The Good People Of Slavyansk Rise Up Against Bankster Backed Mercs

Civilians near Ukraine’s flashpoint city of Slavyansk have stopped a column of armored vehicles and troops from entering their city amid a bankster backed Kiev offensive on pro-Russian protesters.
Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: Local residents prevented the column from entering Slavyansk on Friday as the acting Kiev government deployed armed forces to the city’s suburbs in a bid to retake the city.
The acting Kiev government launched the military offensive earlier on Friday, using armored vehicles, helicopters and tanks, but their advance towards the city has been limited.
According to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, the country’s armed forces are now controlling at least nine Slavyansk checkpoints set up by the protesters. 
However, the city of 130,000 residents is still mostly under the control of pro-Russian protesters.
Kiev also confirmed that pro-Russian gunmen shot down two army helicopters, killing two pilots. In addition, another pilot was injured and taken to hospital by the armed men.
This is while pro-Russian protesters near the city of Yasynuvata seized a rail control center for the Donetsk region.

Meanwhile, self-defense forces across Donetsk Province are preparing for more possible military actions by the interim government.
In addition, self-defense forces in Crimea said they are heading to southeastern regions to help the pro-Russian protesters against Ukrainian troops.
Over a dozen cities in eastern Ukraine are under the control of pro-Russian protesters, including Lugansk, Kramatorsk, Donetsk and Horlivka. 
Pro-Russia protests gained momentum in Ukraine after Crimea declared independence from the former Soviet state and formally applied to become part of the Russian Federation following a referendum in March.
