4:55 p.m. Some 100 separatists are heading toward the Donetsk Airport carrying flags of the so-called Donetsk Republic, reports Novosti Donbassa, a local news outlet. In addition vehicles are circling the airport with St. George ribbons. Their numbers are growing, and they are nearing the airport. – Mark Rachkevych

Its the main Donetsk city airport.

Note, its the main city airport, not the previous airfield they captured.

Asen,

I dont know any personally and I doubt there exists as airports are generally sensitive facilities.
But if I find any, I will put it up here.

Has something happened to the Espresso TV feed?




Totally different set, and seems to have an overdub of this particular segment?

Normal? Or has this been compromised?

If its broadcast in Ukraine I saw a twitter blurb about one of the tv stations being taken and stopping broadcasts.

did some keyboard sleuthing..

Seems that the station is based in Kiev, so it most likely was just a special news magazine segment, it appears to be back to what I recognize as normal.

Threw me for a loop to see a different set, and not be bombarded by the laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, throat lozenge, and those ads for some pill.. "oh ho nee beel" commercials

I was not aware a sovereign nation could not close its borders... It must apply to everyone except Russia.

Russian Foreign Ministry demanded clarification after Kiev said it would impose restrictions on entry into the country by Russians (Reuters)

When Putin admits the little green men in Crimea were in fact Russian soldiers, what the hell would he expect? Why should Russia care if they don't have anyone inside Ukraine?

Just a matter of time before we start to see serious casualties , these Russian separatists are really pushing their luck, though any action by the Ukraine govt. will just support their cause and add weight to Russia's position

UN should step in and offer a referendum to each provence to avoid what is becoming a civil war
