Ukraine War Update: В Донбассе, могучих Донбасса, лягушка хрипит сегодня

There was a full blown attack with an attempt to breech the Ukrainian defenses at Syze.

There was another battle at Bolotenne where two Ukrainian soldiers were killed.

Maryinka was shelling with mortars and attacked with automatic weapons and small arms.  Optyne was attacked the same way.

In the Mykolayiv region there have been clashes between police, farmers and titushki. 

Negotiations to withdraw tanks and weapons less than 100mm have failed according to multiple sources.

More Russian soldiers showed up in Donetsk.  They were sans weapons though and were taking over some already shipped separately.

 Rumors, a number of Russian troops blooded in the Donbass are now in Syria.  Some of the soldiers have been IDed from pictures taken in the Donbass and ones they are posting from Syria.

Poroshenko is warning that if the ceasefire is breached (seriously breached?), then  self rule for the Donbas will be out and he will not implement Minsk.

Russia is also building a military base on the Ukrainian border at Valuyki.  Supposedly its 300 hectares. 

The DNR has stated 70% of their budget is from the Russian government.

Purgin was released but will not talk bit what happened other than to say it was due to intrigue.
