According to the source, ex-president Leonid Kuchma will continue to participate in the negotiations.
A reminder that Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) Andriy Parubiy called Medvedchuk a criminal who in recent years has helped terrorists. Putin's godfather, in turn, demanded a meeting of the NSDC and that Parubiy refute his remarks.

quote:Kiev bereidt offensief Donetsk voor
dinsdag 8 jul 2014, 17:02 (Update: 08-07-14, 17:19)
In de aanloop naar een offensief tegen de rebellen in Donetsk heeft de Oekraense president Porosjenko een nieuwe stafchef benoemd die de militaire operatie in Oost-Oekrane moet cordineren.
Onlangs verving Porosjenko al de minister van Defensie door een daadkrachtige generaal die voor succes moet zorgen in de strijd tegen de opstandelingen.
Afgelopen weekend boekte het Oekraense regeringsleger een grote overwinning met de herovering van het rebellenbolwerk Slavjansk.
Campagne
Het leger bereidt zich nu voor op de herovering van de twee resterende grote steden waar de pro-Russische separatisten het al maandenlang voor het zeggen hebben, Donetsk en Loegansk.
Zeker voor de inname van Donetsk, een stad met 900.000 inwoners, zal een lange militaire campagne nodig zijn, denkt correspondent David Jan Godfroid. Waarschijnlijk zullen Oekraense militairen de stad omsingelen om de rebellen van de buitenwereld af te sluiten.
De burgemeester van Donetsk heeft president Porosjenko gevraagd geen luchtaanvallen of zwaar artillerievuur te gebruiken bij het offensief. "Het is onmogelijk om alle 900.000 inwoners te evacueren, waar moeten ze heen?", schrijft de burgemeester op zijn website.
Verdediging
Ook de honderden opstandelingen die Slavjansk zijn ontvlucht, houden zich op in Donetsk. De rebellen in die stad hebben ook een nieuwe bevelhebber aangewezen die de verdediging van Donetsk moet leiden.
Twee bruggen buiten de stad hebben ze al opgeblazen om de opmars van het leger te bemoeilijken.
De opstandelingen verwijten de Russische president Poetin dat hij hen niet te hulp schiet. Moskou staat onder zware druk vanuit het Westen om zich niet langer actief te bemoeien met de crisis in Oekrane, op straffe van verdergaande sancties.
Wapenstilstand
President Porosjenko heeft een nieuw eenzijdig bestand in Oost-Oekrane uitgesloten. Maar hij zou wel met een internationale contactgroep en de separatisten willen overleggen over een staakt-het-vuren. Dat zou moeten plaatsvinden in een stadje nabij Donetsk.
Say what?
'Lugansk People's Republic' Leader Claims Control of Izvarino Border Crossing
Valery Bolotov, the leader of the self-declared Lugansk People's Republic (LNR), has stated at a press conference today that his separatist forces are in control of the Izvarino area and the section of the Russo-Ukrainian border it lies on.
He claimed that LNR forces had succeeded in pushing back Ukrainian forces from Lugansk, noting that "some sections of the front line have moved in our favour."
He also claimed that the LNR militia had acquired significant military hardware, though did not specify where from (though their claim to control a border crossing certainly suggests Russian imports).
Bolotov said that his forces now had "armoured vehicles and artillery systems" including Grad rocket launchers, howitzers, anti-aircraft systems and mortars.
He also claimed that while the LNR was prepared for peace talks, they would only do so under their own terms, accusing the Ukrainian government of using the ceasefire to concentrate their forces.

