, has nothing about Ukraine today. But it does carry an anti-Russian article on the Opinions page.

I find it interesting that I need to scan the headlines of various periodical to find information on certain topics. My usual sources are:

Wall Street Journal, USA
Daily Telegraph, UK
La Nación , Argentina
Der Spiegel International, German
Sputnik News, Russia
Reuters, International
Washington Times, USA

Ukraine reports heavy tank battle with pro-Russians

Kiev (AFP) - Ukraine on Monday said it had repelled a rare tank assault by pro-Russian rebels that threatened to erase a shacky ceasefire and dangerously escalate the 16-month war in its breakaway east.
Well, I'd say that if the rebel forces launched a heavy tank assault against the Ukraine position, which they were able to repel (probably with a lot of heavy fire), that any cease-fire, by definition is over.

That seems pretty obvious to me.

The cease fire has been violated daily so people were just happy that violence was much less that it was before. But this tank assault seems not to be reported outside Ukraine, except by AFP, so it seems to have been just internal propaganda. The Donbass people say that their positions in this village were attacked by artillery.

Yeah... those are clearly civilians under artillery attack not soldiers trying to move forwards. Keep on spinning.
