'Russian' Troops Cross into Ukraine As Donetsk And Luhansk Reveal Winners of Elections

... hahahaha ... Pro-Russian Rebels EVERYWHERE and GLASS SEE-THROUGH BALLOT CONTAINERS.

Great atmosphere if you had a tendency to cast a Pro-Ukraine Vote ... NO?
As pro-Russian winners were announced Sunday after an election in Donetsk and Luhansk, concerns intensify over a major military movement of troops and equipment from Russia into Ukraine. The movements, which began Sunday and were witnessed by a number of Western journalists, included up to 40 trucks of military equipment and troops.
"There is intensive deployment of military equipment and personnel of the enemy from the territory of the Russian Federation onto territory temporarily controlled by insurgents," Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told a briefing in Kiev.
The scenes were initially witnessed by AFP reporters who claim to have seen some trucks carrying anti-aircraft guns heading toward the government-held airport.
The movement of the trucks came just hours before election results confirming the new leaders of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The scenes echo those witnessed in Crimea in March 2014 when unidentified militias appeared to patrol the streets in the lead-up to a referendum on independence. The men were later confirmed as Russian soldiers.
In the controversial elections, which the West has called "illegal," Aleksandr Zakharchenko was elected head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Igor Plotnitsky won the vote in the Luhansk People’s Republic. While critics claimed that no real opposition existed in either region to challenge the two men, Russia has framed the Nov. 2 elections as the “will of the people,” and like the referendum in Crimea in March 2014, the results are likely to go unchallenged despite condemnation from Kiev and the West.
