KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Sunday that a convoy of 106 vehicles had entered its eastern territory from Russia without Kiev's permission and accused Moscow of once again using humanitarian aid shipments to send weapons and ammunition to separatist rebels.

In the separatist-held city of Donetsk, fighting intensified at the local airport, a Reuters witness said. There has been continued shelling from both government forces and the rebels, even after a peace deal signed on Sept. 5.
Months of fighting in Ukraine's separatist regions have left many without sufficient food and medical supplies. Russia has regularly dispatched shipments of aid, a move which the pro-Western Kiev government has denounced as cynical.
"The lion's share of humanitarian supplies find their way to the rebels partly in the form of food, but mostly it is ammunition, equipment and other things for combat operations," Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing.
The latest delivery of Russian supplies is the eighth since mid-August, Russian news agency RIA cited Russia's emergency ministry as saying, adding that a total of 9,500 tonnes of mainly food, building materials and medicine had been delivered by the first seven convoys.
A Reuters witness in Donetsk said repeated volleys of artillery fire could be heard from the direction of the local airport, a strategic point that both Ukrainian troops and rebels lay claim to.
Both sides have accused each other of violating the terms of the truce, raising fears it could collapse entirely.
Lysenko said three Ukrainian servicemen and an 82-year-old civilian had been killed in the past 24 hours.
He also said Ukrainian positions in Mariupol, a strategic city on the Sea of Azov, were once again coming under attack from rebel shelling.

Let's see . US spent over $20Billion to plot against Russia, provoke,iginte,
financed the criminal nazi coup in UA, armed and support nazi JUnta in UA only to
gift Russia with Crimea couple months later ...LOL
US punished US/Canadian, Australian farmers who are on a life support right now
with dim chances to survive without huge multi billion dotations from taxpayesrs
Visa and Mastercard payed $3billion for in security deposits only to stay
operated in Russia.
US is crawling to its death crushed by its unpayable $20Trillion debt
45% of Americans live in poverty in the "richest country in the world" and 80%
are crawling from paycheck to paycheck with no chances for descent retirement ever.
Social security system is broke beyond repair.
90% of All wealth is in hands of criminal mafia and middle class is moving full
speed to poverty.and US government continue to spent $Billions and $Trillions of people's money to kill more and more people around the world, to install nazi juntas, to brainwashe weak-minded Americans to a state of brain-dead slave zombie, to push world on the
brink of nuclear self-destructive war with Russia

This latest NATO assertion of Russian involvement in east Ukraine is in addition to 36 -- count them -- prior claims of a Russian invasion of Ukraine since February. Thirty-six invasions of Ukraine but NATO has yet to produce a definitive photograph of a Russian military presence. Either Russia's is the most stealth army in the history of warfare or NATO operatives are misleading those they are paid to serve.

Some would look at this result as failure. Not the US officials who authored the revolt. US Ambassador to the UN today tweeted a far more joyous note:
Of course she will not be freezing in a Ukrainian village this winter either.

There is a kind of mental illness that seems to have overtaken those with influence in foreign policy. What looks like failure to the rest of us -- think: Libya and Syria -- is celebrated as great success.

Ukraine is a disaster? Send in weapons to expand the war! Provoke Russia! Go for broke!

This is madness.

That is small potatoes mick.

Here is what you're really looking at.

Friends, what we are witnessing before our eyes is not some petty statement about the Ukraine or sanctions, it is the admission by Lavrov of a fundamental "clash of civilizations", but not between some wholly imaginary "Christian West" and Islam, but between Christian Russia and the post-Christian West.

between Christian Russia and the post anti-Christian West

Fixed it.

We've experienced this type of mad dog insanity by the western politburo prior to WW1 and WW2, and it appears to be ramping up for WW3.

The entire U.S. Department of State needs to be dismantled and the heads of every department within should be put on trial for war crimes, mass murder, terrorism and treason.

The U.S. Department of State is a collection of the most mentally fucked-up psychopaths on the planet.

They have murdered enough...

The theory about Ukraine getting cleaned out of people, so the Jews can move back in, makes a lot of sense to me. In the meantime, weaken Russia, steal their resources, Israel gains MOAR POWWER as Russia is not able to lend support to Syria. A win for the Zio-killers all around.

Remember, as long as white Christians are being killed, it's all good, from their perspective. And Zios absolutely hate Orthodox Christianity - so having Russian Orthodox Christians kill Ukr. Orthodox Christians is better than Christmas (I mean Hanukkah) for them.

Russia became Christian conservative and the United States became a Marxist totalitarian regime hell bent on world domination.

In fact before Putin makes any major moves he seeks approval from the Russian duma and only acts within their approval.

Obama rules by decree and congress and senate are powerless.
