"Givi" killed, another death of well known separatist in Eastern Ukraine

             Today the commander of one of the battalion of the self-proclaimed  Donetsk People's Republic was killed. Mikhail Tolstych was known as “Givi”. This is not the first death of high rank separatists well known from Russian media. In October last year famous separatist named “Motorola” was killed. It cannot come as a surprise to the people serving to the war in Eastern Ukraine. If you are take part in the invasion to the sovereign state, you are the reason of exodus of residents from the territory and you are damaging many lives and destinies, you cannot believe that your life will end up peacefully.

Georgian pass to EU: "We don't need no thought control"

     Georgian aspire to travel to the Schengen zone without a visa will soon come true. This week the majority of the European Parliament voted for visa-free regime for Georgian citizenship. The procedure still requires some technical realizations. In case of increase of migration or asylum seekers from Georgia, EU will be able to suspend the visa-free travel. The regime is designed for travelling, visiting and business purposes trip but not working on the territory of Schengen. Ukraine is going through similar procedure of EU visa liberalization. However, the war in Eastern Ukraine brings the case on another level of consideration and procedures.

The Union State of Russia and Belarus: time to separate?

              Russia has established a border area with its partner of the Union – Belarus. Allegedly it has to do with the “necessary security of the boarder control of the Russian Federation”.  However, it is not the first time when Russia makes steps that show that not everything is smooth and harmonized in this Union. Last year Russian government have forbidden a transit of foreign passengers to Russia via Belarus. Also Belarusian citizens’ passports are being checked in the Russian airports that was not a case before. Belarus pays these costs for being not obedient to Russia. If you want be a master, you have to take care of you dependant, if you do not have resources, be ready that a dependant will look for another master.

Escalation of Russian aggression: Avdiyivka humanitarian disaster

             Recent escalation of the Russian military aggression in the East Ukraine has brought death to dozens of civilians. It leaved inhabitants of Avdiyivka city without electricity, heating and water. There are 2500 children among 17 thousand inhabitants. This is not the first of the last place being damaged by Russian-backed separatists. Ruined, not liveable cities are being left after Russian forces “protect” of Russian-speaking population. East Ukraine should not become another frozen-conflict in Eastern Europe. It is a on-going war that makes Russia feel as a global power in the world. The bed news for Kremlin is, there is no power in a state where a human life costs nothing.
