As pro Russian militia forces attempt to solidify their gains on the southern coast of Ukraina, signs are appearing the Ukrainian military are preparing a general retreat west to the Dnepr River.
Sunday it was reported that a company of Russian paratrooper regulars from the Russian 98th Guards Airborne Division crossed the border near Novoazovsk, that 12 of that group were captured by Ukrainian military, and four tanks were destroyed. It appeared by all information that this was a Russian incursion far south of the area of operation that pro Russian militia have been fighting.
