It's the same old, same old.

I want to add that a memo was published in a Russian newspaper that revealed a Russian, Putin plan to take over in Eastern Ukraine, possibly all of Ukraine. That may have been associated with the report discussed in the OP. I think the story was posted on DU.

Does anyone else remember this?