Commenting on President Poroshenko's discussions with the Italian foreign minister, Federica Mogherini, the Ukrainian president's press service said:
"The president praised the efforts of Germany and France, which allowed the formation of the so-called "Normandy four" [Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France] with the participation of Russia. Still, according to him, the international influence could be much stronger if Italy and Britain joined France and Germany."
quote:Two More Lenin Statues Fall Overnight
Two statues of Lenin were toppled last night in Ukraine.
One of the statues was torn down in the village of Chervona Sloboda in the northern Sumy region.
Interfax-Ukraine reports that the Ukrainian Communist Party has confirmed the removal of the statue and is pursuing criminal charges:
"Law enforcers have established that vandals damaged the monument by having it pulled down from the pedestal by a tractor and a tow," the statement said.
Another statue was torn down in the town of Bilozerka in the southern Kherson region. Tired of waiting for the authorities' decision, Ukrainian activists came to Bilozerka and dismantled the monument to Lenin by themselves. The police did not interfere with the will of the people.

quote:Russische economie op rand van recessie
Internationale sancties die gelinkt zijn aan de annexatie (die door de meeste VN-lidstaten veroordeeld werd) en aan de steun die Rusland geeft aan de rebellen in het oosten van Oekrane, eisen ook hun tol van de Russische economie. Die staat op de rand van een recessie.

Ukraine threatens rebels with 'nasty surprise' in new push
Security officials in Kiev gave away nothing about their military plans. But a spokesman for the "anti-terrorist operation", Andriy Lysenko, said:
Since hundreds of rebels flooded into the city at the weekend, armed men have been out on the streets, setting up new barricades and checkpoints. Borodai brushed off suggestions that Slaviansk had been a defeat, portraying it as a successful tactical withdrawal, though Kiev says the rebels sustained heavy losses.
Borodai, who also scoffed at talk of Kiev having resources to blockade Donetsk and Luhansk, said Igor Strelkov, a Muscovite who commanded forces in Slaviansk, would take over as commander-in-chief for defending Donetsk.
But another rebel commander, Aleksander Khodakovsky of the so-called Vostok battalion - or eastern battalion - whose fighters also occupy positions in Donetsk was critical of the decision to pull out of Slaviansk.
The Ukrainian army's victory in Slaviansk has pushed peace talks involving separatist leaders off the agenda. But Donetsk's mayor, Lukyanchenko, said Poroshenko on Monday had proposed that a further round of talks, involving the so-called "contact group" and the separatists, should be held in the town of Svyatohirsk, north-east of Donetsk, which is the site of a 15th century Orthodox monastery.
Security officials in Kiev gave away nothing about their military plans. But a spokesman for the "anti-terrorist operation", Andriy Lysenko, said:
At a meeting on Monday with Poroshenko, Donetsk mayor Olexander Lukyanchenko urged him not use air strikes or heavy artillery to crush the rebels.quote:There is a plan ... under which we will be able to liberate these towns (Donetsk and Luhansk). We are not publicising details of this plan. It should be a nasty surprise for the terrorists.
Ukraine's richest man, coal-and-steel magnate Rinat Akhmetov, made a similar appeal on Monday.quote:We have a population in the town now of more than 900,000 people minus those who have left. It's impossible to evacuate them and there is nowhere for them to go. Their security must be guaranteed via negotiations at all levels.

Though Borodai said he had been in "consultations" in Russia, many rebels now reproach President Vladimir Putin's administration in Moscow, which is under threat from further Western sanctions, for giving them too little help.quote:Frankly speaking, we didn't believe them when we got phone calls saying they were leaving Slaviansk. I hope Strelkov did not come here in order to go away. There will not be one single commander here ... because if Mr Strelkov suddenly chooses to leave Donetsk, with the aim of preserving the lives of the people of Donetsk and the lives of the volunteers, then we will not follow his order.

LUGANSK, July 07. /ITAR-TASS/.
People’s militia in the eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk have managed to seize one of the three Grad multiple rocket launcher systems used to pound the city on Monday, eyewitnesses say, noting that these are early reports.
The launcher “only slightly damaged”, was moved to a city neighbourhood and “militiamen are painting over Ukrainian military marking” an Itar-Tass source has said. There have been no comments from the people’s militia headquarters as of yet.

