News -
Reading of the Russians firing 30 times at the Ukrainian forces yesterday.
But this might change. Sometimes you get separate figures for Lugansk and Donetsk.
Admin's photos yesterday of Crimea - unreal. Absolutely empty promenades.
Three years ago the place would have been swimming with people.
I also read a couple of days' ago that 47 beaches had been closed. Crimea is now a Russian military base, nothing more, and nothing less.
I suppose the old babushkas who called out "Rasseeya"  don't really care - as long as they get their pension.
But the young - they have to leave to a free Ukraine - free Europe.

Weather -
A little cool. Looks like the weather is changing a little, but that could be good.
High of 25 today. And chances of rain for the next few days - needed by the farmers, to be honest.

Learn Ukrainian! -
I love this sign on the wall in a cafe ...
"Tilki y nas" - only with us...
"Xot Dog"...
"Buritos"... and
"Sendvich "  ))
And all not bad prices - 20 hryvnia to a dollar. Pound 34.

http://www.unn.com.ua/uk/news/1476592-teroristi-30-raziv-obstrilyuvali-vsyu-liniyu-rozmezhuvannya-shtab-ato
Kiev. on 25 June. UNN. Yesterday, on June 24, in the conduct of ATO after a relative lull during the day militants pro-Russian hybrid armed groups significantly activated a little in the evening along the line of the disengagement of the parties. UNN reports with reference to the press-center of the ATO.

"The greatest situation .. near Mariupol. Our position near the Širokinim and Talakìvkoû tightly were shelled ...
Points out that Pisky and Opitnomu, Donetsk, militants struck with 120-mm mortars...
"Attacks with heavy mortars also hit Leninske and Kirov in the Artemovsk, in Ukraine- Chastye and Stanitsa Luhansk. Just during the last 24 hours there were 43 cases of application of enemy weapons, ...
In General, during the day terrorists struck 6 times on positions of Ukrainian troops. With 120-mm mortars-again by Širokinomu. With small arms and rocket-propelled grenades-Krasnogorìvcì, and Berdyansk.

[online translator often translates this "nemae" wrongly]

[Seems as if things were quiet during the Norman 4 meeting, and then after it had finished - bang.
Putin - complete control over the war. This just shows the control he has. Life and death. His weapon - probably throughout his entire life, even in his KGB days.

The following day, we meet a Belarusian nicknamed ‘Tur'. The former car mechanic packed his bags in Minsk and came to join Ukraine's Pravy Sektor volunteer battalion. He says through the binoculars, the opposing forces can be observed just several hundreds' meters away. He fears raising his head above the ground, in the knowledge Russian snipers are positioned, ready to take a shot. He said that from his point of view, the enemy is not a rag-tag group of fighters but regular Russian troops.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 25 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Rebel units reinforced by Russian troops after defeat at Marjynka

Thu Jun 25, 2015 10:32 am
Donbas rebels demoralized by their recent defeat near Marjynka are being reinforced by regular Russian troops, interior minister’s adviser Zoryan Shkiryak said, speaking on Kanal 5 June 25, UNN reports.

“The rebels lost over 400 killed and 800 wounded at Marjynka, according to Ukraine army intelligence reports and are short-staffed and in despair,” he said.

The rebels are torn by feuds and wavering. That is why Putin is sending them heavy artillery and Russian troops, Shkiryak said.

“I don’t believe the rebels can launch a full-sized offensive, but they will try to score small victories to bolster up their low morale,” he said.

Thu Jun 25, 2015 10:42 am

Stoltenberg said NATO is creating a new trust fund that will help with removing mines and detecting and destroying improvised explosive devices.

Those steps, he said, will be vital for saving lives in a conflict that has killed more than 6,500 people since April last year............

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 25 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty DW: OSCE caught in the crossfire of the Ukraine propaganda war

Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:29 pm

How can international observers maintain their credibility in the middle of an armed conflict that is accompanied by an obscene propaganda war. OSCE observers talk about their mission during the DW Global Media Forum.


From Deutsche Welle, June 24, 2015

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine has been dominating the world news for more than a year now, with hundreds of journalists reporting on fighting and refugees. There is wild speculation about Russian participation in the conflict; and Russian, Ukrainian and international media outlets often paint completely different pictures of events. There is only one group that can claim neutrality there - the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE's 400-some observers operate on both sides of the frontline - a luxury that most journalists there do not have. Public expectations for OSCE observers' reports are therefore also correspondingly high.

OSCE public relations work open, modern, cautious

Several representatives from the OSCE's observation mission spoke about how difficult it is to fulfill those expectations during DW's Global Media Forum in Bonn. Above all, they addressed issues such as how international organizations can, and must, adjust to the 247 news cycle.

It also became immediately apparent that the OSCE does not want to be seen as a dinosaur in the modern media world one speaker was tweeting from the forum, at the same time interviews with OSCE representatives were being uploaded live onto the internet. “We never miss a chance to approach the public and to talk about our work. We are open and want to prove our credibility,” says Alexander Hug, acting director of the OSCE observation mission in Ukraine.

