Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Monday 03 August [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Monday 03 August [Ukrainian sources]

Sun Aug 02, 2015 11:43 pm
MONDAY

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

News -
The bombardment by Putin continues.
Update - reading now that the Russians violated the ceasefire 99 times yesterday.
Update at noon - reading 4 soldiers killed, 15 wounded. Sad.
I understand the marines who replaced Azov around Mariupol have suffered their first casualties - 2 injured yesterday.
Oil price continues to fall. This restricts Putin's military build up. 46.7 / 51.7 dollars for WT / Brent.

Scumball journalist Kitty Logan -
banned from Ukraine, by SBU, I understand.. She called on the terrorists to shell Ukrainians for some nice "pictures".
I would charge her with murder and war crimes. Sky News. No morals. No concern for human life. Blood on their hands.

Weather -
A beautiful morning. Blue sky, sunshine. Now 17C at 0600.
Should get up to 28C or so today. Lower 80s I think. Ok.

Hatred for Russia and Putin -
This grows and grows. All of Putin's own doing.
Idiotic tactics by Putin - alienating Russia, and actually promoting hate towards his own country.
As shown in this grafitti on a fence - a photo I took yesterday -
Смерть Росії. Слава Україні.. Smert Rossiya. Slava Ukraini. Death to Russia, Glory to Ukraine.

In Volyn ATO with the fighters taking bribes for issuing documents for participant status (Magnolia-TV)
http://magnolia-tv.com/text-news/2015-08-03/60292-na-volin-z-b-its-v-ato-brali-khabar-za-oformlennya-dokument-v-shchodo-sta

[You get more money if you have "participant in ATO" status.
Frankly the issuing of false documents for participant status goes on all over Ukraine. I can tell you this for certain.
In Volyn somebody probably had the guts to speak up against it.
Why should somebody who sits in an office, and then goes to the ATO zone for 2 hours, and then goes back to his office for a year get the same pay rise as a soldier based at Pisky for 6 months. It is disgusting. But that is the corruption that exists in the Ukrainian armed forces. And created, of course by the army and the politicians.
Reading this story, it is actually about officials demanding payments for issuing documents.
But more common - and not mentioned is for people who have not been in the ATO zone to pay to get ATO status. Revolting.
But some commanders of bases have done this. I know this for sure. Disgusting.]

[Absolutely correct. The idiotic journalist is called Kitty Logan.
She was calling for the terrorists to shell Ukrainian people. Kill them. Blow them to bits.

Peskov - ... a photo of the official wearing a watch that — according to opposition leader Alexei Navalny — was worth some $620,000.
Navalny claimed in an irate blog post Sunday that it would have been impossible for Peskov to have paid for the watch on his official salary.
....Peskov was quick to defend himself, telling the RBC news agency that the watch had been a wedding gift from his bride, .... But bloggers found photos of him wearing it several months ago in the Instagram account of his daughter Yelizaveta Peskova,

Here is the original article from the Russian source. Long long interview.
Barbaric. Animals. No semblance of civilisation, no thought for human life. Kitty Logan but with a kalishnikov.
Why do they put this in the Russian press? Maybe the next step is to say that control under Russia is better... ?

===========

"Shot, buried, raped, tortured"
http://ura.ru/articles/1036265474
...Everyone stopped and forced to dig their own graves and buried. Bes shot, Dima, Kohl Auburn. In Vadik it was made five shots, he fell and wheezed. These say: "Yes, he is alive!" And fired again, controlling, in the neck. And buried. But since he has strong lungs, he was able to somehow get out of the grave, crawled to the road, some grandfather called him an ambulance. Under an assumed name, he spent 22 days in the Luhansk regional hospital in a coma, when he came to himself - did not even know who to call from friends that the battalion did not know that he survived. Friends and volunteers took him to Rostov, there also was operated on, he now lives, it is in Russia.

The oil price really falling today. Now below 50 dollars for Brent.

Brent Crude (ICE)
USD/bbl. 49.74 -2.47 -4.73% SEP 15 13:40:08
=====

I can't quite remember how low it fell in March. I think near 43 for WTI.
But it might go to a record low for the past 3 or 4 years at this rate...
Good news for Ukraine, and the inflation rate.
Bad news for Putin and his military budget.
