Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Monday 07 September [Ukrainian sources]
Mon Sep 07, 2015 12:20 am
MONDAY
Please scroll down to view news items added during the course of the day
News -
Reading that Putin attacked 12 times yesterday.
Update -- 0 dead, 2 soldiers injured yesterday.
Pushilin - the new Putin mouthpiece in the occupied Donbass has said that peace will come soon.
Looks like some new approach by Putin, or perhaps Putin is now under pressure in the Kremlin as the Russian economy - and state - collapses.
But it could all be a bluff. Putin - nutcase.
Svoboda -
Word is that Svoboda have called their fighters to Kiev. Tiagnibok is going to address them on Tuesday.
He is already called the government "pro-Russian". So I would expect him to call for a new revolution and for himself to be appointed supreme ruler.
With Tiagnibok's supporters ready and willing to throw handgrenades and kill Ukrainian fighters, this is a dangerous situation.
Sakashvilli v Yatseniuk
Don't understand what Sakashvilli is doing. Attacking Yats. The main government figures should stay united.
Article in The Times - but you have to pay to read.
Weather -
Cold. 9C this morning. Really cold. In one week, from 35 to 9. A serious drop.
And similar all week. Perhaps a high of 15. Low of 8 or 9 each day forecast
Footie -
Scotland-Germany this evening could be interesting.
Ukraine play tomorrow, away in Slovakia. Very difficult game.
Likely that Ukraine will finish 3rd in their group - a playoff spot. A lottery.

In WSJ. But you have to pay to view.
The headline says it all; this story was on the tv news here in Ukraine last night.
I understand she said that Ukraine needs to stick with the policies agreed.
But the Rada - with the infighting - anything can happen in Ukrainian politics.
Populism rules. Today is all. Thinking about tomorrow is of little importance.

The threat of suicide, alcoholism and aggressiveness: a psychologist problems fighters ATO after Donbass (Columnist)

Alcoholism is a massive problem anyway in Ukraine.
I know many in the armed forces who drink all day their military bases. Keep a bottle in their lockers. Drink at lunchtime also.
In the supermarket yesterday my eye was caught by a special offer.
Staropramen - a nice Czech beer (but probably made in Ukraine) - 4 cans for 35 hryvnia.
Even with the increase in the price of alcohol it is still incredibly cheap. One bottle of the same beer was under 8 hryvnia. 30 cents. 25p.
But - the article. Yes - I have heard of many problems of soldiers returning and being violent, and many other problems in the family following their return.
Part of Putin's legacy for Ukraine, I'm afraid.

Ukrainian roads are incredibly dangerous. But sadly little is done to improve road safety.
The police simply take bribes, and the manic speeders, or drunks simply continue on their way.

Donetsk area, allowing contraband through. Absolute joke.
There are Border Guard personnel taking home a million hryvnia for a six-month spell at the border taking bribes for allowing contraband through.
But nothing is done. One little fine.
What is 17000, when you can make 1000000. A two percent tax? Joke.

Moldova protesters take to streets criticising 'mafia' government [Engl]

Thousands protested in May after $1bn – equivalent to one eighth of the country’s budget – disappeared from three banks through mysterious loans. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank stopped lending to Moldova after the incident, and the return of the $1bn remains a key demand of the current protests.

What is amazing - the family are scared stiff of the Russian KGB.

"We must call the KGB". Putin's climate of fear, even for the families of the soldiers.

As long as Zakharchenko gets his daily supply of vodka, then I am sure all is ok in Donetsk.
Read also of a Border Guard found with 3000 dollars in his car. Peanuts.
Let through a truck full of meat. Sell it for twice the price in Donetsk. Make some real money that way.
Also, of course, a new game, changing hryvnia into rubles. Another money making racket for the Putin bandits.
One thing is for sure -
the babushkas aren't out on the street singing "Rasseeeya" anymore.
Although pay them 50 hryvnia and they will join any protest ))

EU sanctions and a subsequent Russian embargo have hurt many French and European companies.

Oh - we are supposed to forget that.... so the French scumballs can make money with their business deals with Russia.

50-50 I'd say.
If Liashko, Tymoshenko and the like thing they can gain political support by opposing this, then they will do it.
But, last I heard, about 80% of the Ukrainian population were in favor of passing this bill.
And if so... the coalition need a unified position if possible - Samopomich and Tymoshenko.
They have 3 months in which to work something out.

