"Panic in Kiev: Ukrainian forces surrender Donbass"And then there is this video evidence: American "boots on the ground" have invaded Eastern Ukraine. How do you say "Get out of my face, please!" in Ukrainian? I guess the grunts aren't taught that in Basic Training... are they too busy learning how to shell civilians and then blame the other side?
International observers report of growing panic in Kiev in connection with the successful counteroffensive of the separatists near Donbass.
Over a week of fighting the partisans have delivered a heavy blow to the Ukrainian forces. The group of Ukrainian fighters in Donbas suffered huge losses, the soldiers are demoralized, the officers are confused and unable to control the situation.
Ukrainian military leadership is seriously concerned of a new encirclement near Debaltsevo, as well as in other areas.
The situation is made worse by the fact that army and national guard reserves are almost completely depleted, and plugging the gaps in defense using small formations cannot stabilize the front. Besides, the Ukrainian forces are running low on ordnance, food and medical supplies.
In turn, the partisan field commanders report 752 killed Ukrainian military personnel, 59 destroyed tanks and a large number of people taken prisoner. In view of their combat successes, the partisans are refusing to take part in any further negotiations in the format of the Minsk agreements and threaten to continue the counterattack.
Local authorities in Ukrainian-controlled districts near the front report that Ukrainian soldiers are deserting with their weapons and taking to looting the countryside in increasing numbers.
In this critical situation the military is afraid to report to president Poroshenko the real situation in the southeast of the country, hiding from him the full scale of the catastrophe.
The head of state is still convinced that the situation is under control, and hopes that in case of a real threat he will still have the chance to ask the West for help.
Puppet Masters
Comment: It looks like Kiev's fears have come true. Zakharchenko has announced an offensive on Ukrainian-occupied Mariupol:
I want to say the following: Today began an offensive on Mariupol [the crowd cheers], God willing in a couple of days Debaltsevo cauldron will be closed. And it will be the best answer to honor the memory of the dead. Because we will pay back everyone, we will pay those who pulled the trigger or pushed the button which launched the missiles that killed our countrymen here. Those who shot people in Gorlovka, Makeevka, Yenakievo, Shakhtersk, Zhdanovka, Kirovka. Will pay back for each of our murdered child, and each old man innocently killed here.Now, the DPR and LPR armies have joined up and successfully encircled Ukrainian troops in Debaltsevo: that's 7,500 Ukrainian troops trapped.

The fascist junta crazies presently in power in Kiev won't last much longer.
Half-bright Scientologist bankster Yatsenyuk is merely a puppet of the CIA and PNAC neocons led by Victoria Nuland and backed by finance capital hyenas like Soros and vampire squid Goldman Sachs, fronted by the IMF.
The oligarch Poroshenk is just a clueless figurehead who probably will be made a scapegoat. He should keep his private jet fueled and idling at the airport and pay his personal protection mercenary detail daily, in gold.
Their major problem is that they've promised the vampire squid brigade and its fascist berserkers that they'd soon take Novorussia, starting with Doneskt, at the airport. That has now failed, and they don't have Plan B.
In fact, Kiev's armed forces are in disarray, losing on all fronts and about to be overrun. The junta won't get any more money fronted for failure, so its government of thieves is likely to implode soon. It will be fun to watch.
"...Ukrainian forces are running low on ordnance, food and medical supplies."
Looks like it's just about time for another cease-fire, to restock, regroup, and re-supply from their western masters.
