    For those wondering, Russ-backed separatists in Donetsk still holding humanitarian activist Marina Cherenkova and scholar Ihor Kozlovsky …

    Whatever side you are on, be clear on one thing: arrests totally against interests of locals. Marina was at forefront of humanitarian effort

    Each barrel of recoverable oil costs $35 to produce. 'Russian companies have stopped making long-term investments.'

    Interesting as Russian oil companies and Russian government have always claimed it cost 17USD.

    Stay tuned to @Interpreter_Mag. I think, after all these years, the worst case scenarios are playing out in Syria & Ukraine in the same week

    Fascinating new @CrisisGroup report on Russia and the internal dynamics of rebel-held Ukraine http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/F...rn-ukraine.pdf

    UA NSDC will remove security classification from documents of "Russia's Crimean invasion period"

    Russia has been refusing to do demarcation of borders with its neighbors for 25 years - appeared to be the policy. https://twitter.com/ukrtwinews/statu...66590893871104

    Strong Russian shellings and ground attacks.....
    It's coming from the North/North-east and South/South-west. No lines around here, so I suspect is outgoing.

    Referencing the first Russian non linear war front...eastern Ukraine....

    NOTICE...the UAF is under full scale Russian attacks across the entire front line AND what comes from the West...yawn, yawn, yawn...what is the noise all about as we have a solid "ceasefire" as that is what Putin "said" and did not Kerry state after his visit with Putin "with effort and some good faith" sanctions can be lifted.

    So did Kerry actually lie OR does he not fully recognize Russia's non linear war that is in full gear........AGAIN....what a heck of a great example of Russian "good faith"....84 attacks up from 81 the previous day.

    News
    84 (pro-)#Russian attacks on the Ukrainian line of defence yesterday.
    2nd "record" in as many days since August 2015.

    MORE Russian lies to justify their complete violation of Minsk 2 and the fact they are constantly attacking the UAF.....

    Basurin: "Kiev pulled 17 MLRS, 8 self-propelled artilleries and 5 tanks to the front"

    They must be invisible as the #OSCE didn't see them.

    Rule of thumb...WHEN Russian media makes these statements...in non linear warfare "speak" they do the exact opposite...

    News
    "DNR will not take heavy arms back to the contact line and will continue to obey Minsk plan."
    - RIA news agency
    Get ready for war!

    BTW...both Lavrov and Putin engage in the same tactic of doing the exact opposite of what they say....

    REALITY. .....The OSCE has seen countless Russian heavy weapons and troop violations all along the front line in the last two weeks of fighting and Russia continues to deny OSCE free movement as agreed to in Minsk 2....ALL in direct violation of Minsk 2.

    So when they are attacking they "claim" it is the other side attacking...all along it is their own mercenary army.....
