Neo- Nazi forces are 10 km from Kiev, there are children among killed civilians.They want to overthrow democratically elected government and appoint their own. Putin's #Russia must be cut from civilised world. Lets stop trembling on swift,provide #Ukraine with real military aid.

#Putin says Moscow is ready to look for ‘diplomatic solutions’. Beware! He has probably different vocabulary. Peacekeeping- ‘piece-keeping’(pieces of land); liberation-  annexation; negotiations- blackmailing, Russian world- #Russia without borders…

Moment of true. Again. Will #Putin's belief that Western sanctions deserve only ridicule be dispelled? Will it be possible to contain spread of #Kremlin pandemic? Talks about importance of dialogue or usual condemnations will certainly not succeed.

BREAKING: Putin decided to recognise ‘breakaway republics’ of Donbass as independent. Since 2008 he calls Ukraine as  ‘artificial creation’.Today he repeated that Ukraine was Lenin’s ‘erroneous decisions’. Time is ripe for these ‘painful sanctions’. Immediately!

Farce of evacuation from Donbass once again showed that people- women, children have no meaning or value to #Kremlin. Whole performance, instigated panic devoted to justify insinuation of #Ukraine’s aggression and decision to annex this region of Ukraine.

Putin stated he doesn’t trust Minsk agreements. As expected. Otherwise how he can prove recognition of independence and annexation of breakaway ‘republics’ of occupied Donbass.  Now trying to wrap his adventure in beautiful propaganda paper. In vain, no one believes him any more.

Greatest threat of military aggression after WWII not for the first time demonstrates complete helplessness of #UN. When #Russia- member of P5- instead of defending peace and security becomes an aggressor itself.

In #Russia’s military drills’- unprovoked and unjustified threats to neighbours- participate 75% of conventional forces, cost a lot of money. Demonstration of total vanity and criminal cynicism.  Russians not protesting due to repressive state  apparatus or brainwashing?

When #Russia attacks, then will be too late for painful measures. Who would care in #Ukraine when their country will be destroyed? If #Russia really wants to prevent provocations and supposed ‘genocide’ it must agree to deploy #UN peacekeepers along whole ‘touch- line’.

#Russia didn’t want war in 2008, but ‘was forced’ to occupy 20% of #Georgia. They didn’t annex Crimea- it was ‘reunification’. Now they don’t want, but feel compelled to protect from ‘genocide’ their citizens whom they have ‘produced’ by issuing  passports in occupied Donbass.

#Kremlin laughs that world is so tense watching #Russia's threats. Reminds terrorists who make fun of their victims for bigger ransom. There can be no gift or ‘compensation’ for terrorizing everyone — even if things fall apart for them aggressor mustn’t escape punishment.

There will be no #Russia’s delegation in Munich security conference. They say ‘there are many reasons for that’. Looks like one reason is quite clear- active provocations now started along whole occupation line, ‘as planned’. Stanytsia Luhanska was shelled with heavy weapons.

Seams that leak of intelligence have disrupted #Russia’s war machine, forcing to be adjusted. #Kremlin now tries to ridicule Western ‘paranoia’, but still delaying withdrawal of forces. Instead claiming to be a superpower, Russia confirms status of real super-problem.
