I believe in the Minsk agreement Kiev was supposed to work together with DPR/LC representatives on the “special status” resolution.But since the junta hasn’t consulted and worked with the DPR/LC on this at all.They are in violation of the agreement once again.And unless the resolution the Rada brings out is by some miracle a good document (not a chance of that) it will probably be rejected at once.
I perfectly agree.
Furthermore, it is of no avail that he parts the territories that already escape his control.
All Novorossia must get this status, I am sure.
This is why, I think, the Minsk agreement foresaw negociations with Novorossian authorities.
I think also Poro is making it subject to a referendum in Donbass, too-not sure if that was in Minsk…….delaying tactics again?
Representatives of the Kiev radical group “White Hammer”, which was earlier a part of the Ukrainian far-right nationalist organization “Right Sector”, started organizing a new movement under the slogan “Are you hungry, kill bourgeois,” the Ukrainian newspaper “Vesti” reports.
Members of the group have not called for direct physical violence, but consider it their “sacred duty” “to spoil the life” of Ukrainian officials and wealthy people in different ways, for example through investigative journalism, protests, disclosure of trade secrets and freezing of bank accounts.

In different circumstances that sounds just about spot on.
Now that the Vladinator hysteria is gone, MSM creates another.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Leading western newspaper headlines have focused on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments about Russia’s readiness to place its nuclear forces on alert in the event an “unfavorable scenario” had unfolded in Crimea, despite the United States and the United Kingdom making similar statements before. http://sputniknews.com/society/20150316/1019567250.html
Moreover, the story of rescue operation of Viktor Yanukovych, the ousted Ukrainian president, has obviously eclipsed any of the James Bond saga’s episodes. Russia’s special forces helped the former Ukrainian leader evade heavily armed gangs sent by the junta and escape death when he found himself literally between the devil and the deep blue sea.
The film reveals what frightened the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea, prompting the American vessel equipped with deadly Tomahawk cruise missiles and the most advanced Aegis Combat System to reverse its course and sail away from Crimea’s shores. It was the flight of a Russian Sukhoi-24 (Su-24) fighter jet (that carried neither bombs nor missiles) over the notorious destroyer.
One could hardly imagine that Natalya Poklonskaya, gorgeous and charismatic Crimean Prosecutor General retired after the coup and left Kiev for Crimea not to head up the prosecution office but to breed fowls in the countryside. Indeed, she was ready to sacrifice 12 years of her successful career after being disgusted with the illegitimate and criminal activities of new Ukraine’s authorities.
Well, don’t give up if you have not yet seen the documentary: Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency will make subtitles for the film “Crimea. Way Back Home” in dozens of foreign languages, telling the untold story of Crimea’s reunification and geopolitical standoff over the Russian peninsula.
If the rest of the Ukraine saw what Russia has done for Crimea, it would undo a lot of the zionazi propaganda they’ve been fed. Especially now that they have first hand experience of what Israel’s quislings in the EU and USA have in store for them. Meanwhile, Israel’s quislings in the EU continue being….quislings:
The European Union will uphold restrictions against Crimea and calls on other UN member states to consider similar measures, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement Monday.
The Assyrian people in the Middle East are counting on Russia’s help in demanding the protection of their rights on the international stage, the Assyria Patriotic Movement (APM) leader said Monday.
Russia, along with the Vatican and Lebanon, issued a declaration last week at the UN Human Rights Council’s 28th session in support of Christians and other repressed religious minorities in the Middle East.
“We do not have a state, so we cannot turn to the International Criminal Court. But we can use the help of our friends. This concerns both the genocide in World War II and today,” Ashour Givargis said.
Speaking at a conference at the Rossiya Segodnya news agency, Givargis said Russia is “the only one that helps us today, speaking in our defense,” through the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“We are unarmed, we cannot offer resistance, which is why we rely on your help,” the APM leader said.
Over the past several weeks, reports have emerged of the Islamic State and other extremist organizations abducting hundreds of Assyrian Christians in northern Syria, acts strongly condemned by Moscow.
Religious leaders, both in Lebanon and the Vatican, have classified the recent acts as genocide.
Assyrians are an ethnic group whose historic home lies in southeast Turkey, north Iraq and northeast Syria, and are considered the earliest group to adopt Christianity.
The Assyria Patriotic Movement was formed in 2012 with the mission, according to its website, to bring attention to widespread Assyrian emigration and the failure of its institutions “to convey the Assyrians’ sufferance” on the world stage.
Meanwhile, the EU quislings continue attacking Syria and providing cover for Israel’s ISIL terrorists:
“The EU will continue its policy of imposing additional sanctions targeting the regime and its supporters, as long as repression continues,” the communique read.
Very glad to have “The Voice” back. I was undecided about the anglophile; easier to understand for sure, but just doesn’t have the same presence.
The question one needs to ask is WHO is the intended audience? As professionally made as these videos are, they will be roundly dismissed as “propaganda” by those who have made up their mind that Russia is the aggressor and aren’t about to let the facts get in the way. So, really, they are for those who already know the truth but are eager for updates not available anywhere else. I haven’t kept a tally of the preferences stated here, but it seems that this guy is more popular.

