Ukrainian military - "By reducing the number of attacks, the terrorists want to provoke ATO (Anti Terrorist Operation) forces to more active operations"

"The decrease in attacks is connected to the fact that the enemy is trying to adhere to the Minsk agreements thereby wants to provoke our military for more active hostilities and fighting"

P.S. Collective schizophrenia strikes Ukraine more and more...

Why is the new wave of Kremlin propaganda vs Ukraine of such amazingly low quality?
Two recent examples from Zvezda, the Russian military's own TV channel.

Yesterday, NATO Allies discussed the situation in eastern Ukraine. Allies expressed their serious concern about the recent sharp escalation of violence.

Russia has a special responsibility to find a political solution. Any attempt by the Russian-backed separatists to take over more of Ukraine’s territory would be unacceptable to the international community!

Ще не вмерла Україна. Ukraine has not yet died.

Ukraine's glory has not yet died, nor her freedom,
Upon us, compatriots, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own.
Refrain x2
Souls and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom,
And we will show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation!

Tomorrow it's Independence Day of Ukraine.
День незалежності України.

I like Blue and Yellow:)

A court in Russia has jailed Ukrainian film-maker Oleg Sentsov for 20 years for plotting terrorist acts in Crimea.
Russia denies claims that he is a political prisoner.
Another Crimea activist, Alexander Kolchenko, who was being tried with Sentsov and also denies the charges against him, was sentenced to 10 years.

No wonder that Russia can send so much armour to Ukraine without being noticed.

A prisoner exchange has taken place between government forces and pro-Russia rebel fighters in Ukraine.
An agreement was reached to release 12 soldiers from each side on the border of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (known as the DNR or DPR).
Of the group of Kyiv-backed fighters, one who was from the area reportedly chose to remain in Donetsk.

P.S. Where are an elusive troops of Russian army? Every exchange of prisoners show the local people who fight there.

Geeze Igor.
Dont you read the news?
Those exchanges happens all the time. Even before the Minsk "agreements".

And the so called "elusive Russian" troops are in Ukraine.
But with no military id. I don't think Russian soldiers are so keen to fight in the summer holidays and most likely are they orded by Putin to do their job.
Oops. Russian news site Business Life (Delovaya Zhizn) revealed what seem to be official figures detailing the number of Russian troops killed and injured in "Eastern Ukraine."
2,000 are said to have died with over 3,200 Russian forces injured.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/the-number-of-russian-troops-killed-or-injured-fighting-in-ukraine-seems-to-have-been-accidentally-published-10472603.html
There is even an organisation in Russia with mothers of the missing Russian soldiers.
The Russian are buried with no names and nobody knows where.
Do you want to know what happened to Russian paratroopers from Pskov near Estonia?

Ukraine asked Russia on Friday for lower gas prices for the winter and said Moscow should accept to write off a part of its loans to Kiev, as other international bondholders did this week.

P.S. Ukrainian government, as usually, ask for more help from the aggressor. They have very strange logic... Or they really (non-officially) understand that the "aggression" is the myth.

According to Borodai, the number of Donbas volunteers varies between 30,000 and 50,000. "Russian volunteers should be socially protected and united, that is why we are establishing this organization."
http://tass.ru/en/russia/816955
The Russian government has never denied presence of its nationals in Donbas stressing that these people were volunteers, not mercenaries.

Of course not. Kremlin denies everything.
Volunteers my ass...
Most of them are enlisted russian soldiers on vacation in Donbass orded by Kremlin!
50,000 volunteers! Give me a break.

And the Russian media are now more aggressive than ever to ridicule the Nordic States.
Such as this.

The Blue Division was a unit of Spanish volunteers that served in the German Army on the Eastern Front of the Second World War.
Size - 45,482 through rotation. Population of Spain was about 26 millions in 1941.
Population of Russia was about 146 millions in 2014.

WWII?
You cannot compare WWII with what happening in East Ukraine right now.
In East Ukriane there is a hybrid warfare.
Russian soldiers on "leave" with a lot of Russian military weapons fighting together with pro-russian ukrainians in Donbass.

Donbass is a VERY small region in Europe!

Russian and proxy forces in East Ukraine are under president Putin’s command.
Even in case of irregular troops, Putin has full responsibility for Russian citizens and arms which have been allowed over the border by Russian authorities!

Hmm.
Both Nazi swastika and salute, Islamic state flag, "Jella, Jella", "Allahu Akbar".
And Azov battalion emblem!

Strange family. What are they fighting for?

Euronews - Ukrainian police clash with protestors after Parliament decentralization vote

Clashes have erupted between protesters and police in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, as MPs gave their initial backing to reforms for greater autonomy in the disputed east of the country.
At least 10 injuries have been reported.
A loud explosion was heard as footage shows objects thrown over the police cordon.

All patriotic Ukrainians, if they don't want get schizophrenia, must think that the Putin's agents beat the Putin's agents near the Rada now. LOL.

According to advisor to the Ukraine's Internal Minister Anton Gerashchenko, a grenade was thrown at law enforcers. The Internal Ministry considers the clashes a terrorist attack, he wrote.
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150831/1026386506.html#ixzz3kOoY1xPx
I saw some Pravy Sector members and flags in the crowd so I think it's most likely they who threw that.

Around 90 persons have been injured by shrapnel and the subsequent riot, almost all police and National Guardsmen. Around 30 protesters were arrested, but clashes continued in other parts of central Kiev.

"We have arrested a person and seized a number of grenades, including the F-1 that allows maximum damage," wrote Interior Minister Arsen Avakov on his Facebook page.

According to some information, including from Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitjko, at least one person have died.

UNIAN: The suspect in killing of the National Guard soldier, detained by police, was a member of Sich volunteer battalion of patrol police special forces.

There is no Russian involvement in this terrorist attack.
Protesters from the ultranationalist Right Sector organization and the Svoboda (Freedom) party turned against riot police during the protest against the bill, throwing sticks, smoke bombs and tear gas canisters and beating police officers with sticks and truncheons. The violence climaxed with one protester hurling a live grenade at National Guard servicemen, causing more than 100 injuries and the three deaths so far.
