In These New Times

I wonder whether they’ll still be shelling the Donbas during the elections, if they’re still in range that is. The regime and Ukraine are looking into the abyss as the anti-terrorist offensive turns into a disastrous rout of Ukrainian Army, National guard( mainly Right Sector) and sundry mercenaries and irregulars. And there are an awful lot of people, the coup d’etat backers in the West, who will go down with it. Whilst continuing to repeat unbased allegations against the Russians, the stupid and compromised European leadership will be frantically working behind the scenes to stabilise the situation, prevent the destabilisation of Europe and find an exit strategy. Above all, they will try to save their own knecks.
