  1. Try doing a little research the Russians left the mayor of the town was interviewed on the 31st of March he was alive and well! Ukrainian military comes in video showing them arriving there are no bodies lying in the streets deceased! Today there is video from a Ukrainian TV channel saying that they found the bodies of the mayor his wife and his son! So if the Russians left the day before the mayor gives an interview the ukrainians arrive and all the sudden the mayor and his family are dead and there’s bodies in the street it wasn’t the Russian!

  2. Time to send in them Mig29 and S-300 refills and see who has inherited soviet tanks they can use – it has to be now before the big push in Dombas – do you think them Syrian mercenaries arriving will be any kinder to the Civilians?
