I think it is worth to keep an eye on that plot as some other revelations abou Kiev regime may come out of it.
Thanks Raskolnikova for the sitrep…good choices…poor people being interviewed by Graham Phillips…what a great guy he is.
“Meetings of sub-working groups were completed. The contact group had begun to discuss the results of their work”, — said the Agency interlocutor.”
That should have been one of the shortest meetings in history.As they have not done “jack sh$$” to help in this Civil War so far.
“Given the possible oligarchical owner, we are afraid that the man who shot the children will be left without punishment. In the future our children will always be under the gun, and tired oligarch at any time may order his guards to fire on children?” — sums up the mother of one of the affected children.”
Hence the need for a “people’ militia” and a plentiful supply of pitchforks.
I’m not sure those figures are correct. In 2013 it was estimated there were 45.5 million in Ukraine.Crimea was around 2.5 million and free Donbass is around 3.0 million.There are also 100’s of thousands that have fled to Russia and other states.So if they deducted those (especially Crimea and Donbass ) it should be closer to 40-41 million people at the most in Ukraine (unless their estimates were off at the beginning).
In a number of places, video from news item 8 shows up (e.g. on http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2238837.html ) with a strong and to the point letter from a woman from Donetsk.
She basically says that somebody out there is playing geopolitics, or makes profits, with their lives, and that they do not really see the point in their sacrifices, or hopeful signs that something out there will change their circumstances for better.
They despise current Ukrainian regime and do not want to go back there; but certainly there is also a strong message that not enough is done about their situation.
Thank you Raskolnikova.
Are the UN being serious:
http://sputniknews.com/world/20150617/1023459074.html
Ukraine to get a non-member seat at UNSC. No wonder Samatha Power was in Kiev. Is this a joke? A country with a civil war, killing its own civilians, due to default etc. Why not Belarus? What is the US playing at supporting their vassel so they get the role. Saudi’s for Human Rights council at UN and now this. Utter farce.
The UN is a complete an utter joke.
On the same note – The Department of MIA of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea will operate in Odessa and Kherson – yet another joke – this desperation is more and more obvious :( .

@ Raskolnikova,
They say news is as fluid as the tides…
Which tides, I ask you…
Rhetorical stuff is very funny, but your efforts are very much appreciated, even if your messages are depressing and heart wrenching, please do stand strong.

News one week ago.
See where Dempsey goes to get his latest marching orders.
that new base is going in Anbar province.
http://theiraqidinar.com/news/nytimes-u-s-embracing-a-new-approach-on-battling-isis-in-iraq-319352
There has long been debate within the administration about what the first steps in the campaign should be.
Led by Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, the Central Command has long emphasized the need to strike a blow against the Islamic State by recapturing Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, which was taken by the group in June 2014. Mosul is the capital of Nineveh Province in northern Iraq and was the site of a sermon that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State, defiantly delivered in July. The Baiji refinery, a major oil complex, is on a main road to Mosul.
While General Austin was looking north, State Department officials have highlighted the strategic importance of Anbar Province in western Iraq.
————————————————–
But to the frustration of critics like Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, who say that the United States is losing the initiative to the Islamic State, the Obama administration has yet to approve the use of American spotters on the battlefield to call in airstrikes in and around Ramadi.
Nor has it approved the use of Apache helicopter gunships to help Iraqi troops retake the city.
General Dempsey alluded to the plan to expand the military footprint in Iraq during a visit to Israel on Tuesday, saying that he had asked war commanders to look into expanding the number of training sites for Iraqi forces.
The United States is not the only country that is expanding its effort.