Donetsk people’s republic creating contract army, preparing for defense
DONETSK, July 09. /ITAR-TASS/.
Ukrainian army is destroying the infrastructure of cities in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic deliberately in an offensive operation, leaving local residents jobless, Defense Minister of the DPR Igor Strelkov said in an interview with the First Republican TV Channel on Wednesday.
Strelkov believed that Donetsk was not prepared for defense yet.
He is convinced that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies had chosen the tactics of destroying the infrastructure and industrial enterprises.quote:No defensive measures are taken yet. The city is currently prepared for defense at the level Sloviansk was ready two months ago. So, defensive reinforcements can stop armored personnel carriers and some kind of national guards and interior troops. The city can defend itself from armored columns of the enemy with major difficulties. But we are taking urgent measures so that Donetsk will be ready for battle.
.quote:Sloviansk and Kramatorsk suffered an attack on militia’s positions and even city quarters, plants and industrial enterprises. There were neither roadblocks nor even checkpoints, however, artillery guns were pounding them constantly and massively.
They wanted to destroy the infrastructure as strongly as possible. Leave people jobless, without residence and all other belongings. To resolve the task of forcing people to flee, leave them without means of living even after combat actions are over. I believe that incumbent Ukrainian top state and military officials will not stop to do the same with Donetsk
He also noted the need to take mobilization measures and arm militias.
quote:We cannot fight at half-strength. We cannot hope that somehow with small forces and with small means someone will be able to protect the republic. Serious mobilization measures are needed.
Unfortunately, resources for this, primarily weapons and ammunition were not prepared. There are none of them now. However, we would be able to arm, outfit and train several thousand volunteers, just slightly in the least. For a brief period of time. I believe that 80 thousand people would be enough to stop Ukrainian army.
Everything is still bad in our rear. We will be fighting and will stop them, but it will be very difficult to win in defense without more active participation of local residents of Donbass [the main Ukrainian coalmining region].
Starting from this month militias will be paid quite serious sums in local conditions from five to eight thousand hryvnias (from 15 to 23.5 thousand rubles) and we plan to introduce this pay from July. May be this will help people who hesitate now, cannot decide to join the ranks of militia. So, we will be creating a contract army.

De vrouw was betrokken bij grondgevechten tegen pro-Russische separatisten bij de Oekraense stad Loehansk.
De Oekraense president Petro Porosjenko laat onderzoeken hoe de vrouw in Rusland is terechtgekomen. Porosjenko denkt dat ze is ontvoerd.
Het Russische persbureau ITAR-TASS meldt dat de vrouw als ''vluchteling'' de grens over is gekomen. Maar volgens het Oekraense ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken is ze waarschijnlijk gevangengenomen door de separatisten en de grens over gesmokkeld.

RIA Novosti, a Russian state-operated news agency, has posted a story that says separatist leaders are preparing to evacuate parts of Donetsk in advance of the predicted Ukrainian military assault on the city (translated by The Interpreter):
DPR authorities were preparing a partial evacuation of "some districts of Donetsk," DPR Prime Mnister Aleksandr Boroday said at a briefing.
"We were forced to do this. Russia must prepare for several hundred thousand refugees. They practically all want to go to the Russian Federation," said Boroday.
According to him, the evacuation will be voluntary and it can begin in a few days.
Earlier Kiev authorities said that they would encircle Donetsk.

VORONEZH, July 10. /ITAR-TASS/.
Ukrainian citizen Nadezhda Savchenko charged with complicity in murder of reporters of the Russian state television and radio broadcasting company (VGTRK) will remain under arrest until August 30.
The Voronezh regional court upheld the ruling to hold her in custody, rejecting her defense's appeal, according to the court's spokesperson Lada Petina.
The hearing at the regional court was held on Thursday behind closed doors with no journalists allowed. Savchenko was held in an investigation detention center in the city of Voronezh, with video communication established with the court.

