Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 13 August [Ukrainian sources] Empty If Russia is barred from SWIFT, Putin will chuck in towel very soon - Bohdan Havrylyshyn

Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:04 am
Ukraine will survive the crisis is sanctions against Russia are stepped up, renowned economist and donor Bohdan Havrylyshyn told in an interview with Fokus Aug. 12

"The West should not give Ukraine lethal weapons. Suffice it to cut Putin off the SWIFT system - it will put Putin on his knees, "Havrylyshyn said.

In his opinion, the political, economic and social situation in Ukraine is very bad.

"I do not believe the present regime will steer the country out of the crisis. The power is merely thinking about reforms, not implementing them.

However, there are many politicians in the parliament and presidential administration who are honest and competent, head of Rada committee on industrial policy Viktor Halasiuk, education minister Serhy Kvit, finance minister Natalia Yaresko.

Ukraine's major hurdle is the abominable red-tape.

On the other hand, the West demands that Pres Poroshenko strictly abide by the law and Constitution. For instance, the president can not fire corrupt judges of higher courts as it is not envisaged by the Constitution. But at the time of a war, they care little about the Constitution in other countries, doing what they have to do, "Bohdan Havrylyshyn said.

Phillip Karber, US military analyst: "These are core structures. They have intelligence, they are run by Russian officers, there is Russian electronic warfare and they have heavy artillery brigades so they can orchestrate and coordinate….this is not the infrastructure you put in if you're expecting a ceasefire to last, this is the infrastructure you want to put in if you want to launch a major offensive, and not just one that goes a little way, but one that goes very deep".

Journalist: "How was it on the war, Phil?"..............

Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 13 August [Ukrainian sources] Empty Nato treats Poland like a buffer state, says new president

Thu Aug 13, 2015 9:16 am
Polish president Andrzej Duda has criticised Nato for treating Poland like a “buffer zone” rather than a fully fledged member facing a resurgent Russia and urged the alliance to place permanent bases in the former Soviet bloc country.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Duda, a conservative elected in May, said Nato was failing to implement its stated policies and had not adapted its strategy on its eastern border following Russia’s “imperialist actions” in Ukraine and Georgia.

“We do not want to be the buffer zone. We want to be the real eastern flank of the alliance,” said Mr Duda. “Today, when we look at the dispersion of bases . . . then the borderline is Germany.
“Nato has not yet taken note of the shift . . .  of Poland from the east to the west,” he added. “Nato is supposed to be here to protect the alliance . . .  If Poland and other central European countries constitute the real flank of Nato, then it seems natural to me, a logical conclusion, that bases should be placed in those countries.”..........................

censor.net.uao In Russian

Not only does it cost the countries export income, it also hurts Russia. One main reason to trade in exports is for income, consumer costs and employment. So if they apply sanctions, their citizens will hurt. That won't help their sentiment towards their own government as it's already hurting the Kremlin negatively. Of course, we know the Kremlin's enslavement practices in Russia, so they don't really care how their own people think about them. How many more thousands will leave Russia?

Crimea - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 13 August [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russian propaganda spins fake (VIDEO) of 'Ukrainian officers in Buk shooting down MH17'

Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:02 pm
Russian edition of the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper has posted on its YouTube channel a video allegedly shot on a mobile phone in the cabin of Buk anti-aircraft missile system by an "SBU officer" (Ukraine's Security Service).

The Internet community has already branded the spin ridiculous, as the captured the "crew" speaking loudly and clearly, in phrases that seem memorized, sometimes forgetting of the right tone and expression. One of the "actors" even voices the date: July 17, 2014 – the day when the Malaysian Airlines aircraft was shot down over Donbas killing 298 people onboard.

From the first seconds, a man behind the camera loudly declares with the Moscow accent that the "aircraft is approaching, according to schedule."

The comments under the video are generally critical of logical inconsistencies, bad direction and casting.

It is not the first time the Russian propaganda spins fabricated material in relation to the causes of the MH17 crash, inventing new speculations, using fake satellite photos, or expressing assumptions that Ukrainian air defense exercises are out of control.

Besides, there were high profile spins about a boy "crucified" by the Ukrainian troops as well as of "two slaves for each Ukrainian soldier [whom Russian propaganda calls ‘punishers']" Such bogus stories largely target Russian citizens and Russian-speaking population around the world, including in Ukraine.
