The controversial Shyrokine DMZ: what you need to know

2015/08/03 • News

Appears that the Putin demanded "sign of good faith" was really a smoke screen to get the Ukrainians out of this strategic town with the help of the US and the EU.

Since the Russians only pulled back 1.4km and not verified by the OSCE the Russians have attacked the Ukrainian position four times in the last three days.

Well so much for the US supported/demanded "sign of good faith'????

Guess in Russian doublespeak it means you pull back and get shot at and we do the shooting and do not pull back and yet demand a "sign of good faith" on your part.

WHAT does it take for Obama and Merkel to finally wake up and call it a Russian armed act of aggression in violation of international treaties.

I had actually posted the French demand for the Ukrainians to pull back at exactly the same time as the Putin demand was issued.

Yes, concerted - both Elysee and Kremlin posted the demand on Ukraine withdrawal from Shyrokine same day. Mystery is why.

[OUTLAW 09]

Ukrainian military are starting to post via social media their feelings against the so called "western unilateral appeasements" in not returning fire in order to hold to a "ceasefire" that is not and the West says nothing about the constant Russian shellings in clear violation of the Minsk 2.


I hope this'll never happen, but for today there is such feeling...

This is an interesting and valid comment--WHY do western leaders and the western mass media keep using the term "separatists" or "proRussian supported separatists" WHEN from the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in August 2014 it is nothing but a Russian "hybrid" army.

From a 32,000 Russian "hybrid army" only 6,000 are Donbas Ukrainians-the rest Russian active duty military and or Russian mercenaries.

6,000 Donbas "fighters" out of a civil population before the fighting of 3.2M now after many have fled only 1M and most of them are retirees and disabled.

AND if the Ukraine was actually invaded why does the mass western media keep using the term "civil war".

WHY is it the same every time Western leaders deal with Putin---he "demands from them" that they pressure the Ukraine to do unilateral appeasement moves as a "sign of good faith" WHICH they did and the Ukraine gave in.

BUT THEN THIS---seems to make the Western leaders especially Obama look like utter fools.

Talking, talking talking, shelling, shelling, shelling—over an agreement that both the mercenaries and Russians “claimed” they themselves proposed and in front of rolling Russian media cameras “claimed” they had already done—so why now the massive resistance over the “wording”.

Just gives the Russian troops and her mercenaries more time for shellings----

In Minsk talks will continue today on the text of an agreement to withdraw from the contact line arms caliber 100 mm or less.

BUT all the current Russian shellings are coming from 120mm and larger weapon systems THAT were to have been long ago pulled back and verified by OSCE—which the Russians did not allow.

AND the West responds exactly how---total utter silence that is how.

ATO presser reported 109 russian attacks along the contact line yesterday. Continue to use mortars, artillery, tanks https://www.facebook.com/ato.news/po...43030522374420 …

NOTICE--none of these weapons are under the 100mm that they are talking about in Minsk AND secondly all of these weapons where to have been pulled back in February 2015--and were not and were not verified by OSCE.

SO--Russia is still not in full compliance and or has never implemented any point in Minsk 2 except they can talk, talk, and more talk.

[OUTLAW 09]

Contact group in Minsk yday agreed to restore the infrastructure of Donbass and exchanged lists of prisoners to be released.

NOTICE--it was the Russians that totally stopped all POW exchanges in March 2015--PER Minsk 2 ALL should have been exchanged by the end of February 2015--and yet more talk, talk and more talk-BUT it is just a list.

Minsk 2 demanded a full and complete exchange not lists---AGAIN Russia is not in compliance with Minsk .

[OUTLAW 09]

Examples of Russian Orwellian "doublespeak"---

BUT naturally not supported at all by Russia and or the FSB……..YET somehow they ended up in Moscow—BUT that is not “support” in Russian doublespeak.
