Reuters: Five Ukrainian soldiers killed ahead of Minsk talks: Ukraine military
(Reuters) - Five Ukrainian servicemen have been killed and 12 injured over the past 24 hours despite a ceasefire deal, Ukraine's military said on Wednesday, describing a worsening situation in separatist eastern territories.
The deaths came ahead of a meeting later on Wednesday of envoys from Russia, Ukraine, the OSCE rights watchdog and pro-Russian separatists. They are expected to discuss how to shore up the peace accord they agreed in Minsk, Belarus, in February.
"In the past 24 hours the situation in the conflict zone deteriorated. The intensity of attacks is not falling," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said, accusing the separatists of using weapons outlawed under the ceasefire deal.
WNU Editor: As predicted (by this blog) .... IEDs, snipers, random shootings, ambushes .... all of these attacks are producing a steady stream of corpses and injured soldiers back to Kiev. With spring in full bloom and summer around the corner ..... the woods and foliage will only give more cover for even more ambushes and surprise attacks.

WNU Editor,
Same situation on the Republicans side, except with more Donetsk shelling.
Russian will survive this about as well as the USSR survived the 1930s.
It didn't.
The Republican party is dead.
It is merely a zombie corpse run by RINOs.
The Chamber of Commerce's power over the RINOS is proof.
"Shall we play a game?"
(1) We could play this like Mexico. We could allow 72 hours for the Dreamers to make it to the Canadian border.
(2) The Regime is already put out a call through their people on the ground to come to America. We could tweak the message and tell them to head for Canada instead, because it has better benefits.
(3) Canada has a very low population density. That is so unfair. We should remedy it in the name of social justice.
Anzino,
Ever been to Canada?
The places that are inhabitable, already have a high population density.
I have driven from Detroit to Toronto. I have been to Victoria and Vancouver.
It looks pretty much like the lower 48 and Alaska.
I have also seen the population density in Europe and Asia.
Oh yeah, we could cram lots more people in to Canada.
In otherwords,
You've never been north of 50, but you "know Canada".
Got it. Typical American.
Just build up Calgary or Edmonton.
Get some civil engineers out there, survey the area,take soil samples and start building sky scrapers. They have built sky scrapers on sand in Dubai.
You just have to pour bigger and deeper footings is all.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
You have a better welfare system and they will want a piece of it.
We are told a 2,000 mile border is impossible to patrol. A longer one has got to be worse.
Beside you have the Human Right commission. If you complain some illegal immigrants rights group will bring you up on charges and the HRC has a 100% conviction rate.
All we have to do is go to Guatemala and other places and put out the word that Canada is much better social welfare system than the U.S.
All your complaints are nothing. The logistics is known. More SNAP (Canadian equivalent), more schools , more housing and more heating assistance.
Just dig deeper into your pocket. Paying taxes is patriotic. Joe Biden says so. He loves to steal quotes, so it must have come from a British or Canadian politician. Just dig deep for that loose change Jay.
Yup, Anzino, once again you show that you know nothing, havn't a clue.
Did you know that on a per capita basis, Canada takes in 74% more refugees, and 50% more immigrants than the US?
Despite it being for the most part, not our bombs and not our arms sales creating those refugees and immigrants?
I think you should take 300,000 to a million more a year.
Throw in a little Mara Salvatrucha and some other, stir, wait a while and voila!
Aizino,
The same per capita percentage would have the US take in 11,900,000 a year.
Seeing as the US is the richest, most powerfull, most exceptional, most honest, most generous, most equal nation in the world, with the best medical system,
That's the absolute least you could do,
Oh, wait, no it isn't.
You are already doing the least you can do.
We take about 1.5 to 2 million year after year. That is more than enough.
If you are so happy about illegal immigrants than you take 40,000 to 80,000, children/teenagers per year. Many of them are gang members.
I have seen Mississaugua. You can have it. It was the worst place in metropolitan Toronto that I saw. It was the only place that looked like the U.S. But don't worry. You won't have to visit it. it will come to you. Bonus!
Ainzio,
"I have seen Mississaugua. You can have it. It was the worst place in metropolitan Toronto that I saw. It was the only place that looked like the U.S. "
Yup, couln't have said it better myself.
Our "shitholes" look like the Best America has to offer.
Some day, you should get a passport, and go to Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden , you actually really travel somewhere developed,
So you can see what a wonderfull place America could have been, with all that natural wealth, if it wasn't so full of Americans.
Mississauga .... Toronto .... I first saw the city in 1989 .... and now I am always shocked to see how dirty that city has become just in the past 20 years.
As to Canada's immigration policy .... Jay .... that is going to change .... starting in the province of Quebec. French Quebecers have a long history of not liking outsiders .... and while they have been quiet of late .... the old nationalism is coming back.
The Canadian media is ignoring this story .... the French Quebec media has not .... but the old separatist demons are starting to stir again .... the only difference is that their focus is no longer on the English .... but on "les autres" .... Haitians, Arabs/Muslims, Hispanics, etc.. Fortunately .... Harepr has stayed away from that issue, and the NDP have stayed quiet knowing that it would only be a lose-lose issue for them .... especially in the rural areas. The Liberals .... they are masters at wedge issues .... but J. Trudeau will probably stay away from that also. The Bloc .... well that is another story.
"Our "shitholes" look like the Best America has to offer."
No, they don't
I like how clean Canada was. A Best Western in America seem to be dingy. Not so in Canada.
But you keep importing people and there will be no difference. You are just starting later. It is like when people say the US is 20 years behind Britain or Europe. It is not like a person can laugh, because all the bad stuff happening there will happen here.
But you seem one jolly Buddha.
"Some day, you should get a passport, and go to Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden , you actually really travel somewhere developed,"
You mean the places in the far corners of the globe that have escaped crap, but are no longer.
I would send you to a web site, but you would sue them since you are a Canadian of a certain type. They are just reporting news from established papers across Europe and not right wing ones. Problem is that they report too much news and you cannot handle the truth.
"So you can see what a wonderfull [sic] place America could have been, with all that natural wealth, if it wasn't so full of Americans."

" but on "les autres" .... Haitians, Arabs/Muslims, Hispanics, etc.."
My spouse resembles one of those. The problem is not the color or build. Some people will have to find out the hard way.
