Just read info that 6 APCs were either captured of defected to the side of the people in Kramatorsk.

Reliable information?

No. A commentator on a news thread claiming to be from the region.
The best source was that open comm channel, but it's, alas, down.

The personnel on that picture looks too relaxed to be moving in into a war zone, so it does not feel genuine.

Russian (state-owned) media are full of reports about fights, causalities in Kramatorsk, Slovyansk. Journos on the ground don't see anything.

i understand.... are they traded on any stock exchange? Blackwater? One could see an increased future demand for their services...

Nope. They are not publicly traded. And right now, they have been renamed to Academi.

Is this another spoof? How can we check the authenticity that these pictures were taken in Slovyansk?

Last I heart yesterday on www.ustream.tv/channel/bg-studio1 (it's down today) was that the deaths at the Kramatosk airfield were not confirmed. Several people saw helicopters that were unloaded, but no one could witness dead people, not even through their contacts in the official channels.

ow ok they look like local activists... more like amateurs... at least one could say they are not trained to kill..

Not surprising. The Ukrainian army has been severely underfunded for almost two decades now. Most of the experienced troops have defected to the Russians. The remainder don't know how to use a tank.  Grin That is why they are importing Blackwater mercenaries now.

It's ukrainian regular army.

There are messages that these guys switched to the side of protesters a few hours ago. But it's hard to say is it true or not.

way for avoiding the bloodbath.

They kill just one armenian guy, he left 2 sons.
And in Slavyansk shooting was one misterious guy found dead with Kalashnikov, no idea who he is. Local fisherman?

Yesterday there were reports of defection from Slovyansk. Hopefully a majority of the Ukrainian soldiers will defect, a la Crimea. This is the only way for avoiding the bloodbath.
Unfortunately, there are traitors in the protesters ranks. Mayor of Slavyansk tried to make a secret deal with Right Sector, but she was exposed and fled away from the city.

So here is the current situation. The Ukrainian army is trying to retake the smaller cities such as Kramatorsk and Slovyansk, where the protestors number only in a few hundreds and are armed with nothing more than baseball bats. Right now, they don't have any big plans for the major cities such as Mariupol and Donetsk. The protesters there number in thousands, with some armed with AK-47s.
