1. Strelkov has allowed the Uke Army to enter in to a trap of their own making in a narrow long corridor between Army of Novorossiya and the Russia Border known as ‘The Cauldron’. Never underestimate your enemy. In this case it seems the Ukeland Army has violated that truism.
2. Minimum 35 Uke soldiers have been taken across the border to Russia for medical treatment. Confirmed.
3. Border point near Gukovo has been hit with multiple Grad missiles. There are casualties in the refugee camp close to Gukovo. Confirmed. Source of the Grad attack is unknown.
4. The evacuation of Battalion Vostok wounded from the trap at Donetsk Aerodrome in late May under a flag of truce was arranged by OSCE operatives in Donetsk at that time. The two Kamaz convoy flying a flag of truce arranged by OSCE operatives was ambushed and the wounded slaughtered by two Right Sector units. Two OSCE operatives admitted they knew of the ‘possibility’ of an ambush, admission made after the OSCE group was released from detention in Donetsk. Confirmed.
5. Sporadic heavy fighting is ongoing in various locations west and north of Lugansk and Donetsk Cities proper.
6. Lugansk and Donetsk Cities proper and their surrounding towns and cities are under bombardment by Grad, Hurricane and Smerch MLRS and heavy artillery. More civilian casualties. Confirmed.
7. Hasty barricades, mine fields and check points are being erected east and south of Kharkov City by REMF’s of the Ukeland Army stationed in that area. Confirmed.
8. Large MBT storage facility near Kharkov is under investigation by Kiev. Most tanks in the facility, which are supposed to be stored and battle ready, in fact have been cannibalized for parts, times and dates unknown. Several that were started in preliminary observations seem to have had sugar added to their engine crankcases, dates and times of this act unknown. Sugar added to a diesel or benzine motor crank case, about half a kilo does well, becomes rapidly liquid in the lube oil as the oil becomes warm. This compound then displaces the lube oil from the reciprocating and rotating parts which tends to make them warm with the resultant stress fractures of major parts. The motor can not be salvaged with the exception of various ancillary parts that are not lubricated by the central lube system. Confirmed.
9. The Slavyansk/Kramatorsk areas are receiving little if any aid from Kiev. Food and water is in very short supply. Right sector/nats guarda units are still terrorizing the remaining inhabitants in the searches for anyone who may have helped the Novorossiya units in those areas. Reports of civilians being shot, read murdered, are confirmed.
10. The situation in The Cauldron for the Ukes is very serious bordering on disaster. The Novorossiya Army units surrounding them are not in a continuous line, there are many gaps in the line covered by arty and MLRS units. Some of the Ukes will no doubt escape but it is doubtful any of their remaining equipment will get out. The capture of Marinovka and possession of the Saur edifice have sealed the fates of the Ukes. It will take a few more days to completely clean up The Cauldron.
11. Reports of some Ukeland soldiers removing their uniforms and running from The Cauldron are confirmed.
12. A report of one group of Ukeland soldiers fleeing The Cauldron being captured by locals is confirmed. Their execution by the locals for their depredations is unconfirmed.
13. Partisan activities in Kharkov Oblast and Kherson Oblast are continuing. Confirmed. Activities around Mariupol also confirmed. Partisan activities on other areas of Ukeland are unconfirmed.
14. This war will be long. Expect an effort for a cease fire from Kiev/EU/UN/US/UK/PACE/OSCE/Timoshenko’s Masseuse very shortly. It is unknown if Novorossiya will participate in another cease fire after seeing the results of the first ‘cease fire’.
15. Novorossiya has paid and will continue to pay a very high price in blood and tears in their fight against terrorists sent by Kiev. Freedom is not free. Novorossiya will pay the price and win it’s freedom. Confirmed.
Right on.

Shameful video by Simon Ostrovsky and Oleg Lyashko shown hunting down MP Viktor Rybalko for “separatism”.
The cognotive dissonance is strong here. Its repeatedly stated that how the separatists “came in” as if they are outsiders disrupting local peace, yet the videos are very clear that the Ukrainians who want self-determination are the locals themselves, and that the outiders disrupting their lives are people like Lyashko.

Dear Juan/The Saker,
Thank you for the update.
In regard to the “35” Junta soldiers who are receiving medical treatment – will they be detained and arrested after they have recovered?
Their crimes should not go unpunished and the rule of law should apply to them. If some of them are from the 72 batallion who were responsible for Mariupol then they should def. face trial.
