The Ukraine’s top general contradicting claims that Russia has illegally invaded Ukraine made by the Obama Administration, Nato, and by the Ukrainian Government, saying that their be no Russian troops fighting against the Ukrainian forces in the Donbas and Lugansk area, where the Ukrainian civil war is being fought. The matter of Russian citizens fighting the Ukraine military.

Ukraine Chief of Staff of Armed Forces says “No Russian Troops Are Fighting Against Us”.

Sanctions against Russia based on Falsehoods

Quoting in part:

The Chief of Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, General Viktor Muzhenko, is saying, in that news-report, which is dated on Thursday January 29th, that the only Russian citizens who are fighting in the contested region, are residents in that region, or of Ukraine, and also some Russian citizens (and this does not deny that perhaps some of other countries’ citizens are fighting there, inasmuch as American mercenaries have already been noted to have been participating on the Ukrainian Government’s side), who “are members of illegal armed groups,” meaning fighters who are not paid by any government, but instead are just “individual citizens” (as opposed to foreign-government-paid ones). General Muzhenko also says, emphatically, that the “Ukrainian army is not fighting with the regular units of the Russian army.”
In other words: He is explicitly and clearly denying the very basis for the EU’s sanctions against Russia, and for the U.S.’s sanctions against Russia: all of the sanctions against Russia are based on the falsehood that Ukraine is fighting against “the regular units of the Russian army” — i.e., against the Russian-Government-controlled-and-trained fighting forces.

Then we have the Brookings Insitute urging more direct military assistance, in larger amounts, of lethal 'defensive' arms, so as to defend the Ukraine, and to preserve Ukrainian independence against this Putin manufactured conflict, outlining what the United States and NATO must do.

Brookings Institution Wants More Villages Firebombed in Ukraine’s “Anti Terrorist Operation”

Quoting in small part:

On Monday, February 2nd, Brookings (whose Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack had been among the leaders of the invade-Iraq movement before the 2003 U.S. invasion there on false pretenses) issued a report, “Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do,” and Brookings urged “providing direct military assistance—in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms—so that Ukraine is better able to defend itself. The U.S. government should provide Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance as soon as possible in 2015, followed by additional tranches of $1 billion in FY 2016 and FY 2017.” That euphemism “defensive arms” is for gullible individuals only: guns and tanks obviously fire in both directions, and so do anti-tank weapons etc. — and there was no “Russian Aggression” in Ukraine until the Obama Administration violently overthrew the existing Government there in February of last year. Adolf Hitler claimed to be “defending” Germany when he invaded and took over Poland in 1939, following a “false flag” incident in Poland that could have been a model for Obama’s in Ukraine last year, and the United States is copying not only his PR tactics about it, but the continuing violence afterwards, differing mainly in his using surrogates to do the job, instead of (as Hitler did) claiming the consequences as being his own. (Hitler was able to tell Germans that Poland was threatening Germany, but Obama can’t likewise persuasively say to Americans that Ukraine constitutes a threat to America: Americans aren’t that gullible, and he knows this.) As the following videos of the U.S.-sponsored firebombings — and of regular bombings — of cities and villages in Donbass will make clear, these consequences also compete rather well with Hitler’s in their sheer violence.

I have this feeling of the mercenary tide incoming against the Ukraine soldier to gather emotional support against the Russian citizens who are fighting in the militias of Donbas and Lugansk.
