Oh my God. Deserters from the Ukrainian army not wanting to fight the largest military country in Europe, Russia.
Ukraine admit that. Russia however doesn't admit that Russian soldiers are deserting from Ukraine!

Alexander Podrabinek has called Sputnik a tool of Russian state propaganda distribution abroad and has likened it to a pro-Putin version of the Daily Mail and described it as "anti-Western:)

Makes one wonder why the US continues to make those accusations without providing the proof...

Putin doesn't accept evidences that has not been signed by the prepetator and agreed and signed by Putin himself.
NATO satellite photographs are not enough.

And the US. Have I missed something?
That French President Francois Hollande says something stupid is however not surprising.

Ukraine has a lot of problem with their economy to say the least.
Both by corruption and a costly war against Russia.
Are you surprised?

At least you gave a very good link to Hromadske.TV.
Anastasia Stanko, one of the founders of Hromadske TV, were taken hostage by the Luhansk People's Republic together with her cameraman.

On June 14, 2014 at around 12:30 pm she was detained for four hours by the Russian Border Troops when she accidentally crossed the Russia-Ukraine border in town of Milove, Luhansk Oblast (Ukraine).[2] After her detention, Stanko was handed over to the Ukrainian authorities with the request to pay a fine of 3,000 rubles and delete any photo and video materials.[3] On June 16, 2014 "Stop censorship" organized a press-conference in Kharkiv to which was invited Anastasia Stanko to share her experience.[3] In her interview to ATN television broadcasting company she stated that there is no any border identification between Ukraine and Russia.[3]

On June 30, 2014 Anastasia Stanko along with Illya Bezkorovainy near Stanytsia Luhanska were taken hostage by the Luhansk People's Republic, while performing their professional duties.[4] They were placed in a basement of one of building in the center of Luhansk city.[4] While being kidnapped Stanko absolutely refused to give any interview to Russian journalists, particularly from LifeNews. On July 2, 2014 she was supposedly released from kidnapping.

In her interview to Podrobnosti on July 6, 2014 Stanko claimed that she was kept by same people who were keeping Nadiya Savchenko.

Nadiya Savchenko, a Ukrainian military pilot and former officer (first lieutenant) of the Ukrainian army, is STILL in prison in Moskow.

Today is 27.1.2015 exactly one year when Russia started the invasion of Ukriane.
"Nazi", "Little Green Men", "Ceasefire", "Humanitarian Aid", "Separatist", "Coup". Just some of the terms with new meanings after 27.1.2014

The Russian "troop withdrawal" is rather an impressive show of what Putin put into Ukraine than anything else.
I forgot Russia, who doesn't know how to read maps.

From now on, February 27th will be known as Special Forces Day, according to a decree signed by President Putin

The drummer of the Russian rock “Коррозия металла”, Andrey Martynenkov, was forced into Ukrainian military service and to serve in a musical platoon of the Ukrainian voluntary Azov Battalion:)
The leader of the band, Sergey TroitskiyTroitskiy elaborated: “[Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen] Avakov plans to organize a grandiose psychological attack, as it was in the movie “Чапаев” [“Chapayev”]. For this purpose they will use the 666 of war elephants and giraffes, which will move a huge avalanche towards DPR – LPR. They will be accompanied by armoured vehicles, tanks, and catapults from Maidan… and huge bass drums will be installed on the top of elephants. Drummers will beat these…”

That's not right. It's not the tanks nor the heavy armor. BMD-1 and BMD-2 is the "Airborne Combat Vehicle". BTW, Ukraine also has this machines and can deploy it by air.

LOL. BMD-1 and BMD-2 are still in use today, as the BMD-3 and BMD-4 also. And BMD-4 is not the tank, it's the light-armored (armor against bullets only) vehicle, the special sort of the IFV, alike an other BMDs.