And these OSCE observers sending the wounded to their deaths! What of them?
Rgds,
Veritas
REMF’s? – rear echelon mother fuckers is that what you mean
Re #15: Courage, steadfastness and honor are increasingly scarce commodities in this world. The defenders of Novorossia are a reminder to the rest of the world as to what humanity is capable of.
May the great Spirit of Russia uphold and defend you: sword and shield.
What does REMF mean? Rear Echelon Mother F****r?
These are 2 IMPORTANT links at at Colonel Cassad’s site http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/2014/07/17/
& related here
http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/16909.html
Colonel Cassad’s links above has the best info on Ukraine’s civil war updated often with sources from the militia
links below explains that Khordvarsky is on Ahkmetov’s payroll &
they were conspiring with the Kiev junta to surrender Donestk (which is why it was not bombed unliked Lugansk) so Khordovasky eliminated new militias that were potentially ‘uncontrollable’ by betraying them–that
was one of the reasons why Strelkov had to leave Slavansk to goto Donestk, which caused Khordvasky & Ahkmetov to flee Donestsk
How Strelkov lead Donestk & Lugansk to crushing victory over the Kiev junta forces trying to encircle them
excerpt:
“The suppressed conspiracy in Donetsk and the installation of a more comprehensive control over the political processes in the DPR
by
Moscow provided more coherent situation management and made the plans
of surrendering Donetsk and the backstage political conspiracy with the Ukrainian oligarchs unrealistic.
The rough military defeat of the junta on the LPR territory and the growing combat capabilities of the LPR
&
the DPR militia question the very possibility of the military destruction of the people’s republics.
A big quantity of vehicles & the constantly
growing number of militia fighters gradually
transfer the question from the plane
of the survival of the republics towards the
question
of whether they will remain within the borders of the former Donetsk and Luhansk regions after their victory.
The announcement of the Poroshenko rep Mr. Chaliy that
if the situation won’t be solved through talks, then it will spill beyond the borders of the LPR and the DPR is symptomatic.
This is not a concrete offer yet, but already a thinly veiled apprehension that after the probable rout of the junta military in Donbass
the DPR and the LPR militia won’t stop and will advance toward Dnieper.
The hasty reinforcement of checkpoints in Kharkov, Dnep, Zaporozhye regions,
the
retreat of mechanized convoys through
Kraysk towards Dnepvsk
& from Metallist to the North of the LPR reflect the growing apprehension in the military circles.
The smell of a really big defeat is in the air.
Meanwhile, the main speaker of the “party of war”, Mr. Strelkov openly says that his goal is to reach Kiev and to liberate it from the fascists..
.. this
is effectively a political announcement, which means that even after losing Donbass the junta won’t be
at rest,
because
the forces led by Strelkov and his field commanders won’t stop on the border and will advance toward Kharkov, Zaporozhye, and Dnepropetrovsk..”
‘continued below
continued from abvoe: http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/2014/07/17/
excerpt: “In this view, the retreat of Strelkov from Slavyansk not only brought trouble to the Russian defeatists,
which
were preparing the surrender of Donetsk to the junta, & Mr. Akmetov,
whose plans of preserving his influence in Donbass went up in smoke,
but also posed a difficult strategic problem before the junta –
what to do with this war, in which the military victory appears quite dubious at this point.
The powerless murders of civilian population & offenses that lead to cauldrons are clearly not the way in which this problem will be solved.
The matter of fact is that the “party of war”, which is publicly represented by people like Strelkov, Mozgovoi, Bolotov, and Bezler (and not publicly – by
the
military circles in Moscow) in its idea of routing the junta in Donbass and advancing to Kiev,
meets those groups which support the idea of Novorossia..
..the military led by Strelkov lays the groundwork for the return to the idea of “large Novorossia” not out of 2, but out of 7-8 regions.
This became possible after a retreat from Slavyansk, which broke the game for
the junta and the Russian defeatists, which led to certain changes in the Russian policy in Donbass –
the direct control through the line of state security and the large-scale appearance of
tanks,
SPHs, SAMs, artillery, MLRSs, and other weapons with
the
militia says that the political decision was made and that the line pursued by Moscow between April 24 and July 5 was abandoned.
The support became more substantive, which showed in the internal structure of the DPR and in the combat readiness of the militia fighters.
