From the website of the US Gauleiter in Kiev, Petro Poroshenko: “We will attack and liberate our land". And attack they sure did. Below is the report which Juan has just sent me.

There was no 'cease fire'. During the slight decrease of hostilities of the last week the Nazis used the time to send massive reinforcements and supplies to Novorossiya and positioned their units for the assaults extant this morning. Strong attempts were made by Nazi units to disrupt humanitarian aid and gifts coming across the Russia/Novorossiya borders.
The preplanned in the event of capture demolition of the military park in Donetsk is destroying a large ammunition, weapon and equipment store destined for the 5th Column right sector units in Donetsk City.
