Upon occupying Ukrainian town of Novoazovsk in Donbass Oblast Russian troops wasted no time and distributed printed instructions among the populace. According to RNBO‘s spokesperson Andriy Lysenko, these materials instruct the locals how they should behave from now on.

Here is what your life should look like if you happened to be in “liberated” territory:

1. Under no circumstances you should obstruct the free movement of Russian troops (vehicles and staff).

2. Show your friendly intent to Russian troops. Show them how happy you are to see them. Remember, they are here to liberate you from terrorists serving in illegal Ukrainian army.

3. In liberated territory, communicate in Russian only, so that Russian peacekeepers would not misunderstand your intentions.

4. Prepare the lists of persons serving in Ukrainian army, participants of Maidan, activists of civil rights groups and leaders of ethnic minority groups and give these lists to the FSB (modern Russian KGB) during the peacekeeping operations.

5. Be ready to vacate your appartments and other living quarters to provide living space for the Russian Army members.

6. Follow the curfew and inform local military police of Russian Federation about those, who break the curfew.

7. Citizens helping to locate and capture Ukrainian terrorists will be allowed extra rations and privileges.

8. Believe: the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation guarantees your safety. No one will be shot for nothing.

Russian Psychopath MP Zhirinovky’s comment about Nuking Poland, Baltics

Not long ago, Vladimir Zhirinovsky — the Russian member of parliament and court jester who sometimes says things that those in power cannot — argued on television that Russia should use nuclear weapons to bomb Poland and the Baltic countries — “dwarf states,” he called them.

The Abandoned Donbas Battalion

When the Donbas Battalion stormed Russian separatist-held Ilovaisk on Aug. 18 and raised the Ukrainian flag without a single casualty, the Ukrainian media quickly reported a victory for the country’s anti-terrorism operation against Kremlin-backed insurgents.

The Interior Ministry announced that four volunteer battalions along with the regular army were clearing Ilovaisk, a city of 17,000 residents southeast of Donetsk, of Russian-backed forces, and promised that more back-up from the National Guard was on its way.

That version has turned out to be mostly spin that is likely to rebound on its state and media creators.

A week later, 10 men from the Donbas Battalion have been lost and more than 20 injured through what could be incompetence of the army command or even deliberate abandonment. Stranded as they struggle to keep control of city, the Donbas volunteers are reinforced by just one company from the army’s 93rd brigade and some fighters from the volunteer Dnipro Battalion.

Both Donbas fighters and three Ukrainian photographers embedded with them are enraged with what they call the lies and prevarications of both government and Ukrainian media, and want to put across their side of the story.

“It’s an absolutely shameful situation,” said Alexander Glyadelov, who was evacuated from Ilovaisk on Aug. 21 with a shrapnel injury.

An experienced and respected photographer, Glyadelov has covered many wars, including the Moldovan Transdnistria and Russian Chechen conflicts. Exasperated with the heavily restricted access to the front granted by the Ukrainian government’s press service, he joined the Donbas Battalion to see what was really going on.

He found that while volunteers motivated by principle and with a high fighting spirit are stranded in desperate circumstances, government and media claim the situation is under control and reinforcements are on their way. “They are frightened of the truth,” he said. “First, they need to actually provide the help they keep promising. And second, they need to stop lying.”

Famous Kremlin Troll Graham Phillips was already a Fraudster before Ukraine conflict

Apparently, the identity “Graham Phillips” was a sock puppet on wikipedia. Ie – an identity that many different people could assume.
