Ukraine Says Russian Army Officers Fighting With Rebels -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Ukraine on Monday accused Russian army officers of fighting alongside separatists in the east of the country and said Moscow was once more building up its troops on the joint border.
A missile that downed a Ukrainian transport plane carrying eight people near the border was probably fired from Russia, Ukrainian officials said.
President Petro Poroshenko held an emergency meeting of his security chiefs after a weekend of Ukrainian air strikes on rebel positions near the border with Russia and charges by Moscow that Kiev killed a Russian man with a cross-border shell.

My Comment: For Ukrainian President Poroshenko .... it is easy for him to say to his supporters that the people that you are fighting against in eastern Ukraine are foreigners .... and not your own citizens. And while I am sure that there are probably Russian sympathizers from Russia fighting alongside the rebels .... the bulk are not. But this information is not what Kiev wants to hear or voice .... and more to the point .... not what the West wants to be known. But if this conflict continues .... do not be surprised if Poroshenko's claims do become reality .... that Russian soldiers will be ordered to enter the border to stop what (if this war continues into winter) will be essentially a humanitarian disaster. In this case .... everyone loses .... especially for the civilians who live in this region.
