Minsk (AFP) - The presidents of Russia and Ukraine hold key talks Tuesday with little hopes for a breakthrough in resolving the raging conflict pitting Kiev against pro-Moscow separatist rebels.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian leader Vladimir Putin arrived in Minsk for a meeting with top EU officials and the leaders of Kazakhstan and Belarus, in a bid to defuse tensions that some fear could trigger all-out war between Kiev and and its Soviet master Moscow.

US National Security Adviser Susan Rice slammed Russia for "military incursions" into Ukraine using artillery, air defence systems, tanks and troops, that she said represented a "significant escalation" in the conflict.

"Repeated Russian incursions into Ukraine unacceptable. Dangerous and inflammatory," she wrote on Twitter.

Kiev's security service said paratroopers from Russia's 98th airborne division were captured about 50 kilometres (30 miles) southeast of the main rebel stronghold of Donetsk.

"We travelled here in columns not along the roads but across the fields," says one of the men who identifies himself as corporal Ivan Milchakov from the 331st parachute regiment based in central Russia.

"I didn't even see when we crossed the border."

Kiev has long accused Moscow of stoking the separatist insurgency raging in its east, but this is the first time Ukrainian authorities have claimed to have captured soldiers from Russia's regular army.

"Officially, they are at exercises in various corners of Russia. In reality, they are participating in military aggression against Ukraine", Defence Minister Valeriy Geletey said on his Facebook page.

Sounds to me like another one of those self righteous religious freaks whose goal is trying to change China into a certain religion all because they hated the government.

That's pretty harsh Equation. I believe Jesus is Lord and I'm no freak. You certainly aree entetled to your opinion.

The Bible teaches Christians..

8 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[a] I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


Jesus was speaking to all who believe when he made this statement.. not just Peter.

About pastors ,ministers and elders of the church the Bible states;

Titus 1:6-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

6 An elder(pastor & mininsters) must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being wild or rebellious. 7 An elder is a manager of God’s household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker,violent, or dishonest with money.

8 Rather, he must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must love what is good. He must live wisely and be just. He must live a devout and disciplined life. 9 He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong.

The man is doing what he should..

To the contrary, when reading the article, he sounds like a fairly upstanding citizen of China who has objected to government activities regarding Christian churches in the region, including the removal of a cross.

He spoke out against it, and arranged protests...so he was arrested and detained.

As I said before, true Christians do not believe in forcing others to become Christian. Such behavior would be incompatible with Christ's teachings and would not produce true, heart felt Christians at any rate.

But they do believe in sharing their message with others with love and reason, so others can decide for themselves.

In nations where that very act is either illegal, or viewed badly, they run up against persecution, mistreatment, arrest, and imprisonment for doing so.

It sounds more like that is what is happening to me.

There was a popular quip among Chinese netizens that 'China is still gonna get shot even when it is lying down and being still.'

Wow, that is just a new low, blaming China for racial tensions in the US.

The irony is this writer is most likely in the camp of those who criticize the poor who complain for not having self-responsibility. Like the decision to outsource jobs by American corporations and not China.

It makes me angry when I hear on the news the underhanded blame being put on China for the outsourcing of jobs in the US. US corporations are part of the blame for wanting to get the lowest price labor they can get and still get good quality goods. The other is the American labor unions trying to squeeze management for every penny they can. These two factors have cost the US an untold number of jobs.

It's called greed.
