Hahaha,you found a glock and then say "Nato is sending weapons in Ukraine bla bla bla",but unlike Russia,we do not send howitzers,tanks etc.
Quite a few NATO states who were former Warsaw Pact have been selling their old Soviet era stocks to Ukraine, you can't just give NATO only equipment when the Ukrainians don't have the logistics to adequately support their equipment, but if you weren't missing a few chromosomes you could probably understand the most elementary of military concepts.

Ukraine’s currency just collapsed 50 percent in two days
By Matt O'Brien February 6
Ukraine, to use a technical term, is broke. That's what you call a country whose currency has lost half its value in just two days.
The problem is simple: Ukraine has no money and barely any economy. It's already talking to the IMF about a $15 billion bailout and what's euphemistically being called a debt "restructuring"—i.e., default—as its reserves have dwindled down to $6.42 billion, only enough to cover five weeks of imports. (Three months worth is considered the absolute least you can get by with).
So it was more than a bit belated for Ukraine to stop spending the few dollars it does have on propping up its currency, the hryvnia. It took until Thursday for it to do that, though, and, when it did, the reaction was swift and it was violent. The hyrvnia fell from 16.8 to 24.4 per dollar, and then again to 25.3 on Friday, on the news that the government wouldn't intervene it in anymore. In all, it was a 50 percent decline in 48 hours. And this was despite the fact that its central bank simultaneously jacked up interest rates from 14 to 19.5 percent to try to get people to hold their money in hyrvinia that would pay them a lot instead of dollars that wouldn't. That, as you can see, didn't exactly work.
Now let's back up a minute. Why is Ukraine so doomed? Well, it's been mismanaged on a world-historical scale by oligarchs who, for decades, have skimmed billions off the country's nonexistent growth. That last part's not hyperbole. It seems almost impossible, but Ukraine's economy has actually shrunk since communism ended in 1991. Or since 1992. Or even 1993. And now its not-so-cold war with Russia is destroying the little that's left. It's not just that the rebel strongholds in the factory-heavy east have deprived Ukraine of a quarter of its industrial capacity. It's that it can't afford to fight against what's still it's biggest trading partner—Russia. Think about that. You don't usually trade a lot with the country you're going to battle against, but Ukraine's economy is so dependent on Russia's that it still trades more with it than any other country. That means anything that hurts Russia, like lower oil prices or sanctions, just redounds onto Ukraine, and puts it in an even bigger financial hole.
Ukraine, in other words, doesn't have a lot of foreign currency, and doesn't have a lot of ways to earn more of it. Not when it didn't have much of an economy to begin with, it's fighting its biggest trading partner, and separatists have taken away its industrial heartland. The only questions are how big the bailout will be, and how far the hrvynia will fall in the meantime.
Ukraine's currency is weak, and that's not a game.
‘Official figures not credible’: German intel say Ukraine death toll 10 times higher
The German intelligence service estimates the real losses in the Ukrainian civil war at 50,000 dead (civilians and servicemen), which is nearly 10 times higher than reported by the Kiev authorities, German media report.
The information comes from a source in German intelligence, who spoke to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAZ) newspaper.
“Germany’s special services estimate the probable number of deceased Ukrainian servicemen and civilians at up to 50,000 people. This figure is about 10 times higher than official data. Official figures are clearly too low and not credible,” the newspaper reported on Sunday, citing its source.
Just one day before the report was published, the Ukrainian president gave completely different numbers to the international community.
“The death toll for the Ukrainian soldiers defending land from the aggressor is now 1,432. Thousands of people, 5,638, have been killed since April [2014] and every single day the number of victims among the civilians is rising,” Petro Poroshenko said in his address to the 51st Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
The Ukrainian army is reported to be suffering its heaviest losses since the beginning of the conflict last spring. According to the Donetsk militia representative, Eduard Basurin, the Ukrainian army has lost 1,569 servicemen in just three weeks since restarting the offensive.
The situation on the battlefield is dire for the Ukrainian forces. Some 8,000 Ukrainian troops are believed to be surrounded near the village of Debaltsevo in Donbass. Militia units cut off the only road linking this pocket of land to Kiev-controlled territory.
Taking into account these heavy losses, Ukraine is set to call up as many military age Ukrainians as possible. The national military draft for 2015 is expected to see 100,000 people joining the army in three stages throughout the year.
The recruitment effort, coming amid intensified fighting in eastern Ukraine, is being met by a distinct lack of enthusiasm by potential soldiers.

Russian soldiers cannot use their passports while on active service – they must hand them in. Everybody who has ever lived in Russia knows this. Indeed, even contract soldiers are forced to hand in theirs while on army business and, like the troops, they get a replacement military ID. This is why Sochi’s bars are crawling with off-duty Russian military – they can’t go abroad without their travel documents.

Please, put the crack pipe down before it is too late!

