Why "Ukraine peace" is an oxymoron.


Why the Ukraine can not be put back together again in the foreseeable future.

The following is a remarkable article published in the Financial Times. It is remarkable for two reasons. One, the Times is a conservative, staid newspaper. But two, the newspaper makes two acknowledgements that the near-entirety of Western mainstream media cannot bring itself to report—that the armed forces of the Kyiv governing regime have been ruthlessly shelling and attacking the people of the Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples Republics for the past six months, and two, the people do not like this and have turned against the ‘Ukraine’ that Kyiv represents. A revelation! It is truly remarkable that such simple reporting of facts in this war becomes something so noteworthy and, well, remarkable.

And now this just in:
Donetsk is subjected to the most powerful attack in the entire war for independence of Donbass.

The city is shaking from explosions and is under fire from exploding ammunition of Ukrainian terrorists. Emergency vehicles are rushing through the streets…
"I have a feeling as if all the "fascist dogs" got a command to attack", - reports from the scene our military correspondent. "Many Donetsk residents, who are not easily scared anymore, doubt they will survive this night and are saying goodbye to loved ones."

It is hard to imagine how many will be wounded and killed in the fire of hell, organized by the Ukrainian army.
P. S. Simultaneously with frenzied bombardment of cities of Donbass, Poroshenko is putting on a show - now live from the General staff issuing an order for ceasefire. First, in Ukrainian, then in English - for TV picture.

In both the conflict between the eurocrats and Syriza, and also the parties to the Minsk agreement, the leaders have to look like they are seriously trying in good faith for a resolution, but the facts belie resolution.
