Fighting Breaks Out As Ukraine Deploys Tanks, APCs, Troops In Slavyansk: Deaths Reported
A day after the acting government in Kiev announced the Geneva agreement is void and that it would once again send special forces to deal with "terrorists" in east Ukraine, it had made good on its promise and over the past few hours, Ukrainian tanks, APCs and other special forces troops took control of a checkpoint north of Slavyansk on Thursday, following what numerous reports confirm was an exchange of gunfire.
What happened next is not exactly clear. Reuters reports that "when the armoured unit approached along a road from Sviatogorsk, which Ukraine's government said it recaptured on Wednesday, militants set up a smokescreen of burning tyres. Within half an hour, the Ukrainian force was in control of the position near the village of Khrestyshche. No shots were heard."
Reuters continues:
Ukrainian forces appear to be closing in around Slaviansk, a city of 130,000 which has become a military stronghold for the pro-Russian movement and is entirely controlled by separatist fighters.
Reuters journalists saw Ukrainian troops digging in outside the city on the main road south to the regional capital Donetsk.
Earlier in the morning, a spokeswoman for the separatist authorities in Slaviansk, Stella Khorosheva, said on Facebook that two people were killed at a checkpoint overnight.
Local online news site slavgorod.com.ua quoted other separatist representatives saying one man was dead and another seriously wounded after a group of local militia fighters from a checkpoint went to engage a group of "armed men" between Slaviansk and Sviatogorsk and were then fired on from a wood.
The Ukrainian government said troops repelled an overnight raid on a base at Artemivsk, to the south of Slaviansk on the road to Donetsk. A soldier was wounded in the attack by about 70 people who Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said on Facebook were led by Russian soldiers.
This conflicts somewhat with reports from both AFP and RT of a far more serious escalation including shooting at the Slavyansk checkpoint, and that according to @GazetaRu at least six people have been killed so far. Just out from RT:
Fighting has erupted just outside Slavyansk, a town in east Ukraine where population voiced their protest against Kiev authorities. Ukrainian troops on tanks and armored vehicles are trying to break into the town.
According to Ukrainian Interior ministry, at least five self-defense guards have been killed and one policeman injured after the ‘antiterrorist operation’ launched by Kiev in the city. Three checkpoints erected by the anti-government protesters have also been destroyed.
“Around 40 minutes ago fighting started on the outskirts of Slavyansk,” one of the leaders of self-defense forces, Miroslav Rudenko , told Interfax. We are checking reports of one dead and one injured. There are shootings at a number of checkpoints at some of Slavyansk exit-roads.”
Rudenko said it was impossible to reach self-defense leaders in Slavyansk by phone, suspecting that mobile phone connection could have been switched off.
More from RT:
Police has announced the beginning of the crackdown via loudspeakers and a special vehicle is currently patrolling the streets warning local people about the crackdown.
The local citizens in the city are preparing for the Kiev crackdown. The majority of shops, kindergartens and schools have been closed in the city. Only the shops selling bread and water remain open. Rossiya 24 TV channel reported there was a slow offensive by Ukrainian troops on Slavyansk.
“Now armored vehicles and special forces are just 10km away from the town,” said Rossiya 24 correspondent currently on the ground.
According to locals, at least eight armored infantry vehicles passed the village of Hrestische, near Slavyansk, on Thursday morning, reports Gazeta.ru.
At least three snipers from Ukrainian army are now at the barricades, the residents also told Gazeta.ru, adding that when one of the journalists tried to approach the barricades, the snipers opened fire.
Meanwhile, two columns of armored vehicles are heading towards Slavyansk. The first column is now 6km from the city, while the second is 3 to 4km, Mayor of Slavyansk Vyacheslav Ponomarev told Rossiya 24 TV channel.
According to the latest reports, self-defense forces have repelled the attack of the Kiev gunmen at the key checkpoint in north of Slavyansk. At least three infantry vehicles had to retreat, reports Rossiya 24.
Meanwhile, the armored infantry vehicles are currently heading towards the town of Izyum in the Kharkov Region, not far from Slavyansk.
Anti-government protesters are still controlling the checkpoints on the outskirts of Slavyansk.