In this view, the situation around the DPR is starting to change.
The failure of the “defeatist party” with the surrender of Donetsk (currently all involved are removed from any meaningful political levers –Lukyanchenko, Khodakovsky, Pozhidayev–
didn’t lead to their extinction.
Only their line of conduct changed..”
How Khodovarsky & Ahkmetov betrayed some of the militia
http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/16909.html
excerpt:
“The surrender of Mariupol, in which Mr. Akhmetov had his finger in by blocking the coherent work on preparing the city defense, this was so to say a part of the “dialog”.
The story of Mr. Khodakovsky, who while already being the commander of “Vostok” continued to take money from Akhmetov
and betrayed his people,
was also a part of this behind-the-scenes haggling,
when
Akhmetov in essence was getting rid of
uncontrollable militia fighters so that they wouldn’t start building the DPR for real.”
==
it seems Khodarvosky was on the payroll of Ahkmetov & they were planning to surrender Donestk
the interviewee (a pro-Russian Armenian volunteer who said he fought at the botched Donetsk airport battle 1 month ago –
-it seems they were massacred at the airport by 4 Ukrainian helicopters & 2 jets because
former Ukrainian SBU agent/leader Khodavorsky(who never went to the airport) is maybe a double-agent or working for Ahkmetov because
it is he
who ordered them NOT to take their anti-air MANPADs
with
them
& then had his SBU snipers leave the airport at 1pm & then the bombing started at 2pm
Khodavorsky then ordered them via cell phone to retreat on 2 Kamaz trucks …
but
somehow, the rest of the militias outside the airport were given the false rumor that Right Sector was going thru Donetsk in 2 Kamaz trucks,
resulting
in ‘friendly fire’ where the militias shot the 2 Kamaz trucks with grenade launchers, resulting in
35 killed in the 1st truck & more in the 2nd truck
This also explains why Khodavorsky has refused orders from Strelkov —

Thank you. All the best wishes to the brave fighters of Novorossiya – the whole free world is with you!
Thank you, Juan and the Saker!
I wonder what Russia is going to do with the soldiers that were taken for medical treatment. I hope they will be tried in Russia and won’t be sent to Banderostan?
I am in Russia right now and hear what people say about this catastrophe every day. Everyone seems to be ready for war and the effect the sanctions may have. No one is really scared from what I can see. People are just praying for those who are being murdered by junta and for the future of our people. Many lost relatives in Ukraine because they refuse to communicate with “Russian occupiers”. God, send wisdom to those people. I heard men say that they will go to war if needed. What’s important, I believe, is that people put trust in Putin and his government, they believe he will do the right thing and we will support him no matter what. I don’t really know how to express what I and other people feel, I found this on the internet today and I think it sums it up (sorry for my poor translation):
“Наша история держится на духе, который просыпается в трудные минуты в нашем народе. Наше имя – Стрелков, наша жизнь – Новороссия! Никто не погиб зря. Это битва за Россию.”
“Our history is based on the courage that awakes in our people in the hardest time. Our name is Strelkov, our life is Novorussia! No one died for nothing. This fight is for Russia”.
I don’t think the English versions is even close to being as powerful as the Russian one. But I think the message is important. We are all proud of Strelkov and his freedom fighters; and we understand and cherish what they are doing for us all. I just wish we could help them more.
All my best wishes and blessings to the Brave Freedom Fighters of #Novorossiya. May God give you victory in Jesus name I pray. May God Keep the victims of evil in his loving care always. #Savedonbaspeople. http://imgur.com/Qmy4QyK
NOVOAMERICA / NEW AMERICA
Currently existing territories of New America: New Orleans, Detroit, Lakotah Nations. Further guerilla activity in the West and Southwest expected soon. Expect the Washington regime to withdraw to its East Coast enclaves, while conducting targeted attacks to defend military assets throughout the country.
How did this comment filter through?
“MBT”= ?
Run, Nazis, run! Back to the west, where you will see what your coup has bought you- a country in even worse shape than it was before, looted by the US and EU in addition to your homegrown oligarchs. No jobs, half the pensions and twice the price for gas; demoralized by defeat and traumatized by PTSD, freezing in the dark, just remember- you asked for it.
