There are thugs on both sides killing people. "Frontline" had an interesting documentary on last night on Ukraine and pro- Russian activists said that they are being paid by Moscow.

I wouldn't consider these separatists "thugs." They're just normal people trying to defend their homeland and way of life.

Kiev though - as thugged out as you can get.

The power play rolls on, and the poor mundanes caught in the middle suffer the consequences.

Well, the new sock puppet that was just installed is going to sign the trade agreement with the EU so we'll see the economic hitmen making their moves. I think most of this was retaliation because they couldn't do so without a battle the first time around. Heh. GMO corn for everyone in Ukraine, it looks like, if these political gangbangers have their way. Among other things, I imagine. Will see. We still don't see the TPP discussed very much these days. That's disturbing itself.

The more relevant things to watch here would be the implemetation of in house and international finance clearing models of these other nations. Specifically the BRICS. Dollar is going to get rocked as a result of some of these mergers with gas/oil pipelines and, of course, in the agriculture department while competitive non-GMO nations jump on the same bandwagon. Those are two very huge and significant outliers that our enlightened ones in political office didn't give much attention when they were pushing their chests out for the we ask, you decide crowd a month or so ago.

Well...with the exception of the statesman, that is.... Ron Paul: Neocons are right to be scared about dollar diminishing and even he hasn't touched upon the clearing models and mechanisms but that may be out of his area of expertise. I don't know. I've mentioned elsewhere that gone are the days when he who controlled the seas and ports were the beneficiaries of reserve status. Nope. Now it's determined by who rules the ruins up there in space since finance clearing and trade of nations is done electronically. It is certainly no coincidence that we are seeing so many countries suddenly put tremendous amounts of funds into their space programs as well as merging with one another. U.S. is doing the same thing except under the guise of "cyber security". That's very interesting given what we know regarding the NSA and other intelligence spying on various nations.

The National Guard refuted reports that phosphorous ammunition was used against civilians in the south-east of the country, its press service said. Overnight Thursday the self-defense forces said that the village of Semyonovka had been shelled with fire-bombs. Reports in the local media asserted that the bombs might be phosphorous. Much of the village was set ablaze.

If confirmed, this will be the first case of fire-bombs being used in the conflict.

'White phosphorus' reports: Ukraine military 'dropped incendiary bombs' on Slavyansk (VIDEO)

Residents of Slavyansk and its suburbs were awoken overnight on Thursday by what they say were incendiary bombs that were dropped on their city by Kiev’s military. Witnesses and local media reports suggested that the bombs might be phosphorous.

Much of the village of Semyonovka, located in the Slavyansk suburbs, was set ablaze. Local residents told RT that the ground didn't stop burning for some time.

“We all saw what happened here yesterday. They used rocket launchers as well as incendiary bombs against us. The ground was on fire. How can the ground burn by itself. It burned for about forty minutes,” resident Roman Litvinov told RT over the phone.

“Starting from 2 a.m. everyone I’ve met has a sore throat and is coughing all the time. I think this is because of the burning. I think we’ll feel the true consequences later. There are still a lot of people here, a lot of children we haven’t managed to get out yet,” resident Tatyana told RT.

The use of incendiary bombs – designed to start fires using materials such as napalm, white phosphorus or other dangerous chemicals – is strictly prohibited by the UN.

Slavyansk, an industrial city in southeastern Ukraine with a population of over 100,000 people, has been a focal point of the government’s crackdown against the region. The city’s residential area has been under regular artillery fire for weeks.

“It does appear that there is at least a case to be argued that something similar, if not itself white phosphorous, was used overnight. I’ve seen the video, I’ve looked at it closely...[there are] whole signs, whole marks of white phosphorous use. For example, a very bright light burning and multiple burns coming down from the sky. It’s an airburst weapon that has been used, such as a mortar or a manned aircraft,”Charles Shoebridge, a former army officer, Scotland Yard detective, and counter-terrorism intelligence officer who has recently returned from Ukraine, told RT.

