    More results from the Western appeasement attempts at a unilateral move force on the Ukraine by the West.

    Seems to be no reciprocal moves by Russian anywhere on the horizon to be seen.

    Short sample of the continuous shellings and ground attacks today—evening and early morning will be interesting as will the final attack counts for the day.

    Reference MH17---------

    Really good article on the top Russian suspect who potentially ordered the shot down of MH17…based on Ukrainian voice intercepts of his cell calls.

    Putin DNR-Whatever Russia(n) GRU instructors now covering their faces to avoid being identified in Ukraine--unintended consequences--makes it easier to see who is GRU in their mercenary training videos the Russians are posting in large numbers on YouTube.

    This was the answer from Putin after his Security Meeting yesterday-----

    JUST how did the West think Putin is going to come off of the "Bosnian solution"??? Any student of foreign affairs especially European affairs knows this is what Putin wants to be able to control completely the Ukraine AND western leaders did not know this????

    SO what is their solution for the Ukraine now--to push them to completely cave to Russian demands ie appeasement on the part of Obama and company?????


    Russia Calls Ukrainian Constitutional Changes Inadequate

    By RFE/RL

    July 18, 2015



    NOTICE: Did anyone outside of the Ukraine repeat the mantra in this conference call "we have fulfilled our definition of Minsk 2--you Russia are still absolutely not in full compliance with any point in Minsk 2"--nothing of the sort from the western leadership side--only the Ukraine stated Russia had not fulfilled anything.

    WHY is that?--three weeks ago all western leaders were beating up Russia with the accusation of non compliance of all points in Minsk 2---NOW after the Iran Deal--total silence.

    AND this is not appeasement????

    The US signature is on a document called the "1994 Budapest Memorandum" which states the US and the UK will protect Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity from outside attack--DOES this seem like they are "protecting it"????
    So was the Western pressure on the Ukraine in the end the second "Munich 1938" appeasement?????

    Constitutional Change in Ukraine Gives Putin Three Victories, Illarionov Says

    Paul Goble

    Staunton, July 18 – By including in the Ukrainian constitutional provision specifying that Kyiv will come up with a new law governing certain portions of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the Verkhovna Rada has in effect adopted “a pro-Putin constitutional model for Ukraine” and given the Kremlin leader three dangerous victories over Kyiv, according to Andrey Illarionov.

    In a commentary on Kasparov.ru yesterday, the Russian analyst says that supporters of the changes, including Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, downplay their significance, arguing that they are not as far-reaching as opponents, who call them an act of national betrayal insist (kasparov.ru/material.php?id=55A91B58D5EA1).

    The specific language of the change in Article 18, Illarionov continues, reads as follows: “The special features of the realization of local self-administration in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts will be defined by a separate law” to be adopted at some later point (w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/webproc4_1?pf3511=55812).

    “Strictly speaking,” he continues, this gives some basis for the conflicting interpretations. Obviously, “the special features of local self-administration cannot be called a status.” But the fact that this is now included in the Constitution itself and draws a distinction between parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and all other parts of Ukraine makes it more like one.

    According to Illarionov, this new provision has “at a minimum, three essential characteristics” each of which works for Vladimir Putin and against Ukraine.

    First of all, it represents a fulfillment of part of the Minsk 2 accords; and “in the event that the Ukrainian authorities accidently ‘forget’ about this, they will beyond any doubt be reminded of it by their Western allies in the shape of Obama, Kerry, and Nuland who in turn will say that the Ukrainians must meet the Minsk accords regardless of whether Russia does or not.”

    Second, the adoption of this constitutional change effectively annuls the earlier decision by Kyiv to declare the Eastern Donbas “occupied territories.” That in turn means “either that the Ukrainian authorities control this territory themselves or they have agreed with those who control this territory now … the beginning of de facto legitimation of the separatists by Kyiv.”

    And third, by approving this amendment, the Verkhovna Rada has in fact come out in support of something Putin had been asserting “without particular success” earlier: “the occupied Donbas is not like occupied Crimea, but occupied Crimea is not like occupied Donbas,” thereby undermining Ukraine’s claim to Crimea as well.

    Illarionov says that “the next ‘legal’ steps for undermining the sovereignty of Ukraine are completely predictable. The Constitutional Court will give a positive assessment of the Law adopted yesterday.” Then, the Verkhovna Rada “before the end of the year” will adopt on second reading the amendments. And then on the basis of that, the Ukrainian legislature will adopt a special law about “the special features of local self-administration in the Eastern Donbas.”

    What is perhaps worst of all, he suggests, is that this is being done by the Ukrainians themselves at the behest of the West even though such steps will only strengthen “a pro-Putin constitutional model for Ukraine” and weaken Ukraine as a state with the right to make decisions for itself.
    Russian propaganda and or actually the "truth"?????

