Tue Jul 07, 2015 2:13 am
TUESDAY

Please scroll down to view news items added during the course of the day

News -
Word of fighting at Chastye, and Stanitsa Lugansk. Attack by Russian infantry. But forced to retreat.
No work yet on the number of attacks by the Russian forces yesterday in total.
But I have read of 26 times just yesterday evening alone.
Update - reading of 0 dead, but 3 injured soldiers yesterday.

Good news for Ukraine - looks like scumball "journalist" and 15 year Moscow resident Shaun Walker has left Ukraine, and is back home.
He can now produce his Kremlin garbage for Putin ad infinitum. - Russiaprofile now RIA Novosti journalist. Also The Guardian.
Nato saying that Putin has sent over 1000 pieces of heavy military equipment into the Donbass in the past few months.
So much for Minsk. Putin and Lavrov are liars - big time. And murderers also.

Weather -
Looks like being another hot day.
When I got up at 0600 it was 21. And it's not going to get any cooler.
I was out yesterday evening. Walked back from the mall, and it was 33 - at about 2030.
And humid. It reminds me very much of Vietnam. Do your shopping before 9 am !
By the weekend it might be a little cooler, but little sign of rain. So different from last year.

Return your underwear -
This is not a joke. Talking to some soldiers back from the ATO zone. Further mobilization - rotation taking place.
They have to  return all their clothes  - jackets, trousers, vest, and even.... underwear.
Some are disgusted by this - and you can understand why...
I also know of some guys moving quite close to the frontline. I can't mention where, for obvious reasons.
But I'll try and stay in touch with them.

For people trying to do business in Ukraine, a stable exchange rate is vital for planning.
But with Greece playing games the euro is far from stable also.
incidentally, I read that Putin phoned up the Greek PM to congratulate him on the mess he has created in Europe.
No doubt a big fat bonus in the post.

Currently exchange rates from www.xe.com

Currency             euro       pound
1 USD 1.00000   0.90722 0.64240
Inverse: 1.00000   1.10232 1.55679

1 GBP      1.55694    1.41222

I can't remember the euro this low. 1.1 dollars to a euro now.
And as for the pound. The rate used to be about 1.2, and now is 1.4 euros to one British pound.

The hryvnia more or less stable. 22 to a dollar - something like that. Up and down a little in the past two days, but nothing too much.

The bill passed Monday simplifies permit and licensing procedures for companies involved in the project, which will be managed by Stroigazmontazh (SGM). SGM is 51 percent owned by Rotenburg, a personal friend of President Vladimir Putin.
[And in the meantime? The Kerch ferry for another five years? And even then - everything travelling by road? Madness which is today's Russia.
And the roads in Crimea are simply not designed for sending all the food from Kerch across the peninsula to Simferopol and Sevastopol  - the two largest cities, I would think. ]

Well - I've said before that, for me, there is only one thing that keeps Putin in check - the oil price.
I don't think he could care less about Europe or about America. But the oil price controls his military budget.
I haven't looked at the price for a couple of days. It was around 60 dollars / barrel.
Today ... well....

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 07 July [Ukrainian sources] Empty Hoax Letter Tying U.S. Senator to Ukraine Sent to Russian Media

Tue Jul 07, 2015 11:04 am
A forger sent a hoax letter to Russian media in an apparent bid to convince journalists that a senior U.S. lawmaker, Senator Richard Durbin, was trying to tell Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk how to run his government, Durbin's office said Monday.

The hoaxer wrote to Yatsenyuk on what appeared to be U.S. Senate letterhead, claiming to be Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, a leading American voice on Ukraine-related issues who traveled to Kiev in May to discuss Russian aggression.

Ben Marter, a spokesman for Durbin, said his office had told the CIA and the FBI about the letter. Marter said he first learned about it when he was contacted by Russian state-owned media asking for comment.

The forged letter was on paper that resembled U.S. Senate stationery, but with Durbin's title wrong. The Illinois lawmaker is assistant Democratic leader, but the forged letter called him "Assistant Minority Leader."

It suggested that Yatsenyuk "invest every effort" to keep some officials in place, including the agriculture minister and the head of the country's nuclear monopoly. But it said the U.S. Senate feels some others do not have the qualities necessary for their jobs.

"Senator Durbin has been outspoken in his criticism of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and supportive of Ukrainian efforts to reform their economy and defend their nation. This letter is a forgery and was obviously written by somebody with a tenuous grasp of the English language," Marter said.

Drawing censure from Moscow, some members of Congress have been pushing President Barack Obama for a tougher response after Russia's annexation of Crimea and reports of Russian tanks and artillery crossing into Ukraine.

Last month, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress backed legislation that would authorize $300 million for Ukrainian security assistance, but specifies that half the money would be withheld unless at least 20 percent of it is spent on lethal aid for the Kiev government.

Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:04 pm
"The Republic of Bulgaria supports sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The Russian annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol violates international law, the Constitution of Ukraine and the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. Bulgaria does not recognize and will never recognize this illegal act. Bulgaria will also never recognize the results of the 'referendums', illegally organized by militants in Donetsk and Luhansk. For us, Crimea is Ukraine, and Ukraine is Europe," he said.

Plevneliev also stressed that crisis in Donbas should be settled through implementation of the Minsk agreements, and EU sanctions against Russia should be linked to fulfillment of peace accords.
"Bulgaria supports these sanctions and will act in support of Ukraine on the implementation of EU sanctions. Nobody has the right, especially in Europe, to shift the borders by force, and to occupy foreign territories," the President of Bulgaria said.
