News -
47 separate attacks by Russian forces yesterday on Ukraine.
Savchenko due to make final court statement. Ukrainian Deputies wishing to attend stopped at Russian airport.
Update - 8 soldiers wounded yesterday.
Weather -
Amazing change in the weather. Still warm. +6 at 0700. But foggy! High of 7 or 8. ok.
Economy -
I notice that bond prices have risen in the past few days, and the hryvnia has also strengthened, presumably on news that Jareshko - the US born economist - may become PM. obviously people think she would be good for business. On the other hand, the Soviet brains in the Rada will be frightened, as will the oligarchs with their "protected" interests.

CR@P report from the BBC, not for the first time.
I presume this is from "reporter" Sarah Rainsford, Moscow resident. No name attacked, not surprisingly. She gives the Moscow position first in the report.
Only later on do you read about her kidnapping. Rainsford sits of the fence, to keep buddy with the Kremlin. Makes me puke.
Typical BBC cr@p. Phrases like -
"She is reported to...", and "She says she was kidnapped.... " Shaun Walker stuff.
The typical British reader will not realise that you could go to Russia as a tourist, spend 5 days looking at art in the Hermitage, and then be charged with spying and locked up for 60 years. That is Russia today.

So inflation is beginning to fall quite markedly.
In the shops now prices are very stable. The only increases keep coming from the government. Electricity up 25% this month. And gas goes up next month, although people will start using much less as the weather warms up.

The decision from Moody’s marks the most drastic reaction so far to new Russian regulation of credit rating agencies, but highlights the risk that the country’s financial markets may become more isolated from global markets amid the tit-for-tat fallout of western sanctions against Moscow.................
