Reaction of international community on events in Ukraine

Rapporteur on Ukraine in the European Parliament Jacek Saryusz-Wolski stated that within at least the last 10 years Russia has been stepping up its armament and preparing for military aggression. “It was our mistake – we thought that our active political efforts to enhance strategic partnership with Moscow will civilize Russia. And this is happening in the situation when at least in the last 10 years Moscow has been stepping up its armament and preparing for military aggression,” he said.

Head of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Anne Brasseur spoke on the possibility to fully stop Russia’s membership in the Assembly in January 2015. “I cannot foresee the future however I am of the opinion that in case no changes in the positive direction will occur before January there’s a high probability that not only the powers of the Russian delegation will not be restored but on the contrary an opinion will be expressed that we would not want to work with the Russian delegation here,” said Anne Brasseur.

Defence Minister of France Jean-Yves Le Drian claimed that France “in the nearest days” plans to launch a joint operation with Germany to monitor ceasefire in Donbas. Defence Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany Ursula von der Leyen claimed readiness to provide support to Ukraine upon request. Details of this programme are being currently elaborated.

We herewith remind the journalists who plan coverage in the ATO zone on the need to get accredited with the Security Service of Ukraine and to adhere to the rules of work in the ATO zone.

Respective contact details for accreditation and rules of work for accredited media could be found on the web site of the State Security Service of Ukraine.

CBC: Ukraine: Putin orders Russian troops away from border

$1:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered thousands of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border to return to their usual bases, according to his spokesman.

Dmitry Peskov told Russian news outlets late Saturday in Sochi that Putin had ordered approximately 17,600 troops to return home from Rostov, a southern region that borders east Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents have been battling government troops since April.

Uh huh. We heard that before.

Been there; done that. Wasn't quite so bad. In fact, people did jump on me. I had to correct spelling and grammar after the fact, so some of my posts that were "edited" were originally written drunk. I guess I've posted drunk so often that people haven't noticed.

CBC: Vadym Prystaiko says West losing interest in Ukraine

$1:

The Ukrainian ambassador to Canada says the West is turning away from helping his country for fear of taking on Russia.

In a frank, final interview with CBC News before he leaves his post in Ottawa, Vadym Prystaiko spoke with frustration about the level of military support offered to Ukraine in its battle with pro-Russian separatists, compared with the coalition mission in Iraq.

"You’re bombing, you’re sending F-18s… Iraq’s government is asking for help and you’re sending everything. Then the Ukrainian government asks you the same… and you tell us what? No."
...
Prystaiko is not your average diplomat.

After postings in Canada, the U.S. and a role on Ukraine’s NATO negotiating team, he has been asked personally by the president to return home to run the Ukrainian foreign ministry.

However, his appointment as deputy foreign minister cannot be confirmed until the new Ukrainian government is in place in December.
...
In July, the ambassador publicly complained that the Canadian government had not yet delivered on a promise made in March to loan Ukraine more than $200 million.

The ambassador is unrepentant about his criticisms of the delay, blaming "low-ranking bureaucrats" for advising Harper that Canada could offer the money, but then getting hung up on clauses that prevent Canada from giving loans or loan guarantees to countries where there is civil unrest or civil war.

"Seriously? That’s why we’re asking for the money," Prystaiko says.

"It's bullshit. Either you tell your prime minister, you know what, we lied to you, it’s not possible. Or you make it happen."

CBC: Ukraine ceasefire breached again in eastern city of Donetsk

We haven't seen anything from PostFactum since August 12; page 161 of this forum. I'm concerned.

Don't be.
He is fine.
Busy, but fine.

That's good to hear.

Now hopefully he stays that way.

You should just put Russian flags on the enemy positions. It's not like it's any secret anymore that the 'separatists' are just Russian 'little green men'.
