"Die Journalisten, die sich an der Stichprobe in der Gebietshauptstadt Donezk und in anderen Ortschaften der Region beteiligten, befragten insgesamt 186 Personen. Von diesen gaben 62,4 Prozent (116 Personen) Prozent an, an dem Referendum teilnehmen zu wollen. 36,6 Prozent (68 Personen) lehnten das Plebiszit ab, zwei Befragte wussten noch nicht, ob sie abstimmen würden.
Die Stichprobe deutete darauf hin, dass es für die „staatliche Eigenständigkeit“ des Gebiets Donezk eine gesellschaftliche Mehr...
Litt om avdelingen som har hatt tap de siste dagene. Har vært en prioritert avdeling over tid (brukes til internasjonale operasjoner), og er fra vestre delen av landet....

Fra parlamentet i Kiev fra idag. Taleren oppfodrer at man starter forhandlinger med dem i øst, og er nok så hard i sin omtale av regjeringen. Sier at landet er på randen av borgerkrig. Talmannen/presidenten er nok så krass og litt truende i sin korte replikk.
Jeg synes det er interessant at i alle russiske uttalelser som har kommet etter "folkeavstemningene", henvender man seg direkte til Kyiv og til resten av verden. Aldri til separatistene i Donetsk og Lugansk. Denis Pushilins "søknad" om å bli tatt opp i den Russiske Føderasjonen" og Igor' Strelkovs forespørsel om russiske "fredsskapende styrker" blir ignorert.
Jeg lurer på om Russerne er i litt av en klemme med disse opprørerne - det er mulig at dette er hendelser som har kommet litt for langt u...
Tror ikke det er Putin som kjører showet, og overraskende ikke Rinat (trodde det en stund). Men Putin har nok ikke råd politiskt på hjemmebane at denne gjengen blir "knust" av Kiev.
Løsningen for Ukraina finns ikke i Moskva eller Washington, men i Ukraina. Men da må alle parter deeskalere og begynne gi og ta....
"Why would the Regionnaires and oligarchs support Svoboda? The logic is simple, if you remember that the deeply unpopular Yanukovych will not be reelected in 2015 if he runs against a credible democratic candidate. The one person he would, as the lesser of two evils, definitely be able to beat is Svoboda’s head, Oleh Tyahnybok. Here’s the liberal Lviv-based intellectual Taras Voznyak’s analysis: “It’s clear that Tyahnybok will not receive 50%-plus-one votes throughout all of Ukrai...
"Wearing only their protective clothing and hard-hats, the workers said they were “outside politics” and just trying to establish order. Faced with waves of steelworkers joined by the police, the pro-Russian protesters have melted away, as has any sign of the Donetsk People’s Republic or its representatives. Backhoes and dump trucks from the steelworkers’ factory dismantled all the barricades that had been erected."
I dag morges ga Igor' Strelkov Kiev et ultimatum: hvis ikke blokkaden av Slavjansk heves innen 24 timer, vil han starte offensive operasjoner.
Det kan bli en interessant dag i morgen.
Ut i fra det jeg har lest på russiske nettsider "må se kritisk på kildene" har det i dag/15 også vert kamper der 10++ har mista livet og da flest Ukrainske soldater, noe som vil øke den minimale viljen hos hæren til å utdøve vold mot pro-russerne. ...

"But if his background seems incongruous with his current activities, that of Pavel Gubarev, the people's governor of the Donetsk region, is even more mind-boggling.
Gubarev, 31, gained recognition after he was detained by Ukraine's security services and freed in May in exchange for SBU officers.
Prior to that, however, Gubarev was a Santa-for-hire. He has been involved in a promotions and events business in Donetsk since the mid-2000s. A website of his events company still features him in a San...

По данным населения, убитых противник теперь засовывает в пластиковые ящики из-под стрелкового оружия и вывозит в Изюм, где трупами забиты уже все морги — холодильники переполнены.
Rebelerne rapporterer at dem påfører Kievstyrkene store tap. Som vanligt er alt som rapporteres fra partene i utgangspunkt oppspin, men noen ganger med litt sanning....
"Among voters who said they had made up their minds, Mr. Poroshenko was supported by 54.7 percent — enough to avoid a runoff — with 9.6 percent for Ms. Tymoshenko and 6.7 percent for Mr. Tigipko.
With the country still roiled by separatist violence in the east, the growing air of inevitability around Mr. Poroshenko, who has deep business interests in Russia, has redrawn the Ukraine conflict. It has presented the Kremlin with the prospect of a clear negotiating partner, apparently contributing, ...
"The armed men had arrived in two lorries and a dumper truck. They jumped out and launched themselves on the demonstrators. One wound himself into a frenzy and began pistol whipping a man who offered no resistance as blood ran down his face. We were made to lie face down as the men in black uniforms fired into the ground, a metre away, so close to themselves that they were in the danger from bullets ricocheting off the concrete.
The gunmen carrying out the attack in Mariupol we...
"With 252 votes in favor, the Ukrainian parliament finally adopted the so-called ‘Memorandum of peace and consent’. In particular, the document calls "to restore law, order and public safety in the state by stopping bloodshed and bringing to justice those responsible for the killings of civilians during mass protests; to stop the anti-terrorist operation in Ukraine’s southeast and return the soldiers involved in anti-terrorist operations to their places of permanent deployment”."
Det kan jo gå begge veier. Om de regulære ukrainske sikkerhetsstyrkene trekker seg ut - blir de "svarte bataljonene" alene igjen?
Ja, men i så fall bekrefter regjeringen at de har enda mindre kontroll enn de hittil er blitt anklaget for.
Det kan virke som pragmatikerne endelig vinner fram gjennom dialogen mellom Merkel og Poroshenko. Selv om han vant stor respekt ved å uttale det får gå som det går med hans økonomiske interesser i Russland, tror jeg han o...

"It is not clear that the separatists have control of any of the mechanisms of governance required to begin such a nationalisation, but they certainly do have a lot of guns.
"Donetsk for a long time has been a city that has worked on telephone calls," says the editor of a local newspaper who did not want to be named.
"Any problem can be solved with a telephone call, especially for Akhmetov. But now you have 500 people with guns for whom telephone calls don't exist, and all your billions sudden...

Litt om de "svarte" fra uavhengig presse (fransk).
"Members of the Ukrainian ultra-nationalist group Pravy Sektor took part in a commando-style raid against the Donbass referendum last Sunday, killing two unarmed civilians in the town of Krasnoarmeysk, an investigation by Paris Match has found."
