US commander’s accusations toward Russia aimed at justifying ceasefire break by Ukraine – Moscow ... (New York) ... The accusations by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, US General Philip Breedlove, who blamed Russia for destabilizing the situation in Ukraine, are aimed at justifying the breaking of the ceasefire in southeast Ukraine by the country’s army, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. “We think it is absolutely unacceptable when a military representative of such a high rank gets involved in an information and propaganda campaign by spreading false information about the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border,” Itar-Tass quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich as saying. He added that no convincing proof of the Russian military buildup along the border with Ukraine was presented. NOTE ... From The Saker ... vineyardsaker.blogspot.ru/2014/07/a-unofficial-russian-no-fly-zone-over.html ... A unofficial Russian no-fly zone over Novorussia? According to the Saker ... `My friend J just sent me this most interesting video where a Novorussian solider describes how some unidentified aircraft apparently engage Ukie fighters and bombers and, in one instance, box them in and force them to land. This is the first and only time I have ever heard of such a thing taking place, and I obviously cannot vouch for the accuracy of this soldiers interpretation for what he saw. Does that appear plausible? Well, think about it this way: 1) The Ukies have clearly lost control over the Novorussian airspace. Not only they not have the means to control it by force, they probably are blind to what is taking place there. 2) While US SIGINT might be able to detect Russian aircraft in Novorussian airspace, they would have a hard time backing up that claim without compromising their sacrosanct means and methods. Besides, considering the short distances involved the Russian aircraft could fly what is called a low-low-low mission profile and remain pretty much undetectable. 3) If a Russian Air Force aircraft shot down a Ukie, everybody could credit the air defenses anyway and challenge anybody to prove otherwise. So I would rate this source (the solider) as an unknown but this story as credible but uncorroborated. Still, that would explain the heavy Ukie aircraft losses, would it not?
