Two years ago nobody thought Ukraine would be fighting for its freedom in a hybrid war instigated by Russia.
This is a new type of war: with soldiers without identifying marks, civilians as a shield, local terrorism and diversions, propaganda, cyber-terrorism and diplomatic double-dealings. Is Europe ready for such a type of conflict?
You think this war is somewhere far away?
Ukraine is in the center of Europe!
Wake up mate, Europe is doing the very same thing since centuries, so I think they are ready for that
. Well, no offence but maybe Ukraine is in Europe, but it still considered as a remote shithole by most westerners.
Actually most of my english colleagues doesn't understand why the "ruskies" keep brawling between each other... and to be honest they doesn't even seem to be interested.
And, Snail2, actually they are not far from truth. What happens in Ukraine is a civil war, which first and foremost undermines Russia and Ukraine with the flames being stoked up from across the ocean, each time when it seems that the fires are dying out and the reason and willingness to talk returns.

Ukrainian army violated the ceasefire and conducted 2 provocations:

Russia is now suddenly accused of the immigrant inflow into Europe from Middle-East. Presumable because Russia is legally and legitimately supports the legitimate government of Syria and sending armaments to the besieged - by terroristic US-sponsored ISISI - Syria in accordance to the official contracts.
OSCE saw no military hardware, weaponry crossing from Russia to Ukraine – mission head http://www.rt.com/news/311800-osce-russia-ukraine-weapons/ No military hardware, weaponry or people bearing arms have crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border during nearly a year of observations, said Paul Picard, the chief of the OSCE monitoring mission deployed at border crossing points in Donetsk and Gukovo.
“We have not seen any military equipment crossing the Donetsk or Gukovo checkpoints,” Picard said at a press conference in Russia’s southern city of Rostov-on-Don. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe observers have also “never seen people crossing the border with weapons. The border guard and customs strictly watch over this,” he added.
