Dima - I believe those unemployment numbers for Ukraine are lies. Even here in America, it is well-known that unemployment rates are exaggerated. It does not take into account people that are under-employed, gave up trying to find work or otherwise do not have a real job. So I think double easily whatever the government claims it is. |

Yes I think the Separatists already captured huge stockpiles of Ukraine equipment. Some of it I am sure was originally from Russia anyway back in Soviet era. I think that is good point. Russia does not need to give the Separatists much since plenty was already captured. |

I'm talking about the heavy equipment, tanks, APC's, etc. I wonder what happened when Yeltsin took power. Did Soviet army take equipment back to HQ in Russia after fall of govt? I can't imagine all of it was salvaged. My guess is that former Soviet states that broke away from Russia after fall of Soviet Union, must have inherited a large arsenal of abandoned military equipment. The biggest fear here in the West is 100% accounting of chemical weapons and of course nukes. |

DJ,
I don't think Ukraine took very good care of it at all. Look at this link here. There must be 100's of rusting russian tanks in this tank graveyard in the Ukraine: tank graveyard |

Thanks for the heads up Grunt. I see news feeds, of all sorts of "sources" coming out from both sides and a few videos who knows how correct they are. Have you seen any of the convoy moving yet over the border? I haven't. |

Obama has condemned it made another of his empty threats, that got stale when he has a tissy years ago.. I don't see why kerry is not headed there. He'll keep his high ranking people far away from there. Knows he has no pull, but read on Arutz Sheva that Kerry is about to stick his nose back into the Israeli-Hamas negotiations, even tho neither Abbas, or Netanyahu, even Egypt want him there! Trying to look important somewhere, while the east burns. Ukraine convoy |

So what are you trying to say...we should bomb Dima and the rest of Russia? |

All talk no solutions. There is no peace in Israel until they have a real legitimate solution to make a fair deal with the Palestinians...and that will never happen with Netanyahu in power because he doesn't want to. |

noone will bomb Russia until he has a working Missile Defence Wink. |

Very well put Dima. Nobody messes with a super power that is armed to the teeth without having a counter measure in place. It's why they build defensive measures, NOT tear them down. Correct? |

The BBC also reported that separatists in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk had planned to hold their own parade that would showcase destroyed Ukrainian armored personnel carriers and captured Ukraine soldiers. However, it could not be immediately confirmed that such an event had taken place. |
