I still haven't heard anything about today's troop losses. Although one report posted below already says that there have been losses .
Putin - no change. Keeping up the pressure - trying to create some influence through bullying - militarily speaking. Very primitive mind.
I have read of 86 times firing on the borderline. By the Russians.

Weather -
It is supposed to be getting a little cooler, but this morning - seems pleasant. Warm. 22 at 11.00.
But quite windy. No rain now again for a few days. Perhaps a chance tomorrow.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty NATO believes that the Kremlin is not going to stop aggression in the Donbas

Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:06 am
The Kremlin is not going to stop the aggression in the Donets Basin, on the contrary, increases the amount of Russian weapons on the border with Ukraine. This was stated by the commander of the armed forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe Philip Breedlove.

Breedlove emphasizes that the border between Ukraine and the aggressor country is open, it provides opportunities for free movement of soldiers and military equipment.

According to him, the number of weapons on the border in recent years has not changed, but there is every indication that Russia collects military resources - "up to the level corresponding to the military operations."

He once again drew attention to the fact that the militants are supported from the Donbass RF, training of Russian specialists and "ready to do everything in the Donbass, which they will be asked."

He also said that information of the threats from armed militants to demonstrators in the downtown of Donetsk on June 15 is confirmed. The people demanded to stop deployment of heavy weapons and personnel of the illegal armed gangs in residential areas, for this poses a threat for civilians.

As reported earlier, on June 24 Kyiv Appeal Court Head Anton Chernushenko was notified by Prosecutor's Office of criminal charges he was facing. Prosecutor General Shokin addressed the Rada to allow arrest and detainment of the judge.

Chernushenko is suspected of committing crimes under part 2 article 376-1 (illegal interference with automated system of document flow of the court) and part 2 article 375 (passing of knowingly illegal sentences) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

A search in one of the houses of the head of the Kyiv Appeal Court revealed weapons and ammunition (without permission), a court order marked 'confidential,' documents for use of significant amounts of funds for construction, fuel coupons, and other.

In Chernushenko's text messaging that went public, there are requests (orders) on what decisions should be made in certain cases, with referral to names of persons involved in the cases.

Drugs, guns and bribery Russian crime rate on the rise as volunteer fighters return from eastern Ukraine [in English]
https://meduza.io/en/feature/2015/06/25/drugs-guns-and-bribery
Last year in November, three senior lieutenants from Russia’s traffic police were killed near a town called Perepechino just outside of Moscow. They had stopped an SUV, and the people in the car had opened fire. The killers took the police car’s video camera and fled the scene. A search was announced. It turned out that all of them had participated in fighting alongside the separatists in eastern Ukraine, and none of them have been apprehended.

Incidentally scumball "journalist" for RIA Novosti / Guardian Walker is back in Donetsk. Not good news for Ukraine or the free world.
He is both intelligent and a propagandist, who has lived in Moscow for 15 years. He is often called "Russia's favourite journalist".

[This is a good article. Not by scumball Walker, of course. Quite long. A lot of detail.
It looks like Putin is locking up the criminals he let out of jail to fight in Ukraine as soon as they arrive back in Russia. On any charge.]

In Russia, the scandal: Now Putin in the Kremlin and at the same time in the Altai
http://replyua.net/news/putin/8537-v-rossii-skandal-putin-seychas-v-kremle-i-na-altae-odnovremenno.html
Russian media have recorded the simultaneous presence of Russian President Putin, in two places.
Currently, the site of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation holds the live broadcast of the meeting of the president in the Kremlin with members of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. The event is dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the Chamber. At the same time in the Altai media reported that the president is now at his dacha in the Altai, where witnesses saw him. Putin arrived a few days ago in the Gorno-Altaisk airport. The plane the president was accompanied by five different types of boards. Typically the president travels around the country accompanied by several boards. Thus, it was reported that Putin is now in the Altai and in the Kremlin at the same time. We have already repeatedly appeared information that Putin several doubles.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty U.S. Rights Report Slams IS Militants, Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Among Others (PHOTO)

Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:03 am
Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] EC983950-BDE0-4B36-A45C-A75BAA6195B9_w640_r1_s_cx0_cy9_cw0

In a new report, the U.S. State Department strongly criticizes Islamic State (IS) militants -- as well as the Russian, Iranian, and Azerbaijani governments -- for human rights abuses.

