I just saw on CTV an interview with the Ukrainian rebel commander... he said that the Russian troops (up to 4000 Russian troops w/ 20k in reserve at the border from what CTV reported) were "volunteers" fighting for Russian unification. What a load of crap... clearly there is not enough popular support for Russian unification if you need foreign troops to do your fighting and is nothing short of a Russian invasion.
The spin is just incredible. This has got to be one of the slowest invasions in history though... and Putin will likely keep on going if it continues working for him.
