Poroshenko says elections in Crimea "fake"
https://www.unian.info/politics/10047536-poroshenko-says-elections-in-crimea-fake.html
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said holding of the so-called presidential elections in temporarily occupied Crimea by the Russian occupation administration is yet another brutal violation of international law. Neither the fixed "voting turnout" nor the made up "results" correspond to reality, the president said in a statement. The official data published are nothing but "falsification", he said, calling the total ballot report a "worthless piece of paper", the presidential press service reports.

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström (S) strongly criticizes the election.
"This election result was expected. The election campaign in Russia has been rigged to President Putin's advantage, including government control over the media and opposition parties who are prevented from candidate. " Wallström writes in a text message to SVT News.
The Foreign Minister is also critical that the election was conducted on the Crimean Peninsula annexed by Russia.
"The date of the presidential election coincides with the anniversary of Russia's illegal annexation of the Crimea. We condemn that the elections have also been conducted in this occupied area of Russia. ", writes Margot Wallström ..

Saakashvili from Georgia and Savchenko from Ukraine...
Poroshenko have praised them both before.
Now they are enemies of Ukraine.
Anyway next year it will be an election in Ukraine and I hope that Poroshenko will not be elected.
He has not done any reforms at all since 2014.
But who's next President in Ukraine?
I have no idea.

Nonsense.
It's Russia that provoke Ukraine.
https://www.unian.info/politics/10068620-admiral-ihor-kabanenko-situation-with-nord-fishing-vessel-may-be-a-planned-provocation-by-russia-to-legitimize-deployment-of-its-naval-group-in-the-azov-sea.html
Russia has for more than 300 years tried to gain more naval access, both in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea .
Sorry Russia. Those seas belongs to all countries around them and it's regulated by international laws.
Russia has violated international laws.
The Nord roughly violated Ukrainian legislation when it was "re-registered" in a temporarily occupied territory, which was not recognized by the legislation of Ukraine, and illegally crossed the state border of Ukraine in Crimea (that is, without Ukraine's border control). For this, criminal liability is provided, and Ukraine had all grounds for the detention of the said vessel, as well as the imposition of arrest by the decision of the Ukrainian court.
There is another aspect. The Russian-flagged Nord was fishing in the exclusive maritime economic zone (EMEZ) of Ukraine, which is a gross violation of Art. 56 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ratified by the Russian Federation.

And of course "Masha" get it all wrong as usual:)
Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stated that by seizing the Nord, Ukraine acted similarly to "Somali pirates."

Really?
Speaking of safety of navigation in other countries economical maritime zones.
Russia pledges to take extra security measures during missile tests in the BalticSea, but it did not provide information what kind of missiles will be tested.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-latvia-missiles/russian-rocket-tests-force-partial-closing-of-baltic-sea-airspace-idUSKCN1HB1O3
Will Russia pay the countries affected for the economic losses?
LOL:) Of course not.

What if an accident occurs? Sooner or later it will happen.
Weird that the biggest country in the world "need" to test missiles VERY close to other nations some of them not even members of NATO, don't you think.

Here is the THREE zones where now both sea and air transports cannot use for three days.
None of them are in the Russian economical maritime zones.

Admiral Kuznetsov:)
Admiral Kuznetsov also has a sister ship, Varjag, which was not yet completed but later sold to China in 2001 and is now called Liaoning
btw. Varjag is the name of Viking-Scandinavians in the Slavic tribes:)

Why?
Because that little, nerve agent, poisoning, Putin, had Volodymyr Balukh jailed for daring to fly the #Ukrainian flag over his house.
His house is in Russian occupied #Crimea.

C*ka Bl*at!
As reported, Ukrainian farmer Balukh was arrested on December 8, 2016, in his house in the village of Serebrianka of Rozdolne district of Crimea temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation. Russian authorities charged him with possession of ammunition.
Crimea’s Rozdolne District Court sentenced Balukh to three years and seven months of imprisonment in a low-security penal colony and to a fine of 10,000 Russian rubles.

Possession of ammunition?
The police found some ammo outside his house.
His ammo or was it the police that planted it there?

Blin! Not only a war disaster in Eastern Ukraine. Now environmental disasters as well
Will parts of Donbas become a forbidden zone just like the forbidden zone in Chernobyl?

OSCE: Militants in Donbas want to flood coal mine, one of 1979 Soviet nuclear test sites
Monitors from the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine have reported the militants want to flood the Yunkom mine in the town of Bunhe, which is 43 kilometers north-east of the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk.
https://www.unian.info/war/10079696-osce-militants-in-donbas-want-to-flood-coal-mine-one-of-1979-soviet-nuclear-test-sites.html
"Staff at the Yunkom mine in Bunhe (former Yunokomunarivsk, non-government-controlled, 43km north-east of Donetsk) told the SMM that some of the mine's pumps would be shut off around April 14, and thus the mine would be gradually flooded. (In 1979, a nuclear device was reportedly detonated in a capsule inside the mine. Staff from the mine also told the SMM that it is not clear how possible leakages or increased pressure from the flooding of the mineshaft could threaten the integrity of the capsule)," the mission said in an update based on information received as of 19:30, April 11, 2018.
http://euromaidanpress.com/2018/04/05/occupation-authorities-to-flood-a-nuclear-test-site-in-donbas/
Deputy Minister for Affairs of Internally Displaced Persons Heorhii Tuka has commented on the plans to flood the “Yunkom” mine to Donbas.Realii, “For me, it was like a bolt from the blue. Because it’s a kind of suicide.”
“Repeatedly, we contacted the international organizations and they took part in attempts to solve this issue. Yet, like in the vast majority of cases, the key to success lies exclusively in the Kremlin,” told Tuka.
The deputy minister predicts that if drinking water will be poisoned, those local residents who remain in the occupied territory will mass-migrate to the free Ukrainian territory. “Roughly 150,000 a year,” assesses Tuka.

A group of 35 Ukrainian military seamen who left Crimea in 2014, signed an open letter to the president of Ukraine, in which they point to the unresolved issue of housing for them and their families. The military officers ask not to push them to return to Crimea and take Russian citizenship to solve the housing problem.

Hmm...
Earlier, the representative in Sovfed from the executive authority of Sevastopol, Valery Kulikov, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to solve the problem of providing housing for military pensioners who had been dismissed in reserve until 2014 in Sevastopol. This applies to military pensioners of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, dismissed in Sevastopol, as well as Ukrainian military retirees discharged to the reserve until March 2014.

Earlier, Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers announced that 1,300 families of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would receive the keys to new housing in 2018.

РИА Новости Украина: https://rian.com.ua/society/20180323/1033553552.html
So where is the keys?
Looks to me that Crimean officals are not to so keen to give away the keys...
And that the servicemen are not so keen to move back to Crimea.

Chernobyl in a nutshell

When one of my all time favourite computer games makes it into politics I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

By the way this game has nothing to do with Chernobyl and I fail to see the relevance. Whereas on the other had this one does.
