Wonder how this will go, negotiate with Russia after they airstriked Donetsk airport.

And last news from UNN ( http://www.unn.com.ua/uk/news ) a colon with 40 trucks with armed men from the Russian border is aprocting Donetsk.

Is UNN a safe sourch? And is it true that there are armed people from the Russian border who are entering Donetsk?

Have you any indication how the negotiansions with Russia will go?

Rhaegar,
You must always proceed on the assumption that no source is "safe". Sifting through the stories and trying to come to the most probable explanation is the best you or anyone else can do. But it is your responsibility to do that no one else's.