There are two starkly opposing views of the female Ukrainian air force pilot current being held in Russia, in what has become another battle in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian media war.
This latest information clash - played out mainly on social media as well as mainstream, pro-Kremlin media in Russia - typifies the way the conflict is being fought through opposing media narratives.
In the middle of it all is fashion designer-turned-air force helicopter pilot Nadiya Savchenko, 33.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande have urged Russia to use its influence on rebels in eastern Ukraine so that a meeting on a possible cease-fire can take place as soon as possible.
Merkel's spokesman said she and Hollande called President Vladimir Putin on Thursday morning.
Steffen Seibert said the German and French leaders stressed that the "contact group" made up of representatives of Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should meet as soon as possible with representatives of pro-Russian rebels, and "Russia should use its means of influence" to ensure that.
Seibert said all three agreed that a cease-fire and avoiding further civilian victims should be a top priority.

Ukraine doesn't believe that an unscheduled meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council initiated by Russia to discuss the humanitarian situation in Ukraine is possible, Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin has said.
"[There will be] no meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council," the minister said at a briefing on Thursday.
He said that none of the OSCE members backed a resolution proposed by Russia, and they won't consider it.
On July 8, Russia called on the OSCE to conduct an unscheduled meeting of the Permanent Council due to what it said was the continued worsening of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. Russia's draft resolution contains demands that Ukraine stop military actions and withdraw forces from the eastern part of the country, as well as to establish humanitarian corridors to the counter-terror operation area.

Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk promises to announce the most ambitious privatization in the history of Ukraine.
He said this at the All-Ukrainian Agricultural Forum in Kyiv on Thursday.
According to Yatseniuk, next week the government will consider a draft law on the list of objects that are not subject to privatization. "We will declare the most extensive privatization for all 20 years," he said.
The prime minister said that the Ukrspyrt company should be privatized, as well as other state-owned companies, "which are a subject of corruption rather than development of Ukraine."

He said that the criminal situation on the Maidan was "extremely tense."

Ukraine plans to import as much gas as it can from the EU, Prodan said.
"The capacity [for gas imports from the EU] totals about 15 billion cubic meters a year. Taking a half year, that is 7.5 billion cubic meters. That includes the volumes that will pass through Slovakia from September 1," he said.
Naftogaz Ukrainy, acting on instructions from Prodan, has restricted gas supplies to two combined heat and power plants in Kyiv and two in Kharkiv.

When his mother went to look for him at the rebel headquarters in the security services building, they told her he was under arrest, but alive and well.
One month later, the men who took him have fled their stronghold in this sleepy east Ukrainian town, unable to sustain the Ukrainian army’s barrage of mortar fire, and retreated to Donetsk, the provincial capital. The building where he was held captive is now half-destroyed, lined with mulch and detritus. The only evidence of what has happened to him is on files found lying on the floor, coated in a thick film of dust, signed and stamped by the separatists’ feared commander.
“By order of the military-field tribunal of the [Donetsk People’s Republic] militia on 17.06.2014,” it reads, “I hereby proclaim that Aleksey Borisovich Pichko, resident of the city of Slovyansk, is sentenced for looting to an exceptional measure of punishment — execution by firing squad — on the basis of the Decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “on martial law” from June 22nd, 1941.”
“The sentence has been carried out.”

