The Russian armed forces’ strategic missile command (RVSN) have ordered a snap inspection of the state of the nuclear arsenal in one of the country’s central military bases near the city of Yoshkar-Ola.

The surprise test, announced today by RVSN, will assess the condition of the intercontinental ballistic and nuclear missile units, as well as test the readiness of the nuclear facilities near Yoshkar-Ola in hypothetical emergency situations.

“During the tests, specific attention will be paid to matters of the command’s preparedness to eliminate hazards in the event of an accident related to the nuclear weapons and also in the instance and it will test the emergency squad of the command,” Colonel Igor Yegorov, the RVSN spokesman, told press.

While the tests will entail an assessment of the nuclear storage facilities, fire safety and general hazard-containment conditions of the Yoshkar-Ola RVSN base, according to Yegorov servicemen will also be given a rudimentary test on nuclear arms operation.

Coal Miners Strike, Hold up Traffic in West Ukraine

Miners in West Ukraine have gone on indefinite strike over unpaid wages

There is a traffic jam of several dozen trucks because of the protests at the entrance to the Chervonograd mine.

The miners went on indefinite strike, that's why none of the mines of the western region are working (part of the workers already went on strike in Kiev). The reason is parliament's failure to provide promised state subsidies from the budget, says Oleg Turchin, the head of Lviv territorial organization of the coal industry's workers trade union.

Ukraine mine rescue: Anxious families await news

2 hours ago

A suspected gas blast at a coal mine in a rebel-held region of east Ukraine is believed to have killed at least 30 miners, the rebels told the BBC.

Seventeen people were confirmed dead at the Zasyadko mine, officials said. Fifteen are still missing, feared dead.

Zasyadko was the scene of Ukraine's worst mine disaster nearly eight years ago, when 101 people were killed.

There are fears the rebels lack the resources to deal with the disaster.

The BBC's Tom Burridge reports from Donetsk.

The demonisation of Russia risks paving the way for war
..
Hundreds of US troops are arriving in Ukraine this week to bolster the Kiev regime’s war with Russian-backed rebels in the east. Not to be outdone, Britain is sending 75 military advisers of its own. As 20th-century history shows, the dispatch of military advisers is often how disastrous escalations start. They are also a direct violation of last month’s Minsk agreement, negotiated with France and Germany, that has at least achieved a temporary ceasefire and some pull-back of heavy weapons. Article 10 requires the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Ukraine.

Hungary prepares for worsening situation in Western Ukraine

The Hungarian government has to prepare for a continuously deteriorating situation in Western Ukraine, a government official said in Berehove in western Ukraine. Tamás Wetzel, deputy state secretary in charge of Hungarian communities abroad, met the board of Hungarian Cultural Federation in Transcarpathia (KMKSZ) in Uzhhorod on Monday, and local ethnic Hungarian political and religious leaders in Mukacheve and Berehove on Tuesday.

Wetzel told MTI they had discussed the political and economic situation, noting that the latter continued to worsen to such a degree that it called for immediate measures. “One has to start to prepare for an ever worsening scenario, since prices and public utility fees have been going up at a dramatic rate and inflation is so bad in comparison to low wages that all this could spark a social catastrophe,” he said.

“The Hungarian government would like to prepare for this situation, to be able to take necessary measures, besides maintaining the support it has already provided to the region. The Hungarian government stands behind Hungarians in Transcarpathia at all times,” he added. Wetzel said he discussed citizenship and authority issues with the mission heads at Hungary’s consulate general in Uzhhorod and the consulate in Berehove.

Bad meat, big money taint Ukraine's food industry

This investigative project was conducted by the Washington-based Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a Kyiv Post partner. Kyiv Post staff writer Vlad Lavrov coordinated this project.

Businesses in Ukraine have been buying meat from companies abroad that have been guilty of selling unsafe meat to Eastern Europe. It might be still happening. Assuming consumers don't want to become vegetarians, they can better protect themselves by avoiding processed or frozen meats and buying meat that is fresh, grown in Ukraine and hasn't been frozen.

One source of the unsafe meat was a plant in Bad Bentheim, Germany, where ARD German television found former workers who say were ordered to mix spoiled ground meat, essentially waste product from other plants, with fresh meat. Meat from this company was sold into Eastern Europe including Ukraine by the plant's owner, Trinity Gmbh, a company in Lower Saxony which boasts on its website that it is the “masters in meat processing."

When workers complained about what was going on, they say they were fired and then threatened.

“One ton of bad meat is mixed with three tons of normal meat," the workers told the ARD reporters. “They say they were forced to mix spoiled ground chicken with fresh ground chicken."

Is the IMF Bailout Enough for Ukraine?

