Kiev will pay about the time you see The Dark Lord driving a Kenworth with a Meyers snow blade on the front through 3 meter drifts in his 'kingdom'.

However, this does say reams about the thoughts of UK in particular and eu in general in regards to Kiev, IOW looks like they've had enough.

The ukes are dreaming. Reality is I have few doubts that IMF will give them another billion in early April. If they don't then the days of Ukeland are numbered for sure. No money means no power, pure and simple. Not that a kopek goes to the people but Poroshenko has to buy his allies.

Nazis placed on power in Ukraine will get their bin $ from IMF thats for sure. But it wont matter.

The IMF loans will have lots of strings attached... the usual is that the condition for the loans is the ability for international companies to go in and buy up state owned assets on the cheap... when big business owns the Ukraine then they will find they cannot pay back loans and so the primary countries in control of the IMF can then directly control Kiev...

They can have all the NATO or US bases they want etc etc all the CIA listening stations etc etc.

The IMF bank is a 5th column front that can only lead to loss of sovereignty.

It is the opposite of a bringer of peace and democracy... a tool of colonialism.

Radicals threaten to terminate operation of Russian banks in Ukraine from April 10

Since January, Ukrainian radicals have declared a "war" to the affiliated branches of Russian banks in Ukraine

KIEV, April 6. /TASS/. Ukrainian radicals said that due to inaction of the authorities, they will independently stop the activities of the Russian banks in the country from April 10.

"We, Ukrainian nationalists, have decided to take the initiative in our own hands and stop the activities of these banks (Russian) on the territory of our state," the statement of the National Corps organization said.

Such a decision was made due to the absence of "real and effective actions of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) with regard to the activities of the Russian banks."

"Due to the fact that the NBU did not listen to the demands of Ukrainian nationalists to revoke the licenses of Russian banks, we will close them ourselves," the organization's website notes.

Since January, Ukrainian radicals, members of the National Corps nationalist party have declared a "war" to the affiliated branches of Russian banks in Ukraine, demanding that the authorities should withdraw their licenses of those banks adopt a law banning their operation in Ukraine.

On March 16, Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko imposed sanctions against five banks with Russian state capital operating on the Ukrainian market. Restrictions were introduced against Sberbank, VS Bank, Prominvestbank, VTB Bank and BM Bank for one-year period.

After that the radicals suspended their campaign to give Ukrainian citizens time to take their money from those banks.

It is known that Russian banks with state capital are now in talks on selling their Ukrainian subsidiaries. In particular, on March 27, Sberbank announced the sale of 100% in the subsidiary PJSC "Sberbank" (Ukraine) to a consortium with the participation of a Latvian bank and a Belarusian company.

....
a retroactive revision of prices, and that Gazprom compensate Naftogaz for sums it allegedly overpaid.

....

Are they freakin serious? They put this on paper and went official with it? In what universe does this work?

This sounds like something 6 year old would suggest. Was there ever a case where something like this flew, Opium Wars notwithstanding?

In a european court where the defendant is up against Russia almost anything will fly... sadly for the courts there...

Ukraine denies entry for Russian boxing team members at European Championship

The 2017 EUBC European Boxing Championship will be held in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov between June 16 and 26

We were denied to enter the territory of Ukraine because we had previously paid visits to Crimea," Romanova said in an interview with TASS. "As of now, a total of eight people, including boxer Kushitashvili, will be sent back to Russia."

Umar Kremlev, the president of the Russian Boxing Federation, told TASS earlier that the Ukrainian organizers of the European boxing tournament had initially provided the Russian delegation with all necessary guarantees regarding security and Russia’s participation in the event.

"The Ukrainian side is discrediting itself," Kremlev told TASS. "We see no reasons why our delegation should be treated this way and still have no official response from Ukraine."

Ukraine cancels military exports deal with Russia

The deal was approved by the Ukrainian government in 2004, and had been based on an agreement on military and technical cooperation dated May 26, 1993

KIEV, August 9. /TASS/. The Ukrainian government has cancelled an inter-governmental agreement with Russia on the procedure of interaction in the export of military goods (products) to third countries. The relevant decision was adopted at a government session on Wednesday.

The agreement was approved by the Ukrainian government on March 24, 2004 and had been worked out by Ukraine and Russia on the basis of an agreement between the governments of both countries on military and technical cooperation dated May 26, 1993. In this document, the sides undertook to maintain and develop cooperative ties in the development and manufacture of military products, carry out their mutual deliveries and provide military services.

The agreement on military and technical cooperation prohibits the sale or transfer of military products or information thereof to a third party, including foreign private individuals, legal entities or international organizations, without the preliminary consent of the products’ original owner.

The aim of the new agreement was to establish interaction between the parties in the export of military goods to third countries. This document covered military goods jointly developed or modernized after January 1, 1992.

Ukraine has suspended the shipments of military goods to Russia since late March 2014 and on June 16 that year Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko fully prohibited cooperation with Russia in the defense sector.

On August 27, 2014, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council instructed the government to take measures to reduce the export of military and dual-purpose goods to Russia, except for space hardware used for research and space exploration for peaceful purposes as part of international space projects.
