Heh. American military commandment in Europe comes to visit Ukrainian soldiers. To lift up their spirit I guess. Not enough of damn "Easterners" is killed I assume, not enough of them are run off from the country.

To me, this war is at a stalemate. The best way out is to negotiate.

After Kiev dismissed Mr Yakimenko’s testimony, a leaked recording of a conversation between the head of the European Union’s diplomatic service, Baroness Ashton, and Estonia’s foreign minister, Urmas Paet, appeared to confirm it. “There is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers – it was not Yanukovych, it was somebody from the new [ruling] coalition,” Mr Paet told Baroness Ashton, citing evidence that “there were the same snipers killing people from both sides.”

This version, in Mr Paet’s words, was confirmed by the fact that policemen and protesters were killed “by the same kind of bullets” and that “the new coalition does not want to investigate” this evidence.

After the events on Maidan, many of the Berkut police left for the mainly Russian-speakng east and south of Ukraine, where they were hailed as heroes for defending an elected president. The new authorities in Kiev formally disbanded the Berkut on February 25, saying that officers had “discredited themselves completely before the people”.

The conversation was later confirmed by the foreign minister.

Even if the war ends, there are many problems left in Ukraine to fix.

The economy is so heavily dependent on agriculture. When those farms are aggregated, a lot of people are going to be out of work, perhaps 20 percentage points of the 25% or so currently working in the sector.

And if you do not understand why they are fighting, then watch this video (viewed from the 9th minute). This is Kharkiv, Ukraine. January 12. Donetsk's people do not want to live in a country, where the police afraid of young people in masks.

Of course basically the entire world supports the Ukranian soldiers. They are defending their homeland from a foreign invasion.
