In eastern Ukraine today Ukrainian troops lost more ground to pro-Moscow forces. They pulled back from the strategically important airport in Luhansk and from the town of Gueorguievka. And yet only a few days ago it seemed that Kiev had the upper hand in this conflict and was close to defeating the militants. Kiev accuses Moscow of sending in Russian troops and armoured columns to bolster the separatist rebels. Moscow denies sending troops into Ukraine and claims that rebel gains there are simply the result of a successful counter-offensive.

今天，在乌克兰东部，乌克兰军队向亲俄力量丢失了更多土地。他们从有战略意义的卢甘斯克机场和小镇Gueorguievka撤退。就在几天之前，基辅似乎还在这场战争中处于上风，几乎已经击败激进分子。基辅指控莫斯科派遣了俄罗斯军队和装甲纵队，支持分裂分子叛军。莫斯科否认向乌克兰派遣了军队，声称叛军的胜利只是成功反击的结果。

"While some of the most horrific reports emerging from Iraq remain to be verified, many of the warning boxes have already been ticked.