On a related note, it looks like the MSM (at least in Europe) is slowly backing off of their ‘Nazis in Ukraine? What Nazis’ party line, and acceding to reality. From the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28329329
If the Brit Bollix Corp. is starting to turn, you know THE WASHINGTON NARRATIVE is crumbling.
poland supply arms and soldiers ?
there is an link of source for russian speakers at the end of article…
http://www.alternews.cz/polsko-vstupuje-vojny/
I would be interested in translation and commentary on this article “Chubarov and the factor of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis” posted on the Colonel Cassad page.
A BBC commentator talking about the new sanctions today saying that what happened on the ground in Ukraine was critical as “the rebels are very much on the back foot” now. Andrew is correct I think that ‘facts on the ground’ need to be solidified asap so that the outside world cannot be confused about what is happening. Kiev is now demanding that the US be involved in any ceasefire negotiations – clearly Washington has done a behind the scenes full court press/blackmail to bolster their slippage over the past few weeks.
Zerohedge reports that Malaysian 777 shot down near Ukraine Russia border:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-17/malaysian-airlines-boeing-777-crashes-near-ukraine-russia-border-interfax-reports
German media (Tagesthemen 17.7.) are preparing for explaining bad news: Showing an Ukie exponation of “proofs” for RF heavy weapon deliveries (i.e. captured equipment of militia showing allegedly modifications which cannot be found in Ukrainian equipment, only in Russian). New meme: The defeat is due to massive military support by Russia, Russia is taking back control over Ukraine by military force.
In between: One second of a Donezk refugee to Russia saying that the Ukie military is attacking their own population. So a homeopatic dose of truth is added to the lies.
Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 Reportedly Shot Down Over Ukraine
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-17/malaysian-airlines-boeing-777-crashes-near-ukraine-russia-border-interfax-reports?page=1
The crash happened near Donetsk and the plane had 280 passengers on board. The question is – accident? Or was it shot down by Russia or Ukraine as a provocation.
The passenger jet was bound for Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam, Interfax reports, citing an unidentified aviation official.
Airliner began losing altitude 50 km before entering Russian air space; wreckage was found burning on Ukrainian territory

Yeah Sky News reporting 295 Passengers killed in a Malaysia Airways flight over Donesky after shot down by a BUK surface to air missile
Why would a commercial flight pass over an active conflict zone where aircraft are being regularly shot down? I have a very bad feeling about this. Smells very bad like a desperate evil attempt by Kiev and US to turn public opinion in their favor…
On the hottest parts of the front, Ukies have been observed throwing away their weapons, taking off their military markings, with some even removing their uniforms and changing into civilian clothes, and running toward the Russian border. Those who have no civilian clothes with them run with peeled-off epaulets. Some, and, in particular, members of the punitive battalions and Praviy Sector militants, have been seen stripping to their underwear.
MH17 = false flag pretext to sanction Novorossia as international terrorist organization, Russia as state sponsor of terrorism.

Everything is displayed here quite clearly if you set aside all preconceived notions of what actually went on. The real reason our ship of state has veered around as though it had no rudder… is because it doesn’t. No way I’m apologising for this creep: he’s Dubya v.2.0 and others than I have said here that he’s more than likely drugged out of his gourd. He’s never provided any real leadership, just spit out a few platitudes and then willingly done whatever he was told. However, the buck still stops at his desk, and he chose to run for re-election knowing what was what. Might he have been blackmailed or threatened? Who. Cares.
More to the point, we don’t even know who exactly is really running any part at any time of anything that is really going on. Which means yes, every bit of it has to be stopped. But let’s say guns work: how the hell do you know who to shoot? Totebaggers and transgender activists are a whole lot easier to spot than the well-hidden, well-protected creeps who have ruined our economy and are doing their level best to destroy the rest of the world: how do we even know who it is we’re looking for or where we can find them? And even if by some miracle we somehow manage to get ’em all, then what? Literally and concretely — what do we do next? I personally believe that armed revolution before we end these pointless culture wars and unite will turn into an endless free-for-all — at the end of which that same question will still need to be answered. And We The Gun-Owners would have to kill over half of the population here to become a majority and you know darned well we’d just end up fighting among ourselves. That’s hardly the way to run any country, let alone one ostensibly based on the rule of law.
Meanwhile, YESSSSS! to Anonymous 14:38 and NOVOAMERICA!!!!! That was absolutely the best news I’ve heard in a very long time. Thank you!
