So Ukraine has launched an attack on separatist-held Kramatorsk.
This should be interesting

I'd argue that most people should give a fuck. The conflict in Ukraine is essentially a conflict between Russia and the west. This is big.

This has some humour to it. Ruskies saying the armed men have no relation to them, so the Ukrainians are going to go kill them. Either Russia will admit to straight up lying and intervene to same their guys, or have to just sit still knowing their dudes are getting killed. Or they just say fuck everyone and walk in guns bazing regardless.

I can't believe no news outlets say anything about this. CNN is still talking about the fucking Malaysian flight.

Jews in east Ukraine are told to register if they are of Jewish heritage and above the age of 16. Bring passports, IDs, and other documents with $50 cash. Hopefully this is just some propaganda from one side trying to make the other look bad. Otherwise this really is a scary situation...l

Still something we should't care about?

I'm confused by this, I'm seeing the blame being assigned to both sides

Either way, either side it should be happening. But from what I've heard it is the areas where "Pro-Russian" militants have taken over the government in Ukraine. So though its still Ukraine, its more Pro-Russian people? Not exactly sure, details still seem back and forth. Hopefully it turns out to just be some bullshit propaganda from one side. Hope to God this isn't real.
