SATURDAY

Please scroll down to view news items added during the day

News:
30 attacks by Putin's forces on Ukraine yesterday. Update - 5 soldiers wounded.

Weather:
Warm again, but cloudy. Strange after the heat of yesterday. 20 at 0900.
I noticed 34 at Ivano Frankivsk yesterday on the news. Toasty. Update - 28 at 1600.

Footie:
I didn't realise that Ukraine are actually out of Euro 2016. They can't get into 3rd place, even if they beat Germany 20-0.
Heads to heads count in the case of ties. Another match with fighting last night. Also flares on pitch. Croatia...

Savchenko:
Opinion. I think she is running for President.
She is on tv every night - and, at the moment, those interviewing her are giving her a nice time.
She is also heading to the EU capitals for talks. But who precisely does she represent?
Batkivshina don't know what to do with her now. Tymoshenko wants to be president, but Savchenko is far more popular than Tymoshenko - currently.
Savchenko was talking about Putin. She said that Putin knows no borders. For him, any country is free game, territory he can conquer.
She also said that more sanctions need to be brought in. Not fewer. Much that she says is common sense.

Podcast: Baltic Memory And Russian Denial



http://www.rferl.org/content/podcast-memory-and-denial/27805164.html

The great Brian Whitmore back from his brief vacation.

...On June 14, 1941 -- less than two years after the Soviet Union signed a secret pact with Nazi Germany to carve up Europe and one year after the U.S.S.R. invaded the Baltic states -- the mass deportations of Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians began.
More than 40,000 people, a quarter of them children, were rounded up at gunpoint, stuffed into cattle cars, and forcefully exiled to Siberia.
Among the deportees were the three nations' best and brightest; their top political, business, and civic leaders.
Fewer than half returned home alive.
The anniversary of the Baltic deportations was solemnly marked this week in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius as well as in Europe and North America.
But in Moscow, this dark chapter of World War II has been tossed into the historical memory hole....

Sat Jun 18, 2016 1:29 pm
Nineteen kilometers long, the dual road-rail bridge is set to connect Crimea with the Krasnodar region, making the disputed peninsula accessible by car and train directly from Russia. The long-awaited transport miracle is scheduled for completion in 2018.

Comparisons with the grandeur of the Baikalo-Amur Mainline, a gigantic construction project from Soviet times, are in line with how President Vladimir Putin sees the new Kerch bridge — something to land him in history textbooks.

However, the very ambitiousness of the project has meant it has come accompanied by doubts and debate. From the very beginning, the project seemed too expensive, too complicated, too unnecessary, and likely to fail. Earlier this month, the first alarm bell rang, as reports surfaced that construction companies that work on the bridge and belong to Putin's closest ally Arkady Rotenberg stopped receiving necessary state funding...........
