Results of the week. “You are already indebted to the sea: neither the bottom nor the coast”
Protesters outside the Russian embassy in Kiev attacked the diplomatic mission. Several hundred people threw stones at the building, incendiary bottles, eggs, explosive bags. The Russian tricolor was torn off the flagpole, and the banner of the Ukrainian Nazis was “hoisted” in its place. The diplomatic missions cars were turned over, the attackers depicted a swastika on them as an autograph. The building was lined with tires - everything was prepared for arson.
The attack on a foreign embassy is an act that finally put what was left of Ukraine, in a number of backward third world countries. In principle, even before the attack, it was clear that Ukrainian obscurantism was going off scale, but now this overwhelm is another indisputable proof. As proof of megadrims, there is also a checkmate from the lips of the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Deschychytsa to Vladimir Putin.
A new territorial entity appeared on the world map - Ukrozombistan.
Russia at the UN Security Council circulated a draft resolution condemning the attack on the embassy. However, the western (fie ...) “friends” draft resolution were unanimously blocked, slightly shouting Kiev verbally.
The Ukrainian embassy in Moscow quietly continues its work ... The deschitsa is still the foreign minister of a “European” state ...

The militia "landed" Ukrainian military transport worker
On Saturday night, an Il-76 military transport aircraft was shot down in the sky over Lugansk. On board the transporter were Ukrainian security forces. Official Kiev confirms the death of 49 people.
The military transport aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force was attacked using MANPADS. According to the statements of Kiev, 40 paratroopers from Dnepropetrovsk and soldiers of the brigade from Melitopol, as well as 9 crew members were killed. The militiamen believe that more dead. The media passed information that on board the IL-76 were soldiers from the Baltic countries. The military was sent to Lugansk airport to participate in punitive operations in the south-east.
In response, Kiev conducted two “super-successful” operations at once: attacked the Russian embassy in Kiev - once; the command of the ATO punitive detachments "destroyed about a thousand terrorists" on their Facebook and Twitter pages - two ...

The paratroopers of the Kiev junta are a pity, as is any dead person. But remember that in any case, the death of these guys will be on the conscience of the criminals of the oligarchs who seized power under the roof of the CIA. And in order to avenge the death of their countrymen and all the rest, you need to cleanse all of Ukraine from this yellow-brown plague, which shamelessly deceives and kills its own people. Good luck in protecting your homeland!
"Reporter" with a sniper rifle
Mariupol has become one of the centers of opposition between the National Guard and self-defense forces. Ukrainian security forces began a punitive operation in a city in the south of the DPR, attacking the headquarters of representatives of the Donetsk People's Republic.
Particularly distinguished themselves during the "capture" of Mariupol, the young man from the battalion "Azov". And among the females were the most fuzzy. One of these is a Swedish neo-Nazi, Michael Skilt, who arrived in Ukraine in April 2014 of the year, in order, in his own words, to help his Ukrainian comrades. The Ukrainian media tried to pass this Swedish-podcast as a reporter when foreign speech was heard behind video footage - they say that this is an ordinary representative of the Western media who talks about a military operation in the south-east. But only then this "reporter" appeared "in all its glory" - with a sniper rifle. Well ... The Swedes are back in Ukraine ... It would be necessary for Skilta and his Ukrainian “comrades-in-arms” to send a parcel with a small book of “Poltava”.

Where was the OSCE Secretary General sent? ..
OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier held a meeting with Ukrainian refugees in the Rostov region. These were precisely those refugees whose very existence Kiev categorically denied, stating that there is no humanitarian catastrophe in the south-east of Ukraine, and that all people, if they leave their homes, then travel exclusively to other regions of Ukraine.
The OSCE Secretary General, who arrived in the Rostov region, apparently hoped that he would convince those who gathered in the infallibility of the new Ukrainian president. Like, Ukrainians, and why are you here - near Rostov, when a true peacemaker, humanist and democrat came to Kiev? But Zanier was quickly explained where they saw this “peacemaker-humanist” together, in fact, with Zanier himself and his OSCE. It is obvious that at the meeting with the Ukrainian refugees, Mr. Secretary General learned many new words that characterize the "success" of the mission of his organization.

