    #News
    Beside Nadja Savchenko, #Russia holds another 29 Ukrainians, taken hostage inside #Ukraine.
    - Ukr center for the release of prisoners


    Appears that somehow regardless of what they say the Russian leadership is "somewhere out there in space without a safety net".

    Notice not a single mention that maybe just maybe Russian actions are in fact contributing to the "increased tension" but hope it is the other guy's fault.

    Latest from OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine based on information received as of 19:30 (Kyiv time), 26 June 2015

    At the JCCC headquarters in Soledar (government-controlled, 75km north-east of Donetsk), the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Federation Armed Forces representatives at the JCCC presented the SMM with two separate logbooks, both indicating a majority of ceasefire violations committed by the “Lugansk People’s Republic” (“LPR”) and “DPR” armed groups. The Ukrainian Major General, Head of the Ukrainian side to the JCCC, stated that, in the morning of 26 June, the “DPR” forces launched 122 rockets from six Grad-P light portable rocket systems, impacting in the vicinity of Berdianske (government-controlled, 103km south of Donetsk, 18km east of Mariupol), destroying a JCCC vehicle and forcing representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to abandon a JCCC observation post. The Russian Federation Armed Forces Chief of Staff also referred to usage of approximately six pieces of Grad-P light portable rocket systems

    Lots of pro-Russian militants in Horlivka consider leaving “DPR” due to 3-month payment delay.

    Russia has truly not learned a single thing out of the Maidan other than fear they will lose their power and money.

    Armenia today


    When a civil society stands up because they sense that their own government is providing them poor governance and or the lack of the rule of law--then that government will with time cease to exist--that is the lesson from the Maidan and it appears Armenians have their version of the Maidan just around the corner.

    Martin Luther King and the concept of peaceful resistance in the face of police threatened violence seems to have made it to Armenia today just as it did in the Maidan..

    The idiots never learn. Every time they attacked Maidan popular support and will to resist grew.

    When a civil society stands up because they sense that their own government is providing them poor governance and or the lack of the rule of law--then that government will with time cease to exist--that is the lesson from the Maidan and it appears Armenians have their version of the Maidan just around the corner.

    Martin Luther King and the concept of peaceful resistance in the face of police threatened violence seems to have made it to Armenia today just as it did in the Maidan..

    The idiots never learn. Every time they attacked Maidan popular support and will to resist grew.

    The crowd consists of youth, pensioners, women, children, 50,000+ #ElectricYerevan pic.twitter.com/7N7ZYbJcxT

    “Provocateurs”—that was the same argument used at the Maidan by the Ukrainian Berkat Police---the crowds have been actually quite peaceful.

    Again it has been corruption that triggered this—the entire Armenia energy system and production is owned by Russia oligarchs and the solution the government offered the people was a government subsidy that in effect was going to be taken out of their own tax money so in effect the population was actually paying the subsidy—and the government “thought” the civil society would “accept” the compromise??

    Here's the thing: #ElectricYerevan isn't Maidan, but using force against peaceful protestors is probably the best way to turn it into Maidan

    Respect to #ElectricYerevan - A most dignified, peaceful and determined protest. Any Police violence would be a crime.

    Police force at end of baghramian blinked, thousands of people who were being blocked pour onto baghramian.

    ElectricYerevan They have opened police line on Moscovyan side with people flooding in so it looks like police may be backing off.

    The way remarkable civil society uprising in post-Soviet Armenia is largely ignored by global media tonight is just sad

    As #ElectricYerevan protests continue, the govt's problem: in tiny Armenia: everyone knows everyone, so police are less willing to crackdown

    Chanting We Are the Owners of our Country, crowds going crazy at #ElectricYerevan as police continue to check bins