T1 and the pessimist,
How many people here have warned us the time is ripe for a false flag. Cue the war drums — and it’s clearly our job, right now, to do everything we can to counteract the brainwashed multitudes and lead them to a more accurate grasp of what is really going on. THAT — and only that — would be true patriotism and love of country!
Don’t forget the US has the capacity to take over the flight control computers of airliners and steer them anywhere. It’s a simple computer hack.
Malaysia is totally under Western control. Loses airliners willy nilly.
Flight should have been at 36,000 feet. Was at 21,000 reportedly when “hit”.
The battlefield was in disarray for Kiev. So this happened. Tonkin Gulf all over again?
Highly likely that this is not an accident of war. Highly likely that is an effort against Russia so NATO can come to the rescue.
Poland shipping artillery into Odessa, and now this event.
Airliners falling from skies is a trademark owned by the CIA.
They took down a domestic flight to send E.Howard Hunt a message to shut up. His wife was killed on that “accident”.
The Hegemon is a hungry beast.
This aircraft down near Torez would the passenger flight, not a transport. A very tragic event.
Kiev declared no-fly zone over #Donetsk & #Lugansk regions several days ago, so maybe the plane was indeeed guided there to be shot down.
There are also reports saying that the Flightaware online tracking system lost track of this plane right at the Polish/Ukr border. Transponder off? What? See Flightaware route map: https://twitter.com/AirlineFlyer/status/489791298921308160

B777 was flying escorted by 2 Ukrainian fighters until a few minutes before it disappeared from radar
El avión B 777 voló escoltado por 2 cazas de ukraine hasta minutos antes, de desaparecer de los radares,
Anonymous 16:15 on the last post wondered why that plane was over Ukraine in the first place… and Mr. Nora insisted on seeing a map bc he figured Ukraine was pretty far north for a decent flight plan.
Which it is. Don’t ever fly Malaysian Airlines, folks: people in Langley or Utah or Nevada fly those planes anytime and anywhere they want!
And it’s NOT going to be a question of whether or not Russia can a) defend herself and b) provide proof of who dunnit. No indeed — the only question here is how exactly we’re going to stick our fingers in our ears this time and go, “Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, I can’t HEAARRRR you!” And the usual fools will hide behind our skirts and try to look tough…
Outstanding report! And now this at 12:31 EDT
Here’s a surprise: False flag? How would an “adviser” know that the plane “was hiti by a missile fired from a Buk launcher.” The article says the plan fell in an area controlled by the Resistance. Who inspected the accident to determine the weapon, if any, responsible for the downing?
Oh, and Associated Press just happened to notice a “Buk missile” near a Ukrainian town.
Official: Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 carrying 295 passengers shot down over Ukraine
Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian official said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday over a town in the east of the country, and Malaysia Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights over Ukrainian airspace.
Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). He also said it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, which can fire missiles up to an altitude of 22,000 meters (72,000 feet).
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said his country’s armed forces didn’t shoot at any airborne targets. …
AND
The Donetsk region government said Thursday’s plane crashed near a village called Grabovo, which it said is currently under the control of armed pro-Russian separatists. The region where the flight was lost has seen severe fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatist rebels in recent days.
A launcher similar to the Buk missile system was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday.
The Soviets were quite right: Western democracy in general and its hangers-on in particular belong in mental asylums. Expect a perpetual anti-Russian screamfest of the highest magnitude regarding the downed airliner. Wonder if the Smolensk incident back in April 2010 will do as “proof positive” here.
False Flag
Not what you may think it is but look at the colors – white red blue vs white blue red. Could be some uki pilot took revenge on Russia for supposedly shooting down his comrades. Missing the wrong color sequence he shot it down.

We are working on this for you. We’ll be up all night. We hope to have a report for you in the morning our time, 8 hours ahead of East Coast time.
Our boys have recovered 8 black boxes so far. Our boys are complaining of the stench of dead bodies. ???? These are freshly killed. It’s in the low ’80’s up there and dry as toast. The stench normally starts 24-48 hours after death if not later. Why instant?
The Buk system can reach to that height but only if fired virtually straight up. Our Buks, captured from the Ukes 10 days ago, DO NOT WORK! The missiles are way out of their ‘use by’ date and were 55 klicks away. Ergo if a Buk shot that bird down, which is not what happened, it was not OUR Buk systems. If our Buks were used to bring down low flying Ukes, it took someone with cast iron balls to push the button. The damned thing is just as like to blow up in your face as it is to pop on up and fulfill it’s task.
