The Situation in the Ukraine. #25

I know, but nothing beats hard copy if someone has it. They will hold him until they can discredit whatever he has. It's not like it will be the first time for such action.

The BUK part has showed up on CBS news, found it by accident.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mh17-malaysia-airlines-flight-17-dutch-investigation-photo-buk-missile/

No date, no time frame, no location beyond 'at the crash sight'. Never heard of this part being found before. I call bovine scatology.

Banderas attempt to storm Lvov Rada to remove mayor Andrei Sadoviy, failed.

Lot of photos on both links, and the video


Also today a rally by banderas in Odessa took place to remove mayor Gennady Trukhanov for suspicion that he has Russian passport, failed.

Also, the problem of the amber miners in the general area of Rovno has not dissapeared and a few days back there was renewed violence between them and the police.

And, yesterday Zakharchenko made it clear to the people of Zaporozhye that the only solutions are removal of the government in Kiev in first instance, then refferendums in the free areas of Ukraine to determine the future, and he again used the word "confederation". His use of phrase "Free areas of Ukraine" is interesting as he clearly meant more than LDNR. Comments in other places starts to suggest the possibility of, at least for a time, the merging of leadership of DNR and LNR and that Plotnitsky will go and Zakharchenko take at least nominal control. But this is unclear and likely wishfull thinking.

Some brilliant Vitaly photos of the T-72B3 as part of a 'RA in Donbas' article. Can't say many of us would agree with much of it tho'. As they say "no photo, no proof". I've copied the photos to the photo thread.

I don't get it. You are saying that's indeed proof of Russian tanks in Donbass? or it's just made up stuff?

Anyone with command of Russian can please update on what militia and Russian sites are saying on the situation?, fighting has gotten much worse in the past week, they are saying it's like the days of the fight for the airport

Is Right Sector still in Peski? & where is Yarosh?

I tried to find the old video of him and his "troops" filmed in Peski.

Thanks and yes. I somehow doubt that Vitaly ventured into Donbas.

And the article is, as you say, regurgitated guff.

Дмитро Ярош і Надія Савченко зустрілися на передовій

6-7 червня народні депутати Дмитро Ярош і Надія Савченко разом відвідали українських воїнів з різних підрозділів, що дислокуються у найгарячіших точках Донеччини - місті Авдіївка і селищі Широкине. Під час поїздки депутати зустрілися з керівником військово-цивільної адміністрації м.Авдіївка Павлом Малихіним.

Також Надія Савченко відвідала бази 5-го і 8-го батальйонів УДА, зокрема, випробувала на полігоні унікальну експериментальну зброю, що виготовлена у зброярні УДА й існує поки що в єдиному екземлярі.

Бійців Української добровольчої армії та добровольців ЗСУ, які спілкувалися з Надією Савченко, цікавило передусім одне: коли ми вже підемо у наступ? Позиція Надії на сьогодні достатньо обережна і поміркована: вона вважає, що треба робити все, щоб проливалося якомога менше української крові і щоб українські полонені якнайшвидше повернулися додому, і виступає за ведення війни диверсійними групами. Також вона сподівається на закриття кордонів з РФ і зменшення кремлівського впливу на території так званих "ЛНР-ДНР".

Дмитро Ярош і Надія Савченко обговорили майбутню співпрацю з питань оборони, легалізації добровольців та звільнення українських полонених. Наскільки плідною буде ця співпраця - покаже час, але вже сьогодні можна сказати, що двоє політиків-воїнів знайшли спільну мову


Dmitry Yarosh and Nadia Savchenko met at the forefront

June 6-7, deputies Dmitry Yarosh Hope Savchenko and together visited the Ukrainian soldiers from different units stationed in the hottest spots of Donetsk - a city Avdeevka and the village Shyrokyne. During the trip, the deputies met with the head of the military-civilian administration m.Avdiyivka Paul Malykhina.

Hope Savchenko also visited the base of the 5th and 8th battalions UDD particularly experienced at the site a unique experimental weapon in the armory which is made UDA and there is still a single ekzemlyari.

