46 attacks by the Russians yesterday. 8 soldiers wounded.
Talk of Lutsenko as Gen Prosecutor. Kiss of death job.

Another beautiful morning, but a little cooler. Only +9 at 0900. High maybe of 16.

Opinion -
Appointing Lutsenko as Prosecutor General would be stupid.
Ukraine needs to end the cycle of politically appointed prosecutors.
Tymoshenko appointed prosecutors to attack her enemies. Yanukovich did the same. It needs to come to an end.

http://www.unian.info/kiev/1323191-kyiv-to-buy-10-trams-worth-eur-115-mln.html
=====
Each tram costs over a million euros?!
You would think Ukraine could build a good tram for half that price.
Kiev needs some new trams. I rode the 29 last week when it was raining. And - the water was coming in through the roof. I joke not.
Probably an old East German tram from 30 years ago - metal corrosion, one would assume.

More than half of Russians (58%) would like to resuscitate the Soviet Union and social system.
The results of the survey, "Levada Center", reports "Interfax".
At the same time 44% said that currently it is unrealistic. At the same time, one in three (31%) would not want to restore the Union and socialism.
More than half of Russians believe that the Soviet Union's collapse could have been avoided (51%) and regret that it happened (56%).
The share of Russians who are nostalgic for the Soviet era was the highest since November 2010, but higher than the historical maximum date rate - in December 2000 on the collapse of the USSR sorry three-quarters of Russians (75%)....

====
The social system I could understand.
Sweden, Norway, Denmark have excellent social systems. But also freedom of speech, freedom of association, and so on. Civilisation.
But the return of the USSR? Oppression of the populations of how many countries?
Perhaps this really shows how little progress has been made in Russia since Putin came to power.
The oligarchs have made billions, and the people remain poor, with even worse facilities. And poverty is growing now in Russia.

Dutch -  Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 19 April [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Ban on Mejlis brings Putin closer to Hitler – Refat Chubarov

Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:39 am
“By banning Mejlis, the Crimean Tatars assembly, Putin’s regime took another step ‘to shorten the mental distance between it and the Hitler regime,’” Chubarov wrote in Facebook Apr. 18.

“I have no questions to Putin: he behaves as brutally as the world community allows him to do.

Another thing is whether the West’s leaders realize the results of their policy of appeasement regarding Russia.

Russia’s aggression is aimed today at Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians, however, it is not difficult to say who the next victim will be – it will be your country and your people,” Chubarov warned.

Dutch -  Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 19 April [Ukrainian sources]  Empty The Once and Future Superpower

Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:13 pm
Why China Won’t Overtake the United States.

The lead package of the May/June 2016 issue of Foreign Affairs, available on ForeignAffairs.com tomorrow, deals with Russia's future. To complement the individual articles, we decided to ask a broad pool of experts for their take. As with previous surveys, we approached dozens of authorities with deep specialized expertise relevant to the question at hand, together with a few leading generalists in the field. Participants were asked to state whether they agreed or disagreed with a proposition and to rate their confidence level in their opinion; the answers from those who responded are below:

After two and a half decades, is the United States’ run as the world’s sole superpower coming to an end? Many say yes, seeing a rising China ready to catch up to or even surpass the United States in the near future. By many measures, after all, China’s economy is on track to become the world’s biggest, and even if its growth slows, it will still outpace that of the United States for many years. Its coffers overflowing, Beijing has used its new wealth to attract friends, deter enemies, modernize its military, and aggressively assert sovereignty claims in its periphery. For many, therefore, the question is not whether China will become a superpower but just how soon.

But this is wishful, or fearful, thinking. Economic growth no longer translates as directly into military power as it did in the past, which means that it is now harder than ever for rising powers to rise and established ones to fall. And China—the only country with the raw potential to become a true global peer of the United States—also faces a more daunting challenge than previous rising states because of how far it lags behind technologically. Even though the United States’ economic dominance has eroded from its peak, the country’s military superiority is not going anywhere, nor is the globe-spanning alliance structure that constitutes the core of the existing liberal international order (unless Washington unwisely decides to throw it away)................

This is the kind of scum Putin sends to Ukraine. Shooting in a park that might have children in it, or babushkas sitting to relax. As we know, Putin doesn't give a rats ass about Ukrainians. I would love to see him lynched in Dombas and have it globally broadcasted. As the Kremlin passed a law not to adhere to international law, so should Ukraine do the same, in this event.