“White phosphorous cannot be put out with the use of water” and it will “burn through one’s body to the bone,”Shoebridge added. “If there is going to be large amounts used it can also be a poison – large amounts can be set to contaminate water supply.”

According to the video, “it’s very likely that white phosphorus" was used, Shoebridge added. “It’s very difficult to fabricate the video we saw combined with the evidence on the ground.”

Moscow demanded an immediate investigation into the reported use of incendiary bombs in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.

‘Bombardment never stops’: E. Ukrainian refugees share horrors of Kiev military op...

The humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine is increasingly desperate - thousands of people have fled to Russia from the bombings and artillery attacks. RT's Paul Scott talked to some of those who've uprooted their families to escape the violence.

“According to the Federal Migration Service, more than 40,000 Ukrainian citizens have crossed into Rostov Region. As of today, about 4,000 Ukrainians have been housed in temporary accommodation centers,” a local Russian Emergencies Ministry official, Aleksandr Naumov, told RT.

People from other regions of eastern Ukraine “are in fact fleeing because they know the story of Slavyansk,” another woman, who crossed to Russia with her two sons and cats, told RT.

“The [Ukrainian] National Guard is simply bombarding the people, killing children. We fear for our children above all, we want them to be alive and well,” she explained.

According to the woman, her Ukrainian-speaking neighbors do not understand her family and support Kiev’s military operation. Moreover, the Ukrainian authorities and media are outright “lying” about civilian corridors being organized for refugees, she said.

Meanwhile, ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich on Friday recorded a video address, in which he urged Kiev to stop the military operation.

Yanukovich, who was born in Donetsk Region, said people there are “shocked that instead of peace and stability [they got] a bloody massacre” right at the start of Poroshenko’s term.

“It is unbearable to see those deaths, this hatred incited in the not-so-long-ago peaceful country,” the ousted Ukrainian leader said. Yanukovich wondered why European leaders kept reminding him of the “unacceptability” of the use of force against civilians in the wake of mayhem in Kiev, but are now supporting the use of heavy artillery and jets against the population of eastern Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Minister on Friday held a phone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrey Deshchitsa, in which he reminded Kiev of its responsibility for handling the humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine.

“It is scary in this situation that the Ukrainian authorities, the Ukrainian media are lying about humanitarian corridors being organized – there is no such thing in reality. They are not letting the people leave, and the bombardments never stop. They don’t give a damn about us, the people of Donbas, Lugansk, they just need the territory,” the woman said.

Aside - Ukrainian APC with troops breaches Russian border

In response to the incident, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the “illegal act” will not promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The ministry has also demanded an end to “provocations” on the border, which are making dialogue between the two countries much more difficult. The ministry directed a note of protest to Kiev on Friday.

There are also reports that there was not one, but two armored vehicles. A source from the FSB told LifeNews Channel that two armored vehicles crossed the Russian border.

Earlier on Friday, NATO warned that if reports that Russian tanks have breached the Ukrainian border are confirmed, it would be serious escalation of the conflict.

Electronic war games blamed for jets vanishing off radars in Europe...

Electronic military exercises were to blame for the mysterious disappearance of dozens of planes from air-traffic control screens in the heart of Europe, Slovak authorities have said.

About 50 planes temporarily disappeared from radars in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia between June 5 and June 10, Austria's flight safety monitor said.

German and Czech air traffic control also reported brief disappearances.

Slovakia blamed the outages on planned military exercises.

"The disappearance of objects on radar screens was connected with a planned military exercise which took place in various parts of Europe...whose goal was the interruption of radio communication frequencies," the Slovak air traffic services said in a statement.

"This activity also caused the temporary disappearance of several targets on the radar display, while in the meantime the planes were in radio contact with air traffic controllers and continued in their flight normally.”

Right after the problem with the radars was detected, the organizing party was made aware and the exercises were stopped, Slovakia's air traffic services added.

