So the guy you voted for seems to have a whole different approach to the separatists than what you were championing when the insurrection started. Did you know he would take this line and change your mind, or does this come as a surprise to you?

A large separatist rally was held in a central Donetsk city square around lunchtime Sunday. The protesters, who chanted pro-Russia slogans as they were addressed by separatist leaders, were joined by a substantial number of militants on trucks, some firing guns into the air.

On the back of some of the trucks were armed men who appeared to be Chechen. Two told a CNN team they were from the Chechen capital, Grozny, and one indicated that he was formerly a policemen in Chechnya and was in Donetsk to serve the Russian Federation.

The men, who as Chechens are Russian citizens, said they were there as "volunteers." But if their accounts were true, their presence in Donetsk would appear to indicate some kind of acquiescence by the Russian government at the least.

DONETSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian security forces and rebels continued to battle Monday night for this city’s airport hours after president-elect Petro Poroshenko promised in Kiev to unite his country, a pledge that appeared no closer to reality one day after the billionaire won office.

Poroshenko, who made his fortune in chocolate, must now guide his divided nation through a pro-Russian rebellion in eastern Ukraine that has created the greatest tension between the West and Russia since the Cold War.

It was unclear late Monday who was in control of Donetsk International Airport, where a firefight broke out earlier in the day when Ukrainian forces and helicopters moved in, hours after armed pro-Russia militants seized the terminal. Shots were still ringing out in the area.

The rebels took the airport sometime before 7 a.m., when the airport’s Web site announced its closure and the cancellation of flights without explaining why. Local police set up a roadblock at the intersection of the airport access road and Vzlyotnaya Boulevard, about six miles from the city center.

Shortly after 1 p.m., four Ukrainian helicopters flew over the treetops near the airport, and within minutes, machine-gun fire erupted west of the terminal. Heavy explosives were heard nearby, especially to the east, where black smoke billowed from the vicinity of a large shopping plaza. Military jets flew overhead, dropping chaff to counter possible antiaircraft missiles.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday called for a halt to military action in eastern Ukraine, separatists from the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic reportedly headed to Donetsk to provide reinforcements.

"Our troops have already been sent to Donetsk and Slovyansk. We are not only helping with equipment, but also with people," the head of the Luhansk republic, Valery Bolotov, told journalists on Tuesday, Rambler.ru reported.

Heavy fighting erupted in Donetsk late Monday, as pro-Russian separatists engaged in a shootout with Ukrainian troops at the city's airport.

Alexander Lyukyanchenko, the self-proclaimed mayor of Donetsk, said 40 people had been killed in Monday's violence, including two civilians, regional news outlet OstroV reported Tuesday.

People’s Republic, a separatist group that controls this eastern region of Ukraine, said on Tuesday that about 50 pro-Russian militiamen had been killed the day before in heavy fighting with Ukrainian forces for control of a crucial airport

[PostFactum]

So today:
1. It's not a secret that Ukrainians have a new president, Petro Poroshenko - he decided to sell all his business, as he said "Everything that I want to do for nearest 5 years is to be president of Ukraine".
2. As the result of Donetsk battle few kamazes of terrorists were destroyed, more than 50 terrorists are dead, few civilians dead too. Ukrainian army has few wounded guys.
3. Donetsk morgue is overloaded with bodies of terrorists, they are in panic, because many of them are Russian citizens and soldiers from Chechen republic. If Ukrainians will get this bodies, Putin will feel very uncomfortable. SBU captured a conversation between leader of separatists and someone from Russia, guy from Russia said that bodies must be destroyed in any case. He recommended to blow up city morgues.
4. New terrorists from Slovyansk arrived to Donetsk and made their base in one of schools, school is surrounded by Ukrainian army.
5. On Ukrainian border was fight between Ukrainian border police and armed guys without any signs on clothes. They were moving by kamazes, cars and bus. Border police said that they saw near 50 kamazes full of people. One car and bus were shut down, one terrorist is seriously wounded. The others entered Ukraine in a way of Antracit city. Russians say that they didn't see anything on their side of border.
6. Russian media imagine a lot of fairy tales about Ukraine, I was laughing hard: Americans are here and help us, we kill our people and those who don't want to fight with Russians etc.
7. Terrorists are in panic and some of them started working with SBU and Ukrainian forces: they tell about positions, weapons and quantity of terrorists.
8. Ukrainian forces rush and eliminate separatists all the time.
9. Journalists say that Ukrainian forces and SBU received a objective from government not to capture separatist, just eliminate them. Forces and SBU said that this is not true. I don't know if that's true too, but since last 3 days only one terrorist was captured.
10. Separatists put 2 bags on heads of Ukrainian cops in Gorlivka and shoot them down for high treason to DNR.
11. LNR said to DNR that they declared war to each other, but I have some doubts about it.
12. Separatists shoot down inhabitants of Donbass and say that it was done by Ukrainian forces.
13. Web site of Ukrainian election department was attacked from Russia.
14. Ukrainian forces use helicopters, armoured vehicles, planes and newest weapons.
15. Terrorist training base was destroyed by Ukrainian forces, it was located 700 meters near Russian-Ukrainian border.
16. One guy in internet blog said "They showed us Russian spring, now we will show them hot Ukrainian summer" I hope that's true.