Tank issue
Representatives of the national militia declared battles in the vicinity of Lugansk. According to the command of the militia, managed to stop the convoy, consisting of four dozen tanks of the Ukrainian army. Ukrainian media have announced the transfer of tanks for the militias from Russia.
Ukrainian media is undoubtedly the most truthful media on the planet today. In some cases, truthfulness just hits over the edge. What is it worth at least appearing in the press statements that three tanks “either T-70 or T-72” crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border? In order to see in the "transferred" tanks (even if we allow the transfer) the presence of the T-70 tank, you need to really try. Is it possible that he was brought from the museum of military glory? .. It is strange that the Ukrainian journalists did not declare T-34 tanks crossing the border from Russia. And Mark I or squadrons with cart women, they there, by chance, did not notice ...

The man who calls himself the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Mikhail Koval, gave a resonant interview to the Ukrainian media. He said that residents of Donbass, who want to temporarily move to other Ukrainian regions, will undergo a mandatory filtration test.
The use of special filtration camps to divide the population into "one's own" and "alien". Hmmm ... Nazi criminals of the Second World War would have been happy for Mr. Koval: Comrade is on the right path ... I would like to hope that the filtration camps in the future will serve the real benefit of Ukraine - it will be necessary to “walk” representatives of the junta somewhere sentencing by military tribunal.

State Department congratulating
The US State Department sent congratulations to the Russians. The message says that the United States wishes Russian citizens a peaceful and stable future. At the same time, the head of the US Department of State, John Kerry, decided to show off his erudition, but this "brilliance" came out somewhat specific.
John Kerry was in shock:
2014 marks 200 since the birth of Lermontov, 215 since the birth of Pushkin and 100 since the release of Akhmatova's poetical collection "Rosary". We join the Russians in honoring these and many other titans of Russian culture and literature, who have unusually enriched our nations.
Sorry, Kerry did not remember the Stalin's 135 anniversary. Although you can remind him ... For example, officially invite Kerry and Psaki to this anniversary - well, at least just to look at the expressions of these gosdepovskih persons. Let them enrich ...

Ukroarmiya: what else weapon apply?
One of the suburbs of Slavyansk Ukrainian security forces again subjected to massive shelling. Representatives of the militia claim that this time the punitive detachments used projectiles that exploded at a certain height and hit the targets with burning parts. Civilian objects again turned out to be the “targets” of this virtually indiscriminate firing, or rather what remained of them after the previous attacks of the Ukrainian security forces.
The use of this type of weapon is another war crime committed by the Kiev authorities against their own people.
At the same time, the valiant Ukrainian media immediately stated that the Ukrainian army did not use any incendiary bombs, calling the numerous video footage that appeared on the network as a montage of personnel using this type of ammunition in Iraq. At the same time, the Ukrainian media does not care that the footage of the Iraqi bombardment does not look like that shot in Slavyansk. Yes, by and large, the Ukrainian media do not care about anything at all: there are stories about “humanitarian corridors”, “pinpoint” strikes by Ukrainian security officials, “self-immolation” of people in Odessa, militia shot “on the air conditioner” in Lugansk. The same series of “truthful reports” includes a report on the shooting of Maidan by snipers of the “Berkut” on the personal order of Yanukovich, on the suicide of Sashko Bilogo, on the T-70 tanks, that only alcoholics and drug addicts are against Kiev in the Donbass ... For such The “truth” of UkroSMI will clearly be awarded some big western prize. For example, the award named psaki. How not established? .. We must establish!
Poem from our reader Arberesa:
I know for what ...
Cellar grave.
Children's exhausted face.
And as communication with god
A whisper of furtive prayers.
Up there by a hurricane
Smoke, deadly fire,
The demon feasts bloody,
Splashing broken glass.
The malice of breathing endless
His strength is great
A barrage of explosives and steel,
With dust dubs at home.
Good lord Do something!
Where is your justice ???
See - Slavyansk dies
In a whirlwind of great fire!
I know for what these torments
In the edge of the caravan wander.
Just because there are people
Russian songs are sung.
Sky! Let me see
How vile evil
For slain souls,
Caru in full suffered.
Where is the eternal power
What will stop this hell?
City soaked in blood.
City-SLAVYANSK-STALINGRAD!

