Kyiv Post: Ukraine’s casualties spike as separatist spies and saboteurs roam behind army lines

WNU Editor: This is an under-reported story in the West .... but one that reveals not only how dangerous and volatile the regions behind the battle lines have become, but also the fact that the pro-Russian rebels are able to freely maneuver and operate without any worries or concerns that the Ukraine military can stop them. I have mentioned more than once in the past that this terrain is perfect for guerrilla warfare .... and if you have the support of the locals ... which it appears that the pro-Russian rebels do have .... it becomes next to impossible to stop them.