Is it just me or do these Ukrainian troops look different this time?
So true, nice new uniforms and equipment, my bet is on mercs. Can't wait for the East Ukrainians to catch a few have them ID themselves and then proceed to execute them by firing squad. FU NATO.
<------Mercenaries
<------NATO troops, USA and POLAND
What's the difference, really?
Hope that it is paid Merc's that will die and not someone thinking they are doing something good?
When a mercinary is caught.....T.V. news will not show it.....
Sheeple don't need to know the truth.............
DHS......will make sure of that......Sad that they find people to enforce their wants....:0(
....It's time to rally behind Edwin Starr’s 1969 Anti War Song, “War” "War...Huh...What is it good for?...Absolutely Nothin!...Say it again!...War, Huh, Good G-d Y'all...what is it good for?...Absolutely Nothin!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQHUAJTZqF0
Finally, someone, somewhere is shooting something.
Now I wait for the Russians to return fire.
I saw a You-tube from a woman in Ukraine with family on both sides....she explained both sides are dirty as hell.
So I'm thinking.....ohh.....kinda like in America.
But which team are we barracking for today? I really need to know! The cheer-leaders need to be briefed!!
The brieferer the betterer I say!
At least this explains the dump in the PMs this morning.
If thermonuclear WW3 is on the horizon, they'll probably try to run paper gold down below $1k.
I wouldn't worry about PM's today. That's not the big picture. Watch what happens to markets and the military activity on the ground when Obama lands in China. He will be left speechless in front of his ChiCom financial masters if the Russians do what I think they are about to do:
The Upcoming Russian Invasion of Ukraine and Georgia
About god damn time...

Well... Eveybody Who Is Not A USA Or NATO Enlisted Trooper, Is Now Considered A Terrorist Unless Otherwise Proven...
Interesting, thanks for the link.
I suppose if Russia is going to create a buffer zone to the west it might as well do it in the south with Georgia. NATO will still be sucking their thumbs wondering what happened.
Imagine what would occur if China tried to do that to half of North Vietnam? Such colonialism only ends in bigger and bigger battles and wars because the colonists only understand the word stop and go away when they get totally smashed. If there's no smashing them you get the West Bank style colonial ghetto intrusion by aggressive 'settlers' backed by tanks and 2000 lb bombs. And that simply never stops until they've taken everything. It's a sure-fire recipe for brutal regional ethnic-cleansing that will follow at some point.

“In 2011 Russian Astrologist Pavel Globa Predicted War In 2014 After The Sochi Olympics”

I'm not a fan of "astrologers" who make "predictions" without showing the aspects/reasoning behind their claims. . . just gives folks more reason for *eye roll*.
however, I'm watching the accelerating "signs" unfolding this month/year with interest. last week's "blood moon" was a full moon a few hours after Pluto (death/endings) went retrograde at 13dg Capricorn (rules governments, financial structures); Monday, 21 April, Uranus in Aries (war, sudden change, erratic behaviour) and Pluto had an exact square (5th pass) at 13dg; the next day, Mars (god of war) in Libra (relationships) squared Jupiter in Cancer (inner Self image) at 13dg. . .
squares are 90dg angles, tensions. . . what is of great interest to me is that Putin's sun is at 13dg Libra, and the US sun is 13dg Cancer.
for me, this is how astrology "works" - via the players on the game-board, via individuals - just like "history" plays out over time. . .
note that Putin has more than a few planets in Libra - so this ongoing Cardinal Square is about to light up his life. . . and the US has more than a few planets in Cancer. . . including a retrograde Mercury in the 8th house of secrets, lies, under-handed actions. . .which Putin's Mercury squares (tension) within one degree.
yah, I know, it's all non-sense. . . a buncha numbers and math/geometry. . .but it's rather fascinating to watch. . . like the markets & charts? heh.
It looks like the Ukrainians hired mercs to lead the charge.

When Saddam Hussein attempted to use armour against his own people that was enough reason for Sarkozy to unleash the French Air Force to conduct ground interdiction runs.
Such actions was in complete contravention of the applicable UN Resolution but nobody in the West bated an eyelash and there were no complaints over such unauthorized use of force.
This action in Libya has established a precedent that Putin is free to use in Ukraine to quell the Junta's use of miliatry force against people who refuse to acknowledge an illigitimate governmenent installed by Kerry, Brennan, and Nudelstan.

