very interesting article. I confuse why he keep calling Russian tanks column "former rope factory worker" ?

finally! I was afraid it will never happen. Russian military try to get rid of this (signed by some civilian idiot) contact for many years unsuccessfully. They was told there will be huge financial penalties if they do it from their side. Now they can finally do it. They have to cancel it quickly... word "halts" worry me a little. donating them to Ukraine will be not bad move either...

Thanks for link Beagle. I read part of it yesterday but always nice to have original full version.

You don't have to look for phantom Russian army man. Just search on Facebook for recent (1-2 weeks) "separatist" posts with video. There lots of them show captured troops and armors (tanks, apc, grads). They mostly in Russian and Ukrainian but i think you get the picture. Ask your GF to translate it for you. Be advised, there is a real (!) fighting on some of them. And some of the story they (captives) tell really ugly. There are 117.000 Ukrainian troops involved with ATO. This include national guard, right sector brigades, private oligarch army's and who know what else. You tell me 1000 Russian troops with mysterious 10 tanks and without any air support at all can (and did) turn tide in 24 hours ??? Its quite impressive .. but i'm not buying it. Sorry. The problem with you guys ( as a matter of fact with all of us) sometime we just refuse accepting the truth, if that not what we want or expect.

for last week rebels get 50+ tanks and other armors from surrounded Ukrainian troops. They surrender or run away without any attempt to at least destroy it. Wonderland.

that's because you take it to seriously :-) Relax man and stop watching RT (its the same as BBC or CNN). Take a spin in Assetto Corsa.

Yes, indeed.. specially if 99% Tajikistan population already work (legally or not) in Russia (no relocation needed) :o guys, is this "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory part 2 ? http://www.itinvest.ru/assets/images/Rompuy-804.png (263 kB)

Nagorno-Karabakh was fight between Muslim Azerbaijan and Christian Armenia. Neither Russia or US/NATO has anything to do with it.

I actually watch this TV show. I did't notice this part (maybe miss it somehow because i pay much more attention to girl who sit right next to Putin). Bu if what they report is right, and they did't cut small part from whole content (like Reuters famous "translation error" trick they like so much) than i agree with you. It was not smart to say at least, specially if we consider all recent events.

What ms Nazarbayev have to do with this ??? Russian officials use word "partners" recently with smile as a joke when they referred to peoples like Cameron. But i agree it make no sense now. With 17% support among local population Cameron do not represent anyone at all :o Wait.. what ? Is this include 13 days coffee break ?

never been in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. So i don't know. But speaking with peoples from Spain, France and Italy (locally) i have quite opposite impresions. Guys from England don't care about politics that much (specially girls :-) unless she live in Paris...:) But i guess London is a key word here.

you are wasting your time, man. Vilas only honest-one from them who use his real country under his avatar :cool:

...and this mean total 75% support new government ? You do realize then more then half of separatist actually Russian-speaking Ukrainians ? that's because 80% of Ukrainian don't speak Ukrainian at all...

If by "half of Europe" you mean albania and cosovo than it sound as a complement... (neither of them part of real Europe anyway ... judging by "locals" opinion. Geographically maybe.. not otherwise) What was a "time stamp" on fake video uks posted first day ?

sorry guys, its for ArtTem only. His PM disabled, i can't contact him other way.

Thanks for YT links. I'm subscribed to this channel. Like this one:

i read it today in the morning, but after this part i laughing so much then i skip the rest... I was not aware "financial crysis" strike UK so hard. They can't even hire/afford decent reporters anymore. Sad..

Not sure guys you so this video before. WARNING: Don't watch it if you to sensitive. I'm asking vilas (i'm sure he know some Russian) to translate it for you. Specially what guys who filmed it sad from the very beginning. Pay attention where bullets come from 0.35. **removed**

thats what "svoboda" (not sure it right name) and other pro-kiev guys keep blaming them. You can easily find it , if your search "ukraine official media" on this topic. I guess thats actually one of the reason tension between them escalating most recently. I'm afraid there is a clearly 3 sides of a conflict (most likely official kiev most weakest from 3 at this point). All 3 have their own "sponsors" with their own interests.

think of it this way... from 100+ peoples killed at maidan, not a single one was from "right sector" ;-) They was very active for 2 month and magically disappear 2 hours before shooting start...:j:

i can even see your smile when you type it :p

Definitely. After all they only loosing 2-3 city's a day at most :o no you don't. You usually supply them with AT and AA weapons... (like in Syria)