And from the bottom of the ocean too ...
The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, during a meeting of the Fund "Commanders and Fleet Commanders", timed to the 120 anniversary of Marshal F.I.Tolbukhin, commented on the situation with war crimes committed in Ukraine today. According to Alexander Bastrykin, none of those individuals who commit crimes in the south-east of Ukraine, will not escape from responsibility.
Alexander Bastrykin, of course, well done - the junta should even feel at a distance the hot breath of the future tribunal. But only the head of the Investigative Committee would not hurt first to restore order on this side of the border. After all, some gentlemen, according to whom the Magadan “beaches” cry, we quietly live among the population, not trying to even temporarily lie “on the bottom”. The excessively vigorous beginning of the investigation of numerous corruption cases is replaced by a rotten swamp. Corruptors get off with a slight fright and promise that they will never do so. From the budget billions to the treasury, at best, some ppm returns. It stands out for the great success of anti-corruption actions. In general, there is no need to subtilize the UK with the ocean floor - everything is on the surface ...

NATO remembered South Ossetia
In the 8 June parliamentary elections in South Ossetia, the United Ossetia party predictably won, the main slogan of which is the republic's entry into the Russian Federation. The conclusion that political scientists have done after the election: voters voted for Russia.
The result of "United Ossetia" was 43,1% with the turnout of 60,14%. Against the background of Russia's rather moderate reaction to the elections in South Ossetia, the reaction of the western “partners” looks much more lively. For example, Mr. Rasmussen decided to speak about the outcome of the election - well, the one that is still the NATO Secretary General. He said that he and the NATO elections did not recognize that such elections, they say, bring instability to the region, he still said a lot.
It would seem that Rasmussen was so agitated ... He would soon be leaving the alliance for a well-deserved vacation, and he was thrust into thinking about the South Ossetian elections. Does he need it?
Well, here it is - he personally does not need it, of course, but for Tbilisi it is necessary to throw sweet candy in the form of endless promises that Georgia “very soon” will enter the North Atlantic “fraternity”. So I had to comment on the South Ossetian expression of will. After all, if he had said nothing, it would have turned out that NATO, as it were, is not against elections in the region as such, but once crowed, it means that the carrot hangs before the eyes of Georgian European integrators. And let this tied carrot lead Georgia in a circle, but in Georgia itself all of this is presented as a movement exclusively forward - towards democracy and prosperity ... In recent years, it flourished before the country's per capita GDP (IMF data for 2013 year) "brought" Georgia already on the 116 place in the world. It is somewhere between Angola and Guatemala ...

And if someone else wants to secede from Russia, the West welcomes it - like, this is the people's desire for freedom. And if someone wants to secede from Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, it is separatism and violation of territorial integrity. It is time to conduct a policy without regard to the West and to defend their interests in the UN more effectively.

The fence named Kolomoisky
Representatives of the Ukrainian authorities continue to practice ideas that can "turn this world around." This time a monumental idea was born in the depths of the administration of the Dnipropetrovsk region. It is proposed on the border of Ukraine and Russia to put a giant fence with a total length of about 2000 km. According to Interfax, the author of the idea was Gennady Korban, who sent the corresponding project to the presidential administration. Subsequently, it turned out that Korban decided not to fence himself off from Russia with a fence (wall), but with the help of his boss, Igor Kolomoisky.
To enclose Ukraine with a fence is an enchanting idea. Behind a fence it is more convenient to dirty. But why trifle? Kolomoisky could go even further and offer to cover Ukraine with a tinted cap so that the country would finally become warm, dry and comfortable. And then Ukraine would turn into a unique country, on which the world would look through glass - a sort of ukroarium.
But seriously, God willing, the day will come when a fence with barbed wire and current flowing over it will enclose Mr. Kolomoisky himself.

Iraq is on fire
Iraqi militants continue to advance towards the Kirkuk oil-bearing region. Extremists captured several areas of Salah al-Din province. Now, the fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are heading north to the border with the province of Tamim and towards the oil-rich province of Kirkuk. Earlier, the militants managed to seize the city of Al-Huweija and the province of Ninawa with the administrative center in Mosul.
On the eve of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said that a general mobilization is needed to return citizens to normal.
On Tuesday, UN official representative Stefan Douzarrik said that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is concerned about the destabilization of the situation in northern Iraq. “The Secretary-General calls on all political leaders to demonstrate unity in the face of the threats facing Iraq, which can only be solved on the basis of the constitution and within the framework of a democratic political process,” he said.
To this must add the following information. The Iraqi government has repeatedly asked the United States to launch air strikes against militant camps, beginning last year. In March and May 2014, Iraq also asked for help, in May, according to the New York Times, twice. However, the answer was a permanent refusal.
Well, the “Sunni strategy” of Barack Obama is clearly visible. Indirect evidence: the administration in Washington is now criticizing al-Maliki for not including representatives of the Iraqi Sunni minority in the government. The second proof is Syria, where the “democratic” Sunnis, encouraged by Washington and the Saudis, attack the Shiites.
“Sunni East” - isn't that what the name is Obama’s secret Islamist plan?
Today it is obvious that Iraq is waiting for a split, and in this split will be the merit of the United States. Wherever the Americans have been to democratization, the states are falling apart. This is an axiom.

