Ukrainian- Russians & Russians are matter of uniforms. How these separatists stock pile heavy modern weapons with clear tactical battle readiness all of sudden? It is beyond reasoning and laughable to deny that mother Russia is not behind all these. The West have plenty info on it. E.U would take stronger action if not being blackmailed with Putin's gas. The mafia and bully always demand to see evidences since they are the master of disguise. Where they will end up?

A sensible move. Russia has backed various Arab sponsors of terror and backs North Korea, a sponsor of terror. That is before we get into their own actions of assassination and invasion.

That is a word coined by the true terrorists.

Why don't the just say the truth, they do not want to negotiate settlement, they want to totally destroy all of the Russian speaking Ukrainians, it is called genocide or ethnic cleansing or Holocaust or simply do what the west is ordering them to do. In the pictures I see old russian heavy weapons on both sides but also lots of new non Russian weapons on Kiev side. Kiev got a lots of weapons from NATO. One should not mix the Crimea with what is going on now. In case of Crimea Russia got back what was Russian in the first place. In the case of eastern Ukraine they are stuck with desperate efforts of Russian speaking Ukrainians fighting for their rights to exist as free human beings. They can't just walk a way from this people and that is what NATO is using to its advantage. NATO wants Russia involved so they have a reason to Squeeze on it and eventually invade it or destroy its political and economic infrastructure and dtan control its Government and its economy.

Ukraine has a large manufacturing base and this includes arms manufactures that supply to Russia. So you sort of have it backwards. Ukraine ---> Russia

Terrorism is defined as the use of violence to further a political agenda.

This definition doesn't really work, because then any government that employs military force will be terrorist. There's actually some truth in this conclusion, but I'm sure the world's governments are not going to like this conclusion very much at all.

Anyway, according to the stereotypical borderlines between guerillas / insurgents and terrorists, namely that the former go mostly against military / government targets and the latter go against regular civilians in the hope of a political change, the Russian separatists, whether they receive aid from Russia or not, simply are not terrorists.

But then, the West is just sp eager to put a pinch on Russia that they may be willing to go with this latest absurdism, and think about how they can separate their actions and their supported groups from the title later.

Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations says his country soon will ask the world body’s member states to formally recognize Russia as a sponsor of terrorism. Ukraine’s parliament also declared the Russia-backed separatist republics in the east to be terrorist organizations. That formally eliminates the possibility of holding peace talks with the republics’ representatives.

This is the end : before 2nd Maidan a lot of good things were promised to Ukrainian by pro-Western politicians

2 000 Euro as salary 1 000 Euro as pensions visa-free travel to Europe...

We will sign a Euro association and we will be in Europe !

As a result of putsh - Ukrainian state collapsed most factories and plants closed

charges for electricity, gas, water soared...

What is a solution ?

We have a war against Russia !

An whole Donbass population are terrorists ....

Doesn't that require a consenting resolution from the Security Council, in which, Russia wields a veto?
