The Hasty Withdrawal of Russian Special Forces from Luhansk Linked to the Threat of Rebellion...Well I would expect them to get out, because there is no way Russia will risk the chance for a Spetnaz Brigade to be found on Ukrainian territory. Seems like Russia is a bit nervous with the capture of those two soldiers..

The Hasty Withdrawal of Russian Special Forces from Luhansk Linked to the Threat of Rebellion, According to the Source Close to the 3rd Spetsnaz Brigade


New details about the hurried withdrawal of Russian Special Forces troops from the 3rd Guards Spetsnaz Brigade, military unit 21208 from Tolyatti, became available from the Ukrainian counter-espionage office, and information leaked in specialized forums.


After the capture on May 16, 2015, in Luhansk Oblast of two Russian Spetsnaz troops, Captain Erofeev and Sergeant Aleksandrov, their unit was immediately withdrawn from a temporary base in occupied territory and hastily transferred from Millerovo airfield in Rostov Oblast to their home base in the Russian city of Tolyatti.

Previously, it was assumed that such a hasty withdrawal happened because of the disclosure of information on the size, location, and mission of the Russian reconnaissance unit, but the real reasons were much more serious. A former serviceman of the 3rd Spetsnaz Brigade, close to military personnel of the brigade, told the story on condition of anonymity.

After detailed analysis and verification of the information, we decided to make it public.


An interesting read to say the least.

The individuals reading this will need to decide for themselves the accuracy of the information contained.

I am leaning towards it being accurate based on this -

A wave of discontent and indignation arose among enlisted personnel and junior commissioned officers due to the fact that the State, in particular, the command of the Defense Ministry, gave up on their comrades. The greatest outrage was provoked by a statement that the captured in Ukraine servicemen were supposedly discharged before their assignment, and a campaign to discredit them by the Russian government began, involving members of their families.


When the government gives up on the soldiers it ordered into the mission and then tries to discredit them and deny they had anything to do with them is a powerful incentive to be pissed and want to take an action to protect their comrades who were left behind and forgotten by the Russian government.

I think the longer this goes on the more issues Putin is going to have trying to convince everyone they aren't in Ukraine. The fact Putin is now disowning the very soldiers he sent into Ukraine could be Putin's downfall on the home front.

It's getting harder every day to deny the fact they are there.

What are you know more evidence. I'm beginning to find it amusing that Putin actually thinks we believe him. When you think about how much money Putin is wasting lying the Russian public should be outraged.

No, no. He specifically stated:

Not to be persuaded of course by:

Source about us:




The team is committed to fighting for the freedom of Ukraine from the aggression of the Russian Federation in its attempt to break up and dominate Ukraine. Ukraine will choose its own course in history. There are many websites publishing on the situation of Ukraine. We don’t wish to duplicate this work, and we cannot cover everything. Therefore our focus is clearly on the military situation, although we must reflect how the military intertwines with the social, economic and political aspects. 


I'm sure they intend to be objective with their bias.

Not bias.. My personal opinion based on the article as well as previous incidents when Russian forces were caught in Ukraine - both Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

I specifically stated people need to make up their own minds and I specifically stated why I felt the info had something to it other than possible propaganda coming from the Ukraine side.

We have been hearing reports recently about Russian soldiers refusing to deploy to Ukraine and we have family members of dead Russian soldiers being paid off to keep their silence about where their family members died at (inside Ukraine). Special forces, in my opinion, are going to be more "loyal" (so to speak) when it comes to each other. They make it a habit of not leaving anyone behind.

If they were forced to leave behind 2 of their own, only to see those 2 individuals cut loose by the Russian government, it could have opened up a can of worms Russia is not going to be able to deal with IE keeping the information quiet.


Putin already played the "uhhmm, errrhm... They got lost" card. It wont work this go around.
He also played the they are not active duty military card and that's not going to work anymore either.

Bellingcat - Three Graves: Russian Investigation Team Uncovers Spetsnaz Brigade in Ukraine


The following post originally appeared on the LiveJournal of Ruslan Leviev, found in the original Russian here. The translation has been provided by Kirill Mikhailov, as found on his website here. Ruslan Leviev’s investigation team is not a part of Bellingcat, but its findings are in line with many of Bellingcat’s published and ongoing investigative reports of direct Russian involvement in eastern Ukraine.

This investigation was prompted by a post found on Russian social network Vkontakte on the death of a certain Anton who died “fighting for the Motherland” (original post | saved copy):

The "topic" you post in your OP has no value because it is nothing more than a carbon copy of your own opinion.

I think that it is an honest question to ask. Are you in any way connected to the publication of this blog?

No I am not..

I stated readers would need to make up their own mind. I also posted a Bellingcat article discussing Spetnaz actions in Ukraine.


Are you guys so incapable of discussing the topic in an intelligent manner than you resort to attacking the person who posted it? If its wrong then surely you guys would have no issues refuting the information presented right?

Now - engage the topic and not me personally.

I think they are referring to the possibility that they were able to identify the specific Russian Spetnaz unit in question, which would be new information from the original statement, which just stated they caught active duty Russian special forces operating in Ukraine.