    Disorder Spreads Among Russian-Backed Ukranian Rebels
    Published on Friday, 17 July 2015 21:36

    Written by Paul-Quinn Judge

    On Tuesday (July 14th) morning Yelena Filippova, secretary to the head of Ukraine’s rebel Democratic People’s Republic (DPR) of Donetsk, Alexander Zakharchenko, was badly injured when her car exploded as she drove to work. That afternoon, a prominent DPR politician was shot and wounded on one of the main streets of the city. With evening came fragmentary reports that a military building in central Donetsk had been blockaded by troops.

    A senior military officer then told interviewers that the DPR defense ministry had been “abolished”. Throughout all this, Zakharchenko remained silent and invisible. So did his defense minister, Vladimir Kononov, and another power broker, Alexander Khodakovsky, secretary of the rebels’ national security council.

    Comment, in the DPR media or from the authorities, has been vague and sparse. Following events in eastern Ukraine in the year since the creation of Moscow-sponsored separatist entities in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk has never been easy. The government is small, suspicious of Westerners and laconic in its comments. Access to the area is difficult, leaving outsiders mostly dependent on bloggers, social media and occasional phone calls with officials.

    DPR officials told pro-rebel media that Tuesday’s car bomb attacks were political in nature, and then a senior DPR official, Denis Pushilin, vice-speaker of the People’s Council -(parliament) lashed out at what they described as mounting “provocations” by former heroes “of the DPR independence struggle”.

    Pushilin also announced that the ranking DPR officer who had announced the defense ministry’s “abolition”, Sergei Petrovsky (better known by his radio call sign, “Grumpy”), was not qualified to make such claims; such allegations, he added, could only come from someone who was working for Ukrainian or other enemy intelligence. No one from the defense ministry has, however, commented.

    Donetsk officials then stated the blockade of a military building was part of a criminal investigation by the Ministry of State Security. The flurry of claims and counter claims is strangely timed. Persistent though so far unconfirmed reports in local Donetsk media claim that Vladislav Surkov, President Putin’s point man on Ukraine, arrived in Donetsk on Tuesday. He does not come often, and one would have thought the DPR would be on its best behaviour.


    Tuesday’s violence and confusion follow a month or two of mounting anxiety and tension in Ukraine’s separatist camp. Speculation is growing that Moscow has lost interest in Donetsk and Luhansk, but, rather than declaring peace and going home, that it wants to concentrate on a longer-term effort to subvert Ukraine politically.

    Rumours that Zakharchenko will be replaced have been circulating for months. He also seems out of his depth in politics, and can swing wildly across the political spectrum, at times talking obediently of the need to implement the Minsk peace agreements, at others denouncing them and rejecting Moscow’s assertion that Donetsk and Luhansk are still really part of Ukraine.

    Khodakovsky has been widely described as Zakharchenko’s most likely successor. A former commander of the pre-war Ukrainian counter-terror forces in Donetsk oblast, Khodakovsky has Russia’s trust, but is roundly disliked by many other military commanders, especially those who want a swift and decisive resumption of military activities.

    So what do Tuesday’s events mean?

    For a start they are a reminder that the self-declared government of Donetsk is a fragile and volatile mess. Though better organised than its junior separatist partner in Luhansk, it is unstable, fragmented and could one day simply implode. Its half dozen or so leaders and their factions are constantly jostling for power in struggles that have ended several times in the death of senior military figures.

    Moscow has created and equipped a large rebel fighting force, well armed, but neither particularly well trained or disciplined. There is not even a reliable estimate of the separatists’ military strength: Ukraine claims they number 33,000, Donetsk many more. In fact, Russia has done little to create a working government structure in either Luhansk or Donetsk, which some see as a sign that it views the two separatist entities as short-term expedients.

    There is just a chance, though, that the events of Tuesday night could be in part an indication that the Kremlin realises that they have created a big problem – for themselves as well as Ukraine. The latest issue of one of Moscow’s smaller military journals, Voenno-Promyshlenny Kur’er, known for its discussion of fashionable issues such as hybrid war, carried an article on the U.S. doctrine of “stabilising operations”. After a long discussion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the article veered off to the Donbas.

    The Kur’er referred to the “endless stream” of contraband, much of it illegal weapons, that has been crossing the Ukrainian-Russian border since fighting started. It warned of the risk of increased criminality on both sides of the border. “We should admit that fighting in the Donbas is a seriously destabilising factor, which should be urgently nipped in the bud”, it said.


    Stepping gently round the question of Russian military operations – after all the Kremlin denies any military engagement in eastern Ukraine – the article suggested that “covert participation by the Russian side would not only improve the humanitarian situation, but also facilitate a normal political atmosphere in the south east”, one that would thwart “attempts to divide up power, which lead to murders.”

    If this article in fact reflects thinking within the Kremlin, rebel-held Donetsk may well see more turbulence and unusual night-time operations.

    It's called redeployment, stupid | #Zakharchenko: "#DPR" to pull back tanks and IFVs from quiet parts of the front.

    Reference the Polish LOT crash that Putin still has not returned the crash debris nor assisted Poalnd in their investigation from 2010 and remember it is Russia who demanded in front of the UN a transparent and thorough investigation ALL the while blaming the Ukraine---now the shoe is on the other foot and they are finding excuse after excuse.

