VOR: Elite German special forces unit ready to storm Slavyansk to release OSCE observers
Which strongly suggests that the people the Western media have been calling "observers" were indeed spies, who must be retrieved before they can be put on trial during which they are likely to make a full confession.

Seumus Milne: It's not Russia that's pushed Ukraine to the brink of war
... After Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia, the bulk of the western media abandoned any hint of even-handed coverage. So Putin is now routinely compared to Hitler, while the role of the fascistic right on the streets and in the new Ukrainian regime has been airbrushed out of most reporting as Putinist propaganda.

So you don't hear much about the Ukrainian government's veneration of wartime Nazi collaborators and pogromists, or the arson attacks on the homes and offices of elected communist leaders, or the integration of the extreme Right Sector into the national guard, while the anti-semitism and white supremacism of the government's ultra-nationalists is assiduously played down, and false identifications of Russian special forces are relayed as fact.

The reality is that, after two decades of eastward Nato expansion, this crisis was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. ...

 The Star: Canadian observers in Ukraine accuse Ottawa of breaking promise
... the advance team went public with a story of broken promises, accusing bureaucrats of tearing up their financial agreement after the fact and imposing a frugal new compensation package that some say will leave them subsidizing the mission out of their own pockets.

Zero Hedge: Battleground Ukraine: A Comprehensive Summary (From A Russian Perspective)
Brzezinski ... said: "Don't fool yourself. We are not at war with communism, but with Russia, whatever it may be called." If he´d said war against "the Russian spirit", then he would have been practically repeating the words of Churchill, who said in 1940:
"We are not at war with Hitler, or even the National-Socialism. We are at war with the German spirit, the spirit of Schiller, so that it may never be revived.
" The kind of spiritual castration that was imposed upon the Germans after 1945, that's what they wanted to do to Russia after 1991.
Office of the Prime Minister: Stephen Harper, Mighty Mouse of the North, commits Navy for, um, war? with Russia

Harper is actually committing the navy in a bid to convince Canadians, when it comes time for them to vote in next year's Federal election, what a cool tough guy he is. The downside to this is that some may conclude that he is stark staring bonkers.
