That was the claim that caused the market to sell off. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101906428?trknav=homestack:topnews:1 But is it credible? I have not seen any pictures. I am hesitant to call BS on it without proof either way, but it strikes me as madness for Ukraine to attack Russian forces. In addition, I have grave doubts the Russians would allow an armored column to be destroyed without doing something about it. I have to wonder if there isnpt possibly some sort of conspiracy between some fund managers and corrupt Ukraine pols. Start a bogus story on a sleepy August friday to spook the markets. Meanwhile Russia is sending a humanitarian convoy into Ukraine, which puts the UN in an awkward spot. Clearly there is desperate need in these areas, as Ukraine is trying to starve them into submission. But allowing a Russian presence also legitimizes Russia's involvement and creates a hazard that any miscalculation by Ukraine could create an incident justifying Russian military involvement. Lucky for us we have a steady hand at the tiller with Obama and the much respected John Kerry.

"Last night we saw a Russian incursion, a crossing of the Ukrainian border," he told reporters after meeting the Danish defence minister. "It just confirms the fact that we see a continuous flow of weapons and fighters from Russia into eastern Ukraine and it is a clear demonstration of continued Russian involvement in the destabilisation of eastern Ukraine," the Danish NATO chief said. Earlier, British reporters said they had seen Russian military vehicles crossing into Ukraine. (Reporting by Teis Jensen; writing by Sabina Zawadzki; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
NATO is 80% United States Army, NATO funding is largely US debt funding. I don't trust NATO people, just like I don't trust US government. For all I know this whole thing is staged to prevent Russian 250-300 trucks of food from entering Eastern Ukraine Maybe russians will stop supporting east, when US stops supporting new nazi government in the west Even Mainstream Media has reported on NeoNazis in new government in Kiev
