Ukraine Continues To Edge Towards Open Civil War



Ukraine Lurches Back Toward Open War on East Fighting -- Bloomberg Businessweek

Ukraine’s east was lurching back toward open war as the government in Kiev and pro-Russian rebels accused each other of launching major offensives in the region.

The Ukrainian government said there were 26 outbreaks of fighting today between its forces and pro-Russian separatists in the country’s east, while the rebels said the Kiev government had launched a major offensive there.

Ukrainian troops are sticking to the cease-fire worked out two months ago and are “staying at their previous positions,” the military press office said in a statement on its Facebook page. It said three Ukrainian servicemen were killed in today’s fighting.

WNU,
Did you notice how close Poroshenko's security detail was to him. They're spooked about something.

James ... there are a lot of Ukrainians who are upset with what has happened .... and this anger and rage is everywhere and on all sides. Even in my case .... there are moments where I feel a great deal of anger on how stupid all of these leaders have been in creating a crisis and a civil war that should never have happened .... and I am esepcially and personally upset with Poroshenko who had the opportunity when he was elected to defuse everything .... but choose a war strategy instead.

So yes .... I have noticed how detailed his security is right now .... and I also know that anyone and everyone who approaches him and/or meets him is first screened, vetted, and body checked.
