The Ukrainian ambassador to the UN told Fox News he plans to submit a draft resolution asking the UN General Assembly to formally label “Russia as a sponsor of terrorism." Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev gave no timetable for when he would present the resolution to the UN. He said government officials in Kiev are working on the text. Sergeyev told Fox News the resolution will mirror the Ukrainian parliament’s declaration this week, designating the Moscow-backed separatists in East Ukraine as a terrorist group. Kiev believes that by defining the separatists as terrorists it eliminates any notion that it would engage in peace talks with them. Sergeyev warned of a “huge war” if the separatists take more territory or build a corridor to southern Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed almost a year ago. Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of backing the rebels with troops and weapons, which Russia denies. Meanwhile, artillery fire killed at least 12 civilians in the main rebel stronghold of Donetsk on Friday amid fierce fighting between pro-Russia separatists and government troops as hopes for a break in hostilities were dashed when an attempt to call a new round of peace talks failed. Five people were killed as they were waiting for humanitarian aid outside a community center and two people were killed in the same neighborhood when a mortar shell landed near a bus stop. By the time an Associated Press journalist arrived at the community center, the bodies were taken away. Nearby trees were cut down by what could have been a projectile. Five other people died Friday in sporadic artillery fire in the west of Donetsk. Full-blown fighting between the Russian-backed separatists and government forces erupted anew earlier this month following a period of relative tranquility. The USA asked for a BIG issue.
Ukraine wants the United Nations to brand Russia a terrorism sponsor amid bloody clashes between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government troops.

Nothing but veto-bait for Russia in the Security Council. You can't seriously bring any charge against the permanent members of the Security Council because they'll only veto it immediately. I saw a dozen Uke soldiers got killed today. The rebels are claiming they took a new city (or installation) whose name I didn't recognize. Kiev hotly denied that it (whatever it was) had fallen. If only Marguerite had migrated over here from LP, she would know.
My opinion is very simple on this international crisis: the USA inflamed the situation with European ally support with the removal of Yanukovich. American and EU taxpayers are going to pay for this international blunder concerning foreign policy.
Actually, the Poles/Brits/Germans came up with a plan for Yanukovych to serve out his term but do no more to alter the constitution and fundamental laws of Ukraine. Yanukovych and the other major players had all agreed to it. It appears that Nuland at State and the inept Ukrainian ambassador cooked up this coup. As a result, public confidence in elections in Ukraine has been undermined completely and led directly to this low-grade civil war in the east. Elections are supposed to have consequences. If you stage a coup, you simply undermine any public confidence that voting can ever change anything. The EUros did, however, follow our leads after we staged the coup at Maidan. So they are craven lackeys as they have often proved in other situations.

This is what drives me crazy about the reporting from Ukraine. You never get hard facts about much of anything. The AP reporter missed all the action but asserts "nearby trees" were cut down by something. A projectile? A chain saw? An angry beaver or two? It's not just this piece that is light on facts. It's 95% of them. Very annoying, considering it is a far less hostile place for reporters than Syria or some other Mideast hellholes.
on top of the $5 BILLION dollars already spent Published on Feb 9, 2014 (Note the Chevron Logo) American Conquest by Subversion: Victoria Nuland Admits Washington Has Spent $5 Billion to "Subvert Ukraine" After three visits to Ukraine in five weeks, Victoria Nuland explains that in the past two decades, the United States has spent five Billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) to subvert Ukraine, and assures her listeners that there are prominent businessmen and government officials who support the US project to tear Ukraine away from its historic relationship with Russia and into the US sphere of interest (via "Europe"). Victoria Nuland is the wife of Robert Kagan (the co-founder of the Project for a New American Century), leader of the younger generation of "neo-cons". After serving as Hillary Clinton's spokesperson, she is now undersecretary of state for Europe and Eurasia." Hear Victoria Nuland's very concise, almost victorious speech Here's Assistant Secretary of State Nuland chatting with the US Ambassador to Ukraine: "F*** the EU" Published on Feb 6, 2014 Cut-out of a phone call between two American fun guys talking about maidan's puppets. The actors are: Victoria Nuland: US-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and Geoffrey R. Pyatt: United States Ambassador to Ukraine *************** Delusional America — Paul Craig Roberts January 31, 2015 ...As I have written on a number of occasions, facts no longer play a role in American political life. Fact-based analysis is also disappearing from academic life and no longer plays a role in official economic reporting. A matrix has been created, an artificial reality that channels the energies and resources of the country into secret agendas that serve the interests of the ruling private interest groups and neoconservative ideology. The United States government and the American people cannot contend with reality, because they do not know what the reality is. In America’s make-believe world, neoconservative toadies such as New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, set the Group-Think tone, while knowledgeable experts such as Stephen Cohen are tuned out. In effect, America is both blind and deaf. It lives in delusions. Consequently, it will destroy itself and perhaps the world. ************************* US Trainers To Deploy To Ukraine WASHINGTON — American soldiers will deploy to Ukraine this spring to begin training four companies of the Ukrainian National Guard, the head of US Army Europe Lt. Gen Ben Hodges said during his first visit to Kiev on Wednesday...
