Ukraine Says Russian Forces Lead Major New Offensive in East

As soon as Meriupol falls the rebels will take Melitopol and then move north linking up with the forces already breaking the Junta ring west of Donetsk.

I do not think Russian forces are involved or should be involved. There are upto 50,000 Chechens ready to help DPR at just one shout. Lots of other semi-mercs can be hired from Afghanistan, Syria and other areas. Russia should however provide good amount of heavy and also handy weapons and further training to these soldiers.

Once NovoRossiya is official then Kiev Junta will be holding on to a landlocked territory facing Russians from three sides. For NATO to place forces in that area of the map would be stupid at the least. Junta blew it up right from Feb 22nd when they chased Yanukovich out.

Interesting...because as I recall you said that Russia should pour heavy armor into Ukraine.

So which is it should, or shouldn't be involved as most of us already know the true answer?

And what happens when it isn't, because you know it is just a Putin pipe dream that just isn't working out too well for him at the moment.

No his own parliament wanting to impeach him was a big part on why he left. Also that Junta government you keep saying is still the same parliament that was with Yanukovic during his presidency. So then to be fair Yanukovic was part of that junta army also.