The first time they sent the Ukrainian army and they refused to follow the orders. Some even left their APC behind them rather than shooting at civilians. So now it looks like the West has organized a mercs army to clean Eastern Ukraine. They really do look different than a few weeks ago. These looks like professional with combat experience.
What you see is what you get with a 17 billion IMF loan and a bunch of non-lethal sleeping bags.
Whoever they are, people there outnumber them a thousand to one. I don't think this is going to go well.
It doesn't matter. Mercenary or not, those attacking forces are being used as pawns to force Russia's hand. The West backed new government has not been given a choice. They must attack to force the Russians into defending their people and interests. Russia will respond too. Prepare for a major false flag once Russia does since everyone knows the Ukrainian forces are going to get squashed.
Unfortunately you are right. The banksters want to demolish and enslave Ukraine and Russia. We can only hope that Putin can get to them first. Get ready for attack on the dollar.
Tyler's Twitter account already reported on it over a week ago, but there are at least Russian Airborne units there. The mercenaries attacking right now might not realize it, but they are in for one hell of a surprise.
NATO and US troops do photo ops.

update or titillate?
flux, this is exactly when they WANT the news turned down. If the media has suddenly fallen asleep over this issue, i would be even more worried with whats to come. To zone the public out of the initial unpleasantries. Think like a neocon warplanner, flux, get with the program!
You know, there's that old saying:
"If you're not a rebel when your 20, you've got no heart. And if you're not corporate by 30, you've got no brain."
I'm with the program now, and looking forward to some nice profits today. But you sound sincere, and I wish you all the best in your rebellion.
Gotta go, breakfast date, and birds are chirping outside my window.
And when you are 70 or 80 you might want to have a clean conscience...
When I'm 70 or 80, I want to be in the hospital looking at the sweet young nurses.
Nobody in their right mind wants to be in a hospital.
There's a complex of hospitals a few blocks from my house. Whenever I drive by I see all the nurses sitting outside smoking. Mostly 250 lbs.+, neck tattoos, chain-smoking single moms.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Nurse training nowadays consists of a first aid class, some reruns of ER, and a few games of Operation.
Curiously . . . Drudge's headline/pic shows O bowing to a robot (is the Queen wearing a costume or something ?)

Ah so your a NATO and O-bomb-a fan?
No, people, I am a Ukrainian, that explains it. If your country is attacked tomorrow, you will have the same sentiment towards the enemy's leader. Peace to all of us.
Um, no you're not.
So what are your feelings about Ukraines sovereignty being first violated by a USA paid for Violent and Armed Coup? Is that not an attack when a democratically elected govt is overthrown? YOu are not Ukrainian, you are a boil on a European ass on the beach in Southern Spain, cooking in the sun, ripe and ready to pop.
IMHO slightly simplistic, admittedly not my region of birth or life, but in my experience elsewhere, it is NEVER that simple; always present are the competing vested interests and I am skeptical that they have ALL been outed, a lot of time preceded the exposed US interferance.
It just seems wierd to me that the US interferance is so "transparent", perhaps I am just paranoid and jaded.
.
It's because they no longer feel it's necessary to keep up appearances. Threats are no longer couched. Any semblance of subtlety has evaporated. Death throes.
No thats not what I am trying to express - though I totally accept the view point.
For example, after reading Dr Coleman (Committee of 300) and a range of his older essays - it actually fits that the USA would be exposed by the USA for its planned demise on economic, social, etc fronts.
I have no issue with 'USA karma' so to speak but his research among other gives the impression this is PLANNED,
and that is never a good thing for the peeps.
+100 UE.
The Dr. Coleman notes are telling indeed. Much evidence exists that says this has all been in the works for some time.
And all roads lead to a Reset.
Well of course it's planned for fuck's sake. They are forcing Russia's hand. If they cared about the people's choices, they would leave Eastern Ukraine alone and allow its people to elect new government under Russian control instead of European. Sure, it's not ideal and I wouldn't support either, but they are Russian people and Eastern Ukraine has Russian interests to protect (nuclear/space missile and attack helicopter factories for example).
Edit: Slovyansk also has factories... No surprise there... Dnipropetrovsk is where the missile factory is too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzhmash Who really thinks the Russians are going to let that go?
If you are curious beyond wiki (?) you might look at Coleman's older mongraphs.
Their info is seriously creepy and shows actual official royal etc memo's and papers.

