Russian tanks roll across border from Belarus as 'hundreds' of Ukrainians die

Tanks and troops rolled across the border from Belarus as paratroopers landed in the east of the country with rebel forces also pushing out from the occupied Donbass region

Six Russian jets were shot out of the sky over the eastern Donbass region with 50 Russian troops killed, Ukraine claimed, before Moscow boasted of taking full control of the skies. Ukrainian border guards said they had come under attack by heavy artillery, tanks and troops from Russia and Belarus as Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko threw his forces into the fight, though he denied it.
