1.
What "consequenses will Russia give Ukraine?(After they managed to artillery bomb a Russian border town) Some souces say that the Russians shelled their own city and somone said the Ukrainian shelled it on purpose.
2.
There have been talks about Spetnaz infiltrating Ukraine tommorow and Poroshenko said they have seen Russian soldiers in Lugansk. Can this increase the risk of war between Ukraine and Russia?
3.
It seems Lugansk is close to beeing taken over by Kiev millitary forces, they have broken the blockade of the airport that is still under control of government forces. If Kiev liberates Lugansk what consequenses will that lead to?
