DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - Pro-Russian separatist rebels force-marched dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war along a main street of the rebel-held Ukrainian town of Donetsk on Sunday.
People shouted "fascists" at the group, who walked with heads bowed. They were largely unshaven and dishevelled and dressed either in combat fatigues or civilian clothes.

Another 7000 government troops are rumored encircled by the rebels.
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.
