The real reason behind recent media push for Russian invasion is this.

Situation on the frontline in the beginning of the month. Third and eventually failed attempt to separate Donetsk and Lugansk.

And now. It probably represent more of a wishful thinking here and there rather than real situation, but the fact is indeed true -- south front has collapsed in a mere days. Novorossia armed forces managed to surround two major groups of Ukrainians and various so called "territorial battalions" (paramiltary, volunteers, neo-Nazis, ultras etc.) depicted below and almost finished encircling major sea port of Mariuopol.

Of course, how could it be without Russian regular forces to my recollection for 4th (or 5th?) time invading Ukraine in last five months :D

BTW even thought it's useless talking to a banned user and far from victory situation for rebels, but fighter's prediction about near victory situation for Ukrainian army just fell flat.