KYIV, July 10 /Ukrinform/.
The last trilateral meeting of the contact group involving Ukraine, Russia and the OSCE on the settlement of the conflict in the Donbas has been held without Ukrainian Choice movement leader Viktor Medvedchuk.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.
"[Medvedchuk] did not participate in the latest round of talks, however, he helped with the contacts," the Ukrainska Pravda online newspaper quoted Klimkin as saying.
The minister recalled that Medvedchuk does not represent Ukraine in the negotiations, but did not rule out his participation and "the participation of other mediators" in future meetings.
quote:US ready to finance restoration of Donbas
KYIV, July 11 /Ukrinform/.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, during a phone conversation with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden, had discussed international efforts on the implementation of his peace plan in the Donbas and the restoration of infrastructure in the areas that were freed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces from terrorists, the presidential press service has reported.
Poroshenko noted that today the Ukrainian authorities pay great attention to the restoration of proper living conditions in the liberated towns, in particular, on ensuring water and electricity supply, television and radio broadcasting, which were destroyed or significantly damaged by militants.
He noted that the revival of civilian life in the Donbas is a priority for Ukraine, given what residents had to endure during terrorist invasion on Ukrainian settlements.
Biden, in turn, expressed his admiration for the self-restraint and actions of Ukraine and reiterated continued support from the United States. Biden said that the United States was ready to consider financing projects to rebuild infrastructure in the Donbas, following the example of the German initiative for residents of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
Biden also said that the United States stands ready to make efforts to expand support for Ukraine from international financial institutions.

KYIV, July 10 /Ukrinform/.
Sloviansk residents remain in information isolation and do not know what is really happening in the country, Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Valeria Lutkovska told a press briefing on Thursday.
"There is another problem for Sloviansk residents - they are in complete information vacuum. In fact, the square in front of the city council building is the only place where they can find some information," Lutkovska said.
The ombudsperson noted that the majority of citizens do not even know that during the time when they were ruled by separatists laws have been passed in the state and other steps have been taken for their protection and liberation. She also noted that now the locals due to absence of electricity and as a result - access to TV and radio - do not understand what is happening in Donbas.

Dit is zo overduidelijk onwaar. Poroshenko wil alleen vredesonderhandeling onder de voorwaarde dat de rebellen zich gewonnen geven. Andere partijen stellen overigens ook voorwaarden die neerkomen op een (gedeeltelijke) overwinning. Maar niemand wil toegeven dat hij het vredesoverleg blokkeert.

(Reuters) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told U.S. Vice President Joe Biden that Russia and Ukrainian separatists had refused multiple proposals by Kiev for venues to negotiate a ceasefire, the White House said on Thursday.
The two discussed the situation in eastern Ukraine in a phone call.
"The Vice President told President Poroshenko that the United States was discussing with its partners in the international community the need to hold Russia accountable for its continued support for the separatists," the White House said.

Laws do not work in Ukraine and the authorities are killing people instead of protecting them, Crimeas Prosecutor Natalia Poklonskaya said on Thursday while visiting a refugee camp for Ukrainians in the village of Opushki near Crimeas capital Simferopol.
Asked about a possibility of forced migrants to assert their rights in Ukraine, the prosecutor replied with emotion: Look what is going on in Ukraine! What is the law there and who are the authorities protecting? A bunch of people who gathered together and dictate their conditions to the others and God knows what they are about?
Which law regulates murder of ordinary citizens? the CrimeaInform quoted Poklonskaya as saying. Who has given them a right to murder? The law does not work in Ukraine, there is none there.
The people who came here and are now enjoying protection of Russian law and Russia testify to this fact, she said.

Ukrainian army keeps reinforcing its positions on the Crimean section of the state border with Russia, CrimeaInform reported from the Isthmus of Chongar which connects Crimea and the mainland.
quote:Operations are in full swing, Ukrainian military forces are digging trenches quickly. If separate firing points slightly deepened in the ground and imbedded with bags of sand were located at these places earlier, now these are full-scale trenches stretching in long lines at 100-200 metres one after another. No less than four lines of trenches are seen from Chongar deeply in Ukrainian territory. On their positions around five veiled infantry armoured vehicles, armoured assault vehicles and no less than two tanks T-64 are noticed. This is seen on a narrow neck of land running deep from checkpoint Chongar in the direction of railway stations Sivash and Novoalekseevka. Meanwhile, the very railway station Sivash was turned in a stronghold, its building was reinforced with bags of sand, the adjacent territory is also prepared for defense.

