This second one is interesting as as far as I know The Ukraine never procured any of this type.

to check on recent Czech survey of Russian military incursions into Ukraine (
... in case you cared, google-translate should work) and yes, it's been in there -- an expert who writes for a major Czech military journal, talks in TV from time to time etc. is behind that "database" and since he covers Information Warfare, too, I expect him to be careful enough not to have fakes included

P.S. In Ukrainian internet, it's easy to find short videos like the one from last month in Lugansk I noticed today:
but I don't look anymore into what particular version of Russian armament they show, or don't show (like Т-72БА in this example), and if it could, or could not, have possibly been taken from Ukraine Military because ... either you believe a KGB Agent, or you don't

From Saker, this much is apparent that Kiev is dragging their feet over pulling back their heavy artillery.

"As of today the situation in the Ukraine is deceptively calm. If the Novorussians have completed the withdrawal of their heavy weapons, the junta forces by all accounts did not: they did withdraw some, but most if it was not so much a case of withdrawal as a case of relocation and even rotation of forces. The OSCE knows about it, but there is nothing which they can do. Furthermore, there has been a flurry of behind the scenes contacts between the Hollande, Merkel, Putin and Poroshenko, and between Kerry and Lavrov but with nothing substantial revealed, at least not to the general public."

Yes Kiev confirmed the railhead at Debaltsevo is functioning again.



Ukrainian media in one line: “Terrorists reconstructed the railway in Debaltsevo”

One should bear in mind that “anti-terrorists” (Ukrainian forces) were the ones that had blown the railway up! This is the most pervert logic the world has ever seen!

“The enemy managed to reconstruct the railway junction in Debaltsevo”, reported the spokesman for the ATO forces Andriy Lysenko. Earlier he said that the area was turned into “Moon surface” and totally devastated.

“The Debaltsevo railway junction is functioning again. On March 3 unloading of shells from railway cars was registered”, said the ATO spokesman.

It should be noted that on February 19 Andriy Lysenko said that the railway was completely destroyed. “Strategically important railway junction Debaltsevo ceased to exist as the most significant in the region hub. The area was turned into Moon surface: everything is ruined there”, said the ATO press-secretary.

Thus, it took the Republican authorities only 12 days to reconstruct the vitally important railway junction.

Russian Federation have 1,000,000 ukrainan soldiers against them selfs.

Maybe Russia will attack with 400,000 russian soldiers vs one million strong Army.

Russia have taken away 450,000 soldiers from reserve last year.

Russian Federation have 2,035,000 soldiers in reserve force today.

I doubt it. Russia is just doing large military exercises near Ukraine's border to gain better political position.
