Ukraine Says Its Troops Make Breakthrough In Rebel Stronghold -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Ukrainian forces have raised their national flag over a police station in the city of Luhansk which was for months under rebel control, Kiev said on Sunday, in what could be a breakthrough in Ukraine's efforts to crush pro-Moscow separatists.
Ukrainian officials allege though that the rebels are fighting a desperate rearguard action to hold on to Luhansk -- which is their supply route into neighboring Russia -- and say the flow of weapons and fighters from Russia has accelerated.
The foreign ministers of Ukraine and Russia were preparing to meet for talks on the conflict in Berlin on Sunday, though it seemed likely that the diplomacy could be overshadowed by fast-moving developments on the battlefield.

I HAVE FROM SOMEONE RELIABLE WHO SAYS THEY ARE NO WHERE NEAR IN GETTING INTO LUHANSK
The Ukraine military does have an overwhelming advantage in the field .... and I do expect them to eventually seize the major rebel cities .... Luhansk included. The problem is after .... how do you keep the peace when the locals despise your presence. On top of that .... Ukraine does not have the means to establish numerous military garrisons throughout the eastern part of the country ... it will not sustainable over he long run. And then is Russia .... they keep the rebellion for a very long time .... does Kiev have that type of patience .... I doubt it.
