    Russia: We're adding a 57mm cannon to our wheeled APCs.

    Fear us #NATO!

    #Italy: I see you & raise you with a high pressure 120mm tank cannon

    Russian state propaganda goes full throttle on EU Parliament scraping visa obligations for Ukraine inadvertently breaking the news.
    ESPECIALLY since Russia has wanted EU free visas for years and it was stopped after Crimea...

    New derogatory spin by Russian state propaganda accusing Ukraine president Poroshenko (only) speaking in English

    Interesting if in fact confirmed coming from Cyprus.....
    Russia "investing" heavily in Ukraine, just behind EU. Biggest EU investor is "Cyprus" aka Rus oligarchs

    Tensions Rise In Ukraine As Separatists Seize Companies Over#Blockade

    Donbas militants take over control of 40 Ukrainian enterprises, including Ukrtelecom
    https://www.unian.info/economics/180...rtelecom.html#

    Owners of those companies are now indicating they will shut down operations leaving roughly 80,000 eastern Ukrainians out of work and Russia pays their unemployment...

    Sweden and Finland are not neutral since 1995 when joined #EU. Beware Russian calls for new security order.

    Exactly! And no country would trade independence for "permanent neutrality" upon guarantees from Russia

    'Permanent neutrality' would also ruin #OSCE #Helsinki Final Act and its all-important 1st principle. This is exactly what Russia wants.

    The 1st Principle of the Helsinki Act is what Ukraine keeps throwing at Russia....

    http://www.mid.ru/ru/nedostovernie-p...nt/id/2662229#

    Cash-strapped separatists might be aiming to (A) identify new revenue streams and/or (B) extort payments from Akhmetov.

    What coaligarchs can't stand:
    No trade until peace
    No 'special status'/'autonomy' for #Russia-held #Donbas.

    This is a surprising statement from the Russians as the Moldavian President is proRussian.....although the election was a tad bit on the fraud side.....

    Moscow "surprised" as Moldova recalls its ambassador to Russia

    http://www.mediafax.ro/externe/repub...insa-16178518#

    Moldavian President might have found the economic reasons to be closer to EU than say Russia....which Putin was trying to block....

    Poroshenko: Russia has de facto confiscated Ukrainian assets in the occupied territory — another proof of the occupation by Russia

    Major Ukrainian metallurgy plant says it will have to buy Russian coal as a result of Donbass blockade.
    https://ria.ru/world/20170301/1489073641.html#

    BUT WAIT...they have been already buying Russian coal....ACTUALLY it was Ukrainian coal stolen and shipped first to Russia and then "sold" to the Ukraine.....

    Over the last two years I have posted countless comments on this coal theft....

    Donbas blockade continues - political opposition is intense but public anger over continued trade with occupied east has long been brewing