NEW YORK, March 17. /TASS/. The West’s bailout financing for Ukraine is insufficient, Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal published on Tuesday.
Jaresko’s statement came just a few days after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved an expanded rescue package for Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian finance minister said the financial aid package could stabilize the country’s financial and banking system but was not sufficient to help jump-start the economy, the paper said.

March 17. /TASS/. The Iskander tactical ballistic missile systems will be redeployed during a surprise inspection of troops to the Kaliningrad region in Russia’s northwest, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry told TASS on Tuesday.
“The redeployment of the fighter and bomber aviation is planned to the Kaliningrad region, and the army grouping in the Baltic region will be reinforced with the Iskander missile systems of the Western Military District that will be moved by the large landing ships of the Baltic Fleet,” said the source.
IEV, March 16. /TASS/. Local elections in Donbass are unlikely to be held this year, a Ukrainian lawmaker said on Monday.
“Elections will be held after we change the constitution and after decentralization,” Yuri Lutsenko, the leader of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, told the ICTV television channel.
He said elections in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions could be held “only after the restoration of Ukrainian laws there.”
On Friday, March 13, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said elections in Donbass should take place after the situation there normalized. “The Ukrainian authorities must resume their activity in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, new local elections must be held there,” he said in an interview with the Ukrainian television channel One Plus One.
“But these elections are to be help when conditions are ripe for free and democratic elections. No elections will be held until these conditions are met,” he said.
“Overall, one may state that medium intensity positional warfare of sorts is going on at Shirokino. Furthermore, both sides expect that the military action may intensify in the foreseeable future.”
Already after talking to the battalion commander I learned that the junta painted several tanks in DPR colors and sent them to attack our positions at Shirokino on March 15″

“The delegation of representatives of more than 15 different international human rights and humanitarian organizations along with the UN representatives visited Donetsk on the 13th of March. As the guests said, the main purpose of their visit was to see everything with their own eyes. The foreign guests were offered to visit Petrovsky district of Donetsk, which has been regularly mentioned in the military summaries. According to Director of the Operational Division at the UN for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs John Ging, he was quite impressed by the scale of destruction, so he’d remember it for a long time.
After making a “tour” of the city, the delegations met with the Chairman of the DPR National Council Andrey Purgin and the DPR human rights ombudswoman Darya Morozova. Andrey Purgin and Darya Morozova told them about all the problems of Donbass.
The delegations thanked the DPR authorities for having an open dialogue and providing security. They expressed hope for further cooperation(re humanitarian aid). The delegations said that the trip considerably improved their image of the plight of people in Donbass.On the 26th of March, the authorized representative of all those organizations, which saw the situation with their own eyes, will arrive in Donetsk. After that, they will begin systematic work on the international humanitarian aid to Donbass.
