Nou, dat is alarmerend.


Blijkt nu toch maar weer dat ze het verkeerde land klein hebben gehouden in het verleden.
 
'verborgen'

Alsof je even een paar tanks gaat verbergen.
 
Nou ja, het is natuurlijk door rebellen gecontroleerd gebied en zonder die drone hadden ze die tanks zeer waarschijnlijk niet gevonden. Dus ik zekere zin is het wel verbergen.

Is ook minder ver van het front dan is afgesproken he.
 
Wat als Poetin stiekem, althans volgens sommigen, niet alleen een corridor naar de Krim wil, maar ook één richting Transnistrië?

De grootste militaire parade in Moskou ooit ter ere van de overwinning op Nazi-Duitsland in de Tweede Wereldoorlog begon zaterdag met een minuut stilte.





Daarna ging de schier eindeloze parade op het Rode Plein in de Russische hoofdstad van start. Strak in het gelid marcheerden rijen militairen over het plein.

Het is zeventig jaar geleden dat de nazi's werden verslagen en dat wordt in Rusland groots gevierd. Aan de parade deden circa 16.000 militairen mee en er werden nieuwe tanks en panservoertuigen getoond.

President Vladimir Poetin nam de parade af en werd daarbij terzijde gestaan door veteranen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De herdenking van de overwinning is een van de belangrijkste feestdagen in Rusland en gaat altijd gepaard met veel militair vertoon

Most Russians want Ukraine independent but friendly
More than half of Russians have told researchers they would prefer Ukraine as an independent nation maintaining good neighborly relations with the Russian Federation. An almost equal share of respondents say they expect no change to the current situation.

The Levada independent Russian public opinion research center released the results of its November poll, according to which 63 percent of respondents think that Ukraine must remain an independent nation and that relations with it must be friendly and mutually beneficial. This is slightly up from 55 percent a year ago.

Some 27 percent – the same share as in 2015 – said that it would be better in Russia established economic and political control over Ukraine and 10 percent refused to give a direct answer.

Sixty-four percent of the Russian public hold that reunification with the Crimean Republic has done more good than bad for their country, while 19 percent hold the opposite opinion. Eighteen percent of respondents could not provide an unambiguous answer to the question.

At the same time, Russians’ interest in the situation in Ukraine is gradually decreasing. The current share of respondents who told Levada that they were following Ukrainian events was 73 percent, compared to 78 percent in October and 81 percent in January this year. Also, 66 percent of Russians currently consider the situation in Ukraine as ‘tense’ and 16 percent as ‘critical’. Nine percent of respondents maintain that the situation in Ukraine is calm and normal.

In June this year, Levada conducted a similar poll in which 48 percent of Russians said they considered Ukraine as one of the most hostile nations to their motherland. The United States topped the list with 72 percent and Turkey was third with 29 percent, but researchers allowed every respondent to name several countries in response to this question. When asked about their own negative sentiments towards foreign nations, 70 percent said that they disliked the US the most, 62 percent named the European Union and 63 percent confessed to negative feelings toward Ukraine.

In early 2015, 26 percent of Russians estimated the probability of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine as very high. Thirty-three percent of respondents said the probability of such developments was very low, while 21 percent said that such scenario was completely impossible.

En de EU er maar geld in pompen... :hahaha:

"Recently Mikheil Saakashvili, the former Georgian president, resigned as governor of the Odessa region, as did the head of the national police, Khatia Dekonoidze. They complained that their reform efforts were being blocked."

Zelfs deze knakker uit Georgië kon het niet meer aan. :D

More Ukrainian Soldiers Reported Killed Ahead Of Poroshenko Berlin Visit

Ukraine says five of its soldiers have been killed and nine wounded in some of the worst fighting in eastern Ukraine in weeks.

An offensive by Russia-backed separatists resulted in intensified fighting on January 29 in areas outside the separatist-held stronghold of Donetsk, west of Luhansk, and north of the government-controlled port city of Mariupol, the military said.

It also accused the separatists of using Grad (Hail) multiple grenade launchers.

The toll included four servicemen whose deaths were reported on January 29, when Ukraine's army said it had repelled an attack by separatists near the town of Avdiyivka, north of Donetsk.

The separatists reported heavy shelling of their positions in the area, with one of their fighters and one civilian killed.

The conflict between Ukrainian government forces and the separatists has killed more than 9,750 civilians and combatants in eastern Ukraine since April 2014.

The latest clashes came ahead of talks between President Petro Poroshenko and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on January 30.

The two are due to discuss the stalled peace process in Ukraine and Kyiv's efforts to move closer to the EU.