If Russian soliders want to go to Ukraine to fight the fascists, why would they need their passports. I don't think they would worry much about customs.

yep.. they need the passports to enter through the border checkpoints ..
I think it still was a good stunt by Poroshenko.. thruth is not important.. but good propaganda is what counts.
Ironically he about rebels receiving help from Russia but Russian regular army is not..but formers soldiers/veterans
of chechen or afgan war. They can be as lethal if not more than regular army soldiers.. in some case..
Like Motorola and givi ,they have been in no less than 3 wars.. chechenia ,yugoeslavia apparently and Georgia..
so their knowledge and trust in their capabilities is worth of gold.
ABout ukraine 5$ billions ,5 week reservers
thats totally insane.. No wonder Poroshenko is now agreeing with a cease of fire.. if they are in the middle
of war.. they will not get a loan .. In my opinion , The Europeans should delay any help to Ukraine and wait
its economy to default officially.. that way no longer the ukraine army will be paid anything and they will be
FORCED to stop fighting and negotiate with the Rebels.. the last report i saw.. was about kiev looking to take
people savings from banks.. ala CYPRUS.. that is steal people savings from banks to pay their debts.. they are
really insane.. and reports like that will create panic in the population more than any Russian army invasion..
and will start to widraw their money and try to change it in euros as soon as possible and flee the country.

That is embarrassing.
Bessarabian rebels take Ukrainian patrol hostage and burn call-up papers in the village square
By Sergey Ilchenko, Svpressa.ru, Feb. 1, 2015, translated from the original Russian by Kristina Rus and published on Fort Russ website
Call-up papers burned and Ukrainian patrols blocked in Odessa region
Events in the Reni district (Budjak region) of Odessa region in Ukraine are characteristic of the “fourth wave” of mobilization in the South of Ukraine. People in the old fishing village of Limanskoe have rebelled. Hundreds of residents captured an armed group of military representatives and publicly burned all the call up papers in the village square.
Reni is the extreme southwestern point of Ukraine. Located on the left Bank of the Danube, the district borders Romania and Moldova. Once upon a time, it was a major port and rail junction and agriculture and fishing farms flourished. Now, only “independent” ashes remain of the local economy. People earn a living by poaching and smuggling across the Danube. Such business forms bold and decisive characters. Every other household has a weapon, and old people tell legends about heroic robberies of Grigory Kotovsky.
Limanskoe is the former Romanian village Frikarsei. Most locals are Moldovan, Gagauz and Russian. They are openly hostile to the Ukrainian junta and completely refuse to go to war. The mood is typical, however there is one characteristic. The called-up men could easily cross the border and hide in the swamps of the Danube. But they decided to stay home and throw out the Ukrainian military.
Military Commissar of the district Igor Skrypnik knew very well about the attitude of the civilian population of the county towards mobilization. So before a trip to Limanskoe to issue mobilization orders, he requested armed security. A group of Commisar employees was reinforced with Odessa punisher-nazguardians.
That produced the opposite result: when people in camouflage with guns appeared in the village, this caused an outburst of spontaneous protest,” said acting chairman of the State Administration Sergey Barimov.
“About two hundred inhabitants of Limanskoe surrounded the representatives of the military and the guard armed with machine guns. I immediately informed the governor Igor Palitsa of the unfolding emergency in Limanskoe. I reported because I know the mentality of this village: the incident could have ended tragically!”
The head of the district is right – the commissar’s reps and the nazguardians were disarmed, the crowd was seriously going to deal with them. At the same time, the fishermen of Limanskoe put up checkpoints around the village. Across Lake Cagul, brigades from neighboring villages were rushing in on motor boats. The Romanian towns Lukavitsa and Isakcha on the right bank got on high alert.
To negotiate with the rebels, the deputy chairman of Reni administration, Ivan Stadnikov, quickly arrived. The respected leader was able to persuade his countrymen to release the “prisoners” without inflicting injuries.
Finally the residents lined the military representatives on the square, placed the bag with call up papers nearby, doused it with gasoline and defiantly set it on fire. Moreover, they forced the military representatives to stare at the fire until the papers burnt to ashes.
What happened to the confiscated machine guns is unknown.
This was reported by the acting head of the district administration S. Barymov. He argues that the Odessa regional administration does yet intend to pursue a punitive operation in the rebellious village. A power sweep against the Danube rebels may trigger an explosion of people’s anger around the Bessarabian region. [See note below on the history of Bessasrabia.]
“When the incident was over, I was called by the head of the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine in the Odessa region and assured that the head of the Reni district police department, dispatching armed guards, made a mistake and will be punished”, shrugged the official.
That is, people were reassured by the promises that the cops are to blame for everything, and the commissar patrol will not show up in Limanskoe ever again.
Comment by translator Kristina Rus:
Looking at the map above, you can see that the Reni district is completely cut off from the rest of Odessa region (and Ukraine) and is surrounded by Romania from North and West, and the lake in South-East. Perhaps geography contributed to their bold hostility. It appears that no one from the Odessa region wants to deal with them at this point. Perhaps hoping that its isolation will not infect other districts. Do we have a Reni Republic in the works? I can bet this is what local men talk about at night. For now, looks like we have a “Limanskoye Republic” for sure. Surrounded by its own checkpoints. And triumphantly left to their own devices by the masters of Odessa region.
This is yet another argument for those analysts who think that more fragmentation of Ukraine is yet to come.