The 2014 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, released on June 25, says one of the most notable trends of the year was the brutality of IS militants in Syria and Iraq against the Yezidi minority, Christians, Turkomans, Shabak, Shi'a, and Sunni Muslims who did not conform to their extremist views.

At the same time, the report noted the Iraqi government's inability to rein in abusive and criminal actions by pro-government Shi'a militia fighters in the so-called Popular Mobilization Committees that helped government troops battle against IS militants.

"The message at the heart of these reports is that countries do best when their citizens fully enjoy the rights and freedoms to which they are entitled," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in presenting the report in Washington. "This is not just an expression of hope, this is a reality and it has proven out in country after country around the world."

"Now we understand that some governments may take issue with these reports, including such extreme cases as North Korea or Syria, but also some governments with whom we work closely may also object," he continued. "But I want to say something about that and I think it is important: The discomfort that these reports sometimes cause does more to reinforce than to undermine the value and the credibility of these reports."

Russia

Russia's government came in for strong criticism not only for abuses within Russia's border but for its annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea and its role supporting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

The report describes Russia's political system as "increasingly authoritarian" with "a range of new measures to suppress dissent within its borders."

It says Russian authorities "selectively employed the law on 'foreign agents,' the law against extremism, and other means to harass, pressure, discredit, and/or prosecute individuals and entities that had voiced criticism of the government."

It says Russia's government also continued to use laws against extremism to prosecute some religious minorities, and that it adopted several discriminatory laws against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons.

The report highlighted what it called a "growing recognition" of links between corruption, human rights abuses, and repressive governments -- saying corruption in Russia was "widespread throughout the executive, legislative, and judicial branches at all levels of government."

It also criticized the persecution in Crimea by "Russian occupation authorities" of the ethnic Tatar community, certain religious minorities, and others who opposed the occupation -- noting that many were forced to flee the peninsula.

It said Russian forces and Russian-backed separatists also shelled urban areas and committed "numerous other gross human rights abuses" in eastern Ukraine, including killings and abductions.....................

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Loss of Ukrainian Churches Will Render ‘Russian World’ Idea Purely Militant Nationalism

Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:07 am
The Soviet state did not create a civil society, Falikov argues. Instead, it statified all social groups and formed what many from Sergey Bulgakov on have called a pseudo-religion on its own.

By Paul Goble* for “Windows on Eurasia”:

The Moscow Patriarchate’s looming loss of control over bishoprics and congregations in Ukraine to a new autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church will deprive Vladimir Putin’s “Russian world” idea of any religious content and transform it into little more than an aggressive form of nationalism, according to Boris Falikov.

In the course of a wide-ranging interview to TV-2 in Tomsk recently, Boris Falikov, a leading specialist on religion at the Russian State Humanities University, says that if as appears likely the Russian Orthodox Church “loses Ukraine and the Ukrainian church, it will cease to be the largest Orthodox church” (religiopolis.org/religiovedenie/9172-boris-falikov-tomsk.html).

That will be “a blow” to Patriarch Kirill and his hierarchy, but it will have a broader meaning for Russia as well: “The idea of ‘a Russian world’ has been converted from a theological to an ideological concept already” and is on its way to becoming part of a militant, irredentist ideology.”

Consequently, any possibility that the Russian Church will be in a position to restrain the Russian state will be lost – up to now, Falikov suggests, the Church has a vital interest in not doing anything that will lead to the loss of its control over bishoprics and parishes abroad – and that will open the door to even greater dangers ahead.

Falikov’s comments on this outcome come in the course of his discussion of the misuse of the word “secularization” in the Russian context. As he notes, many, including himself, call what is occurring in Russia “the clericalization of society, but this term has been borrowed from the Catholics and requires clarification when applied to Russia.”