10 Outrageous Ways Russian Media Covered The Crash Of MH17 [Engl]
Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:07 am
http://listverse.com/2015/09/07/10-outrageous-ways-russian-media-covered-the-crash-of-mh17/#.Ve1uUnKVjAY.twitter
They’ve zeroed in on the exact launch location, the BUK’s exact journey into and out of Ukraine, and even the likely culprits behind the tragic misfire—Russian soldiers of the 53rd Air Defense Brigade from Kursk. ....
.Meanwhile, in Russia, media coverage of the MH17 tragedy has been somewhat . . . different. ....
Shortly after MH17 crashed, an anchor for Russia’s LifeNews channel appeared on TV to announce that the separatists had successfully downed yet another Ukrainian An-26. (One was shot down just three days prior, on July 14.) She described the incident in detail, including the fact that the plane was hit by a missile and that it crashed near Torez, which was under separatist control. Her report was accompanied by video footage of black smoke rising from the site of the crash.Of course, it wasn’t long before the sad truth became clear. There was no An-26; the plane that fell near Torez was none other than MH17. Once that news got out, a curious thing happened: The same anchor, wearing the same blue outfit and what must have been the best poker face in the industry, came back on to say that MH17 could not have possibly been downed by separatists because they didn’t have the right weapons for the job—
the same separatists that minutes earlier took credit for downing the nonexistent An-26. We got to see the Orwellian “Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia” switcheroo happen in real time.....
[Good.
Quite a long read.
The key word in the Russian news video - "another Ukrainian military... aircraft". Some Russian propaganda have tried to say the story was old and they were talking about the first. Not so. The word "another" would not be needed. In fact it would be very confusing. ]

Влад Плахотин / Vlad Plachotin
Killed brother. Vlad Plakhotin. Callsign - scaffold. ...
Last time he wrote to me in the spring, wanted to serve in the battalion "Vikings". But the circumstances were such that he found himself in the "tag" of Abkhazia. Vlad was born and raised in Slavyansk. The militia came in the early days of Russian spring, right after graduating from school.

Russian Orthodox Priest in Mercedes S class ignores police in Kiev and drives off
Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:56 am
Apparently went through a no-entry sign. But as a worker at the Lavra in Kiev he is actually allowed to.
But he should not simply drive off. Arrogance. Apparently this scumball priest has several luxury cars.
Close to the Yanukovich regime that killed hundreds at Maidan.
Russian Orthodox Church - supporters of Russian terrorism.
I recently walked near the Lavra - a week ago - but I refused to go in. I am not paying money to these terrorists in black cloth.

Very strange. Very very strange....
Russian opposition leader allowed on Russian tv channel. Very strange. What is going on?
Admittedly not on Prime time. By 0900 in the morning most people have left for work.
Will he be the next to be shot?
On second thoughts - probably Putin "playing" with democracy. The Russian opposition have not been allowed to stand in most areas - "irregularities" in the paperwork.
So - this is just a token joke brush with democracy by Putin's regime.

Kiselev scumball Russian journalist appealing sanctions against him in European court

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.C_.2015.294.01.0070.01.ENG
Action brought on 22 May 2015 — Kiselev v Council
(Case T-262/15)
(2015/C 294/85)
Language of the case: English
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—
annul Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/432 of 13 March 2015 amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/427 of 13 March 2015 implementing Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine insofar as it applies to the applicant;
—
order the defendant to pay the applicant’s costs.
============
This really is disgusting.
Kisilev has blood on his hands with his propagation of Russian lies - outright lies - about Ukraine. And stirring up hatred.
Pure Putin propaganda mouthpiece.
He should be arrested and charged as an accomplice to genocide.
This really really disgusts me. These murderers - that's what they are - don't care less about the deaths of 10,000 Ukrainian citizens, but their own rights... oh - let's go to court. Sick individuals.
I can't find his solicitor anywhere - represented by: T. Otty and B. Kennelly, Barristers, and J. Linneker, Solicitor
Possibly John Linneker. Dentons - London
One Fleet Place. London EC4M 7WS?? But not really his field.

Five Separatist Subversives Blew Up On Mines Near Stanytsia Luhanska
Mon Sep 07, 2015 12:47 pm
On Sunday, the soldiers of 128 Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine found five separatist subversives who blew up on mines near the Siverskyi Donets River, in the territory controlled by the terrorist organization "LPR" in Stanytsia Luhanska region.
It was reported by the press service of the Luhansk regional military-civilian administration.
Judging by the state of the bodies, they were killed about two weeks ago during a failed attempt to break through. The deceased were in camouflage uniform with automatic weapons, ammunition, but without documents.
One of the dead had a sleeve patch with Russian flag and with and another one of the Rapid Response Group “Bat”. One of the assault rifles had “LPR” markings and a silhouette of a bat.
These sleeve patches are used by a terrorist group, whose leader by the nickname “Batman” was killed during the struggle for power in “LPR” at the beginning of the year.
“Unfortunately, as a result of inspection of the dead separatists, one of the soldiers of 128 Brigade stepped on the trip wire and was wounded. He was taken to hospital and is given all the necessary treatment, “- said the head of the Luhansk regional military-civilian administration George Tuka.
“It should be noted, that while the number of attacks decrease, still the danger of such subversive groups remains. These terrorists use their brothers in arms simply as cannon fodder, sending their sabotage and reconnaissance groups through minefields to make way for the other groups to come “- said Tuka.

