It must feel really annoying when you try your hardest to blame it on Russia, but you just can't defeat the logic and stop the truth from coming out.
It really is amazing how those 3-4 members are always posting in these kind of threads with same old "arguments".
Do you guys ever take a break or is this your job? Just curious.
Again unconfirmed reports are not propaganda...
The fact is that Putin is bent on driving Russia into the dirt. Economic sanctions will continue until he stops meddling and accepts that Ukraine don't want to be Russia's poor cousin anymore.

I think you are overstating the power of the sanctions. Russia have already made it clear that it intends to move away from western influence and push BRICS instead instead of Petrodollar.

I think you are overstating the power of the BRICS. The EU and the US account for 34 trillion GDP whereas the BRICS account for around 15 trillion, of which 9 trillion is China. The market for Russian gas is the EU - it is convenient. Brazil is far away and out of sight. Russia's economy is gas dependent and only about the size of Italy's.

MESSAGE TO GUARDIAN.....Please substantiate you reporting with some evidence such as photos, vidios, satellite imagery. There is an overabundance of those methods out there so please use them. Enough roomer mongering about mysterious tank columns going back and fourth, special forces raids, Russian submarines of the coast of Sweden with mysterious voices calling for help. We need to be informed not entertained when "news" is the subject.
An article about an invisible army/tanks/guns written by unnamed writers from unidentified "agencies." Smells like fiction written by the CIA. They are an "agency" after all.
and everyone with a different opinion is conveniently dismissed as a "Putinbot" - nothing says healthy discussion like reducionism...cough cough cough...
So the EU declares the recent elections illegal in Eastern Ukraine illegal? What, didn't like the result? Until the EU can hold democratic elections they have no credibility on elections whatsoever and should mind their own business and fix their own catastrophe which is Western Europe unemployment.
Apparently Putin is busy rewriting history as he conveniently ignores the secret protocols in that USSR-NAZI
, you would find quite a lot of confirmed reporting on Ukraine by the BBC, with photos and footage,
"unconfirmed" reports and then going off on tangent as to how bad they are at reporting because it's "unconfirmed", is acting like you are going out of your way to find complaint.
I don`t think Russia is that interested in going deeper inside the Ukraine. But strategically it also could be wise to take them out, but the aftermath is where the problems lie for Russia.
