Kiev accuses Moscow of 'invasion'
2014-08-23
[ARABNEWS] Kiev accused Moscow of invading as Russia unilaterally drove a mammoth aid convoy across war-torn east Ukraine on Friday and warned against any attacks on the trucks.

The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
said it "deplored" Russia's decision to order in the convoy without consent and called on Moscow to withdraw the trucks.

Scores of white lorries snaked across rebel-held territory after Moscow abruptly called time a week of haggling with Kiev, despite Red Thingy officials refusing to provide an escort because of security concerns.

"This is a direct invasion," the head of Ukraine's security service, Valentyn Nalyvaychenko, was quoted by news agencies as saying.

But he said Ukraine will not order air strikes on the trucks.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry however claimed that separatist fighters were shelling the convoy's possible route to the rebel bastion of Lugansk some 63 kilometers away and could be planning a "provocation."

Ukraine and Russia both said the other side was responsible for the convoy's security, and Russia's Foreign Ministry warned "against any attempts to disrupt a totally humanitarian mission."

#4  Well, 800 neckbeards kicked out a million strong Shia army in Northern Iraq while iran, a hundred miles off never raised a finger...Same, while 90% of
Ukraine's Army and Navy officers betrayed and defected to the Moskals,
still, Pooty Poot abandoned Odessa and let Donbas dry on the branch, only offering piddling support as it is slowly being leveled...he may eventually take it over but it will be only ruins left and a bunch of pissed off people...
It's fun to laugh at Obama's incompetence, but it sure is dwarfed by the bleating idiocy of Russia, Iran and China(remember their invasion of Viet Nam)

#2  Hey Vlad, listen up you 'zero sum game' SOB. You and Baby Sadat like those happy snaps of ISIS movements and troop concentrations we've been forwarding? Ok, lovely. How about backing off a bit in the Ukraine ?

Hey China, Next time you come near a P3 over international waters, we're sending the Japanese a free nuclear submarine with a long-term maintenance package. How copy over ?

#1  The notion that without Crimea nobody wants them, just doesn't seem to penetrate, does it?
