Ukraine news - 01/14/2015

Breaking news: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gas through the Ukraine


First, I was a little skeptical. Then more and more sources confirmed what seems to be a fact: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gaz through the Ukraine and all Russian gaz will now flow through Turkey

(see Bloomberg and LifeNews). 

 Not only that, but the Russians have told the Europeans that if they want Russian gas, they will have to build their own pipeline to Turkey at pay for it all.

Putin and Miller

The Europeans appear to be shell-shocked. Maros Sefcovic, the European Commission’s vice president for energy union, declared that this decision made "no economic sense".  As if the nonstop economic and political warfare waged by the EU against Russia did make any sense!

I can image the faces of the Eurobureaucrats when Alexei Miller, the head of Gazprom, told them that
"now it is up to them to put in place the necessary infrastructure starting from the Turkish-Greek border” while the Russian Energy Minister Novak added that "the decision has been made, we are diversifying and eliminating the risks of unreliable countries that caused problems in past years, including for European consumers.

In other words, the EU just lost it all and so did the Ukraine.  Keep in mind that the EU has no other options then to purchase the Russian gas from Turkey while Russia can simply do without gaz exports to Europe because China has already signed a contract covering the exact same amount of gaz and possibly much more.

Let's see now how the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible European elites will cope with an agriculture choking in useless surplus stocks, a society waging ideological war on 1.6 billion Muslims, and now with no energy.

The always irreplaceable Poles have come up with a brilliant strategy it appears: they will 
"not really" invite Putin to the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz even though Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet military.  I am sure that Putin will be both impressed and heartbroken.

Nowadays every time I hear any news out of Europe, I always think that Victoria Nuland's famous "f**k the EU" and how Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, called his colleagues the "
great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies". I share exactly the same sentiments: let them "Charlies",  now freeze in their own pathetic mediocrity.

VIENNA, January 15. /TASS/. The nature of damage to a bus in the Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, near the city of Volnovakha proves the use of rockets, the OSCE Special Monitoring Commission to Ukraine said in a report of January 14, 2015.

Twelve people were killed and 17 wounded when a rocket exploded close to a bus near the city of Volnovakha on January 13, the report said.

At approximately 14:35hrs on 13 January the regional traffic police confirmed to the SMM that a Grad rocket struck close to a civilian bus when it stopped at a Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoint approximately 2km north of Volnovakha (35km south-west of Donetsk),” it said.

The SMM arrived at the location of the incident at 17:45hrs and witnessed the removal of two of the dead passengers from the bus. The bus had shrapnel damage consistent with a nearby rocket impact, estimated by the SMM to be 12-15 meters from the side of the bus. The SMM visited the Volnovakha hospital where the staff confirmed that ten persons on the bus were killed instantly, while two died later in the hospital. Another 17 passengers were injured,” the report said.

Following a proposal from the SMM, the Ukrainian Major-General and Head of the Ukrainian side to the JCCC and the Russian Federation Major-General, representative of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to the Joint Centre for Control and Co-ordination (JCCC) and the ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’ (DPR) leadership have agreed to conduct a joint investigation led by the JCCC,” it said.

In parallel, the SMM will continue its observations and establish its own findings regarding the incident,” the report said.


Ukrainian troops pull out of Donetsk airport, some units still staying in vicinity


We’re doing everything in our power to preserve the lives of the Ukrainian military people since we don’t want any victims among them,” Pushilin said



DONETSK, January 15. /TASS/. Ukrainian Armed Forces have pulled their units out of the airport of the much-troubled eastern city of Donetsk although separate army groupings remain deployed in its vicinity, the press service of the Defence Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said on Wednesday.

We’re granting an opportunity to soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to leave the airport and the areas adjoining it in order to prevent more unnecessary victims in their ranks,” a spokesman for the ministry said. “No one is going to shoot them in the back.”

Denis Pushilin, the Donetsk Republic’s plenipotentiary representative in the Contact Group for settling the armed civil conflict in eastern Ukraine, said the self-defence forces had opened up a corridor to the Ukrainian military’s withdrawal from the Donetsk airport.

This doesn’t mean we’re forcing the troops out of the airport in any way because that’s a gesture of good will on our part,” he said.


We’re doing everything in our power to preserve the lives of the Ukrainian military people since we don’t want any victims among them,” Pushilin said.


The Empire on the offensive in France and Russia




The latest issues of Charlie Hebdo has been printed at 3 million copies (some sources said 5 million). They go on ebay for up to 300 EurosRT reports that "Sunni Islam's most renowned center of learning, Al-Azhar in Cairo, said that the cartoons "stir up hatred" and "do not serve the peaceful coexistence between peoples." Tabnak, a conservative online outlet in Iran, wrote that "Charlie Hebdo has again insulted the Prophet."

French comedian 
Dieudonne was arrested for "apology for terrorism".  He had tweeted “Tonight, as far as I’m concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly” (combining Charlie and the last name of one of the terrorists involved in the attacks. Millions will not take to the streets to protect his freedom of speech.  They are Charlie, but they are not Dieudonne.

A source of mine with links to French police services has told me that the French Ministry of Internal Affairs had created a hotline to report terrorist.  About 50% of the messages they got were "Allahu Akbar!".

Another of my sources in Europe tells me that the European Commission will meet to decide if the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics will be declared "terrorist organizations" following the bombing of a bus filled with civilians in the Ukraine.  Apparently, the bus exploded out of reach of Novorussian artillery and probably on a landmine.

One more thing. Dmitri Orlov has written an absolutely fantastic piece entitled "
Peculiarities of Russian National Character" every word of which I fully subscribe to and which I highly recommend to everybody.
