One day after the U.S. Secretaries of Defense & State visit Kyiv, Russia expands airstrikes into Western Ukraine -- Ruslan's tale of getting his mother out of the Donbas....through Russia

While the attention has recently been on Russia's shift of focus to Eastern Ukraine, in what could be an old fashioned land-grab operation, the Russian military hasn't stopped attacking ALL of Ukraine.
