Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Wednesday 10 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Wednesday 10 June [Ukrainian sources]

Wed Jun 10, 2015 12:31 pm
WEDNESDAY

Please scroll down to view news items added during the course of the day

News -
Sad. Read that 8 soldiers died yesterday.
7 killed together in a landmine blast. Putin and Russian's legacy to Ukraine.
Who will ever want to be close to Russia again? Nobody.
Russia has brought death, death and death to Ukraine.
Ronald Reagan once described Russia as "an evil empire". I see absolutely no reason to disagree with this judgement.
I read also that Obama came out with a nice statement about Putin seeking to revive the Soviet empire.
His rhetoric is becoming stronger. Which is to be welcomed. Arms would be of more use, of course.

Weather -
20C at the moment at 0900. 26 Predicted. A little cooler than of late. Blue sky and strong sunshine as usual.
Ukraine needs some rain, but none in the immediate forecast.

Observation -

Lots and lots of cars from Donetsk now in Kiev. Thousands upon thousands.
Why? They don't want to get killed by Putin, or have all that they have worked for stolen by Russian criminals sent in by Putin and his goons.
Most of the AH reg cars are quite expensive. This one was more moderate....  Also several BB reg. That's Lugansk.

Ukraine conflict: Separatists 'ready to stay in Ukraine' as violence continues
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/11663511/Ukraine-conflict-Separatists-ready-to-stay-in-Ukraine-as-violence-continues.html
Eight Ukrainian servicemen were killed fighting with Russian-backed separatists in 24 hours on Tuesday, a military spokesman said.
Seven of the soldiers were killed when their vehicle was blown up by a landmine near the separatist stronghold of Donetsk, Andriy Lisenko said at a briefing in Kiev.


Putin's trip to Rome underscores Russia's special relationship with Italy
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/10/vladimir-putin-russia-trip-rome-italy
Vladimir Putin might not have been welcome at the G7 meeting of world leaders in Germany this week, but when he touches down in Milan on Wednesday, the Russian president is likely to receive a far warmer welcome than he would in any of the other large EU countries.
[The Italian scumballs have always had a strong fascist leaning - they supported Adolf Hitler in 1939.
And now, in 2015, they support the Russian dictator, Putin, who is killing thousands and thousands in Ukraine.
Such is Italy today - scumballs, just like the Greeks.

Russian Reversal on Ruble Fooling No One as Dollar Buying Paused
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-09/russia-s-flip-flop-on-ruble-fooling-no-one-as-dollar-buying-ends
Six months after announcing a free-floating exchange rate, Russia halted this year’s biggest currency rally by buying dollars every day from May 13. As the ruble then depreciated to levels that risked accelerating inflation last week, analysts from Citigroup Inc., Rabobank and Renaissance Capital said the bank would halt its purchases. On Friday, it did just that.

[Fixing the Ruble at a level between 50 and 60 to a dollar.
The hryvnia I think now is also fixed at between 20 and 22 to a dollar.

Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Wednesday 10 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Delivery men of a gang of bank robbers carrying "laundered" money arrested with employment of weapons in Kyiv’s downtown, - Avakov. PHOTOS

Wed Jun 10, 2015 1:10 pm
Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told the details of the shootout that took place in the city center. The detainees were transporting half a million hryvnia in their car.

Censor.NET reports citing Arsen Avakov's page on Facebook.

He wrote: "The shooting in the city center was aimed to make the tires of the vehicle, which was trying to escape, flat - a last resort measure which was necessary today. The swindlers, a criminal group delivery boys, were trying to make their lucky - escape being caught red-handed, struggled on arrest but were blocked and detained by the police special forces operatives in Kyiv's downtown. And yes, the weapons and force has been employed but there will be no different treatment for criminals who have got pretty brazen of late!

"Here are some details about the nature of the operation. We are talking about exposure of the gang suspected of fraud of funds in the amount of 169,800,000 hryvnia (about $8,086,000) from the "Prime Bank" as well as the organization of money laundering through bogus firms with a turnover of about 1,5 billion (!) hryvnia (about $71,430,000). The detention of the delivery men, who were delivering "laundered" money throughout Kyiv has taken place today.

