Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 14 May [Ukrainian sources]  Empty “Myrotvorets website closure is landslide victory of Kremlin and our collective shame for aggressor’s joy,” - MP Tymchuk

Sat May 14, 2016 1:38 am
http://en.censor.net.ua/news/388362/myrotvorets_website_closure_is_landslide_victory_of_kremlin_and_our_collective_shame_for_aggressors
..."We have long been wondering why we were losing the information war. Myrotvorets closure is an eloquent answer to this question. How can we win this war when not only the agencies financed with grants from abroad, but also Ukraine's government entities that are supposed to make this campaign, destroy the volunteer projects instead - the projects that are fighting on the information front instead of the state. ...

=====
Myrotvorets published a list of journalists accredited by the terrorist organisations, DNR and LNR.
Many many journalists were unhappy about this.

The current oil price is up a bit on a month ago. 46 - 47 dollars a barrel.
But reading this morning that output is up in OPEC countries. So - hopefully the price will not rise too much - for Ukraine's sake.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 14 May [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Jailed for Protesting Against the Kremlin — Life 4 Years After Bolotnaya [Engl]

....Andrei Barabanov was dragged out of the apartment barefoot, then thrown into the back of a police van. An OMON officer's foot pressed his head down onto the floor. He remembers thinking to himself: "Andrei, you won't see your home for another four years." His calculation wasn't far off: It would be three years and seven months before he would return to his own bed.

His crime had been to participate in a protest rally several weeks earlier on central Moscow's Bolotnaya Ploshchad. The rally was the culmination of an anti-Kremlin protest movement that had gained momentum in late 2011 following disputed parliamentary elections. It spilled over into 2012, when Vladimir Putin secured a third term as president.....