Victims of "friendly fire"
American soldiers who are in no hurry to leave Afghanistan continue to suffer losses. This time, Washington announced the five dead soldiers of the US Army in the Afghan province of Zabul (Zabul). The soldiers were the victims of a raid of their own aviation, which struck in the framework of "air support". The ground units themselves requested this support.
The BBC, referring to a source in the Pentagon, reports that a bloody incident occurred in the Arghandab area, where battles between the Taliban and the ISAF contingent are regularly breaking out. Among the victims of the air attack, during which the pilots made a fatal mistake, also two citizens of Afghanistan - a translator and a soldier of the Afghan army, whose units were involved in the "cleansing" of the Taliban base.
These are not the first victims of the so-called "friendly fire" on the territory of Afghanistan. The total number of ISAF soldiers killed as a result of the air raids, artillery and mortar attacks organized by the same ISAF is still not precisely known, but this is at least several hundred people. This also includes those who later died in hospitals from injuries received during the “friendly fire”. “Friendly fire” was often opened by the positions of each other by representatives of the Afghan army and the NATO contingent.
In this regard, the old topic emerges withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. At the end of May, Barack Obama talked on the phone with the rulers of Germany, Britain, Italy, and then called Mr. Karzai. Recall that Karzai recently refused to meet with Obama, who visited Afghanistan.
It became known that only by the end of 2016, the US military will leave Afghanistan. In 2015, about ten thousand or slightly less military will operate in different parts of Afghanistan.
It seems that even “friendly fire” does not stop these poppy planters ...

McCain gave the nod to freeze "South"
This week Bulgaria has suspended work on the "South Stream". US Senator John McCain suddenly appeared near the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
As transmitted ITAR-TASS, Bulgaria suspends work on the South Stream project until the comments of the European Commission are eliminated. This was announced by Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski at a briefing.
What a briefing? Press event following a meeting with ... US senators.
“At present, a request has been received from the European Commission, after which we suspended the current work, I ordered it. After additional consultations with Brussels, the course of further work will be determined, ”the Itar-Tass correspondent quoted the prime minister as saying.
Speaking at the briefing was also Senator John McCain. In his opinion, the project should have less Russian participation. “The problems of South Stream,” he said, “Bulgaria should solve in cooperation with its European counterparts.”
“There were some doubts about the South Stream project, and, indeed, we would like Russia to participate as little as possible in the project. But we, the prime minister and the government, agreed that the main thing for Bulgaria is to become energy independent from any country. So, it needs to cooperate with independent organizations, that is, those that do not depend on Russia, ”McCain quotes. "Vesti".
Surprisingly, it seems that the US Senator McCain is in the pocket of the European Commission. What to say about Bulgaria, for which Serbia has already followed in good faith ...
Despite the EU's Third Energy Package, the South project and its route are quite comfortable with Europe. He is satisfied with those companies that participate in it. If the project did not suit Europe, the spears around the "energy package" and Ukraine as a gas transit country would not break. The project would simply be given a turn.
But control of the market at the supranational level is a blue dream of the rulers of Europe. They Bilderberg club envy. (However, this is one office, only with variable composition.)
And here there is a reason to argue with Moscow - the “annexation” of Crimea by Russia. And the opposition to Kiev of the LC and the DPR, allegedly fueled by the Kremlin.
At the same time, Europeans do not consider Ukraine to be a reliable transit country. Austria has therefore changed its opinion regarding the South Stream because it did not like the coup in Ukraine. On the pages of Western newspapers there is such a mild economic definition of Ukraine - “unreliable gas transit”.
We will follow the development of events.

Less delirium from the sick McCain and can not be expected. The second sentence is absolutely contrary to the first. The only way to be independent from Russia is to be dependent on the United States. And in order not to be dependent on any country, you need to have your gas.

