Also the sort of thing that Seamus Milne likes - he adores Putin, just like his favorite "journalist" Shaun Walker.
In Milne's case this is party based on his pathological hate for the USA.
Bizarre to me how the extreme left and the extreme right converge.

What short memories these people have. How can 29 vote against this? Dreams of the Soviet empire again?

Video shows the proceedings in parliament, and the two votes, resulting in his subsequent arrest



Frankly, he's a typical Ukrainian MP. Arrogant, corrupt, male.
I would say a good half of them are like this. Not good for Liashko though...
Here - taken away by the police -

Which one do you think?

Actually I just realised in the top photo - the guy in black... is that Liashko?!

I bet he does! Him, the judge, and a briefcase with 20,000 dollars in it probably. Normal procedure in Ukrainian courts sadly.

Online translator is funny on this one -

According to them, a military commander (VC) "DNI", which is located in the captured terrorists building a military prosecutor's office in Donetsk, with flagpoles gone all flags, including flags "DNI" Russia, as well as orange-black flag of the transition period between the "DNR" and "Novorussia".
Moreover, Donetsk residents have noticed that in early September from the territory of a military unit near the boxes located on the street. Bosse was gone all the old machinery. "There were the Urals, BMP killed tanks, tank trucks, a lot of different military equipment, which has been viewed through the fence. Yesterday disappeared. And there were no more ", - wrote the locals.
[and other observations follow)

I just checked online -
Kiev 29, Lviv 28, Zhitomir 31, Odessa 24, Vinnitsa 30, Donetsk 26. Yalta 28, Hmelnitski 31. Ivano-Frankivski 31... can't find anywhere above 31... must be somewhere..
this at 15.00 hrs. Quite toasty in some places today. Same tomorrow.
N.B. 31 = 88F

Berdichev 32C ! Also found Hmelnik (near Hmelnitski) also 32. Probably the high for Ukraine today. )
Seems the centre is warm, but the north and south extremes cooler - so Shostka - north - where my favourite cheese comes from, is 24, like Odessa, way south.

I think I could do with a job at the SBU. Choose some journalists at random, make some charges against them, collect my salary, and go to the pub. Maybe they go to the bar before they start work...
This sanctions list, definitely a candidate for "joke of the week".

As rumors about the oncoming redeployment of Donbas rebels to Syria get spread, more and more separatists desert the army not to repeat the fate of their leader Motorola whose photo with Bashar al-Assad portrait, a Syrian flag and a fresh Syrian newspaper in his hands made headlines in Donbas, informator.lg.ua reports Sept. 18.

The rumors that the announced mobilization is aimed to find volunteers to go to Syria also contributed to the panic.

According to a well-informed source in the Donetsk republic staff, the rebel troops are hit by a massive flight of servicemen from its ranks, with the strength of units shrinking several times.

The rebels increasingly say they’ve been had by Russia.

Obvious signs that Putin's plans in eastern Ukraine aren't going well at all. Now they're Putin terrorists for hire to go to Syria. OR! They're no longer being supported by the Kremlin as before and they're going where the money is.

We all know their Kremlin support has been dwindling. Also reading reports that the terrorists are fighting against the Russian (Kremlin) terrorists. These aren't good signs for the little dwarf.

Now with the Kremlin jumping in head first in Syria, it'll stretch their funding even thinner. I just hope the west doesn't drop the ball and offer Russia in Syria any assistance as that'll save the Kremlin money and give the Kremlin a better chance at victory which we all know the dwarf badly needs back home. It'll also extend it's involvement within Ukraine.
