Todays reports are that the military airport was under army's protection, but a it was under attack which got repelled. No losses from the defenders side. The aircrafts were set in the air since they didn't want to risk those being captured so they were flying around, over Kramatorsk as well. Edit: there might be a misunderstanding about airports near Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. | ||

Earlier the mayor of the town, who previously supported the separatists, asked people not to participate in unlawful actions after separatists decided to have their own self-proclaimed mayor of Slavyansk. | ||

Looks like Russian media sources just edited footage from an FSA video showing them gunning down a Syrian Air Force jet... Edited footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=YOmAOJNmbiY Real footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=vGC_xHUzzM8 What reports? Both links lead to basically the same video. And in neither they are speaking Russian. | ||

It won't change things very much right now but having actual Russian soldiers as prisoners could become a big bargaining chip for Kiev. | ||

BTW it's extremely funny this "a la carte" ethnicity that (western) media provide. Back to the Kosovo it was just "the albanians", now you will hear about "russian speaking people" or "people with russian ancestry"and so on. | ||

Berkut was and remains under Yanukovich's and thus Russia's control. (b.1) You can't just throw such accusations out there. I dare you to find footage of armed protesters in Kyiv trying to take over buildings before the violent crack-down by Berkut. (b.2) You miss the point. Those protesters aren't protesters, they are Russian special forces, i.e., an invading force. You're supposed to send your army against an invading force. (c) A quick review of my twitter feed tells me that every Western journalist on a few pages refers to Pro-Russia [protesters/separatists/armed rebels/troops/forces]. I don't know what you're complaining about. The only ones referring to russian speakers is MFA Russia, as they have their compatriot policy. | ||

The United States is giving its tacit support to Ukrainian military action against pro-Russian separatists. White House spokesman Jay Carney says such action isn't the preferred option, but that the Ukrainian government has to respond to what he says is an untenable situation. In the first Ukrainian military action against a pro-Russian uprising in the east, the government said special forces on Tuesday recaptured a small airport that had been occupied by militiamen. Ukraine's acting president had earlier announced an "anti-terrorist operation" against insurgents who have seized control of numerous buildings in the country's east. Carney says the Ukrainian government has to respond because of its responsibility to maintain law and order. The U.S. continues to support economic and diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Source. Edit: I guess Russia is starting to regret not being able to close off the entirety of Ukraine to journalists, and UN and OSCE observers. | ||