I wish he was more generous but you have to pay for most.
The Coming Cashless Slave Society: A Product of Mass Mind & Thought Control
was aweful but good to read.
Patrick Wood exposed the Trilateral Commission and Technocracy. On his website augustforecast.com
augustforecast.com he explains we are all being forced into:
A new International Economic Order under Technocracy:
· A controlled society dominated and managed by an elite
· Global banks & multinational corporations are primary actors & planners of economic life
· Continuous surveillance over every citizen
· File containing all personal information for instant retrieval
· Produce volumes of inviolable regulations
· Creates totalitarian control
· Replaces price-based economic system with energy-based system (e.g. Carbon/Energy credits vs cash)
Welcome to a unified theory of the New World Order – a merging of smart grid, smart meter, smart phones, (smart?) vaccines, UN Agenda 21, sustainable development, climate change, carbon “credits”, the emergence of a carbon or energy based digital currency that will be allocated to you by the “elites dictate”.
Too bad your current government took power illegally in a coup when they had a choice for an election held next month. Everyone knows what the result would have been so that couldn't be allowed to happen. Now your country will pay a terrible price.
Shootting starts and PM's go different direction. The world is upside down.
O'Bummer has an excuse now not to retaliate.
O'Bummma is too stupid to think. He is too spineless to be so relentless. He is being told what to do and you guys elected him twice.
The other guy would have done what he was told to do as well. Same as it ever was.
Shooting, the wars or anything else has anything to do at all with betting in the casino.
Remember it is a FIXED casino .... today is monthly expiration day, as many, most observers have noted .... of course, the help was under way from the usual suspects predicting the price to go down.
the commenteters Gartman, Art Cashin at al will say probably the market shrugged the news ... yeah right, until the right people change sides then guess what Ukraine becomes THE CENTER POINT again, and if someone sneazes overthere the Wall Street gets sick .... I will give it until the weekend ... thats when Putin will order the big attack, timed for the market to be closed ... wake up the american bunnies to find everything upside down on monday morning...
The deal was: parliament returns to the previous constitution, Yanukovych signs the law, then we are getting ready for the election. Yanukovych did not sign, he chose to flee the country. Now, the Parliament of Ukraine (a legitimate authority) voted in the new government. As far as most of the world is concerned (except for Russia, North Korea and other fine Zimbabwes of this planet), Ukrainian government is legit. You may have a different opinion, but that is just your opinion.
Before I forget, I would like to see Yanukovych properly impeached (after all, after signing into law all the garbage that was "adopted" by the parliament on January 16, from which point the violence erupted, he has created enough evidence for an impeachment). For now, however, all I can wish for is for Russia to fuck off.
CIA version of events or just your wild imagination. Why were your neo nazi goons keeping East Ukraine MP from entering building for votes and why were they in the voting chambers with clubs. Ah I see its USA democracy in action. Hey goober it shows.
What Yanukovych didn't sign was the EU-association agreement to give away the country's sovereignty to foreigners, which he said was "not in the interest of the Ukrainian people".
What EU-association means for Ukrainians
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_asZiTou_JI
It would have been ugly either way. They are Greece with a pipeline.
They cannot pull an Iceland so they are serfs, destined to be the pawns of the ongoing proxy-war.
Question. If the Parliament of Ukraine is legitimate as you say, why did it have to "voted in the new government"? Is it even constitional for the parliament to simply appoint members to fill empty seats? I thought Ukraine has adopted a democratic system, and it is the people who choose their representatives.
"impeach" sounds so dainty, sort of warm and fuzzy.
"impale however sounds serious and could have a positive influence upon other politicians.
i mean come on, impeach sounds like the daily special at the message parlor, but impaled, with the sharp stake through the ass, as they slowly slide down, screaming for a couple of days, that would send a clear message to corrupt politicians.
you are a maidan nazi supporter so fuck you nazi bitch
and if you really live in ukraine i hope one day real ukrainians will catch your nazi ass and hang it out in the open fuckhead
ooooh and that fucking negro oretard should hang by your nazi ass

