1)Parliament denied Viktor Yanukovych’s title of President
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman promises to deal with the fate of the law on deprivation of Viktor Yanukovych of the title of President.
“There is such a question. But I remember exactly that I this law was signed. So now I will check this information. I 100% guarantee you that I have signed it. Next, we’ll learn in what condition it is in. I can only do what the law provided,” — said Groisman.
We will remind, on February 4, 2015 people’s deputies of Ukraine supported in the first reading the bill No. 1883 “On the removal of Viktor Yanukovych the title of President of Ukraine”.

2)Jaresko: Ukraine needs Russia as an economic partner
But to talk about our future without Russia as an important economic partner is impossible”, — said the head of the Ministry of Finance.
Recall, Ukraine counts on the restructuring of $23 billion foreign debt. The Kiev government is seeking to make it until June, when the international monetary Fund plans to discuss the granting Ukraine the second tranche of the loan program.

3)Poroshenko: Ukraine will never accept the return of Crimea into the Russian Federation
“Ukraine will never accept the occupation of Crimea and will never give one of the indigenous peoples of our common Fatherland. We will fight for the rights of the Crimean Tatar people, its national and political freedom. Crimea is not a military base, not the pride of Russian sailors”, but an integral part of Ukraine is a unique region, the pearl of the world civilization, the cradle of the Crimean Tatars”, — said the head of state.
“I just don’t want people overestimated the possibilities of the West. For a military operation we (the U.S. — ed.) will not go, obviously. Americans are not ready to fight for the Crimea. And no for Poland in years past, and for Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. It’s just a historical fact. We must be realistic in this regard,” said McFall.
Moreover, supporters of Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk acknowledged that the return of the Crimea is impossible.

4)Mijatovic: the Laws of “decommunization” threaten freedom of speech
“It’s unclear formulated law that restricts people to Express their views on the events of the past, can easily lead to suppression of critical political speech, especially in the media. What the law entered into force, despite various pleas from human rights activists, has a negative impact on freedom of expression and freedom of the media”, — said the OSCE representative.

7)The Deputy of the Parliament of new Russia: an Attempt to cram us in Ukraine is very unfortunate
Trying to cram us in Ukraine is very unfortunate. Today with the Ukrainian authorities, in principle, no reason to negotiate because the country is ruled by the US Ambassador. The proposals of the representatives of the DPR and LPR in the contact group on the peaceful settlement of the situation in the Donbass on the constitutional reform in Ukraine can cause worsening situation within the republics, – said Sergey Baryshnikov.

Raskolnikova, Thank You.
“Jaresko: Ukraine needs Russia as an economic partner”
While saying this, the Rada is working on a law to deny payments on foreign debts (except the IMF of course).That law is aimed at the $3 billion owed to Russia.

