Stunt driving in a potential war-zone. Soldiers who defected from the Ukrainian army with a convoy of armored transports saw the heavy booty put through its paces, after it was seized by local militias.

The column had handed itself over in nearby Kramatorsk where a crowd of locals chanted,“The army is with the people!”

Flying a Russian flag the column transferred to Slavyansk, sparking reports of a potential ‘russian invasion’ across a nervous MSM.

Meanwhile East Ukrainians are digging in, barricading their towns and cities amid fears of a large scale military attack by Kiev forces, including the Right Sector “national guard” units.

A week ago Kiev vowed to quell unrest within 48 hours.
