Incorrect.

If only 15% had voted in favor, there would have been public protests and loud voices against Crimea joining Russia. All we hear is "happy news" from the locals.

You are again sliding into the dark abyss of NGO/CIA backed propaganda.

In Kiev, through the identification of suspicious objects closed metro station "Arsenal".

On-site experts are MIA. The area near the entrance to the underground fenced.

Owners of nearby cafes and shops, law enforcement officers were asked to temporarily close schools.

Video filmed in Mariupol today. Around the 2:50 mark you can see a civilian firing a handgun in the direction of the National Guard units and blending in with the crowd afterwards:



Evidence disproving the "innocent, unarmed civilians killed by the junta" theory keep piling up...

The mods have already warned about the bickering and to keep on topic.

Personally I used this thread to check updates about the Ukraine yet due to the constant bickering and from the same five people it has become a nuisance. As such I have been going elsewhere to get the news on the Ukraine.

Xcathdra, You need to stop responding to the trolls. Post updates and stop letting them bait you into lengthy responses. As bad as some of the people are you are not helping by entering into a debate with them. You have been around here long enough to know better.

As reports of separatist reinforcements coming to Mariupol from other parts of the Donetsk region appear online, the Ukrainian troops at the Mariupol airport prepare for an assault:

In Mariupol heavily armed terrorists are preparing an assault military unit and the aerodrome.

Warned about this MP Oleg Lyashko on his page on Facebook.

" These" civilians " during the attack on the police department used grenade launchers , machine guns , assault rifles and sniper rifles . These" civilians " are now preparing for the assault of the Natsgvardii and aerodrome where our troops are based ," - he said.

Ljashko sure that the bloody events in Mariupol May 9 - is the work of terrorists controlled by Russia . " They attacked the city police department , during which people were killed . It terrorists snipers killing random people on the streets , then to blame it on the Ukrainian authorities , " killing civilians "- says the MP.

I was scrolling through the list for the hashtag #Ukraine on Twitter and a few Tweets did mention a man carrying a gun and shooting at the Ukrainian army. I don't know how true that is.

@SkyNewsBreak: Update - Reuters: #Ukraine Foreign Ministry says about 20 "terrorists" were killed in fighting in Mariupol

MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Ukrainian security forces wielding rocket-propelled grenades attacked a police station in this city of half a million on Friday, reducing the building to smoldering rubble and killing at least seven people, according to local residents who say they watched the assault.

The attack signaled what appeared to be a major escalation in the interim government’s fight with pro-Russian militants in southeastern Ukraine, and came two days after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia urged that the separatists delay a referendum scheduled for Sunday and that all sides settle their differences through dialogue.

Hours after the assault, the bodies of two of the dead were still lying in the street, possibly victims of gunfire that the security forces leveled against a crowd of people who broke away from a pro-Russian Victory Day march to lend support to the police inside the station, residents said.

Not with the Russian army there to back up the 15 percent. And we are starting to hear things out of Crimea even there attacking groups who were against annexation such as the Tatars and Ukrainian. still armed Russians on the streets disbanded the police claiming there corupt (didnt want any other armed units other than them).

Nonsense. Dissenters get beaten or killed. Pro-Russian thugs have proven that. And who is going to go out and protest en masse with a bunch of Russian special forces standing around with loaded Kalashnikovs?

Errr... Lol


These Ukrainians seriously need to learn how to drive a tank....

I cannot believe how some pro-Kremlin people are trying to depict the crowd in Mariupol today as "peaceful protesters". Yes, they were so "peaceful" the vast majority of them brought firearms and shot at Ukrainian soldiers who quite rightly fired back.