Q: How realistic is the IMF’s proposed $17.5 billion program for Ukraine? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Kirilenko: At least for 2015, the new Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program is much more realistic than the hastily put together standby program that it replaced. The new program is much more realistic in four areas: it is spot on in identifying the severity of economic contraction in the real economy (Ukraine’s GDP growth is set at negative 5.5 percent in 2015) accompanied by accelerating inflation (prices are forecast to grow about 30 percent in 2015); improving the current account balance due to the weakening of the hryvnia; the size of government deficit (-4.2 percent of GDP); and the deficit of the state gas monopoly Naftogaz (somewhat less believable, but plausible -3.1 percent of GDP).

The program is very weak in two areas. It severely underestimates banking sector bailout needs: the funds programmed to flow from the central bank to the banking system are set at about 2.6 percent of GDP in 2015. Given its massive internal problems, as evidenced by the fact that forty percent to sixty percent of the banks’ loans are deemed to be non-performing, this number is way off. Probably about five times this much money should be allocated to this effort in 2015 alone.

Breedlove's Bellicosity: Berlin Alarmed by Aggressive NATO Stance on Ukraine

US President Obama supports Chancellor Merkel's efforts at finding a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis. But hawks in Washington seem determined to torpedo Berlin's approach. And NATO's top commander in Europe hasn't been helping either.
[..]
On that same day, General Philip Breedlove, the top NATO commander in Europe, stepped before the press in Washington. Putin, the 59-year-old said, had once again "upped the ante" in eastern Ukraine -- with "well over a thousand combat vehicles, Russian combat forces, some of their most sophisticated air defense, battalions of artillery" having been sent to the Donbass. "What is clear," Breedlove said, "is that right now, it is not getting better. It is getting worse every day."

German leaders in Berlin were stunned. They didn't understand what Breedlove was talking about. And it wasn't the first time. Once again, the German government, supported by intelligence gathered by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's foreign intelligence agency, did not share the view of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR).

Sources in the Chancellery have referred to Breedlove's comments as "dangerous propaganda." Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier even found it necessary recently to bring up Breedlove's comments with NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg.

The 'Super Hawk'

But Breedlove hasn't been the only source of friction. Europeans have also begun to see others as hindrances in their search for a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict. First and foremost among them is Victoria Nuland, head of European affairs at the US State Department. She and others would like to see Washington deliver arms to Ukraine and are supported by Congressional Republicans as well as many powerful Democrats.

quote:

Breedlove, though, repeatedly made inexact, contradictory or even flat-out inaccurate statements. On Nov. 18, 2014, he told the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that there were "regular Russian army units in eastern Ukraine." One day later, he told the website of the German newsmagazine Stern that they weren't fighting units, but "mostly trainers and advisors."

He initially said there were "between 250 and 300" of them, and then "between 300 and 500." For a time, NATO was even saying there were 1,000 of them.

Latest from the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM), based on information received as of 18:00hrs, 6 March 2015
In particular during the reporting period:

-In government-controlled Hrodivka, a Ukrainian Armed forces commander prevented the SMM from monitoring the movement of heavy weapons beyond that location.

- On the way to Svobodne (56km south-south-west of Donetsk), where the SMM planned to monitor a Ukrainian Armed Forces convoy, the SMM was stopped at a Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoint west of Volnovakha (51km south-south-west of Donetsk). The commander of the checkpoint requested and was told the names and nationalities of all the SMM monitors. The SMM repeatedly asked for permission to pass the checkpoint, but the commander said he was still awaiting permission from the brigade commander. The SMM decided to turn back towards Donetsk.

- At a Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoint in Volnovakha (51km south-south-west of Donetsk) the SMM was refused passage and had to change its route and had to proceed southwards to Mariupol. At a Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoint located 2km north of Mariupol (115km south of Donetsk) the SMM was stopped again and had to wait for over 30 minutes. Not having received approval to proceed, the SMM decided to take an alternative route to return to Donetsk city.

- While on its way to a previously visited concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces site in the northern part of the Donetsk region, the SMM was restricted in its freedom of movement at a checkpoint – located 20km to the north-west from the junction of roads to Artemivsk and Soledar -manned by Ukrainian Armed forces personnel and thereby prevented to verify the withdrawal of the previously monitored heavy weapons

- While in “LPR”-controlled Parkhomenko (29km east of Luhansk) the SMM was stopped by “border guards” for a document check. The “border guards” asked for special authorization for patrols in the border area which they explained to the SMM as 15km from the contact line.

- On two separate occasions, Ukrainian Armed Forces convoy commanders prevented the SMM from monitoring the movement of heavy weapons beyond government-controlled Shtormove (60km north-north-west of Luhansk).

-In three separate instances in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian Armed Forces convoy commanders prevented the SMM from monitoring the movement of military hardware beyond certain points.

- At a “DPR”-controlled checkpoint, north of Olenivka (22km south-west of Donetsk), the SMM was held up for 20 minutes until the local “DPR” commander came and escorted the SMM through Olenivka to the last “DPR”-controlled checkpoint south of the town.

- At a Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoint, 10 kilometres north of Mariupol, the SMM was held up for 35 minutes – and allowed to proceed only after contacting Ukrainian authorities.