"Weapons and 500,000 hryvnia (up to $24,000) were found in the car. The delivery boys have been apprehended. There are searches in the bank and another eight places of the gang members' activity. Much larger amounts of money are being seized and the participants of the criminal scheme are being detained. This joint operation of the Interior Ministry and Prosecutor General's Office will be covered later in more detail. I am informing you now so that you do not worry about the reasons of shooting and the detention. It was skillful and accurate detention. It will be a lesson for embezzlers and impudent thugs swimming near fixers with big money embezzled from the state. The money will be returned to the budget and the swindlers will go to jail!" the minister wrote.

Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Wednesday 10 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine disagrees with Russia's demand to allow terrorists' representatives to take part in trilateral consultations - Kuchma

Wed Jun 10, 2015 2:22 pm
Russia insists on widening of the trilateral consultations format by including the terrorists' representatives from "DPR" and "LPR".

The second President of Ukraine, representative of Ukraine at the trilateral contact group on settlement of the conflict in the Dondas Leonid Kuchma said, Censor.NET informs citing Interfax-Ukraine.

"Do you know what Russia insists on? They want the format to be not trilateral as agreed by the leaders of the Normandy format. They want a Trilateral group to be extended by representatives of separate areas of the Donbas. We cannot agree with that," Kuchma told the journalists on Wednesday in Kyiv.

He stressed that representatives of the "DPR" and "LPR" should take part in the consultations "not as persons being entitled to vote but as consultants. We are carrying out wide negotiation process with them, but the decisions should be taken by the different people," Kuchma said.

According to him, this is going to be one of major issues at the forthcoming meeting of the "Normandy four" in Paris at the level of deputy foreign ministers. "We are going to hear today whether Russia will change its position. I am sure it will be one of the main problems there. It is difficult to predict what instructions has the representative of Russia been given," Kuchma added.

He also believes that the deterioration of the situation in the east of Ukraine was "to some extent" related to such Russia's position concerning the trilateral consultations. "It is connected not only to the situation in Minsk, it is also related to the G7 summit, it is associated with the fact that the EU summit, where the problems of sanctions to be discussed, should take place shortly," Kuchma said.
According to him, Russia is making a message: "We will behave the same way as before regardless of the sanctions." "We all clearly understand that all those sanctions will never change the position of Russia. Their reserves are still very large and they will get through. It is more difficult for Europe to get through than for Russia," he summed up.

Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Wednesday 10 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Jeb Bush seeks stronger U.S. steps against Putin

Wed Jun 10, 2015 3:03 pm
At some point, Bush is going to have to decide if he really wants to counter Russian aggression or if he wants to keep temporizing as he seemed to be doing in Germany. As of today, Sen. Lindsay Graham’s campaign for the GOP nomination for president seems to be gaining ground with a lot of people who are tired of waffling on the U.S. response to Russian empire building.


From the Military Times

By Thomas Beaumont, the Associated Press, June 9, 2015

BERLIN — Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush is warning Russia that if he becomes president, the U.S. will step up its actions to counter Vladimir Putin's aggression, especially in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and seek to isolate his corrupt leadership from his people.

In his first foreign speech of the 2016 campaign, Bush criticized what he called dramatic declines in U.S. military spending, suggesting that has undercut credibility as Washington and its allies confront threats in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Putin, he said, must know in advance that there will be consequences to his actions, because he is a ruthless pragmatist who will push until someone pushes back.

Bush addressed a major economic conference in Berlin and took questions from the audience as part of a trip that precedes his planned announcement in Miami on Monday that he is running for the 2016 nomination. He's also visiting former Eastern bloc countries Poland and Estonia.

Without many specifics, Bush called for the deepening of economic and security ties with eastern European nations, vulnerable to Russian meddling. Russia must respect the sovereignty of all of its neighbors, Bush said. But as NATO confronts crisis, he said, it must do so in a way that does not push Russia away for another generation.
