A political cartoon for RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service by Oleksy Kustovsky:

A convoy of 14 tanks and armored vehicles rumbled through Makiivka, in eastern Ukraine, on September 28, flying the flag of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic." Neither they nor the troops on them bore any other markings or insignia. Western governments accuse Russia of deploying forces in the region, which Russia denies. (Video by Reuters)

This just in from Reuters:

Seven Ukrainian soldiers were killed late on Sunday when a separatist shell hit their armored personnel carrier near the main airport at Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, a military spokesman said on Monday.

It was the largest single number of Ukrainian soldiers killed since a fragile cease-fire came into force on September 5.