What is happening in Russia now, he argues, is different from and worse than clericalization in the usual sense: it is a combination of the state with the church in ways that “will not lead to anything good either for the state or for the church.” The reason for that is that the third element usually present in other countries – a civil society – is absent in Russia..................

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia Is Biggest Force Against Democracy In Eurasia, Report Finds

Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:10 am
Despite Russia's attempts to intervene in Ukraine and the collapse of its own democracy rating, Ukraine managed to spur a big jump of four notches in its rating, thanks to the collapse of Viktor Yanukovych’s corrupt presidency and two rounds of well-administered, competitive elections, the report found.

By Patrice Hill and Ron Synovitz for RFE/RL, June 23, 2015

Russia saw its biggest loss of democracy in a decade last year, while it and other authoritarian states took aggressive action to block efforts to form new democracies elsewhere in Europe and Eurasia, a new report by Freedom House finds.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's moves to annex Crimea and back separatists in eastern Ukraine waging civil war against Kyiv had a cascading effect of stifling democracy at home and snuffing out freedom and democratic achievements in neighboring regimes, said the U.S.-based watchdog group in its annual Nations In Transit report, which monitors the democratic development of 29 nations from the former Soviet Union, Balkans, and Central Europe.

Russia has been at the center of Freedom House’s narrative, as regards Eurasia, for a number of years, the report's author, Sylvana Habdank-Kolaczkowska, told RFERL, but last year Russia's disruptive influence grew exponentially because of the escalation of Russia’s aggression internationally and the new forms that it took.”.....................

"It's very important that Donbas representatives take part in developing these constitutional amendments… It's very important that numerous polls support our idea of complete unacceptability of the federalization. After these constitutional amendments on decentralization, Ukraine will remain a unitary state. And that's why we can't have any compromises," Poroshenko said at a meeting of the Constitutional Commission in Kyiv on Friday.

According to Poroshenko, decentralization will be 'a shot from totalitarianism.'.......

Getting permission, and running the route are two different things.
Also - they might just run many of the routes for summer tourists. And then shut shop in the winter.

As a result of the terrorist attack in Tunisia wounded citizen of Ukraine - MFA (Day)
http://www.day.kiev.ua/uk/news/260615-vnaslidok-teraktu-u-tunisi-poranena-gromadyanka-ukrayiny-mzs

[If you've been watching the news, terrible attack on tourists at hotel by the Med in Tunisia. Maybe 30 dead.
Actually, the last time I had a holiday in Tunisia I flew from Ukraine.
I've stayed in Sousse before also - where this attack took place  - and visited the town 2 years' ago.
In fact, i've just looked at a map, and realised that I stayed just up the coast from Sousse, before Monastir.
There's a nice little railway that runs further along the coast from Sousse. To Monastir, and beyond, I think. Stops at the airport also.
There are several larger trains a day that run between Sousse and Tunis. (which I've taken also).
Very sad. The people are fairly poor, and need tourist money. Obviously that's why the tourists were targeted. Destroy the economy.
Putin tactics.

Russia changed its mind to stop the transit of gas through Ukraine after 2019 (ATN)
http://atn.ua/politika/rossiya-peredumala-prekrashchat-tranzit-gaza-cherez-ukrainu-posle-2019-goda
Russia is no longer said that the transit of gas through Ukraine will be stopped after 2019, when the current contract ends.
"When the contract is terminated, we negotiations with our Ukrainian talks on the transit contract spend. We have in this regard is the direct instructions of President Vladimir Putin," - said at a press conference the head of "Gazprom" Alexey Miller.
A month ago, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia is likely to abandon the gas transit through Ukraine after 2019 in favor of other, not yet constructed gas pipeline routes, and that the current transit contract will not be extended.

[The Gazprom idiots keep messing around - or Putin is messing them around.
And now the EU has signed an agreement with Algeria - more gas. Gazprom - losing their markets. Bit by bit, year by year.
Putin slowly destroying Russia. Singlehandedly.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty German court refused bail banker "family" Yanukovych

Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:02 pm
On Friday, June 26, Higher Regional Court of Brandenburg granted the request of the Prosecutor's Office of extradition arrest Ukrainian banker Boris Tymonkin. The court based its decision on an increased risk of escape of the suspect.

