News:
46 attacks by Putin on Ukraine. Update - 4 soldiers wounded.
Since the French senate backed Putin, and he also met with the Greek PM he has grown in confidence, and realised he can up the war again without any consequences whatsoever from the scum in western Europe, many of whom are undoubtedly on his payroll. Gasprom shares probably.

Weather:
Warmer this morning again. 17 at 0900. Sunshine. Some light clouds.

Footie:
Euro2016 starts this evening. Ukraine's first game is on Sunday against World Champions Germany.
You can't get any harder than that.

Diplomats had feared the move would spark a major political battle between states such as Hungary, Greece and Italy, which favour a rethink on sanctions, and the more hawkish states, including Poland and the Baltic countries, which want the regime to continue, The Financial Times reports...

Deliberate effort to blind OSCE SMM intended to conceal from international community buildup of combined Russian-separatist forces in eastern Ukraine - Baer
http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/349263.html
...."Within a single week, combined Russian-separatist forces shot down the SMM's two long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) near Horlivka... Combined Russian-separatist forces also sabotaged OSCE cameras outside of Donetsk, which are critical to monitoring volatile hot spots like the area between Avdiyivka and Yasynuvata, and they have refused to allow the SMM access to fix them. OSCE reporting confirms that combined Russian-separatist forces are responsible for over 80% of the SMM access restrictions, especially in hotspots like Avdiyivka and along Ukraine's border with Russia. This deliberate effort to blind the SMM is intended to conceal from the international community the buildup of combined Russian-separatist forces in eastern Ukraine, the advanced Russian weaponry these forces have in their arsenal, and the military personnel and materiel that regularly cross the border from Russia into Ukraine," Baer said at the OSCE Permanent Council on June 9, according to the press service of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.....

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 10 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Details on the long delayed "free visa" regime

Fri Jun 10, 2016 4:11 am
As a returning visa: details about why and how long delayed visa regime, it was officially confirmed that the "true European" reported in the last month, "according to sources."
http://www.eurointegration.com.ua/articles/2016/06/10/7050556/
June 10 at a planned meeting in Luxembourg, the EU Council at the Head of Ukrainian Interior Ministry to discuss visa-free regime, but ... has not taken any decision. The issue simply is not put to the vote.
As a result, in summer 2016 the EU will not introduce a visa regime for citizens of Ukraine. The most optimistic option is now autumn.
And, despite the statements of European officials, it is - not a "technical delay" and political.
And here is that the EU currently does not told us "no." The political decision on visa-free travel for Ukraine, no one questions the.
This option is now not even discussed.
But this does not mean that we can rest easy.
Three months ago, few imagined the current problems - apparently, we are at the finish line and in August we can forget about the visa. But the "new circumstances" ...
Just now, unfortunately, there are scenarios in which our prospects could be even worse. And perhaps the biggest danger in these scenarios comes from ... Ukraine itself.
Therefore, details on today's "schedules", the reasons and key threat - in "European truth."


===
My guess was 01 September. But... that is looking unlikely now.
They will certainly resist any vote until after the British EU referendum.

Ukraine’s visa-free travel to EU delayed - WSJ
http://www.unian.info/politics/1371462-ukraines-visa-free-travel-to-eu-delayed-wsj.html
...Bloc’s biggest member states raise new concerns over the issue of granting Ukraine, Georgia and Kosovo the visa-free regime, pushing the approval to September at the earliest, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Germany is reported to be concerned about organized crime by Georgian gangs, while France is worried that the visa waivers could create new security vulnerabilities at a time of heightened terror fears.  Other countries have also slowed down approval. Italy and France have said a decision should await the approval of new rules which will make it easier to suspend visa-free regimes in case of abuse. The European Parliament is only expected to formally back the changes in September....

This will put more pressure on western leaning Ukrainian politicians. And make Ukraine more unstable.
But looking east - to Putin - is no longer attractive. Putin has burnt the bridges.
Ukraine is being left on its own. European promises are fading to dust. ...

Georgia, Kosovo, Ukraine’s Visa-Free Access to EU Delayed
http://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-kosovo-ukraines-visa-free-access-to-eu-delayed-1465486485
....On Thursday, Mykola Tochytskyi, Ukraine’s ambassador to the EU, said he hoped EU governments and the parliament would formally approve Kiev’s visa bid by early autumn at the latest.
He warned however that any further delays and linking Ukraine’s bid with others would hurt the EU’s credibility. That will add to domestic pressure on the government when it is trying to push difficult legislation through parliament connected to its economic program and the Minsk peace agreement with Russia.
“It’s very difficult to explain at home…why we should be linked to other countries for purely political reasons,” Mr. Tochytskyi said. “The key issue is not to stop this process (of approval).”....

"Of course, these aggressive actions couldn't but affect our economic positions," the president said.

However, the situation has changed today and we have a positive dynamics. "In the first quarter of 2016, for the first time in 14 quarters, we observe the economic growth. We are confident that this trend will be continued, because we have a growth in foreign investment and attract new investors," Petro Poroshenko noted.
