Ukraine is heating up again and now all eyes are on TRUMP!

AVDIIVKA, Ukraine -- Freezing and nerve-shattered residents of an eastern Ukraine town battered by an upsurge in fighting between troops and Russia-backed rebels flocked to a humanitarian aid center Wednesday to receive food and warm up.
Heavy shelling of government-held Avdiivka, just north of the rebel stronghold city of Donetsk, began over the weekend and persisted into early Wednesday. Donetsk city also was hit.
At least 10 people have been killed since Monday and dozens wounded.
Separatist rebels have been fighting government troops and volunteer brigades in eastern Ukraine since April 2014 in a conflict that has killed more than 9,700 people. A pact reached nearly two years ago in Minsk, Belarus, called for a cease-fire, for heavy weapons to be pulled back from the front lines and for a political resolution of the conflict, but the agreement has been observed only fitfully and skirmishes and artillery fire have persisted.
In a worrisome sign, an Associated Press reporter saw rebel artillery positions in the center of Donetsk city on Wednesday.
What sparked the recent escalation is unclear. But each side could find negotiation benefits in it.
Come Pres Trump and SOS Tillerson, it is time to sell Ukraine the lethal aid that Obama has denied them so they can then defend themselves. Plus the media melt will be glorious.

You mean Merkel. Ukraine is in Germany's backyard not ours.

I think it goes the other way, we threw out their previous government and put in the guy in charge now...
Well us (CIA) and several Soros NGOs...which are currently operating against Trump in the US
Why would the POTUS join the same side that's against him on his own soil?

You're right, we should give them the Syria treatment. Ukrainian refugees >>>>> Syrian refugees

Article says they have been at it for awhile. The ceasefire has not been observed since enacted.
Why in the frick is the AP reporting about it now when people have been firing for the past 3 years?

Well at least Trump and Putin like each other and our new Secretary of State is good friends with Putin. That should help, right?

I look forward to liberals marching, demanding we take in Ukrainian refugees.

If California seceded and 25 years later the US started making moves to get it back, but Russia was interfering, would the US be a little bit ticked?
