Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources]

Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:30 am
FRIDAY

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

NEWS:

There's a move now to verify that the terrorists are violating the cease-fire that continues. I don't believe they'll ever follow the Minsk Agreement, as that's not what the Kremlin wants. It wants to continue causing desalinization in Ukraine. They believe that will destroy Ukraine internally. They want to cause a civil war, as we've seen not long ago some ultras attempting it. IMO, their goals have failed. The majority of Ukrainians know what the Kremlin's goals are and don't want to go back to pre-1991 years.

Pressure's also continuing to brew within Russia, as there was another protest that emphasized the removal of Putin. Putin wants to force the west to recognize or at least try to get them to believe that they're still a powerful force to be dealt with. None of their plans are working out as they wished. Putin failed totally in eastern Ukraine. NATO's now setting up outfits in most, if not all countries on Ukraine's and Russia's western borders. Exactly what Putin fought against for many years. It seems the west has finally gotten fed-up with their intimidation and aren't in the mood to negotiate. The Kremlin's losing its effectiveness to scare the west. The US doesn't want to side with them within Syria, NATO's building up where they didn't want them at, pressure to let go of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, other many countries in the UN want to remove their veto power, it's schemes in Syria are threatening their relationship with Turkey and of course its economy's getting worse every day. As I see it, the Kremlin has no successful future to look forward to. But how much will it cost the west, to finally paralyze the Kremlin.

WEATHER:

kyiv will be looking at -5c and sunny weather today, as the southern are will be mostly cloudy and +6c.

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin needs new triumphs to distract Russians from interior problems while domestic appetite for war to dwindle soon, - The Guardian

Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:51 am
If Vladimir Putin’s game plan has been repeatedly to surprise the west and keep it off balance, it is working. But distracting Russians from domestic problems by wars for any longer is unlikely in his power.
Censor.NET reports citing Julian Borger, The Guardian diplomatic editor, who says that the firing of cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea has certainly caught western capitals unawares. Springing surprises put Putin at the center of the world stage, the dramatic actor to whom the world is forced to react.

In addition, this has a narcotic affect on Russian domestic opinion, helped by lots of video footage and graphics of missiles blasting off from ships and travelling hundreds of miles to pinpoint supposedly terrorist targets. In a new poll, 72% of Russian respondents declare themselves in favour of the Syrian adventure.

However, wars fought for domestic consumption are, however, inherently unstable. They require constant novelty and reports of new triumphs, which are hard to pull off in the real world. Having rallied supporters in eastern Ukraine to the Novorossiya flag, Putin has put the insurgency on hold amid a rising death toll among Russian soldiers who were not officially supposed to be there. The Ukrainian campaign only solidified NATO and gave it a new sense of purpose.

The war in Syria also threatens to backfire, for all the reasons that the U.S. has sought to stay out. To the Sunni world, Russia looks like it has taken sides, uniting all the disparate rebel groups in a shared hatred of its "occupation", and inspiring jihadis the world over to turn their eyes towards Moscow.

Backing Assad to the bitter end is a strategy that is likely to suck Russia deeper into a war it cannot afford with an economy shrinking 4% a year. Standing by and watching Russia self-harm also carries costs for the west . The bombardment of rebel-held areas around Idlib and Aleppo will boost the outflow of refugees, and put off the prospect of local cease-fires gradually dampening down the wider conflict. The chance of a collision or shootdown between Russian, Turkish, U.S. or other NATO war planes continues to mount, as does the risk of an escalating proxy war.

"Putin's mastery of surprise has put him in the driving seat, but there is little sign so far he knows where he is going," the article reads.

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty US Defense Secretary: If Russia wants to stop its isolation, it must abandon the Crimea

Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:18 am
US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that if Russia wants to terminate its international isolation, it should stop the aggression in the east of Ukraine to give up the occupation and annexation of the Crimea and the attempt to comply with its obligations under the Minsk Agreement, according to "Krym.Realii".

According to Carter, NATO will not be distracted from the problems of Ukraine due to Russia's actions in Syria, and should force her to perform in Minsk agreement.

"This focused on the meeting (of defense ministers - Ed.) NATO," - said Carter.

Carter warned the Kremlin that "bind Russia to the sinking ship - a destructive strategy." According to the head of the Pentagon, Moscow still has the opportunity to change the course of events and make the right moves.

"However, I do not know whether they want to do this. From Kamchatka peninsula, through Central Asia, the Caucasus and around the Baltic countries, all Russia itself continues to lock themselves in isolation. Only the Kremlin may decide to change it, "- said the head of the US defense department.

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin moved to the red line - expert

Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:23 am
The only way to put an end to the antics of Russian President Vladimir Putin - to ensure that the pressure of external circumstances forced him to stop. So says Ukrainian diplomat, former Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ogryzko.

