Russia’s Global Image Negative amid Crisis in Ukraine
Russia’s Global Image Negative amid Crisis in Ukraine
An armored column of Russian personnel carriers allegedly recorded near Belgorod were seen with blue ‘peacekeeper’ (MC) markings fixed to their rear. This story was affirmed by Mark MacKinnon, senior international correspondent for The Globe and Mail.

Throughout the day, multiple witness accounts of the symbol appearing on Russian military units in the region were also uploaded by separate users, strengthening the supporting evidence of the ‘peacekeeping’ convoy operating dangerously near Kharkiv.
There has been no official explanation for the units’ presence, but Russia has ratcheted up rhetoric and claims of Ukrainian forces shelling positions in Russia in recent days. Pretext for the invasion of Georgia in 2008 also included claims of Russian peacekeepers dying in Tskhinvali during the Georgian military response to the ongoing South Ossetian insurgency. A similar assault is precipitating in both Donetsk and Luhansk, where Russian-backed insurgents are concentrated and largely surrounded.
Below is a gallery of other Russian ‘peacekeeping’ units bearing the blue MC mark, principally during the occupation of Georgia / South Ossetia.

While in Donetsk things are more stable due to the MH17 crisis, in Lugansk and in the remaining pockets the Ukrainian army and air force are going all in, and things on the ground are changing quickly.

Apparently there's been an epidemic of sudden deaths among Russian special forces lately. They keep having accidents while in training or on vacation.

Is that meant to be a satire, or are they really that feckless? 
I've found myself holding a fairly neutral standpoint through all of this......
But I still wonder why an ethnic group of people aren't allowed the chance to break away from a new regime they feel they have no connection with?
In most other places in the world the west would normally support this action and would not condone the actions of an aggressive regime's military on to part of its own society.

It's about process.But I still wonder why an ethnic group of people aren't allowed the chance to break away from a new regime they feel they have no connection with?

The west supports a sovereign state, deciding to host a fair process that results in a section splitting off should that be the outcome.
The west does not support people from a neighbouring state turning up with weapons, standing on a bit of someone else's sovereign state and saying "this is ours now because we say the people want it to be".
