“Poland PM Warns of Possible Russian Direct Intervention in Ukraine”
by The Telegraph   
August 7th, 2014

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday that he believed there was a "growing threat of direct Russian intervention" in eastern Ukraine.

Tusk said on Wednesday that his assessment was based on information received in the previous dozen hours or so, but gave no details.

"The threat of direct Russian intervention is certainly greater than it was a few days ago," he said.

Air strikes and artillery fire between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops in Donetsk have brought the violence closer than ever to the city centre, as Kiev's forces move in on the rebel stronghold.

As the rebels struggle to push back Kiev's forces, the wild card will be whether Russia will come to their rescue.

The Russian Defence Ministry on Tuesday also shrugged off US warnings that an air force exercise in southern Russia this week was adding to tensions, saying that the drills were being conducted hundreds of kilometres away from the Ukrainian border.
