Ukraine: Fire Storm of the Patterns


Shelling in Slavyansk.


The shoot down of the AN-30 on a recon mission over Slavyansk.  

The Ukrainians have been fighting the LGM at the Lugansk airport.  This seems to be a repeat of what happened in Kiev.



Aftermath of the LGM attack on one of the border guard's stations.

Large portions of the border have been abandoned by the border guards.  They are outgunned and under supplied by Kiev.  Some are holding out.  Like the group which took on 150 guessimated LGM at the border not too long ago.

There has been more fighting at Kramatorsk.




There are multiple bits from that video which are astounding.  I'll let you guess which ones I mean.

Poroshenko has come out and said he's aiming for the EU.  He's hinted he's aimed for NATO as well.  He's also officially president.  he's also promised to take back Crimea. 

There has been a lot of talk in Ukraine.  Talk between the Russians and Ukrainians.  Talk between the Europeans and Russians.  The question is whether or not the talk will become something more than, as the Ukrainians put it, 'empty words.'