Fighters Ukrainian Volunteer Army and the Armed Forces volunteers who communicated with Nadezhda Savchenko, primarily interested in one thing: when we go on the offensive? Hope position today rather cautious and moderate, she believes that we must do everything to make shone as little blood Ukrainian and Ukrainian prisoners to come home as soon as possible, and advocates of war subversive groups. She also hopes to close the borders with Russia and the Kremlin reduce the impact on the so-called "FSC-NPT".

Dmitry Yarosh Hope Savchenko and discussed future cooperation on defense issues, legalization of Ukrainian volunteers and release prisoners. How will this fruitful collaboration - time will tell, but today we can say that the two politicians, soldiers found a common language

Well that all the shelling locations I was able to get to today. unfortunately there are many more. Last night was the heaviest shelling in the last year. Tonight seems quiet, we will see. Good all


Ukraine shell heavily damages a home in Donetsk Suburb

Demonstration this morning in Donetsk against any OSCE armed mission. More than thirty thousand people took part. Also Pushilin called emergency meeting of the contact group about the bombardment of Donetsk, which he has described as now being at the level of August last year. Zakharchenko still maintains that Zaporozhye may be in part of "land corridor" to Crimea. In military terms, IF any land corridor occured, it would of course not just be a strip of land along the coast, but need to control inland up to at least Zaporozhye. Seems everytime him or Pushilin talk about these affairs now they are laying out a plan to liberate all of Novorossiya. It can all just be talk, trolling Kiev, but I think it is not, as his words are so direct to the people and are a clear incitement to rebel, but the fiasco in Kharkov will not be forgotten quickly and people will want to see clear evidence of ability to put words into deeds before any uprisings. All hangs on the offensive.

Euro 2016 starts today so expect the provocations to ramp up, just like the Olympic Games in 2008 and the Olympics in Sochi.

Not so sure about that. The football is really just a local competition for football fans in Europe, the other two were world events with blanket MSM coverage.

They barely control half of their republic's area and just about the two capitals (which are like Seoul, at the mercy of enemy artillery - starting from mortars...). They should come back to reality.

This looks like PSYOPS. The DNR/LPR/Moscow grouping know that they cannot initiate anything to get rid of Kiev's army sitting in their fields. They have to allow Kiev to make the first move and one of the ways of achieving that is to rattle them so much that they are panicked into doing something. We should expect more of this type of activity until they crack.

Yet the match between Ukraine and Poland may cause some excitment when perhaps Poles unfurl large banner about Volyn.

Considering, that provocations are in the times of Olympic games, that they will be more real in August in times of Olympics in Rio.

Due to, at the very least, the bombardment of Donetsk on the night 8/9 June and the bombardment of residential areas of Gorlovka last night, is there a well thought out and articulated reason not to launch major artillery bombardments and other actions to destroy all known ukrops artillery positions around Donetsk and Gorlovka.

Ukropian BMP was hit in its tracks by SPG-9 recoiless rifle. Crew abandoned. It was decided to terminate the BMP with ATGM.

Yes there is, the Minsk agreement.

Russia won't allow the DPR to escalate the war any further. The DPR will just have to bare with all the civilian casualties and infrastructure being destroyed.

We all would love to see the DPR to start a full war against the junta, but it goes against the interests of Kremlin.

Over 50,000 Donbass residents took part of a protest against the armed OSCE mission: http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/06/photos-video-50000-rally-in-donetsk.html

Donbass people don’t trust the OSCE officials because they are suspected of being biased for Kiev and against Donbass, and for a good reason. People of Donbass don’t want hostile military officers in their land carrying weapons.

The problem: Russia agreed to let the OSCE officers to be armed, in spite of protests from Donbass. Kiev also supports the OSCE armed mission in Donbass, because Kiev knows that the OSCE is on their side.

But why did Russia agree with this?

One of those cases where you wish the cameraman would pan to the right so we could see where the other smoke was coming from.