Slovakia did not mention a military force involved in the exercises, but Austrian media pointed towards NATO.

10:45 GMT: The Ukrainian security forces have commenced artillery fire on Slavyansk, the representatives of self-defense forces told ITAR-TASS. A few residential buildings were hit, and also a school building, according to unconfirmed sources.

09:48 GMT: Self-defense forces in eastern Ukraine have allegedly downed another plane - a SU24. The pilot is alive and currently being taken for questioning, RIA Novosti reports. There were a total of two SUs that took part in the overnight bombarding of a local police station.

09:15 GMT: Kiev should not cover the crimes against its own people under a guise of a fight against terrorism, Russia said.

“Taking actions with a foreign blessing and support to suppress a protest movement, using troops and radical nationalists against civilians under the guise of a fight against terrorism, which is what is happening today in Ukraine, is absolutely unacceptable,” Russian presidential representative for international cooperation against terrorism and organized crime Aleksandr Zmeyevsky told a UN conference on Friday.

He warned that those responsible for crimes against their own people “will be held accountable by courts, the international community and their own conscience.”

The Russian official rejected accusations that Russia is fueling the violence in eastern Ukraine and is arming anti-Kiev militias there.

“The fantasies of Russia’s alleged role in escalating the tension are not based on anything. We reject the unfounded claims that Russia is interfering in Ukraine, sending troops and arms there,” he stated.

The comment came after the US accused Russia of supplying three tanks and some multiple rocket launchers to Ukrainian militias, which are defending against the constant attacks by the Ukrainian military.

Western countries in the United Nations Security Council have blocked Moscow's draft resolution condemning the attack on the Russian embassy in Kiev, a source in the UN says.

“Western delegations in the Security Council have blocked the Russian draft resolution condemning the attack on the embassy of the Russian federation in Kiev,” the source told RIA Novosti news agency.

Russia presented the proposal on Saturday after a few hundred people stormed its embassy in the Ukrainian capital, throwing stones and firecrackers and overturning diplomatic cars. A Molotov cocktail was pelted at the premises, causing a minor fire which was extinguished by firefighters. The demonstrators – among them members of the far-right group Right Sector – protested against Russia’s alleged involvement in the crisis in eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Didier Burkhalter, head of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), expressed concern over the incident and urged Ukrainian authorities to ensure the safety of all diplomatic missions.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the attack and demanded that Kiev provide security for Russian diplomats.

“Moscow is extremely outraged at the provocative actions of fascist-like thugs in Kiev against the Russian Embassy. Moscow demands the Ukrainian side take all necessary security measures to protect Russian diplomats in Kiev,” the statement said.

No such measures have yet been taken by Kiev, which is a “fragrant violation of Ukraine’s obligations,” the ministry said.

A nurse died in the city of Slavyansk after a Ukrainian military shell hit a local hospital on Saturday. Meanwhile, a Ruptly journalist came under fire while visiting a shelled maternity hospital in the eastern Ukrainian city.

The Ukrainian army resumed the shelling of Slavyansk on Saturday afternoon, causing more damage to the city and igniting fires, the local administration told RIA Novosti.

“In the afternoon the Ukrainian army shelled the center of Slavyansk, apparently trying to hit the self-defense forces. One of the shells hit the hospital. Two people were injured. One of them – a seriously injured nurse – passed away,” the source said.

All the patients and staff of the hospital took shelter in the basement when the shelling began.

In another incident, in Slavyansk. They were forced to hide in the hospital’s basement for about 20 minutes before coming out, but the shelling started again once they attempted to leave the building. The maternity hospital was evacuated a week ago.

“When we, a group of journalists, got information that a maternity hospital in the town center has been damaged we headed there, started recording interviews in the hospital’s yard, then entered the building and at that moment the new attack started,” he said.

“We ran into the basement and stayed there for 20 minutes. Then we left the building, but heard new shelling quite close and had to hide again. The building is quite seriously damaged, nearly all the windows are broken,” he added.
