It would appear the Ukr Army should have been concentrating on Iloviask instead of holding a parade in Kiev yesterday.

~It would appear the Ukr Army should have been concentrating on Iloviask instead of holding a parade in Kiev yesterday.~

It seems like the Army is mostly useless anyway. Most of the job is done by ‘national guard’ militias and other paramilitaries. Air Force was a kind of a force multiplier but it is of little to no use by now, as anything in the air in East Ukraine gets shot down almost immediately for a last few months.

Russian reinforcements and air support are starting to have an effect I guess.

How dare the Ukrainians celebrate their Independence Day with a parade.

Barbarian Pro-Russian separatist thugs, one level above ISIS thugs on the evolutionary chain but still one level below Ferguson thugs.

Well, at least they didn’t decapitate them like ISIS would do.
