Ukraine v Russia Now Playing Out in History Books

Andrew Kramer, Ukraine Separatists Rewrite History of 1930s Famine. Seems to be a lot of this going on in Russia and now in the Russian-supported war in Ukraine.

All Quiet in Eastern Ukraine?

Real or imagined that the "ceasefire" is still kind of a ceasefire and continuing in the region.

Ukraine v. Russia

Since I usually check out the yahoo homepage a couple of times a day, it has been interesting to note recently how many news items there have been about the conflict in the eastern region of Ukraine. Daily, there are links to stories from all sorts of different news sites, some more reliable, than others, and what I find especially paradoxical about this is that while there is all this coverage, there is very little interest in the conflict from the American public, and there has been no real effort on the part of the US government, NATO or the European Union to get physically involved with support for the Ukraine government.

Ukraine and Russia November

Parliamentary elections have been held in Ukraine, with the exception of some of the eastern territories where elections were not possible, with a generally Western-oriented complexion to parliament having emerged.

It is clear that the cease-fire is a cease fire in name only. Russia's claims that it is not intervening in Ukraine with troops and equipment is just that a claim, but not a statement that has any truth to it. The photographic evidence is pretty clear that Russia is pouring heavy weaponry and troops into Ukraine. Not sure how those troops feel about embarking on war with Ukraine.

NATO, the UN, Europe and the United States seem paralyzed about how to deal with the Putin government after enacting a mixed bag of financial restrictions.

Ukraine and Russia

The presidential election has taken place in Ukraine, and there is a duly-elected president now.  Civil unrest continues in the east; and no one is sure what Putin is up to, except Putin himself, and why do Russians have to call their brothers in Ukraine "fascists"?  And where to rebels in eastern Ukraine go to buy anti-aircraft batteries? It is all very confusing.