Thus, Timonkin will come bail and remain in jail in Cottbus, where he was placed after detention at the airport Berlin Schoenefeld .

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin wants to extend transit contract with Ukraine, Gazprom CEO says

Fri Jun 26, 2015 4:47 pm
Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to hold talks with Ukraine on the extension of contract on the Russian gas transit through the country after 2019.

Head of Gazprom Alexey Miller said at a press conference, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.

He stressed that Gazprom does not refuse to hold those talks but the company is not satisfied with the terms for the Russian gas transit. "We will never sign a contract for the transit on unfavorable, unfair, unacceptable conditions for us," Miller said. He noted that Naftogaz wants to raise the rate of transit from the current $2.7 to $5 per thousand cubic meters per 100 km.

censor.net.ua: In Russian

In my opinion, I think Ukraine should hold off till the end of the contract period arrives. If they're asking for talks, that would be an indication that Ukraine's holding the ace and Gazprom doesn't want them to use it, so they want to talk now and get Ukraine locked in again.

2019 is four years down the road. Plenty of time for Ukraine to find other sources and avoid being beholden to the Kremlin's manipulation by holding gas supplies over its head, as they do to the rest of Europe. It is a weapon that should be minimized by Europe in whole.

If Gazprom didn't need Ukraine's income they're currently getting, they cut Ukraine off now. All the threats about cutting Ukraine off is bully talk. Can they do without Ukraine's income? China's supplies from Gazprom is at least a couple of years down the road, if that doesn't fold. I posted an earlier article stating four European countries increasing their supplies by way of Algeria. It they can do it and Algeria can deliver, so can other European countries, including Ukraine.

So! I hope Ukraine thinks about this offer to have talks and continue to hold that ace card till and if it's needed.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Estonian Defense Chief: NATO Must 'Neutralize' Putin's 'Perceived' Advantage

Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:26 pm
Estonia's defense chief has welcomed the U.S. decision to preposition military equipment in the Baltics and other countries on the eastern edge of the alliance, saying that a strong presence is required to diminish the potential threat of a Russian attack.

Estonian Defense Minister Sven Mikser spoke to RFE/RL following a visit on June 21 from U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, who announced the United States would store enough tanks, fighting vehicles, and other weapons to supply either a company of about 150 soldiers or a battalion of about 750 in each of six countries: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland. Some of the equipment would also be located in Germany.

"The announcement by Secretary Carter of prepositioning equipment in Eastern Europe is truly significant," Mikser, Estonia's defense chief since March 2014, told RFE/RL in a telephone interview on June 25.

Estonia and the other Baltic states would prefer a permanent troop presence -- something that would anger Russia more -- and this spring jointly asked NATO to deploy a brigade, some 5,000 troops, to their territory. But Mikser expressed gratitude for the current setup and the new plans.

"We do have a rotating American presence of uniformed troops in Estonia and in the other Baltic countries, and we are thankful for that as well," Mikser said. "We believe that it's important that in this new security environment, where the warning time of any potential crisis has been reduced to virtually zero, that allies be present all the time."......................

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Friday 26 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ogryzko explained why a conversation between Obama and Putin

Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:38 pm
US President needed to hear with my own ears that says Putin.

This was stated by the ex-Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ogryzko.

"Of course, they have enough problems - I do not think that one single subject was the cause of this conversation. After all, there are several points of contact in Russian-American relations, which, in the opinion of Americans, should involve Russia. As for Ukraine - Americans see that the situation is not improving because of the position of the Russian Federation. Especially as some hot Russian head start to openly blackmail the West military aggression. In such circumstances, of course, necessary contact. It is something like the "red phone", which was once used to understand what is happening to relieve the tension that can turn into nasty stuff. I think this is such a case. US President needed to hear with my own ears that tell Putin because the statements heard around him, menacing sound "- he said.