"The recent actions of Russia in Syria - Syrian territories shelling from the ships in the Caspian Sea, and air support launched an offensive army of Assad - if not crossing the red line, then at least dangerous to her approach. After crossing that line the West will finally make a decision whether it will take an absolutely brazen policy of Russia in support of Assad, or leave it unattended that from the Caspian Sea to shoot missiles that fly in a few countries to Syria, or whether he will make a decision and dare to react to events, "- he writes in a blog on Ogryzko "New time" .

Ogryzko said that the United States continues a policy of appeasement of Russia, despite all its recent actions.

"I think that in some cases, European leaders took a tougher stance than the United States. It is not for the benefit of the consolidation of the West, as well as transatlantic cooperation as a whole. I'm afraid that the deadline is approaching, and if the West does not show sufficient determination and firmness, we expect a much more serious consequences of the Syrian crisis, "- said the diplomat.

Ogryzko adds that concern and negotiations will not make Putin's stay.

"After all, the only argument that Putin understands - force. No deep concern, no negotiations will not force him to stop, and the US should realize that. The only way to put an end to Putin's escapades - to ensure that he was forced to stay under the pressure of external circumstances "- he said.

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia's other war in Eastern Europe

Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:11 am
In the early stages of Russia’s initially covert invasion of Crimea last year, a woman outside the parliament in Simferopol told a Maclean’s reporter why she thought so little of the protesters in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, who had forced the departure of Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, days earlier.

They had been drugged, she explained of the demonstrators. Some sort of hallucinogenic had been slipped into their tea. A local man had gone to Kyiv, taken part in the protests and returned, whereupon doctors in a hospital discovered traces of the drugs in his blood, she said. Another woman in Kyiv who also opposed the street demonstrations told an almost identical story.

Both women said they learned about the drugged protesters from watching Russian-language television. They didn’t say which stations, but they were almost certainly ones controlled by or beholden to the Kremlin.

This disinformation campaign was part of what Jerzy Pomianowski, a former Polish diplomat who now heads the European Endowment for Democracy (EED), describes as Russia’s “hybrid war.” In addition to sending troops to Crimea, and later into eastern Ukraine, Russia used media propaganda to convince people in those areas that “fascists” in Kyiv threatened them and that Russia would protect them.

“In a moment of war, when a people really don’t know what to think and how to understand a situation, that makes them naturally not able to properly react when a group of 1,000 or 2,000 separatists suddenly seize control of a city. Having no alternative information, the people living there tend to agree: maybe yes, this is the solution for our situation,” he says...........................

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Nuland says Ukraine's PGO should be reinvented like police force

Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:18 am
"Like Ukraine's police force, the Prosecutor General's Office has to be reinvented as an institution that serves the citizens of Ukraine, rather than ripping them off. That means it must investigate and successfully prosecute corruption and asset recovery cases - including locking up dirty personnel in the PGO itself," Nuland said in her speech before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington on Thursday.

In her opinion, the newly created Inspector General's Office within Ukraine's prosecution service must be able to work independently and effectively, without political or judicial interference...............

These projects were started back during the Yushchenko years but that would've taken income away from the Kremlin and Gazprom. Then the great deal of $400 signed by Tymoshenko came into play. Wonder how much she made on that deal. Hopefully, this time it'll go through. Less income for the Kremlin/Gazprom.

Juncker - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 09 October [Ukrainian sources] Empty Experts from Germany are predicting growth of the Ukrainian economy

Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:16 pm
The experts of the German Advisory Group on Ukraine Giucci Ricardo and Robert Kirchner believes that Ukraine has clear signs of economic stabilization.

"The purpose of stabilization, apparently has been reached. Characteristically, it is an achievement of the government that - unlike previous years - goes to the constructive cooperation with the IMF ", - the report says.

In the context of Ukraine's actions, which could give an impetus to growth, rather limited, including it's too difficult to make due to the growth in domestic consumption. Economists Advisory Group see as the main incentive of economic growth is now "external sector", in particular, foreign direct investment, which contributed to the growth of exports and GDP. The advantages for the country in terms of access to the EU market for the FTA is quite low, and therefore competition, labor costs and depreciated currency (60% in 2014). One factor that hinders the attraction inoinvestitsy is still imperfect tax legislation (the German government, for example, provides guarantees to German companies) and political risks.

This brings back memories when a group of us, including @SteveKomarnycky tried to get it on the ballot at the UK parliament. It's been a while, so I don't remember many details (growing old), but I recall Steve was working with the MEPs. I was working with with others on trying to get a "Holodomor" Awareness concert at Hyde Park. Didn't quite get there, but the effort was worth it, to bring it out in the open.

A reminder! The US accepted it as a genocide but the UK hasn't. If I recall, there was static from some MEPs. Probably didn't want to open any old closets or pissing off the wrong people.

I hope to the Almighty that it goes through this time, as it's clear, when over 7 million are purposely starved to death on just one year the world should acknowledge it. Perhaps now that the scenario in Ukraine can show what they've had to endure in the past and now from the likes of the somewhat still alive USSR, it will be acknowledged in the UK. I hope they're not that beholden to the Kremlin.
