• I do not buy the propaganda coming out of Kiev that these captured soldiers are part of Russian invasion, military interference into Ukraine war. I seriously doubt Putin is that stupid. Anyone with half an ass for a brain will know that this is not the best way to support Eastern Ukrainian resistance against Kiev.
  –
• The safest method is via private military contractors, mercenaries … to supply and support East Ukraine. These will, of course, be disavowed by the Russian government as private citizens acting on their own free will supporting their friends, relatives in East Ukraine. Plausible deniability is achieved.
  –
• Trust me: when the Russian invasion, military columns … really move in to support East Ukraine, there will be no doubts. It will be an overwhelming attack and no chance in hell the Kiev military will win. It will not be by drips of soldiers who give up and are captured easily!

• Ukraine Releases Video Of Captured Russian Troops; They “Entered Accidentally” Russia Claims As Putin-Poroshenko Meeting Begins! 
  by Tyler Durden, www.zerohedge.com
  … This will be second meeting in the past three months between Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko organized with the mediation of a president a third country. However, official confirmation that a separate meeting between Putin and Poroshenko will take place does not yet exist.

  As noted earlier, the main reason for the recent ramp in futures is because someone activated the de-escalation algo sending futs promptly from overnight lows to highs, on hopes there will be some resolution of Ukraine’s proxy civil war, and maybe a detente between Russia and Europe, where the latter is now on the verge of a triple-dip recession due to “costs” against Russia.
  –
  And yet, a potential complication may arise following the release of a video just hours before the meeting which allegedly shows Russian soldiers who were captured on Ukraine territory on Tuesday, “sharply escalating a dispute over Moscow’s alleged backing for separatist rebels in the east of the former Soviet republic” according to Reuters. Alas, that’s not what the de-escalation algo thinks which is currenly buying up everything in sight, now that Ukraine has cried invading wolf one too many times.
  ….
  Reuters further notes that Russia has always denied assertions by Ukraine, backed by the United States and the European Union, that it has been sending arms and troops across the border to support the pro-Moscow separatists. “Tuesday’s video provided the strongest evidence yet to back up Kiev’s claims of direct Russian military involvement, which Moscow has always disputed. It came a day after Ukraine’s state security service said it had detained 10 Russian paratroopers who had crossed the border in a column of several dozen armed infantry vehicles.”

  In footage posted on the official Facebook page of the Ukrainian government’s “anti-terrorist operation”, the men were shown dressed in camouflage fatigues. One of them, who identified himself as Ivan Milchakov, listed his personal details, including the name of his paratroop regiment, which he said was based in the Russian town of Kostroma.

  “I did not see where we crossed the border. They just told us we were going on a 70 km (45-mile) march over three days,” he said. “Everything is different here, not like they show it on television. We’ve come as cannon fodder,” he said in the video. Another man in the footage, who gave his name as Sergeant Andrei Generalov, said: “Stop sending in our boys. Why? This is not our war.”
  –
  Russian news agencies quoted a defence ministry source as confirming that Russian servicemen had crossed into Ukraine but saying they did so inadvertently.
  –
  “The soldiers really did participate in a patrol of a section of the Russian-Ukrainian border, crossed it by accident on an unmarked section, and as far as we understand showed no resistance to the armed forces of Ukraine when they were detained,” the source said.
