Ukraine says it has attacked, destroyed part of armed convoy from Russia

[atatwolf]

KAMENSK-SHAKHTINSKY, Russia — NATO and Ukraine said Russian military vehicles did cross into Ukraine during the night and the Ukrainian president said most of them were destroyed by his troops.

A statement on President Petro Poroshenko’s website said that he and British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke by telephone about the reports from some Western journalists that Russian APCs were seen crossing into Ukraine near the point where a Russian aid convoy was parked.

“The president informed that the given information was trustworthy and confirmed because the majority of the machines had been eliminated by Ukrainian artillery at night,” the statement said.

Poroshenko did not include any proof for his statement.

NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance had observed a Russian “incursion” into Ukraine.

“What we have seen last night is the continuation of what we have seen for some time,” he said during a visit to Copenhagen.

Britain said it summoned Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko to clarify the reports of the Russian military invasion.

Following reports that Ukrainian forces had engaged with Russia forces inside Ukraine, markets sold off heavily. Germany’s DAX, for example, which had been trading over 1 percent higher, ended the day 1.4 percent lower. The benchmark price of oil was up over $1 to $96.70 per barrel.

“Traders will be anxiously scanning their newsfeeds for any sign of a Russian response over the coming hours,” said Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG.

Earlier, Russia let Ukrainian officials inspect an aid convoy while it was still on Russian soil Friday and agreed that the Red Cross can distribute the goods in Ukraine’s rebel-held city of Luhansk. The twin moves aimed to dispel Ukrainian fears that the operation was a ruse to get military help to the pro-Russian separatists.

Even during WWII, soldiers and reporters were able to make pictures at the front and now it's soooo bloody difficult.

The Vineyard of the Saker: Novorossiya Military Briefing, August 15, 2014


The Juntas army has be decimated or trapped and the only fighting forces they really have left are the oligarch funded private batallions of neo nazis. No wonder the gay junta in kiev is making up these wild stories that cant even be proven. Not one photo. Not one captured Russian fighter. No bodies. No burnt up tanks. Nothing. Just the words of facists.





Read it and try not to weep ladies or nato homosexuals. Whatever you prefer.

White House: Russia has no right to send vehicles, persons into Ukraine - The Times of India

EDGARTOWN: The White House said on Friday it could not confirm reports that Ukraine had disabled vehicles in a Russian convoy inside Ukraine and warned Moscow that any intervention into Ukraine without Kiev's permission was unacceptable.

"Even as we work to gather information, we reiterate our concern about repeated Russian and Russian-supported incursions into Ukraine," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement.

"Russia has no right to send vehicles, persons, or cargo of any kind into Ukraine, under any pretext, without the government of Ukraine's permission."

Ukraine said its artillery destroyed part of a Russian armoured column that entered its territory overnight and said its forces came under shellfire from Russia on Friday in what appeared to be a major military escalation between the ex-Soviet states.

Russia's government denied its forces had crossed into Ukraine.

The White House said Russia had engaged in provocative behavior to hurt Ukraine and urged President Vladimir Putin to stop supporting separatists.

"The escalation in Russian activity designed to destabilize Ukraine in recent weeks is extremely dangerous and provocative. It includes supplying separatist fighters with tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and multiple rocket launchers (MRLs)," Hayden said in the statement.

"Yesterday, President Putin pledged to 'do everything in (Russia's) power' to end the conflict in Ukraine. He can start by ending Russian firing into Ukraine; stopping its supply of weapons, support and cash to separatists; and closing the border to militants."