To Dog and Truth. Neither of your comments have any merit. In other words, the original comment suggested nothing to merit your response. Nothing about NSA or being an Obama Fan.
However, your comments suggest that you two would prefer one dictator to another. I prefer none. Down with Obama and Putin.
I do not know Obama or Putin. The only thing I know is Obama spending our tax dollars stirring up trouble several thousand miles away at the door step of Russia. So fuck Obama and I hope Putin slap him silly. May be then this stupid asshole will realize we have shit load of trouble here at home in the US need to be solved The average US citizen want to mind their own business. If Obama wants to fight he should send his daugthers.

Congrats! I love the new design 2014 AG Maples with the radial line pattern, just picked up a couple tubes myself! Unfortunately they fell out of my friend's boat yesterday.
I'm confused. When there's trouble usually gold goes up? Or is this just them manipulators again?
Seriously??

Since only 16% of Americans can figure out where Ukraine is... don't get your hopes up.

Don't be too hard on Americans; it's easy to forget about Ukraine, so tiny and tucked away down there below Mexico.
I thought it was by Omaha.
Parts of it will be after Uncle Buffett and friends finish dismantling and pillaging.
Since when did the MIC give a fuck what Americans supported?
Most Americans do not want to get into another war needlessly but most Americans are not in control. The black asshole is. Just because he thinks his grandparents picked cotton against their will does not give him the right to destroy the country.
First, he's not in control. Second, unless Frank Davis is his father, none of his ancestors were slaves - unless in Africa.
Newsflash: He aint in charge either. And neither was the guy before him.
The Eastern Ukrainians should of booby trapped the checkpoints, pulled back and let these Mercs meet their maker via a nice IED
Those boys in that pic moving slowly with their assualt rifles and brand new equipment look just like USA SWAT.
A trusted NATO source of mine...
Russian troops are moving towards the border. They are getting VERY CLOSE to the border, staging, forming up columns all over... NATO don't know if it's a bluff to stop Kiev from doing anti-seperatists operations or they really gonna cross... Moscow are privately fucking pissed at the anti-separatist operation... they even show it a little publicly. My NATO source said the anti-seperatist operation was given the go ahead by Biden, saying they would get US support if Russia invaded... (probably just empty promises)
While there's rumors floating around that those troops have ``PEACEKEEPERS`` banners with them... my NATO source couldn't confirm but says it would make perfect sense.
We shall see in the next few hours...
How can you call them peace keepers when they over threw the elected government? More of our boys will come home and commit suicide? Sad. :0(
When I said peace keepers i was talking about Russian troops... when/if they invade, they will bring in with them peace keepers banners to look legit.
US troops = pipeline puppets
Remember Kosovo and how the Russians rushed in uninvited? It's about to happen again. The problem though is that the West wants it to happen.

Any source is better than a Russian source - a country where the president lies on camera.
Hahah what about the USA where the cameras LIE.
Like I said enjoy your sources goober.
Hey why is it wherever USA diplomats fly to, DEATH soon follows. Oh its for the Children I get it.
no, it is a war. apparently, we are on opposite sides, and each of us trusts his own sources.
No, it's a circus and you can trust no one.

What is wrong with a bit of self determination anyway? If Crimea and Donetsk don't want to be a part of the IMF freak show that is being visited to Kiev, why not just say goodbye and part as friends? It seems the bulk of the bloodshed is being agitated from the US (as usual). Is that what you want in an ally? In the end Kiev will be stripped of workers in an economic diaspora to run German factories. Good luck.

DAX now up the usual 100 points...
The DAX is unstoppable and this while even the Nikkei has stalled out. Europe has to be frontrunning some QE type decision on the way.
The Nikkei didn't get the memo that they should care about AAPL and FB's earnings.
I don't think either one of them will carry the market more than today at most. Granted they seem to find a way to do that every single day. I think Europe is a QE trade. Who knows man.
