A Night in War-Shattered Lugansk: Russian Soldiers Share Vodka with Western Journalists

Russian troops removed the usual identifying marks from the tanks that invaded and replaced them with identical white circles painted on their turrets, marks that remained visible on one destroyed armored vehicle out on the battlefield, write Reuters reporters Maria Tsvetkova and Aleksandar Vasovic. The reporters also describe finding 124 packs of daily food rations used only by the Russian army, and leftover bottles of water manufactured in Ivanovo, the home province of the 98th Guards Airborne Division, which had joined the battle.

Interesting how much these stories are ignored by RT. I guess they are looking for guidance from Moscow.

They are essentially a political arm of NATO and the deep corporate state.

They were involved in the overthrow.

Take a look at their financial support page:

They look like a source of anywhere near neutral information?