All rallied in recent days around Ukraine. The OSCE, Obama, the Pentagon, the State Department, and even Saakashvili are all ready to stand up for the democratic gains of Poroshenko. Military advisers from America are about to arrive in Kiev, Saakashvili will send a team of reformers, and the OSCE will establish "mutual understanding" between Ukraine and Russia.
June 9 on the site Rosbalt it was reported that the participants in the tripartite contact group (OSCE, Ukraine and Russia) came to an understanding on the key stages of the implementation of the “Poroshenko’s plan”. It's about ... uh ... about a peaceful settlement.
Recall that the newly-minted president had previously advocated the continuation of the antiterrorist operation, and even its early completion. After the election, the billionaire said that the military operation will take place as soon as possible: “The anti-terrorist operation cannot and will not last two or three months. It should and will last hours. ”
Poroshenko must have known what he was talking about, because American advisers are about to arrive at the independent one - those who give recommendations not to some lawyers, economists and non-governmental organizations to protect "rights", but to the real military.
Pentagon Spokeswoman Eileen Linez reportedthat a group of military advisers will go to Ukraine. Its task is to evaluate and develop programs of cooperation between the armed forces of the two states.
Recently, the eminent gosdepovskaya lady Victoria Nuland intensified in Ukraine. About her events on the separatist kindly reported "Voice of America".
The US Deputy Secretary of State spoke with the leaders of the Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk regions and said that Washington confirms "support and efforts for positive changes in Ukraine aimed at further stabilization, especially in the east of the country."
This, whatever one may say, means the complete approval of the course of the candy king for the anti-terrorist operation in the DPR and the LPR to its victorious end. In Poroshenko’s language, this means “cease fire”.
Wishing to support a fellow democrat in a difficult moment, a well-known character in a red tie appeared on the international arena. Mikheil Saakashvili, now registered in Massachusetts, advised Poroshenko not to succumb to Putin, to defeat the terrorists, and at the same time sent a team of "Georgian reformers" to Kyiv.
A tireless resident of the United States of America, who previously worked as the President of Georgia, gave an exclusive interview to the Ukrainian channel "TSN".
Wishing to help the Ukrainian president in difficult days, Saakashvili said that P. Poroshenko is a wartime president and he needs support.
And he, Mikheil Saakashvili, will support him.
Soon a team of Georgian reformers will arrive in Ukraine, including people who staged the "Georgian economic miracle" several years ago.
In addition, Mikhail Nikolozovich reminded that the advanced Georgian thought is already leading Ukraine into a brighter future. Today, Georgian advisers work hard in the ministries of justice, economy, in the mayor's office of Kyiv and other paid places. “I can't work, but there are a lot of Georgians who work,” Saakashvili said.
As for Russia, Saakashvili advised Mr. Poroshenko to keep an eye out for it. We must not stop the anti-terrorist operation, we must not succumb to the provocations of the Kremlin.
Such political wisdom was taught to Mikhail Nikolozovich by his own sad confrontational experience.
So, help comes to Poroshenko from all sides. The whole "developed" world cares about oppressed Ukraine. All rallied in the fight against Putin - from the State Department to Saakashvili.
The OSCE, on which other politicians and analysts pinned their hopes, also, as we see, supports the “Poroshenko’s plan”. Nardep from the party "UDAR" Sergei Kunitsyn, who was during the presidential race Poroshenko's confidant, on the TV channel "Ukraine" is no wonder сказал: "Crimea must be returned through international pressure from the UN and the OSCE."

Illegitimate informant
Sensational information leaks shared with their readers site «WikiLeaks». We are talking about the past "achievements" of a person who calls himself the legitimate Ukrainian president. The material describes the events of the year 2006, when Poroshenko played the role of people's deputy.
According to the "WikiLeaks", Petro Poroshenko at the same time acted as the main informant of the then American Ambassador John Herbst. We are talking about consultations on the formation of a new cabinet in Ukraine. Herbst and his leadership at the State Department of the United States rechecked information provided by him as an informant, since they did not have complete confidence in Mr. Deputy. Why so?
It turns out that P. Poroshenko was suspected of involvement in the preparation of the political elimination of Oleksandr Turchynov while simultaneously weakening the position of Yulia Tymoshenko. Turchinov at that time, we recall, was one of the deputies of the "gas princess".
Thus, the history of P. Poroshenko’s political career is simple: from an illegitimate (that is, one who is not trusted) informant - to legitimate presidents.
But here's a little nuance: Poroshenko considers himself to be the legitimate president of Ukraine.
And another nuance: even if the great B.H. Obama declares someone a legitimate president, it does not declare it as such. For legitimate, by definition, you can be only in the case, if the people trust you.