Over ten companies interested in buying Odesa port-side plant – SPF head
Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:15 pm
"Among the interested parties are Polish-based Kulczyk Investments, four U.S. companies, and there are Chinese, Moroccans, and about four European companies. This is not taking into account our "regional elites." If I were to count there will be more than ten interested parties. Of these about five or six are really 'alive'," he said.
Bilous said if the Verkhovna Rada adopts bill No. 2319a on September 18 the tender to sell Odesa port-side plant will be held in February 2016.

The Russian Deployment To Syria Is About To Make Things Much Worse

[you have to scroll down to view the specific posting. time given]
On August 22, the Bosphorus Naval News website showed the Alligator-class Russian ship Nikolai Filchenkov, part of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, two days earlier passing through Istanbul’s famed waterway en route to an unknown location in the Mediterranean (hint, hint).
But what was remarkable about the Filchenkov was that military equipment was visible on deck—namely, Kamaz trucks and, judging by the tarpaulin outlines, at least four BTR infantry fighting vehicles. (This doesn’t include any matériel that might have been stored in the ship’s below-deck cargo hold.)

===
Here you see Tiagnibok - according to his own words - being "attacked by the police" and having to defend himself against the provocations of the police.
Yeah...
And there are no Russian troops in Ukraine... Lies and lies and lies....
Understand three dead to date, and one military clinically dead in hospital afterTiagnibok's demonstration.
Not to mentions scores of military injured and in hospital - including ATO heroes.
No apology by Tiagnibok. Pravi Sector leader Dmitri Yarosh called the violence "idiotism".
Distancing himself from Tiagnibok.

This was on the news at 1830 here - tv.
Probably Russia will charge them with murder, or terrorism or something stupid. With the help of Kiselev.
And then there will be a joke trial. The verdict has already probably been written by Putin's goons.
Meanwhile Kiselev gets mega-expensive lawyers in free Europe.
Why don't his lawyers act for those oppressed in Russia?? $$$$ Lawyers don't care about justice. They just love $$$$.
====
Never trust online translations... the last sentence, using google, translates as follows...
The Russian Federal Security Service said: "At the moment Ukrainian paratroopers feel good, express a wish as soon as possible to screw in Ukraine."
В российском ФСБ отмечают: "В настоящее время украинские десантники чувствуют себя хорошо, выражают желание как можно скорее ввернуться в Украину".
It should translate as.... "soon return to Ukraine". скорее ввернуться в Украину - mistake in the russian - ввернуться = вернуться
Ukrainian soldiers - idiots basically - swimming across to "meet the russian soldiers"...

Moscow wants to impose an embargo against Ukraine

The chances that Russia will not enter the food embargo against Ukraine since 2016, is not very high.
This was stated by Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexei Ulyukayev, reports RIA "Novosti"
"Hope we have, even though the work is hard. But we still hope that we can work together to reach the result that we expect. The odds are there, but not very big "- said Ulyukayev journalists, answering the question, what is the likelihood that Russia will not impose duties prodembargo and Ukraine to January 1, 2016.
The Russian minister also said that if in respect of Ukraine will put food embargo, the list of goods that fall into it, will coincide with the EU on basic positions.

SBU blocked the funding of public institutions in the temporarily occupied territories
Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:13 pm
Security Service of Ukraine initiated the State Treasury Service of Ukraine the temporary suspension of the costs of budgetary institutions and organizations that are not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities on the territory.
As the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine, in particular, the costs blocked the national natural park "Meotida" (Novoazovsk of Donetsk region), the financing of which took place contrary to the requirements of the Budget Code of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers decree "Some issues of financing of budgetary institutions, the implementation of social payments to the population and the provision of financial support to individual businesses and organizations Donetsk and Lugansk regions. "
The SBU also reported that initiated pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings under Part. 5, Art. 191 (misappropriation, embezzlement of property or seizure of them by abusing official position) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
glavcom.ua In Russian
Not only is Russia hurting financially, but so are the terrorists in Donetsk and Lughansk. They're being squeezed as time goes on and the government won't let-up on them. The Kremlin is also tired of funding them, as we've seen in recent past. Terrorists have complained that they've been abandoned.
So IMO, Ukraine's playing their cards right. I review SBU reports on a daily basis. There are always reports of busts made, regarding funding and corruption.
Even if the west wants Ukraine to give in to Kremlin demands, Ukraine itself is going to fight their own fight. They're not going to be defeated because they're not getting the assistance they can use. It all comes down to, how much does Putin want to lose and if it's worth it. The atmosphere now seems its soon going to be up to Russians themselves. More and more reports daily on the negative sentiment towards the Kremlin. So let's see who's really going to take Putin out in the end.

Russia does not allow contact with detainees in Crimea Ukrainian paratroopers
Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:47 pm
Russia does not give Ukraine the possibility of contact with the detainees in Crimea paratroopers. This was the TV channel «112.ua» said the adviser to the head of the Security Service of Ukraine Yuriy tandem.
"We hope that Russia will fulfill its promise to return us to our children. The circumstances of their disappearance quite thoroughly investigated. We hope that in the near future from the occupied Crimea be returned to the boys. We will do everything to come back. We do not provide any contact from the temporarily occupied Crimea (with the kids).