Russia claimed they were no longer active members, which apparently appears to be an inaccurate statement with the new info about the specific unit in question.

Western sanctions cost Russia $160 billion

Western sanctions cost Russia $160 bn 


Western sanctions cost Russia $160 bn

Russian President Vladimir Putin said here on Monday that Western sanctions targeted at Russia had cost his country an estimated $160 billion.
Despite the fall in global oil prices from $100 to $50 per barrel and the efforts of Russia's European "quasi- partners" to restrict the availability of financial services for Russian banks, Russian firms were nevertheless well placed to repay outstanding debts, said Putin at a meeting of legislators here in the country's northern capital.
"Someone was seemingly counting on a collapse," Putin said of external attempts to weaken his country. "But no collapse has happened. In fact, the Russian economy has overcome these artificial barriers relatively easily," Xinhua quoted the Russian president as saying.
Putin also admitted that internal as well as external factors had contributed to the country's recent economic downturn, citing in particular the effect of disproportionate wage rises relative to productivity gains.
Falling commodity prices had also affected the Russian ruble as the Russian Central Bank was forced to move to a floating exchange rate. "This did indeed lead to a devaluation of our currency, but it was the only economically feasible way to deal with the situation," Putin added.

Scadlous Hillary Clinton Foundation Scamming Schemes Dont Vote Democrat ...

New white Rapper, Twin-c Vanilla Spilla Exploding The Clinton

Foundation, which
may well be the 
biggest 
cash laundering scam 
in 
history. Bernie 
Maddoff 
move over. And Enron? 
Small potatoes. You 
can't 
hold a candle to the 
Clinton "cash for 
favors" 
steamroller.

Get this. Russia owed 
some of the richest 
uranium mines in the 
world in Kazakhstan 
but 
wanted more and they 
set 
their sights on a North 
American uranium 
mining 
company by the name 
of 
Uranium One.

But they had one small 
problem on making 
that 
acquisition. Uranium is 
classified as a strategic 
asset to national 
security 
so it wasn't easy to get 
past the watch dogs in 
the 
U.S. State Department 
to 
buy out Uranium One.

So, how on earth could 
they somehow pull off 
the 
purchase without 
raising 
enough red flags to 
trigger 
a world war? Simple. 
They 
called the Clintons. 
You 
see, Bill Clinton had an 
'in' with the sitting the 
head of the United 
States 
State Department. Her 
name was Hillary 
Clinton. 
And as unbelievable 
and 
unpatriotic as it 
sounds, 
Hillary agreed to look 
the 
other way and allow 
the 
Russians to buy the 
uranium company. 

Hold on. You can't tell 
me 
Hillary would simply 
allow 
Uranium One to 
sellout to 
the Russians without a 
fight, can you? Oh, 
there 
was a fight, a quiet 
one, 
the fight over whether 
Hillary and Bill Clinton 
would accept a $1 
million 
or $2 million donation 
from the family 
foundation of the 
chairman of Uranium 
One 
to the family 
foundation 
of Bill and Hillary 
Clinton. 
After a bit of 
backroom 
wheeling and dealing 
they 
settled on a $2.35 
million 
donation to The 
Clinton 
Foundation. No State 
Department 
investigation? 
No problem. Nice and 
tidy. 

That little Clinton 
maneuver resulted in 
the 
Russians controlling 
one 
fifth of all the uranium 
production in the 
world. 
So, Iran and the United 
States can now get in a 
bidding war over who 
can 
pay the Russians the 
most 
money for uranium. 

But that is just the tip 
of 
the iceberg on the 
$250 
million in known 
assets in 
the Clinton 
Foundation. 
The majority of that 
known cash was 
donated 
by foreign countries. 
Notice how I say, 
known 
cash? Who knows how 
much undisclosed cash 
was passed through to 
the 
Clintons. So is it any 
wonder that Hillary 
Clinton doesn't seem 
to 
give a rip about 
campaigning or public 
opinion? Her campaign 
has already projected 
spending $2.5 BILLION 
in 
cash in Hillary's 2016 
Presidential campaign, 
well over double the 
past 
record spending in any 
other Presidential race 
in 
U.S. history. 

And which of the 
America's watchdog 
news 
networks do you 
suppose 
wants to be first in line 
to 
expose Hillary's 
unspeakable conflict of 
interests? Come on! 
They 
are on the gravy train 
more than anyone. Can 
you say, "The biggest 
amount of ad 
purchases 
made by a Presidential 
candidate in U.S. 
history?"

And we thought Barack 
Obama was bad for 
bowing to the king of 
Saudi Arabia who 
many 
believe bought and 
paid 
for Obama fair and 
square. 
But Hillary? With all 
the 
foreign money flowing 
indirectly into her 
campaign war chest, 
her 
Presidency might as 
well 
be owned by The 
United 
Nations. 

Perhaps this is what 
Hillary meant when 
she 
said it takes a village.

Please send a link of 
this 
video to anyone you 
know 
who still gives a rip 
about 
maintaining our 
current 
constitutional republic.
