News -
Putin's terrorists attack in the usual places, mostly around Donetsk.
Update - Lisenko briefing, said 3 Ukrainian soldiers injured yesterday in fighting.
Apparently all EU countries have now ratified the AA with Ukraine. The last three were Cyprus, Greece, and Belgium, I understand

Weather -
I woke up to rain. And it is still raining now at 9 am. And I think raining much of the night. 12 noon - still raining!
Putin's tanks would get stuck in the mud quickly I think, should they try a surprise advance across fields.
Temperature a little cooler. 3. High maybe of 6 around the capital. Warmer further east and south.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 November [Ukrainian sources] Empty Journalist blames government for siding with tycoons, not people

Sat Nov 21, 2015 4:15 pm
Nov. 21 marks two years of the beginning of the Maidan revolution in Kyiv, Mustafa Nayem, an investigative journalist and Rada lawmaker, writes on his site in Novoye vremya Nov. 21.

In the past 2 years, the regime failed to implement the promised changes in Ukraine, he says.

There were no breakthroughs, no leaders taking reformist decisions. Back in 2014, Ukrainians expected things would be different now.

Pres Poroshenko’s and Premier Yatseniuk’s major mistake was the wrong choice of partners. They relied mainly on tycoons, former Yanukovyc officials and insiders as well as thousands of officials controlled by them, Nayem says.

The pseudo removal of tycoons from power more and more looks like a clans’ war, with the government threatening tycoons with criminal investigations. However, not a single tycoon or former Yanukovych official has been imprisoned for their crimes!

Still, the big positive of the Maidan revolution is that the civil society in Ukraine is viable and growing in strength.

“Not a single reform or law can compare with this great achievement made by thousands of Ukrainians all over the country. Slowly but surely, new leaders are emerging,” Mustafa Nayem says.

According to the agency, the meeting was attended by US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. During the meeting, Western leaders stressed the need to continue to put pressure on Russia in connection with the elections in Ukraine.

"Elections in Ukraine is a challenge. We have a chance to get what we want, but if we play the card of sanctions. Financial sanctions should remain in force until the end," - said the source.