Lukashenko heeft een puntquote:Speech by Foreign Minister Carl Bildt at the Atlantic Council
But let’s be clear about one thing: this is a crisis initiated and driven by Russia in every single respect.
By starting its large-scale trade and economic pressure on Ukraine.
By more or less forcing then President Yanukovych to turn around and refuse to sign the EU agreement that he had negotiated and endorsed.
By then encouraging him to use violence to suppress the large Maidan demonstrations that erupted as a result.
By invading, occupying and annexing Crimea as President Yanukovych, for reasons that are still not entirely clear, abandoned the February 21 agreement, his presidency and his country.
By having the Federation Council approve authorisation for invading all of Ukraine, and then massing forces along its borders.
By launching a massive information and propaganda war not only against Ukraine’s European aspirations, but also to fuel fears and encourage divisions inside the country.
And by encouraging and supporting an armed insurrection to fracture the country, obviously aiming at the setting up of a Novorossiya semi-state in its eastern and southern parts.
This was and is a destabilising strategy of an order we have not seen in our part of the world for a long time.
The consequences of this succeeding would be profound. Certainly for Ukraine, but obviously well beyond that.
[...]
Russia must understand that we will never recognise the annexation of Crimea, and that it will burden our relationship for as long as it lasts.
And Russia must accept that Ukraine, like the other countries of the Eastern Partnership, truly has the right to continue on its democratic path and to choose its own European direction.

In het oosten van Oekrane heeft een raketaanval van rebellen op een grenspost het leven gekost aan 30 militairen en grenswachten, zegt een regeringswoordvoerder. Het dodental kan volgens hem nog oplopen.
De rebellen gebruikten een lanceerinstallatie die in 20 seconden 40 katjoesja-raketten kan afvuren.
De grenspost aan de Russische grens in de provincie Lugansk werden in de vroege ochtend onder vuur genomen. De woordvoerder liet weten dat een Oekraense reactie niet lang op zich zal laten wachten.
Verlies
Als het dodental wordt bevestigd, is dit het grootste verlies aan Oekraense kant sinds eind juni, toen door Kiev een eenzijdig bestand werd afgekondigd. Midden juni werd een Oekraens militair vliegtuig met 49 inzittenden neergehaald.
Het Oekraense leger is bezig met een opmars, met als belangrijkste wapenfeit de herovering van Slavjansk.

quote:'Tientallen Oekraense militairen gedood door separatisten'
Mogelijk dertig Oekraense militairen en grenswachten zijn vrijdag omgekomen door een raketaanval van pro-Russische separatisten in het oosten van Oekrane.
Dat heeft een adviseur van minister Arsen Avakov van Binnenlandse Zaken vrijdag laten weten.
De aanval had rond 5.00 uur in de ochtend (plaatselijke tijd) plaats bij de grensovergang in Zelenopillja in de regio Loehansk.
De adviseur sloot niet uit dat er nog meer slachtoffers zijn gevallen, omdat de separatisten, door hem aangeduid als ''bloeddorstig uitschot'', veel raketten hebben afgevuurd en er veel vernielingen zijn aangericht.
Als het aantal doden inderdaad zo hoog is, is het de zwaarste aanval van de separatisten op regeringsmilitairen sinds president Petro Porosjenko begin vorige week een eenzijdig staakt-het-vuren opzegde.
Separatisten
Eerder op vrijdag maakte de Oekraense legerleiding bekend dat bij een luchtaanval bij de Oekranse grensplaats Izvarino zeker vijftig pro-Russische separatisten zijn gedood.
De luchtaanval was gericht op een ''concentratie separatisten vlak bij Izvarino'', dat aan de grens met Rusland ligt.
Offensief
De Oekraense troepen zijn ten westen van Donetsk, in Oost-Oekrane, begonnen aan een grote aanval om de separatisten tot overgave te dwingen.
In april startte het regering van Oekrane een grootschalige 'anti-terroristische operatie' in het oosten van het land om de pro-Russische separatisten te verdrijven. Bij gevechten tussen de rebellen en de militairen zijn al honderden mensen, overwegend militanten, omgekomen.
