Ukraine bans 41 international journalists and bloggers
New York, September 16, 2015 - The Committee to Protect Journalists deplores a decree signed by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko today which, according to a copy viewed by CPJ, bans at least 41 international journalists and bloggers from Ukraine for one year. The journalists and bloggers were among 388 people named as representing an "actual or potential threat to national interests, national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine," according to news reports.
The 34 journalists and seven bloggers named in the ban come from Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The decree, which was published on the presidential website, does not explain what press coverage Ukrainian authorities deem as a threat to national security. Three BBC journalists including Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg were banned. In a statement, Andrew Roy, foreign editor of the BBC, called the ban "a shameful attack on media freedom," and described it as an "inexplicable measure to take against BBC journalists who are reporting the situation in Ukraine impartially and objectively," The Guardian reported.

Are Poroshenko going crazy?
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said that the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which was taken on Sept. 2, 2015, on extending sanctions against Russia concerns over 400 individuals and 90 legal entities who are responsible for criminal actions against Ukraine.
The Guardian notes that the true motive behind Kiev's decision to blacklist journalists not been sorted out yet.

Even more absurd seem the names Antonio Pampliega and Angel Sastre in the context. There are two Spanish war correspondents who last heard of in July when they were in Aleppo in Syria. They are feared to have been kidnapped by the Islamic State, IS.

Poroshenko said the new sanctions would “strengthen the defences not only of Ukraine but of Europe as a whole, because a war is going on here”.
Europe as a whole? What do he mean?

Later on Thursday afternoon, said presidential press secretary that the three BBC journalists' names are removed from the blacklist.

He graduated from technical school and then worked as a mine electrician until he rose to prominence in April 2014 as commander of a militia.

That's what I call a Head of State.

A letter from a Swedish prosecutor indicating that Sweden is protecting Ukrainian interests is circulating in Russian media. But the letter is fake, according to experts.
http://www.svd.se/fake-swedish-letter-in-russian-media/om/sverige

Why bring Sweden into this?
– It’s part of the Russian agenda to create a picture where Sweden is part of the geopolitical ambitions of the West and therefore poses a threat.

Kremlin must be mad if they think Sweden has geopolitical ambitions!

The parties in the Ukraine conflict, known as the Normandy Group (Germany, France, Ukraine, and Russia), will meet in Paris on 2 October, following up the deal in Minsk. Already on Sunday the four foreign ministers in Berlin will meet to prepare for the summit.

The Minsk ceasefire has been broken on several occasions and a low-intensity war has always been going on in eastern Ukraine. Since September 1, however, the guns are silent.

The Guardian - Ukraine's government bears more responsibility for ongoing conflict than the far-right -
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/04/ukraine-government-svoboda-clashes-conflict

"It is the current government that bears more responsibility for the ongoing conflict than the Ukrainian far-right and its armed groups. It is the current government who are responsible for new repressions, censorship and discriminatory measures".

No. Petro Poroshenko claim that Russia may have been behind the grenade attack on the police.
I don't think so. It's Nationalists in Ukriane that are guilty.
Pravy Sector and the Svoboda party.

We have these blue and yellow bastards here as well!
The party Sweden Democrats is now a big party in our country with both MPs and MEPs.

Federal Security Service Border Service intends to build a 2m high fence near the Russian city of Donetsk in the Rostov County on the border with Ukraine.

The fence is needed to prevent illegal activities at the border, explains its representative for RIA Novosti.

The 3.22 km long fence will be under the construction contract consist of 2 m high and 2.5 m wide sections with reinforced barbed wire. The fence is being built completed before 1 December 2015.

Ukraine has previously stated that it builds Protection Agency Wall, which was then renamed to the dike, on the border with Russia. Kiev intends to complete the project in three years.

Perhaps that means that Russia will stop army equipment and heavy weapons to being sent to Ukraine.
Way to go Vova!

Hmm. There are many walls erected here in Europe now...

P.S. I don't understand who was Putin's agent there, the National Guard or special forces of police?

There is no Russian involvement in this terrorist attack.
Protesters from the ultranationalist Right Sector organization and the Svoboda (Freedom) party turned against riot police during the protest against the bill, throwing sticks, smoke bombs and tear gas canisters and beating police officers with sticks and truncheons. The violence climaxed with one protester hurling a live grenade at National Guard servicemen, causing more than 100 injuries and the three deaths so far.

According to advisor to the Ukraine's Internal Minister Anton Gerashchenko, a grenade was thrown at law enforcers. The Internal Ministry considers the clashes a terrorist attack, he wrote.
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150831/1026386506.html#ixzz3kOoY1xPx
I saw some Pravy Sector members and flags in the crowd so I think it's most likely they who threw that.

Around 90 persons have been injured by shrapnel and the subsequent riot, almost all police and National Guardsmen. Around 30 protesters were arrested, but clashes continued in other parts of central Kiev.

"We have arrested a person and seized a number of grenades, including the F-1 that allows maximum damage," wrote Interior Minister Arsen Avakov on his Facebook page.

According to some information, including from Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitjko, at least one person have died.

All patriotic Ukrainians, if they don't want get schizophrenia, must think that the Putin's agents beat the Putin's agents near the Rada now. LOL.

Russian and proxy forces in East Ukraine are under president Putin’s command.
Even in case of irregular troops, Putin has full responsibility for Russian citizens and arms which have been allowed over the border by Russian authorities!

The Blue Division was a unit of Spanish volunteers that served in the German Army on the Eastern Front of the Second World War.
Size - 45,482 through rotation.

WWII?
You cannot compare WWII with what happening in East Ukraine right now.
In East Ukriane there is a hybrid warfare.
Russian soldiers on "leave" with a lot of Russian military weapons fighting together with pro-russian ukrainians in Donbass.

Donbass is a VERY small region in Europe!

The Blue Division was a unit of Spanish volunteers that served in the German Army on the Eastern Front of the Second World War.
Size - 45,482 through rotation. Population of Spain was about 26 millions in 1941.
Population of Russia was about 146 millions in 2014.
Sapienti sat.

According to Borodai, the number of Donbas volunteers varies between 30,000 and 50,000. "Russian volunteers should be socially protected and united, that is why we are establishing this organization."
http://tass.ru/en/russia/816955
The Russian government has never denied presence of its nationals in Donbas stressing that these people were volunteers, not mercenaries.

Of course not. Kremlin denies everything.
Volunteers my ass...
Most of them are enlisted russian soldiers on vacation in Donbass orded by Kremlin!
50,000 volunteers! Give me a break.

And the Russian media are now more aggressive than ever to ridicule the Nordic States.
Such as this.