    How Russians handled the wreckage of TU-154M that crashed near Smolensk April 10, 2010 https://youtu.be/ZWzzqDHXpOk

    No wonder Russia and Putin are flipping out over an actual investigation with actual criminals involved and Hague hanging over him.

    just finished phone talks to 3 peeps in donetsk, everyone is sure it's DPR mortaring

    Constant explosions can be heard at the #Donetsk live feed right now. Almost sounds like during airport assaults.

    Ruscists claimed they'll withdraw <100mm weapons tday, then #Donetsk center is shelled, out of Ukr guns reach.

    Mortar rounds shaking #Donetsk city center. Just a matter of time until they blame #Ukraine forces. Provocation at it's best.

    Lots of mortar rounds incoming in Donetsk center now. Center is out of reach for UA army mortars!

    Here we go: RT says #Ukraine forces are shelling #Donetsk residental areas, hit buildings
    matter of time as i said..minutes ago

    Rebel emergencies ministry in #Donetsk says that shelling has caused 3 fires in the city, no information on casualties yet

    One big #Russia|n show again. An hour ago this:
    "#DPR Defense Ministry announces imminent withdrawal of weapons with caliber under 100mm"

    hour later, multiple buildings burning in #Donetsk center due to shelling.

    BREAKING: Heavy shelling started in #Donetsk
    incoming in city center and other places!

    And as we speak #Donetsk center again is being shelled: https://twitter.com/xuilolala/status/622465823886700544

    Spasidonbas (RU) video from 16 July shows Russian T-72s within 350m of contact line - plus reports of Grad MLRS.

    False flag attack is still ongoing-------

    Russia info-ops channels claiming heavy #Ukraine shelling of #Donetsk. Seems heavy escalation coming now. http://www.rt.com/news/310191-donets...rces-shelling/

    Well, this is it then. Russian forces shell their own" and a hospital in Donetsk city to pin blame on Ukraine and justify a new offensive.

    AFTER Russian FM delete THEN this via the same Russian FM

    Lavrov, Steinmeier stress on phone need for soonest Ukrainian army withdrawal from Shyrokyne - Russian Foreign Ministry -- IFX

    AND there was no direct threat to the Germans--clear as a bell there was--and the Russians slipped up on their social media side of the house and forgot tweets can be tracked.

    Massive Russian "false flag" shelling of Donetsk is still in progress along with heavy Russian propaganda being hammered via RT and Life News----together with extremely heavy shellings and ground attacks all along the eastern front lines now----

    THIS is the key Putin personal rep who was behind the first major attack three weeks ago and now this “false flag attack.

    In last 3 days #Putin's personal aide #Surkov was in #Donetsk (as usual before a #Donbas offensive) & a fresh ammunition convoy arrived.


    It's pretty grim reading, skimming thru Russian MSM and social media - Total hatchet job on Ukraine: blame for #Donetsk. Goodbye #Minsk2

    Russia TV reports "massive shelling" of #Donetsk.
    It was only 1 (!) howitzer & ALL the impacts were in front of a tripod mounted HD camera.

    DPR fabricates the vid with presumably artillery shells' debris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7E7v7YFBRM

    However, most of #Donetsk shelling coverage is in "Novorossiya" Russian media, not as much as we expected in Russian MSM, so far [Micheál]

    Donbass under heavy shelling. Just 2 days after #Russia's 32nd "humanitarian" convoy entered East #Ukraine without permission

    22:18 #Donetsk today, Azotny @evergreen_dn RUS are shelling Donetsk again w/heavy mortars to imitate UKR shelling pic.twitter.com/5mIrJoQsPa

    More shell hits, it doesn't stop, it's louder than on the vids! https://twitter.com/CatBoobon/status/622487312350314496

    Yesterday Putin met National Security Council to discuss Ukraine's "failure" to give autonomy to DPR/LPR. Tonight Russia shells #Donetsk...

    Russian TV channels keep interviewing the same *injured* woman in different locations around #Donetsk. Actress? pic.twitter.com/GU7JzxD3rO

    youtube.com/watch?v=muiAqCycU3c … 3 civilians killed in #Avdiivka shelling 2 days after West+#Russia 'decentralize' #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/waFwRqV6Zb

    22:18 #Donetsk @Buzzing_Rook Lokks like mortar bomb damage, not howitzer shell one pic.twitter.com/ZxQTfc11t9

    22:13 #Maryinka @faina_ukr I've jinxed it [=reported before of lull]. Again all hell broke loose

    Russia will begin a new offensive tonight as the new moon will cover special forces crossing by the Kalmius and Siverskyi Donets rivers.

    Russian mercenary DNR leader issued strict orders via his VK account exactly one hour before the first mortar shells hit Donetsk to massively shell Ukrainian positions if they were fired at--false flag shelling then was launched by Russians which then gave the mercenaries "the right to return heavy fire".

    1 hour before heavy shelling of #Donetsk began, Zakharchenko gave DPR troops "strict orders" https://vk.com/dnrarmy?w=wall-51146063_4457
