Well things just got a whole lot worse. Ukraine Says It Attacked Russian Armored Column Near Border VOA News Last updated on: August 15, 2014 12:29 PM The Ukrainian government says its troops have destroyed military vehicles that crossed the border from Russia into eastern Ukraine. The office of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced the news Friday on the presidential website. It said Ukraine destroyed a "significant" portion of the military column. British media had reported early Friday that a large column of Russian armored personnel carriers and other vehicles crossed the border into Ukraine. At a subsequent news conference, NATO leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen confirmed the sighting of "a Russian incursion.” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen speaks during an interview with Reuters at alliance headquarters in Brussels August 11, 2014. "It is a clear demonstration of continued Russian involvement in the destabilization of eastern Ukraine,” NATO's Rasmussen said, according to the news agency AFP. He was speaking from Copenhagen, where he'd met with Denmark's defense minister. Ukraine had reported that a column of armored personnel carriers and trucks had come across the border into its eastern region Thursday, an allegation the Kremlin had denied. Rasmussen said the overnight sighting "just confirms the fact that we see a continued flow of weapons and fighters from Russia into the eastern Ukraine." In a statement Friday, European Union foreign ministers said any unilateral military action by Russia in Ukraine would be considered “a blatant violation of international law,” Reuters reported. The statement by the ministers, meeting in Brussels, said Russia should "put an immediate stop to any form of border hostilities, in particular to the flow of arms, military advisers, and armed personnel into the conflict region, and to withdraw its forces from the border.” read more......................