I’m curious whether anyone else has heard or can verify this rumour.
Is it true that agents in the Russian FSB have been given details of lead DSB investigators (Dutch Safety Board) and their immediate families – effectively those responsible for preparing the MH17 report to assign guilt for explaining what happened to the airliner and informed that should Russian authorities believe the DSB has been ordered to perform a “snowjob” on the MH17 report, the Russian Government will order the “liquidation” of one or more families of a DSB investigator or two – essentially at random as a minor form of retribution for alleged criminal tampering of the MH17 investigation.
Does anyone know if this rumour has any veracity?
Certainly one would assume the DSB investigators are of course free from any political influence so they and their families would have nothing to worry about.
But I guess when they become aware of this rumour (I’m guessing they have probably already been made aware of it of course) it just gives them an extra incentive to make sure there is no political interference from the Dutch Government/ NATO/ US Government/ EU suprastate/ UK Government/ Ukraine Government or anyone else.
Does anyone know if this is true? And does anyone know if the DSB investigators have been informed of this rumour?
Julian, your source please.
On this blog, informational provocations are not welcome.
So far, your comment suspiciously looks like a frame-up CIA style, to initiate a speculative discussion and create an impression of “facts” where none exist.
[And also, re-read your second sentence. Taking up 7 lines, it is incomprehensible.]
I am glad i am not the only one on this site that is tired of these jerks.Call them out people.
how does this person kiss his kids knowing what he did.
the quality of people in the world is deteriorating a little tom quick.
Good call on the troll alert. This is typical troll pattern. Trying to feel powerful by putting other people to work on chasing rumours.
Well. I have no verifiable source which is why I posted the comment without a link for instance.
It is laughable to suggest I have anything to do with the CIA! But believe what you may it is of no consequence.
If you consider this trolling I’m happy for you to remove my comment while I go and do my own searching for something more concrete
What does it mean ‘no verifiable source’? That you heard it from the bar area while eating lunch? It came to you in a dream? A cab driver told you that?
A… and don’t rush … you tool. :)
@ Julian said:
“Well. I have no verifiable source which is why I posted the comment without a link for instance.”
Then at least share with us the unverifiable source of the rumour you ask us to verify.
Let me guess: your (you’re?) asshole
Item “1)” is not presented properly here.
The title of the original Russian article says: ”The Speaker of The Supreme Rada of Ukraine does not know whether Victor Yanukovych has been stripped of the presidential title”.
The point is:
The speaker of Ukrainian Rada (Ukrainian parliament) Vladimir Groysman says that he does not know for sure whether such a law is actually in force, but that he remembers well that he himself signed a law proposal to that effect.
The law proposal was voted in by the Rada members on 4 February 2015.
However, by the Ukrainian constitution, to actually become a law of the land, its proposal must first be signed by the Rada speaker (which he says he did) – but then it must also be signed within 15 days by the President of Ukraine! Since the President of Ukraine at the time was still Yanukovich, who had to flee for his life, if he did not sign that proposal – it never became a law!
Thanks Raskolnikova – item #8 particularly interesting..
@Johan
Thanks Raskolnikova – item #8 particularly interesting..
@Johan
I think the Dum(b)a is scripted by Kafka.
Or Jaroslav Hasek (whose Good Soldier Schweik was, I am convinced, ripped off by Joseph Heller and morphed into Yossarian.)
@ eimar
Dobrý voják Švejk :-) :-) :-)
For being so kind to remind me of my happy childhood(*), here’s a link to the free download of Hašek’s true masterpiece – with the original immortal drawings: https://libcom.org/library/good-soldier-švejk-jaroslav-hašek
Concerning Yanukovich, yes, it is a “Catch 22”… And you are probably right about the rip-off. Heller is so way down the literary ladder… And the stage is Kafkaesque.
(*) Our family library had the book in three volumes, where you can still find the first volume richly adorned with greasy finger stains, a testament to yours truly’s innumerable re-readings of the opus ;-) Sadly, Jaroslav Hašek eventually ended in looney bin, and as you progress through these volumes you encounter more vulgar language, perhaps coinciding with the progression of his condition (?). At any rate, the first third is the best!
Thanks, Raskolnikova, nice job.
Look under item 4, Mijatovic, a sellout from Serbia!
Can’t understand why are “serbs” so popular in the western structures nowadays? Maybe to “stick it to the Russians” because they are all working against Russian interests.
Case in point, our so-called Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ivica Dachich, during 90s the spokesman for the Milosevic’s Socialist Party of Serbia (no less!), is now presiding over the OSCE! Needless to say, our politicians don’t meddle in our affairs. That’s left to the US so-called ambassador, a thug of high order, of course. They “care about” the “world affairs.”
Anyhow, what she is saying is nothing but an empty talk & cynicism of the worst kind.
Also, I completely agree with Mr. Baryshnikov (item 7).
And under item 13, definitely plan B. Reminder? Syria today.
Ms. Raskolnikova, many thanks indeed for the report(s)!
And many thanks to The Saker for this blog as well!
