Well shit, if a printed word document with a ripped logo and in the wrong language is all you need for proof of conspiracy, then I have some people to get impeached.
Can you explain the "wrong language" part?

He must've overlooked the 'RAND cooperation' part.

What I find more suspicious: The logo is horizontal, but the text isn't. Either RAND has really shitty printers, or the fake's hilariously bad.

The memo would presumably be in Ukrainian. I missed the RAND logo too, so that might explain the English. I don't know much about them though.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

If I recall correctly, Poroshenko speaks English. Untranslated documents wouldn't be a problem for him.

It's fake. English speaking people do not make their sentences like that. The excessive use of "shall be" especially.

RAND are americans. But yeah, it doesn't seems true to me, and could very easily be faked.

And seriously, sending armor first inside cities?

What caused it? Loss of supply lines or necessity to consolidate due to a deteriorating outlook in Slavyansk? Or consolidation due to preparation for an offensive?

Post some English articles would you please?? Sure I could run them through google translate (or maybe I will, and post the translations just to bug you), but you know how google translate is.

Edit: Bask in bad google translation!

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=uk&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unian.net%2Fpolitics%2F936251-terroristyi-prorvalis-iz-blokirovannogo-slavyanska-v-kramatorsk.html&edit-text=&act=url  (though maybe I should have chosen russian instead of ukranian)

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fvesti.ua%2Fdonbass%2F59719-avakov-soobwil-o-begstve-girkina-iz-slavjanska&edit-text=

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Frt.com%2Fnews%2F170624-donetsk-militia-leave-slavyansk%2F&edit-text=&act=url

Meh, other than the first two, google translate actually did better than I thought it would.

Still, I hope I annoyed Guardian G.I. enough to get the point accross. :P

The city survived almost four months of Russian occupation...

And it is mostly intact because Ukrainian Army never used barbarous methods of war like Russia in Chechnya or Assad in Syria

I hear a couple of apartments got flattened or damaged, might not have been Slavyansk though.

Anyways, looks like their morale has been lost and Ukraine has also taken the nearby city of Kramatorsk.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-05/ukraine-crisis-rebels-abandon-main-stronghold-slaviansk/5574746

With Strelkov and his forces now in Donetsk, I wonder if there will end up being a power struggle for who gets to negotiate in Donetsk. If the leader of the Donetsk group of rebels and agrees to a cease fire and Strelkov pulls what he did in Slavyansk, the people in Donetsk definetly won't be happy with him.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There are a lot of such photos from Slavyansk and neighbouring cities floating around the Russian internet.
Villages located near rebel-controlled roadblocks (like Semenovka) were heavily shelled by the Ukrainian army and lie in ruins.
Also, the television tower at Mount Karachun was destroyed by rebel counterbattery fire.

Russian border guards at "Donetsk" checkpoint on the Russian-Ukrainian border were shelled by Ukrainian forces around 15:00 local time today (there's only a Russian link, sorry). There were numerous such incidents over the past weeks, which were always brushed off by the Russian government.
Bloodthirsty irredentist Putin continues pursuing a staunchly non-interventionist foreign policy. Quite a lot of his supporters on the Russian internet are pissed off at him because of that. Many anti-Western Russian websites like odnako.org are in a state of constant shistorm over Putin's inaction.

Sure. It is far from having But if you compare that to Post-Chechen war Grozny it is almost intact

I'd not call that panic. I see well executed regrouping. They are concentrating in larger cities.
As for morale.... Yeah, various local militiamen are panicking with seeing how real soldiers leave them behind. But they never have been an important part of Russian forces.

They have tanks, they have IFVs, they have MRLSes.
