TUESDAY

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

News -
I read that the leader of the OSCE in Shirokino was injured by fire - mortar. Taken to hospital, later released.
I presume he will report that there is no ceasefire there. Unless he is a Russian observer.
Attacks by Putin - seem to be on the increase. Not sure exactly of the figures below. Says 82 + 30 in the evening = 112 attacks.
Over 100 - Putin is upping the war again.

Weather -
Raining! Unreal. I cannot remember the last time I woke up in Ukraine and it was really raining.
And it has been raining now for over 2 hours. It should help the apple and pear trees, sweetcorn, melons, I hope.
A bit cool. About 15C. High of 24 or so predicted. But rain maybe for several hours yet.

Julie Bishop delivers blunt message to Russia on MH17 investigation [in English]
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/julie-bishop-delivers-blunt-message-to-russia-on-mh17-investigation-20150728-giltf0.html
But it's a massive task, given it is regarded as all but certain [despite their denials] that it was Russian-backed separatist rebels who fired the deadly Buk surface to air missile while in occupied Ukrainian territory.
And there's a Putin-sized problem in the way, too.
On the eve of the UN hearing that will decide whether the families who lost loved ones will see justice, Russia and its allies are again being obstructionist.
Ms Bishop had a blunt message for Russia as she arrived in New York early on Tuesday morning, Australian time.
"We cannot allow a veto in the United Nations Security Council to avoid justice," she said.


[I think almost certain Putin will veto everything to do with MH17. He's not going to put himself in jail. ]

Rebel Infighting Bringing Chaos to East Ukraine [in English]
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/rebel-infighting-bringing-chaos-to-east-ukraine/526305.html
Last Tuesday morning Yelena Filippova, secretary to the head of Ukraine's self-proclaimed People's Republic of Donetsk (DPR), Alexander Zakharchenko, was badly injured when her car exploded as she drove to work. That afternoon, a prominent DPR politician was shot and wounded on one of the main streets of the city. With evening came fragmentary reports that a military building in central Donetsk had been blockaded by troops.
Then a senior military officer told interviewers that the DPR Defense Ministry had been "abolished." Throughout all this, Zakharchenko remained silent and invisible.


[Quite a good article. Why oh why can't we get something like this from Shaun Walker? He spends weeks with his beloved "DNR" guys, and then says nothing, other than that the Donetsk opera is still working. Scumball Walker. ]

Oil price continues to fall
47 for WTI. 53 for Brent.
Russian crude is priced just a little below Brent. This has to be a real headache now for Putin.
I don't really know the reasons for the latest fall, but it may be linked to the fall in the Chinese stockmarket of 10%.
If the Chinese enconomy stagnates, then demand for oil will necessarily slow, one would assume.
And add to that the insecurity now in World markets. I noticed the FTSE 100 was down over 1% again yesterday.

BUT - this is all good news for Ukraine. It will help control inflation. And reduce gas prices also in the winter.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Fenerbahce: A tale of two clubs at crossroads of Europe [in English]
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/shakhtar-donetsk-vs-fenerbahce-a-tale-of-two-clubs-at-crossroads-of-europe-10420199.html
Now, though, Shakhtar are homeless, broken and shorn of their stars. The war in Ukraine has damaged their stadium and their hopes of joining Europe’s football elite. This evening Mircea Lucescu’s weary side – no longer champions of Ukraine – play Fenerbahce in the Champions League third qualifying round,
....Their two best players, Luiz Adriano and Douglas Costa, have been sold to Milan and Bayern Munich this summer.

[Important game. But I think Shakhtar are now underdogs. I didn't realise they had sold Adriano. .. ]

This from a Russian news source
===

Пятая часть россиян поддержала позицию Путина о трибунале по «Боингу»
One-fifth of Russians supported Putin's position on the Tribunal for "Boeing"
https://slon.ru/posts/54472
One fifth part (19%) of Russians supported the position of the Russian authorities, who oppose the creation of an international tribunal for downed in Donbass "Boeing", according to a survey conducted by "Levada Center", reports "Interfax".
Nearly half (47%) of survey participants expressed support for the creation of the tribunal, and 34% of respondents were unable to determine the answer to the question.

[And this, despite all Putin's propaganda that Ukraine shot MH17 down, or maybe Obama in a Cessna.
Or perhaps the vote is because they believe the propaganda?!
An unusual story for the Russian press. Only 1 in 5 agree with Putin... ]

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 28 July [Ukrainian sources] Empty U.S. Slams Russia's 'Unpredictable, Irresponsible' Actions In Ukraine

Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:23 am
The United States says Russia "continues to fuel the conflict" in Ukraine despite a cease-fire agreement signed in February in Minsk.

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, said during a July 28 briefing in Kyiv with journalists that Russia's actions in Ukraine have been "unpredictable and irresponsible."

He said: "I would underline the stakes for what is happening here. Our principles and shared trans-Atlantic values are at stake in the conflict under way today in Ukraine. The cardinal principle of respect for international borders and territorial integrity has been jeopardized. Ukraine is the front line of freedom in Europe."

Pyatt urged Russia and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine to implement the Minsk agreements, including the withdrawal of Russian troops and equipment from Ukrainian territory; the release of all "hostages," including Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko; and the restoration of Ukrainian control over all its international borders.

Pyatt conducted the briefing together with the European Union's ambassador to Ukraine, Jan Tombinski.

Russia continues to deny that its military is involved in Ukraine's conflict.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 28 July [Ukrainian sources] Empty Bloomberg: Ukraine war risks reigniting as OSCE warns of military buildups

Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:06 pm
The conflict in eastern Ukraine risks boiling over once again as monitors warned that both sides' battle readiness is the highest since a February truce.

Ukraine's army and the pro-Russian insurgents it's been fighting for more than a year are fortifying positions and amassing hardware, said Alexander Hug, deputy chief of the Organization for Security and Cooperation's mission in Ukraine. His comments follow a report Monday that cease-fire violations reached a daily record. Civilian casualties have also risen.

There's "a preparedness of both sides to a degree we haven't seen before," Hug told reporters Tuesday in Kyiv. Three OSCE monitors have been endangered in three days, jeopardizing the group's presence in Ukraine, he said.................

bloomberg.com

Now what would the OSCE want Ukraine to do, allow the terrorists to build-up their forces and not allow Ukraine to enforce their own? This is total bullshyte.

And as for the comment in the Bloomberg article that Ukraine gave the terrorists autonomy! No they didn't. They're adding this opinion, just to raise eyebrows. They must attract attention to sell advertisements.
