VLADIMIR PUTINS latest victory in Ukraine is turning into a rout. Having already induced Western leaders to endorse a peace plan that virtually guarantees continued Russian control over parts of two provinces, the Russian ruler ordered a large Ukrainian force holding Debaltseve, a key crossroads in the region, to surrender. His forces, including regular Russian army troops, then assaulted the city in brazen violation of a cease-fire. On Wednesday morning, Ukrainian forces withdrew from Debaltseve under fire, suffering a devastating defeat that will further destabilize the shaky Kiev government of Petro Poroshenko. Mr. Putin was so pleased that he indulged in some taunting of the Ukrainians. Of course, its always bad to lose, he said at a news conference Tuesday. Its always a hardship when you lose to yesterdays miners or yesterdays tractor drivers. That was another lie, of course the forces who seized Debaltseve were not former Ukrainian workers but Russian regulars; one Western reporter encountered soldiers who had been dispatched from Siberia. What about Western leaders, who just last week solemnly declared they would hold Russia accountable if the new deal were violated? All agreed there had been, as German Chancellor Angela Merkels spokesman put it, a massive violation of the cease-fire agreement. But there was little visible movement toward imposing meaningful consequences. Instead, officials in Brussels echoed a White House statement that said the costs to Russia will rise if it continues to violate the agreement. That suggested only that additional aggression by Mr. Putin would get a response, maybe.

I laugh every time you try to call me a Soviet, just because I don’t swallow your propaganda BS.
Gotta admit, you do provide good comedy!
Now, just go away, troll.
I'm sure it did, with a little help from the FSB. Hey, I always wanted to ask, how many 'likes' on Facebook do you get from Chechens, and Russian terrorists in general?
lol...
Stop trolling.
It just makes you look like an idiot.
OH...
WAIT....
And I have noticed that you have begun calling people who don’t toe the Kremlin line on FR ‘trolls.’ Some irony, there.
Quick trivia question: Stepan Bandera was held captive in a concentration camp where? And by who? And who ultimately killed him?
So you think I am trolling here on FreeRepublic even though I got here long before you got here, comrade? Go sell crazy love of Putin elsewhere and hate for Ukraine with it. This is a pro-freedom, pro-capitalist, pro-conservative, pro-American, and pro-faith website. You and your love of Putin, the KGB atheist supporter of Iran’s nuke-seeking mullahs, are alien to the American conservative movement. Like you they think love of the USA is You’re definitely one of them and not one of us. LOL.
Your strawmen just make you look like a fool.
Keep it up, though. It’s quite funny!
Multiple Media sources reporting that Kiev has been heavily shelling Donetsk all morning, heaviest since before the ceasefire.
Lugansk is also reporting shelling.
Your kowtowing to Putin proves you’re a fool.
lol...
In the entire YEAR since this has started, you have done nothing but call people childish names, and accuse anybody that dares to question whatever the EuroMaidan-approved Orwellian Current Truth a “Putinista”, or worse. You add nothing to any conversation.
You’ve become a joke, a caricature.
It really is a good laugh.
But I’d still suggest serious mental intervention, though. Do it for your family.
I would if my defense of freedom harmed my family. Will you still kiss Putin’s bum regardless of how it impacts the rest of the world or is your romance too strong. LOL Heeheheh
Your Strawmen are singing again
Do you plan on committing me to a psych ward for resisting Kremlin propaganda? This isn’t your Russia, comrade.
To be fair, they’ve stopped posting photos of Putin shirtless, so that’s a plus.
oops . . . my last should’ve been addressed to you
We’ll always fight for freedom regardless of how much you support Putin and tyranny. Your love for him and his nipples sadly a fact we’ve seen over the last year.
No problem. Probably his fondness is all about Putin’s bod.
The hell is "strategic" cultural/commercial interests? Like anything that involves English speaking countries? You have no clue what you're going on about.
You another Putinista?
Readers, if you want to know who FR's Putinista's are, start off with reading this goon's post and seeing the crap he writes, and who comes over to back him up in his threads.
