quote:'Russen hebben weer veel troepen bij grens Oekrane'
Rusland heeft alweer 10.000 tot 12.000 miltairen langs de grens met Oekrane samengetrokken. Dat schatte de NAVO maandag. De schatting komt ten tijde van oplopende spanningen tussen Oekrane en Rusland.
Veel strijd wordt geleverd vrijwel aan de grens van de twee landen ten zuidoosten van de Oekraense stad Loehansk.
Eerder dit jaar trok Rusland ongeveer 40.000 man terug van de grens. Half juni zouden er nog maar duizend man gelegerd zijn.
Oekrane beschuldigt Rusland van betrokkenheid bij de strijd van separatisten. Rusland overweegt volgens het persbureau RIA Novosti ''chirurgische tegenaanvallen'' op Oekraens grondgebied, omdat daarvandaan op Rusland wordt geschoten.
quote:'Raket uit Rusland trof Oekraens vliegtuig'
De raket waarmee maandag een Oekraens militair transportvliegtuig werd neergeschoten, is ''waarschijnlijk'' afgevuurd vanuit Rusland.
Die beschuldiging heeft het Oekraense ministerie van Defensie maandag geuit, meldde het Oekraense persbureau Interfax.
Het vliegtuig, een Antonov An-26, vloog volgens het ministerie op 6,5 kilometer hoogte boven het oosten van Oekrane. De kans dat het is geraakt door een lichte, vanaf de schouder afgevuurde raket is daarom klein volgens Oekrane.
''Het vliegtuig is geraakt door een andere, krachtigere raket, die waarschijnlijk is afgevuurd van Russisch grondgebied'', aldus de verklaring.
Maar volgens Russische media hebben rebellen in de regio Loehansk de verantwoordelijkheid opgeist voor het neerschieten van het vliegtuig. Ze zouden inzittenden gevangen hebben genomen en hen ondervragen.
Het is onduidelijk hoeveel mensen aan boord waren. Het Oekraense leger zoekt ten zuidoosten van de stad Loehansk naar het toestel en de inzittenden.

Die komen me bekend voor uit het Irak-topic, dat zijn Sukhoi Su-25 toestellen die Irak vorige week van Rusland heeft gekregen. De Oekranse luchtmacht heeft die dingen indardaad ook, maar het plaatje zal wel van willekeurig Irak-bericht geript zijn gezien de identieke kleurstelling.

BRICS neutrality on Ukraine a diplomatic win for Putin
A summit of the BRICS group of emerging market countries will abstain from criticising Russia's recent actions in Ukraine, Brazilian officials said, a diplomatic victory for President Vladimir Putin.
The summit statement will make only a passing reference to Ukraine and will echo the neutral stance adopted by Russia's fellow BRICS countries - China, India, Brazil and South Africa - at the United Nations, according to Brazilian diplomats organising the meeting on Tuesday in Fortaleza.
Facing efforts to isolate Russia by leading Western nations, the BRICS summit provides Putin with a welcome geopolitical platform to show he has friends elsewhere, economic powers seen as shaping the future of the world. [Reuters]

Ukraine Crisis: More Canadian Troops Heading To Europe
OTTAWA - About 120 Canadian soldiers leave for eastern and central Europe today as part of a continuing show of support for Ukraine.
The military would not give a specific destination for the troops.
The soldiers are from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment and they will relieve a contingent from the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, which was sent to Poland earlier this spring.
The latest Canadian detachment is slated to take part in training exercises with U.S. and NATO troops.
The Harper government has been strongly supportive of Ukraine in its showdown with Russia.
Dozens of Russian individuals and institutions have been placed on a sanctions list.
Canada also has six CF-18 fighter jets in Europe. They were originally sent to Romania, but now are moving to Latvia on Russia's Baltic doorstep.

As the conflict in Ukraine continues, another battle rages far from the front lines—a battle between Russian news sites and a group of Kiev-based journalists who say the sites are misusing, even fabricating, news photographs filed from Ukraine.
In an effort to put a stop to what they see as fraud, the journalists—who are alumni and students at Kiev’s Mohyla School of Journalism—have launched Stopfake.org, a “fact-checking project, which aims to help people separate the truth from the lie in the media,” as the group’s co-founder and editor-in-chief Oleg Shankovskyi tells TIME.
Shankovskyi and his colleagues feel that the best way to combat what they see as an inappropriate use of images is simply to point out the inaccuracies. “Very often people just don’t think critically about what they hear from the media—they just believe it,” he says.