Ukraine troops have regained control of the airport in the eastern city of Donetsk from pro-Moscow separatists. The European security watchdog, OSCE, has lost contact with a four-man team near the city

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/arti ... 01001.html

Ukraine's announcement Tuesday that it is quitting the Commonwealth of Independent States would be the last nail in the coffin of the Kremlin's Moscow-centered integration project built on the bones of the Soviet Union, analysts said.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has filed paperwork on the country's departure from the CIS with the country's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, acting ministry head Andrii Deshchytsia said, Itar-Tass reported.

Ukraine's newly elected President Petro Poroshenko had not commented on the matter as of this story's publication.

Russia has alternative integration schemes for the post-Soviet space, but in the absence of Ukraine, they are likely to remain opportunistic alliances whose members — mostly Central Asian nations — would be looking for Russian money but not strategic affiliation with Moscow, experts said.

Although Moscow has already signalled, on all levels, that it is prepared to give the new Ukrainian leader a chance, and a possible visit to Russia in June has already been mentioned.

But, ironically, the biggest challenge facing Poroshenko in the next several months comes not from Russia or the so-called separatists in the east but from Ukraine's very own oligarchs, who now see the newly-elected president as a potential threat to their business empires.

It was one thing when Poroshenko was just a candidate, but once that inauguration comes, he will have the power to not only to put financial pressure on the oligarchs but also to order their arrest and put them in prison for the many sins they have committed. And the example of Tymoshenko ending up in the slammer in the times of President Yanukovich must be still fresh in their minds.

Make no mistake, the oligarchs with their vast wealth, their personal armies and their people in the government machine, the police and the intelligence services will not stay idle. The horse trading and the scratching of backs was going on ever since Poroshenko emerged as the favorite for the presidency.

But that doesn't mean he can't be pragmatic and go back on his promises. And it sure doesn't mean that the rest will keep their word as well. Especially as some of the oligarchs actually prefer a situation of instability and uncertainty, as they thrive under such conditions and find it easier to jostle for power.

Many are not aware of the interconnection between Ukraine & Russia for arms production.


http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_As ... 70514.html

Ukraine is also home to Motor-Sich, a firm that designs and manufactures aircraft and helicopter engines, as well as turbine engines for pumps for gas, oil and other applications including power-generation. Basically all of Russia's military helicopters use engines made by Motor-Sich. The firm also makes the engines for Russia's Yak 160 fighter/trainer. Russian military analyst Vladimir Voronov says Russia has an ambitious plan to add 1,000 attack helicopters to its armed forces, but this would be almost impossible without Motor Sich's provision of engines.

Ukraine also boasts an advanced space rocket and missile design and production industry, one of the few nations in the world that has a mature space rocket production complex. Located in south-eastern Ukraine's Dnepropetrovsk, it produced many of the rockets in the early Soviet space program, as well as parts for many missiles and rockets such as Russia's famous Soyuz, and components for the International Space Station. It also designed, manufactured and today still services Russia's main intercontinental ballistic missile, the deadly SS18.

Ukraine is also home to what at its high tide accounted for 30% of the Soviet Union's shipbuilding industry (Global Security), and it continues to provide shipbuilding services for many nations, including China for whom it provided the Varyag, which the Chinese finished and turned into their first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, which recently entered service.
