Ukraine Today:

A militant leader in Ukraine's eastern city of Donetsk has admitted that Russian soldiers are fighting among his forces in the insurgency. Alexander Zakharchenko, the prime minister of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, told Russian media that between 3,000 and 4,000 Russian soldiers on leave from their posts have been fighting in the insurgency.

If Russia openly invaded Ukraine at this point, they would be doing Ukraine a favor. Winter is coming, the economy has collapsed, and the trees are already starting to turn.

Which proves you're a lying Russkie posing as an American. It is the Americans who would prefer to die than to live in chains, licking the hand that feeds us. Russkies like it just the other way around.

The West logically should stop babysitting in Ukraine. The US and Europe have a real problem to deal with now.

Shut up Russkie. Why do you always think we want your stupid Russkie opinions? What babysitting have we even done as Russia is killing people left and right? Stick to what you know, like vodka and cigarettes.

As long as the people pulling the strings in Kiev remain in power, it’s going to continue downhill, I fear.

Shut up Russkie! The only thing that's clear is that you still want to mislead Freepers into believing that the East and the South of Ukraine support separatism, when every poll, both local and international, say otherwise. If you like slavery so much, stay a filthy Russkie and keep it within your borders. Ukrainians do not want it, and neither do Freepers.

You should Google Odessa Massacre.

Why not just post that anti-semite article you did before that detailed the "massacre" of poor Russkies burning to death (while also, for some reason, making the anecdote that the Jews commit false flag terror attacks), who had ran into a building after shooting at Ukrainian football fans. Maybe Matt_DZ_PL will appreciate your anti-semite author as much as you obviously did.

Maybe you have, since Russkie immigrants of wealth are notorious for abusing welfare where they can. They're like the Arabs of the slavic world.

Maybe too much Ron Paul and Russia Today has given you rabies, thus reducing you to the level of a Russkie.

Don’t worry about it. This one calls anybody that doesn’t regurgitate what Kiev says, uncensored, a “Russki”.

Parrot Russian propaganda, and you are a "Russki." So what if it's in name, only?

“1,500 ignored demonstrators”

Backed up by the power of Right Sector’s guns. And you wonder WHY the Army doesn’t want to give them heavy weapons?
