Pro-Russian rebels attacked a military checkpoint in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing 13 Ukrainian soldiers, in one of the most violent incidents of the past few weeks as the country heads toward presidential elections this weekend.
The rebels fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the checkpoint, hitting an ammunition stash in one of the vehicles, which exploded, according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, reported theAssociated Press. The incident took place outside the town of Volnovakha near the restive eastern city of Donetsk.
The US leader seems uninterested (probably with good reason...this is a European problem).
Everyone hides behind the NATO General Secretary...and that institution is useless. It allows inactivity to be seen as activity. They're literally doing nothing of substance.
I've said before and this reinforces that opinion.
Ukraine is lost and before this is over we will cheer Russian soldiers rushing in to provide stability.
SIDENOTE: The world is losing its mind! Ukraine is headed toward implosion, Thailand is in the midst of a coup, China is facing off against the Philippines and Vietnam, Russia vetoed potential resolution to the Syria crisis, Egypt is returning to a militarized police state (not necessarily a bad thing from a US perspective), Libya is headed to an outright civil war, Terrorist are running wild in Africa (check out Nigeria!) and that is just off the top of my head..
