(725 posts)and city streets in Kiev as recently as August. They controlled a hotel, convention center and even commandeered a privately owned restaurant. They had to be dragged out and their camps town down in order for the Kiev military parade to be held on independence day.
I have followed this war very closely and while the resistance has always been vastly outnumbered and under supplied, Kiev was never going to stop it. These people's fathers, grandfathers and uncles fought Hitler and are not going to be subjugated by a fascist puppet regime now. Perhaps that's why Tymoshenko said they should be nuked.
So what that they've received assistance through Russian channels? They've not received near enough, imo. Ukrainian fascists have and are receiving aid from the west, including the CIA camped out in Kiev, the California National Guard, mercenaries and anything else the neocons can arrange. I realize you would like see these people crushed but there are other people who wish the opposite so, hopefully, assistance and volunteers keep on coming
And, btw, the militia, being much more motivated, as people will be when defending their lives, families and land, have done a brilliant job at capturing Ukrainian military hardware. The civilians have pitched in, too, stealing a UA tank, in Maripupol, and handing it over to militia.
