Ukraine Bites Back

The counter offensive by the Ukrainians has begun.  

The Karamatorsk airport has been retaken.  Easily even.  An Ukrainian general came out to state he was there to protect the locals and no harm would come to them.  That didn't go so well and he was roughed up.

Slavyansk has reported they are surrounded.  There are some reports the troops have entered or will be entering shortly.

The US reiterated they are considering offering weapons.  There are now calls for the US to send troops.  The American public is not very enthusiastic, however.

There is a rumor the Russians ordered a pullback of their special forces within Ukraine.  It might be to avoid capture.  Or it might be a hope there will be a blood bath somewhere.

The EU is preparing more sanctions.  The US is as well.  (C'mon...173/2/12!)

We shall see what the consequences are.  Russia threatened to use force if Ukraine did.  Well...
