That's why I posted the link without making any serious comments. There's no absolute proof that they are hired mercenaries yet.

Russian media for the westerners is a baby talk in comparison to Russian media for Russians. You should learn Russian and watch Russian TV - any channel. That is the way to gain knowledge about Ukraine you can't get anywhere else. An hour of hatred watching Russian TV and you will be ready to kill us with a flamethrower. That is a rich experience to enjoy and to discover hidden sides of your soul. Strongly recommended.
It's not easy to know when I'm reading "baby talk" or hardcore stories. The Russian media sources I use are Комсомо́льская пра́вда, Российская газета, Аргументы и факты, and Красная звезда.
And yeah, I wanna know more but I'm still learning Russian grammar and sentence structure. I learn a lot of Russian here and from Alex at another site (he was born in Moscow and lived there for 25 years). I have so many other subjects I have to study till summer but I still find some free time every day to study some Russian too. I'll have a lot more time this summer.
I do watch some Russian TV, Russian movies, and other Russian videos. I watch them to see how many words I recognize and sometimes I hear phrases I understand.
But when I read news or watch it on TV, I try to ignore everything but the facts because I only wanna know what's happening.
I don't have any reason to hate Ukrainians or Russians and I hope that the Ukrainian government will find a way to make all the Ukrainian people happy. I know that won't be easy with an Austerity program but I believe it can be done.
Maybe a crisis like that will happen someday in the US. Until that happens, I don't believe anyone here will ever really understand it or how it feels to be caught up in it. All I can really understand is the facts (the ones that are proven).