The OSCE observation mission may be getting more aggressive about putting its content online, but tweets from journalists that have been researching on the ground are still much more popular than reports from OSCE observers. Reporters that have fastidiously collected information pointing toward a Russian military presence are especially popular.

The fact that the OSCE still cannot say definitively whether or not Russian troops are present in Eastern Ukraine, after more than a year of conflict in the Donbas region, often finds the OSCE having to justify itself. Alexander Hug says he often hears the question, “Are there Russian troops in Ukraine, or not?” However, his mandate does not allow him to make that decision. According to Hug, “We report on everything that we see People in Russian military uniforms, with Russian insignia, specific weapons systems that we then classify and order. But journalists and politicians have to come to their own conclusions.”...................

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 25 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine will submit to Stockholm lawsuit against "Gazprom" because of the low rate of transit

Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:58 pm
Ukraine tries to prove in the Stockholm arbitration, that the transit rate for pumping Russian gas to European countries unfairly undervalued. This was stated by Chief Adviser to the Chairman of the Board "Naftogaz Ukraine" Sergey Oleksienko.

"The calculation of the transit rate is conducted, based on the predicted volumes of transit which are not fulfilled Russia, and based on the prediction of long-term use of the infrastructure for pumping gas. Such a long-term perspective can not be foreseen, because it can be disrupted unilaterally by the Russian side. All this justifies our position in the Stockholm arbitration court. We believe the current low rate of transit ", - said Oleksienko.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 25 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty The expert believes that the plans for gas transit Russia to bypass Ukraine are unrealistic

Thu Jun 25, 2015 6:28 pm
Despite the claims of the termination of transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory since 2019, it is technically not feasible.

Such an opinion was expressed by President of Grant Thornton, former First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleksandr Chaly, speaking at the conference "Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the Law: Challenges and Opportunities for practical integration with the power systems of Central European countries."

"At the beginning of 2019 the volume of Russian gas that will consume the EU will not be able technically to throw Russia to the EU, bypassing the Ukrainian gas transportation system," - said the expert.

According to Chaly, "Gazprom" has long-term contracts that extend beyond 2019, with many European partners. "There will be a question, he (" Gazprom ", -" Commander in Chief ") will carry out the contracts. In my opinion, our Ukrainian and European diplomacy should give "Gazprom" and Russia to save face. Then there will be an opportunity to find common ground, "- says Chaly.

The way out of the situation, according to experts, may be transferred in terms of transmission of gas from the western borders of Ukraine to the east - on the border with Russia.

"Gazprom" announced that he would not carry out transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory. But this can make European companies ... Such a position of "Gazprom" has a chance to negotiate the transfer. And then the new operator GTS, and we think that by the time he would be, and it will be a European operator could do it. EU solidarity with Ukraine as a member of the European Energy Community, I think, makes it possible to pose the question this way, "- said Chaly.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 25 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty The Kremlin is almost ripe for surrender

Thu Jun 25, 2015 11:40 pm
As for the "treatment Solovyov."

If we discard the verbal and the visual trappings, it turns out that it is, in fact, very similar in their rhetoric, covering Ukraine by the Ukrainian authorities of the occupation of the Crimea and the occupation of Donbass.

That's very implicit admission of defeat, who's trying to apply as a victory.

Remember this? Then he will return to the Crimea. Donbass is also back. We will be very developed and they come crawling, etc. Hidden under the loud phrases impotence.


Now what Soloviev says? Yes, we do not need the Donbass. We will refund it, and they "clean up" the Ukraine, will create a guerrilla movement, all captured and will give us. We do not need to do anything, just going to wait. And proud of it.
In fact, the same.


The declaration of surrender, but filed with verbal and visual emotion that an object treatment should take it as a victory, and wait for its "deepening".

And the fact that "the author of" Stalin engaged in cosplay, should cause "subconscious pride" for the objects, hiding the real meaning of the message. And he is - to convince that what happened did not seize, not very much and wanted to capture.
So the Kremlin is almost ripe for capitulation. The main thing is not to hurry Ukraine. The later will be "the world", the conditions are more optimal.

Thu Jun 25, 2015 11:47 pm

Today's relatively quiet, except for a few clashes with the DRG, in addition to this "ultimatum" could only talk about one. Putin may have decided to accelerate the process of emerging from conflict.

A beautiful phrase "constitutional reform" is actually nothing more than a decentralization. Implementation is entering the home stretch.

And no brainer that hold elections without removal equipment - impossible. There is a certain procedure according to the Minsk Agreement. First assigned to equipment, and only after that - the elections. Monkeys perfectly aware of this. Accordingly, such "ultimatums" - manipulation. And do not be carried out on them seriously.

Putin just mouth militants hinted on accelerating the process. Sanctions are, after all, are not as "ridiculous." It is seen that the fourth packet does not want. The main thing - do not believe it ever. Stick to their line. What, in fact, make the President and the Foreign Ministry. And it's very good.

The main thing that made Europe this conflict - Gopnik and criminals can never believe. Cheating in their blood.