Not the proportions
Human Rights Watch criticized Kiev’s actions in the Southeast. The use of heavy armored vehicles, aircraft and artillery systems by the Ukrainian authorities in the Donbas has raised serious concerns among representatives of the organization.
The organization gathered evidence that Ukrainian security forces are launching rocket attacks on residential areas and industrial facilities, conducting mortar shelling of cities, attacking settlements from the air.
One of the proofs is the destruction by the Ukrainian security forces of the workshops of the Energomashspetsstal plant and the heavy machine-tool plant in Kramatorsk.
Representatives of Human Rights Watch say that when using military force against insurgents, the Ukrainian army should not forget about the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to life, liberty, security, and the inviolability of the home. HRW claims a disproportionate use of force in the south-east of the country.
That's the news. It turns out that Poroshenko is disproportionate. I forgot about the European Convention on Human Rights. I forgot about the right to life. I forgot about freedom, security, inviolability of the home.
What do you think about this, voter Obama, voter Kerry and voter Hagel? Three peacemakers, as in the selection. One when he was a presidential candidate in 2008, he objected to Republican politicians about the war in Iraq, two others fought in Vietnam and then severely criticized this war. Kerry even dared to condemn the American methods of warfare.
However, Obama and Hagel ruined so many innocent people, including children, with blows from a UAV, that the “right to life” of the population of some Ukraine, which is supposed to be turned into a dump of nuclear waste and shale desert, is hardly alarming.

Neutral fraternal people
The historical comparison of Ukraine and Finland began, perhaps, with the words of Russian Foreign Minister comrade Lavrov, who in Turku on June 9 said that Russia and Finland have a common position on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. According to the minister, Ukraine could not become a factor separating Europe and Russia, but, on the contrary, a bridge - like Finland during the Cold War.
According to Lavrov, Moscow, Kiev and Brussels could agree on the harmonization of Ukraine’s participation in the CIS free trade zone, given its European integration plans.
“We, the Russian Federation, have repeatedly suggested to our European colleagues, Ukrainian colleagues to come together and see how to do so so as not to force Ukraine to tear left and right,” said Lavrov. The Minister considers such a way “optimal”.
However, the matter is hampered by the so-called security issue. After all, the Ukrainian crisis has affected the possibility of NATO expansion under the pretext of the threat of Russian aggression.
“If we talk about the“ Finlandization ”of Ukraine, it is necessary to understand: Finland could exist as a bridge between the West and the East only in a world where two major geopolitical systems, Soviet and western, confronted, said "Free Press" Bogdan Bezpalko, Deputy Director of the Center for Ukrainian Studies and Belarussian Studies at Moscow State University. - Now there is no such confrontation, and it is much more difficult for Ukraine to balance between the West and the East. In addition, - he said, - the USSR during the Cold War gave Finland a very definite role - the trade gates to the West. Ukraine, on the other hand, rather acts today as a tool for blocking Russia. ”
The expert also noted that Ukraine is becoming a breeding ground for “ideological contagion,” that is, nationalism, and this is dangerous for the Russian Federation.
As to the “Finlandization” mentioned, such is possible only in one case: with the collapse of Greater Ukraine, created by the Bolsheviks within the borders of the Ukrainian SSR. Her debris and can go the way of Finland, the expert said. A military defeat, economic hardships can force these parts of the former Ukraine to make concessions and play the role of “trade gateways” between the EU and the Russian Federation.
It should also be recalled that the new president of Ukraine and his government, consisting mainly of maydanschikov, will strive to the West with all their might. Immediately after the inauguration Poroshenko prepared a pen, which will sign an association agreement with the EU.
Moreover, the variant of Finlandization looks strange where there is no socialist state and no ideological confrontation between the two systems that would be connected by a “neutral” bridge. In Russia, capitalism, and Putin and Medvedev always call the countries of the West "partners." What kind of bridge is it?
The “bridge”, I suppose, is Comrade Lavrov’s hopes that there will not be a “military defeat” and “debris” and that life in Ukraine will get better. Russia does not need war, and Russia does not intend to include Russia in its territory. About this same Lavrov said on TV two months ago.