Maria Tsypko on various Russian TV stations.
The group points to one recurring instance of apparent misrepresentation as typical of the stories
they are trying to counter. A woman called Maria Tsypko periodically emerges in interviews on Russian TV, each time in an apparently different pro-Russian role. She has been interviewed as a separatist camp organizer in Odessa, played a political refugee in Sevastopol and even collected donations in Crimea to ask Russia for help.
Not all misappropriated media has been this blatant, the group says. Often photographs shot in China, Canada and Mexico over the past 30 years are recaptioned to represent events currently occurring in Ukraine.
One photo of a burning tank claimed to be from conflicts in Donbass was actually taken in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square protests. Another image pictured a crying girl sitting on the body of her deceased mother, allegedly killed in Donbass. The image is actually a promotional photo from the 2010 Russian war film Fortress of War.
One of the more obvious examples of misappropriation involves Ron Haviv’s iconic 1992 image from the Bosnian War, which shows Serbian paramilitary officers, known as Arkan’s Tigers, kicking the dying bodies of Muslims. The photo recently went viral on Facebook and Twitter, with a caption claiming it portrayed Ukrainian soldiers in Crimea.
“This, of course, is just a complete misuse and fabrication, and is being used to instill fear,” says Haviv. “It doesn’t represent the current situation in Ukraine because it’s not Ukraine.”
Indeed, he views photo misuse as part of a larger trend in recent conflict photography. War-torn countries like Syria have become too dangerous for many professional journalists to visit, leaving the media often dependent on images and videos produced by the combatants themselves. “I think we’re certainly seeing with the war in Syria, and now in this conflict, the power of social media,” says Haviv. “It’s so easy to take an image from one place, put another caption on it and put it out there.” The line between news and propaganda has never been so thin.

quote:Washington Post: Ukraine says military plane was 'probably' shot down from Russian territory
DNIPROPETROVSK, Ukraine — Ukraine’s top defense official said Monday that Russia may have shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane, an action that would represent a dramatic new step in the months-long conflict that has engulfed eastern Ukraine.
Pro-Russian separatists immediately asserted responsibility for the downing of the An-26 plane over Luhansk, but Ukrainian Defense Minister Valery Heletey said the aircraft had been flying too high for their shoulder-mounted rockets to reach it.
“The plane was downed by another, more powerful missile weapon that probably was used from the territory of the Russian Federation,” Heletey told President Petro Poroshenko, according to a statement on the president’s Web site. Russia did not comment on the accusation.

The town of Amvrosiivka was shelled from Grad from the territory of Russia this night. Volodymyr Parasiuk writes on his Facebook page. “This night, Amvrosiivka is shelled from Grad from the territory of Russia. Information is verified.”
Also, according to Parasiuk, the 24th Brigade is again bombarded near the Dovzhansky checkpoint.
“The 24th Brigade stayed at one place for two days and moved nowhere. Perhaps, someone gave such an order so that the enemy could take a careful sight,” he notes.

Russia's Continuing Support for Armed Separatists in Ukraine and Ukraine's Efforts Toward Peace, Unity, and Stability
While Russia says it seeks peace, its actions do not match its rhetoric. We have no evidence that Russia’s support for the separatists has ceased. In fact, we assess that Russia continues to provide them with heavy weapons, other military equipment and financing, and continues to allow militants to enter Ukraine freely. Russia denies this, just as it denied its forces were involved in Crimea -- until after the fact. Russia has refused to call for the separatists to lay down their arms, and continues to mass its troops along the Ukrainian border. Many self-proclaimed “leaders” of the separatists hail from Russia and have ties to the Russian government. This all paints a telling picture of Russia’s continued policy of destabilization in eastern Ukraine.
Here are the facts:

quote:Partijen Oekrane mogelijk in gesprek
Strijdende partijen in Oekrane hebben dinsdag mogelijk contact met elkaar. President Petro Porosjenko heeft laten weten dat zijn regering direct contact wil met de pro-Russische separatisten in het oosten van het land.
Porosjenko onderstreepte dat in een telefoongesprek met de Duitse bondskanselier Angela Merkel.
Dinsdag is er wellicht een videoconferentie met vertegenwoordigers van Oekrane, Rusland, separatisten en van de Organisatie voor Veiligheid en Samenwerking in Europa (OVSE).
De separatisten ontkenden dinsdag dat ze wapens krijgen geleverd uit Rusland. Een van hun leiders verklaarde dinsdag dat de wapens die ze gebruiken, waaronder zware raketwerpers, afkomstig zijn uit de arsenalen van het Oekraense leger.
Kiev heeft Rusland er van beschuldigd de separatisten van wapentuig te voorzien. Dat gebeurde nadat maandag een Oekraens transportvliegtuig uit de lucht werd geschoten met een raket.

Putin seeks BRICS moves to protect against U.S. 'sanction attacks'
(Reuters) - Russia will press other BRICS emerging market nations to agree measures to prevent "sanction attacks" by the United States to "harass" countries opposing its policies, President Vladimir Putin said.
Putin said he would urge Brazil, China, India and South Africa to draw "substantive conclusions" from sanctions imposed on Russia over its role in the Ukraine crisis during a two-day BRICS summit in Brazil starting on Tuesday.
"Recently Russia has been exposed to a sanction attack by the United States and its allies," the Kremlin leader told Itar-Tass news agency in an interview.
"Together we should think about a system of measures that would help prevent the harassment of countries that do not agree with some foreign policy decisions made by the United States and their allies, but would promote a civilised dialogue on all points at issue based on mutual respect."
Putin gave no details but said the BRICS should cooperate more at the United Nations, where Russia and China have the right of veto, and work together more closely to combat security threats.
"Any attempts to create a model of international relations where all decisions are made within a single 'pole' are ineffective, malfunction regularly, and are ultimately set to fail," he told Itar-Tass.
