The ministry directed a note of protest to Kiev on Friday. There are also reports that there was not one, but two armored vehicles. A source from the FSB told LifeNews Channel that two armored vehicles crossed the Russian border. Initially just one APC entered Russian territory, however it broke down, LifeNews was told.

After that the Ukrainian troops fled the territory, returning to Ukraine, leaving the dsabled vehicle behind in Russia. In response to the incident, the Ukrainian Border Service said that the military was surrounded by self-defense forces so they were forced to cross the Russian border to reach new locations of their units, NTV TV channel reported.

John Dolva Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Kiev does not care about civilians in eastern Ukraine, and people have to flee their homes amid daily bombings, Ukrainian refugees told RT at a temporary camp in Russia’s Rostov. It comes amid Kiev’s “lies” about humanitarian corridors, they said. Thousands of eastern Ukrainians are flowing into Russia amid the ongoing Kiev military operation, in which the cities occupied by anti-government activists are being shelled and bombarded with heavy artillery and incendiary bombs. Even in large regional centers like Lugansk, people no longer feel safe, as cases of Ukrainian jets launching missiles at central city buildings in broad daylight have been reported. While many men and elderly people of eastern Ukraine are unwilling to leave their native land, women with children are flocking to Russia’s cities and regions to stay with relatives or friends. Those who have neither are heading for refugee camps in Rostov.“According to the Federal Migration Service, more than 40,000 Ukrainian citizens have crossed into Rostov Region. As of today, about 4,000 Ukrainians have been housed in temporary accommodation centers,” a local Russian Emergencies Ministry official, Aleksandr Naumov, told RT.

John Dolva Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Never bothered the empire before. They are even black mailing nations in the Americas like El Salvador to force them to accept toxins through a gmo seed deal that leads to the use of agent orange as plants develop resistance to glycophosphate ( Pesticide Use ) and destroys local agriculture while poisoning the local population. This empire is the most criminal element in the world today and needs to be utterly condemned. Unforunately through cultural hegemony and direct and indirect military intervention, quite apart from its über-menchen ideolology, and general support of terrorist regimes like kiev, aided and abetted by its subservient satellite nations, these war crimes will continue, for now. ___________ Saturday, June 1400:57 GMT: Around 30 paratroopers were killed as self-defense forces took down a Ukrainian military Il-76 jet as it was landing in Lugansk, TSN.ua news website reported, citing an army source.