Hello, limited? ..
At the end of May, Sergey Naryshkin, Chairman of the Russian State Duma, sent a letter to the PACE Speaker, in which he proposed to restore the Russian delegation of rights and find a solution to the Ukrainian crisis. A few days later, the PACE chairwoman personally called Naryshkina, inviting the Russian delegation to participate in a new session. Finally, Ann Brasseur, June 5, by telephone, addressed Naryshkin with a request for the participation of the Russian delegation in the June session of the organization.
The report states: “Anne Brasseur requested the participation of the parliamentary delegation of the Russian Federation in the June session of the PACE, albeit with limited powers. The Chairman of the State Duma reiterated his position (expressed earlier in an open letter to Mrs. Brasseur from 27 in May 2014) on the need to restore the full authority of the Russian delegation to PACE as an obligatory condition for the resumption of full-fledged work in this organization of Russian parliamentarians. ”
The report further states: “Sergey Naryshkin informed Anne Brasseur that he intends to take part in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly events on June 9 in Baku. According to the speaker of the State Duma, on this platform they could have a meeting with the PACE chairman, including on the possible creation of an inter-parliamentary contact group on the situation in Ukraine. ”
6 June RIA News" led the statement of the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Pushkov. “If the position of PACE remains unchanged, then it cannot be excluded that the Russian delegation will not take part not only in the June, but also in the October session of the PACE, since the sanctions are imposed before the end of 2014 of the year,” comrade Pushkov told journalists.
“The return of the Russian delegation of its full powers is possible only in January 2015, when the powers of all national delegations will be re-approved,” he noted.
Why is "limited" Russia invited to the session?
“Money, I think, has nothing to do with it,” said "Free Press" Member of the PACE Russian delegation, State Duma deputy Vasily Likhachev. - Because the fee for membership in the organization for the 2014 year, the Ministry of Finance of Russia listed back in December last year. These funds - roughly 20 million euros - are already unrecoverable. Another thing is that somewhere at the beginning of next year we can raise the question of changing the financing formula.
As for the proposal of Brasseur, the deputy continued, then, of course, this is a signal. And the signal is positive. Her telephone conversation with Sergey Naryshkin, in which she expressed a wish to see the Russian delegation when discussing certain issues at the June session, shows, it seems to me, that she is interested in changing the course. But in order to restore absolutely all the powers of the Russian delegation, the decision of the plenary session is necessary. And even the Brasseur itself cannot reverse the established order. ”
The deputy thinks that lately “the trend of rapprochement is beginning to manifest itself” and even a “certain reappraisal” is taking place, hence the call with the invitation.
However, Russia is unlikely to accept the proposal: “On this account, our position has already been voiced in a public field. The Russian delegation will return only when all powers arising from full, full membership will be restored. ”
Well, wait and see.
One thing is clear: to return in a "limited" way means to lose face. Let even by invitation.

Russians and phosphorus
World celebrity Jen Psaki, representing the US Department of State, has once again proved itself. This time, she said at a briefing that for the first time she hears about the use of incendiary bombs near Slavyansk.
Journalist: What is the opinion of the State Department on the use of phosphorus bombs in the vicinity of Slavyansk?
Psaki: By whom? Russians?
Journalist: Ukrainian army.
Psaki: No, I have not heard anything about it.
If we proceed from the answers of Psaki to the questions of a journalist, then we can conclude that the State Department spokesman “does not hear anything” when it comes to the use of force by Ukrainian punishers. At the same time, psaki also “hopes” that the Russians still fired.
The journalist probably noticed a light in Psaki's eyes when she asked: “By whom? Russian? "
An amazing thing: a State Department representative asked a journalist. Soon in the US, the State Department and the press will change places. More precisely, ideological roles. Ideas written to the State Department will supply the media. It will be like this:
Journalist: I propose that the State Department give a briefing on the use of phosphorus bombs in the vicinity of Slavyansk.
Psaki: A good idea. We buy. Write a cheat sheet: Russians used forbidden phosphorus bombs in the vicinity of Slavyansk. And add something about the protests of human rights organizations. Contact HRW and others.
Journalist: Yes, ma'am. Thank you for the exclusive, ma'am.
Psaki: It's my pleasure. Following!
