Sorry for the title, but that is the kind of silliness I am dealing with these days when it comes to the war-promoting propaganda organ:
"Recently there have been sightings of the “green men,” professional soldiers in green uniforms without insignia, the same type of forces that carried out the invasion of Crimea in the spring."
Yeah, except it wasn't an invasion, Crimea voted to join, and do I ever get sick of repeating myself!!
"Russian troops crossing into Ukraine, NATO says" by David M. Herszenhorn | New York Times November 13, 2014
Why do I groan every time I see that institution?
KIEV — A senior NATO official confirmed Wednesday what Ukrainian military officials and monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have been saying for days: Russian troops and military equipment are crossing the border into Ukraine, seemingly preparing for renewed military action, though what exactly remains unclear.
So right after the distraction called elections it is into high gear on the war front.
The assertion was sternly dismissed by Moscow, which for months has denied any military intervention in eastern Ukraine, though it has acknowledged publicly that Russian “volunteers” have crossed into Ukraine to support the pro-Russia separatists.
That invokes images of WWII and its partisans, etc, etc.
I suppose the false front terror groups that western intelligence self-servingly creates is okay because, you know, the greater good and all.
Western officials seemed ready to acknowledge that a cease-fire agreement signed in September had fallen apart, and that the threat to peace in Europe had returned.
Yeah, it came with the illegal junta installed in Kiev months ago.
*********
A Russian government spokesman called US Air Force General Philip M. Breedlove, NATO’s top military commander, unreliable and “alarmist.”
“We have stressed repeatedly that there have never been and there are no facts behind the regular blasts of hot air from Brussels regarding the supposed presence of Russian armed forces in Ukraine,” the spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, told Russian news agencies Wednesday....
Why do I believe him more than, well, you know....
--more--"
Yeah, them (frown followed by low moaning sob).
Turns out the aliens in the UFOs were Russians:
"Russian bomber patrols to reach Gulf of Mexico" by Vladimir Isachenkov | Associated Press November 13, 2014
MOSCOW — In a show of military muscle amid tensions with the West, Russia will send long-range strategic bombers on regular patrol missions across the globe, from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, a top official said Wednesday.
Mimicking the U.S., 'eh, although I'm sure they have not the spy and weapons capacity to carry out total subjugation of the planet like the good old U.S.A. has been doing.
The announcement by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu came as NATO’s chief accused Russia of sending fresh troops and tanks into eastern Ukraine.
Moscow denied the charges, but Shoigu also said the dispute with the West about Ukraine would require Russia to beef up its forces in the Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed....
Once again, they repeat the lie.
What am I truly to think of the rest?

Meanwhile, back at the Russian ranch:
"Ukraine says security deteriorating in rebel-held east" by Peter Leonard | Associated Press November 14, 2014
KIEV — Ukraine warned Thursday that the security situation is steadily worsening in the country’s rebel-held east as separatist fighters move closer to government forces. One official said he feared an attack soon by Russian forces.
I can no longer believe my eyes.
A cease-fire agreed upon in September between the pro-Russian rebels and Ukraine’s government in Kiev has been violated daily, especially around areas coveted by both sides like the airport in the eastern city of Donetsk.
National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the Russian army is massing troops, including air defense units, near the border. Ukraine has accused Russia for months of directly supplying the separatist forces.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich denied the Ukrainian charge.
‘‘There have been and are no military movements across the border or, all the more, any presence of our troops in the southeast of Ukraine,’’ he said Thursday in Moscow.
Ukraine’s warnings of possible renewed hostilities follow multiple recent observations of large military convoys on the move around the country’s eastern separatist-controlled areas. Trucks transporting troops, ammunition, fuel, and large-caliber artillery systems have been seen traveling primarily in the direction of Donetsk, the main rebel-held city.
Ukraine and NATO have said they believe the equipment has been delivered from Russia, although they have yet to provide conclusive evidence for that.
Which they would have because of all the spy plane and satellite surveillance. Thus the conclusion is there is none. It's more war lies, endless goddamn war klieg I'm so effin' sick of.
Monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe watching two Russian-Ukrainian border crossings have noted an increase in military-clad people traveling across the border in the past week.
‘‘The [observer teams saw] 665 men and women in military-style dress crossing the border in both directions. This is the highest number observed so far,’’ the organization said in a report Wednesday.
Are you sure it wasn't 666?
Its observer team saw a van Tuesday marked ‘‘Cargo 200’’ — the Russian military code for soldiers killed in action — crossing from Russia into Ukraine and returning later that same day.
Lysenko, the Ukrainian spokesman, said hostilities have surged in Luhansk, one of two regions bordering Russia where separatists have been waging battle for six months. Government positions in the area have come under repeated rebel rocket and artillery attacks in the last day, he said.
Yeah, the Ukraine army just sits there and takes it. Disregard the mass graves found in areas they have been pushed out or the schools they have shelled.
Reading this superficial and shallow $hit is no longer worth it, sorry. It's simply here to show you, the reader from the world, what crap is being troweled by the regional flag$hit.
The Interfax-Ukraine news agency cited Zoryan Shkiryak, an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Minister, as saying Thursday he anticipated an imminent attack by Russian forces.
Oh, it's "imminent" now.

Hmmm. Just disappeared like a UFO.
‘‘We can indubitably confirm that the probability of another incursion remains quite high and we should be ready for this,’’ Shkiryak was quoted as saying.
Look at that double-talking garbage. It's like he's speaking alien to me.
Speculation about a planned separatist assault has been swirling in Ukrainian media following a news report citing unnamed rebel commanders as saying an offensive will begin Sunday.
Then I will look for a Next Day Update tomorrow and a definite report on Monday.
Ukrainian authorities say residential areas are being increasingly targeted by rebel attacks.
When someone is guilty of the same crime do you believe what they say about the "other guy?"
********
Officials in Kiev are particularly worried about Debaltseve, an eastern town on the main road linking Donetsk and Luhansk that is almost entirely surrounded by separatists. It has come under sustained shelling in the past few weeks.
Looks like the Ukraine army is losing.
President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine, who has pinned hopes for enforcing the truce on the monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, handed over 10 armored vehicles to the group Thursday.
In addition to battling the rebels, Ukraine is struggling to spur its flagging economy and fight galloping inflation. The central bank said inflation has reached 19.8 percent this year and the national currency, the hryvnia, has lost 59 percent of its value against the dollar over the same period.
Look, you guys wanted to join the West! That's what you get!
We warned you, but did you li$ten, no, no, you didn't li$ten.

I think this post is done.
