Ukraine leader vows to retake separatist-held east

Good luck. Make sure you don't kill any civilians, women or children.

This has the feel of a never ending war. Or will end up like Moldova and Trans-Dniestria

Without the will to go all in, how are Ukraine going to retake the east?

Serrano, you must be kidding. It's heavy artillery and multiply rocket systems in densely populated urban area. SOBs in Kiev just know that locals absolutely do not support them, and the Kiev regime forces just don't care about casualties among local population ("kill them, God will sort them out"). Good luck to rebels, I hope that in the fight Kiev forces will loose all the remaining teeth, just like their Hitlerite forefathers.

Asakaze

Thank you so much for understanding - but the most strange thing in this history that this war was just impossible to start.

Ukrainian people don't like to fight and Russian people from Donbass had think of themselves as Ukrainian citizens

It was some little misunderstanding - Russian people from South - East want to speak Russian and not Ukrainian

second - they want more power on local level - to resolve their local problems, and to be more financial independent

Donbass - is a first industrial economic and export - oriented region of Ukraine - they had money and want to keep it.

But they NEVER pretended to be independend. They wanted to be rich and happy INSIDE Ukraine.

On all their demands the answer from Kiev was NO !

Ukraine will be unitarian Ukrainian-speaking state.

You can choose any colour if this colour is black...

It was no compromise and after the putsh of 22 February 2014 - civil war started

"Good luck to rebels, I hope that in the fight Kiev forces will loose all the remaining teeth, just like their Hitlerite forefathers."

Vladamir Putin supports the rebels. Hmmm...

Vladamir Putin supports the rebels. Hmmm...

And what's the problem? The West husbands the Kiev regime killers of civilians. It's much, much worse.

"Vladamir Putin supports the rebels. Hmmm..."

"And what's the problem?"

The problem is Putin insists the downing of that airliner is the fault of the Ukrainian government, among a lot of other negative stuff..

Not only Putin, but Malaysian government also thinks so.

among a lot of other negative stuff..>

Thousands of innocent people are killed, and you're worried about "other stuff"?? Hmmm......

So the situation reached a deadlock

Kiev is unable to crash South East

And Kiev has no intention to recognise South - East

So only one decision - endless war.

But today "Ukraine" is a failed state with a failed economy.

It's not a kaiser Willy Germany in 1914

So Kiev "government " just kill everybody destroy economy and run away

As a result it will be white Somaly

Russia doesn't have the balls to put troops or equipments in East Ukraine. The West will continue the takeover of The Ukraine right on Russia's border. And Putin is letting all of this happen.

SuperLib Russia doesn't have the balls to put troops or equipments in East Ukraine.

Lot of Russian volunteers ( with war experience or just former military personnel ) come to help Russian population of Donbass

To stand such a lot time against regular army ( even so bad as Ukrainian) was not possible without extra ammo and weapons.

But more then 90 % of rebels - local Russian from Ukraine

Hundreds of thousands of refugees come to Russia and not to EU

Food and medicine were supplied from Russia and not from EU

The West will continue the takeover of The Ukraine right on Russia's border. And Putin is letting all of this happen.

Putting economic sanction in action and provide a total support to Kiev EU lost possibilities for

diplomacy with South -East of Ukraine and Russia

The problem in EU - every politician take advantage of anti- Russian rethoric

But nobody is responsible for economic problems - resulting from sanctions
