What about this? Mothers of captured and killed Ukrainian soldiers picket a high ranking Ukrainian army general.

Unlike the Russian army, most of those teenagers who were recently drafted in to the Ukrainian army joined it unwillingly. They were threatened with jail sentences if they refuse to serve in the army.

As far as I can gather - they were the escort of the humanitarian aid convoy. You can hardly call that an invasion force. Roll Eyes

Or did anyone expect that the convoy would have been sent in without cover, when West-Ukrainians make a sport of hunting on civilian buses and cars? Convoy protection is a standard practice in all hot spots.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. More like sending the Ukrainian army on a wild goose chase, forcing them to protect the convoy from rebels who would gladly shoot at it just to give the Russians an excuse to invade.

Putin: "Oh, look. Our humanitarian convoy was attacked by somebody. Time to send more assistance!" Roll Eyes
