Ukraine captures Russian Paratroopers

Ukraine said Tuesday its forces detained a group of Russian paratroopers who crossed the border into eastern Ukraine, and the U.S. ambassador to Kiev warned of a possible “Russian-directed counteroffensive” by pro-Moscow separatists, raising tensions between the two countries ahead of a planned meeting between their presidents at a regional summit.
In a briefing Tuesday, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the Ukrainian army detained 10 Russian paratroopers in the Donetsk region, scene of some of the heaviest fighting with separatist rebels in the east. The spokesman said the Russians were detained with their documents and weapons and had provided statements.
quote:
According to Lysenko, the detained Russian soldiers said that on Aug. 23 they took a train to the Rostov region in Russia and joined “a march” around 3 a.m. the following day in a column of dozens of armored personnel carriers. The soldiers said that only the commanders knew they were going into Ukraine. The soldiers thought they were going for military training.
He said on the video that he did not know he was in Ukraine until “we went through a village and saw a Ukrainian tank.” In a few moments, the tank had begun firing on their vehicle, he said.

It's about to be full blown war in Ukraine unless Ukraine just cedes the western part of their country to Putin like they did Crimea.

Russia said this morning the soldiers entered Ukraine 'by accident.' They inadvertently crossed over into Ukraine in an area where the border was not clearly marked. That's why they were 20 miles into Ukraine. I guess their GPS sucks.....

Or maybe their sense of direction is as bad as mine.

Asked about the assertion by Russian officials that the troops had accidentally crossed the border, Lysenko said: “If elite troops do not know topography and do not know their locality, I can say nothing about that.
I guess we can say the Russian Airborne isn't very elite if they got that lost.

"Wrong way" Corrigan wanted to duplicate Lindberg's solo flight across the Atlantic but couldn't get approval. He was in New York and filed a plan to get back to California. but wound up in Ireland earning him a lifelong nickname. I'd bet these Ruskies were similarly "lost."
They might call these guys "Wrong way" commies.

You can teach a monkey how to read a map, so these guys ended up in Ukraine as part of an operation or the Russian Airborne is the worst "elite" unit around.
