Ukraine civil war update - 07/21/2014

It is the middle of the night where I am, so I will post these items from Mark Sleboda.

It sounds like there is a vicious onslaught by the Ukies near the crash site


Update from Ukraine


The first and so far only qualified international inspectors to arrive in Eastern Ukraine - not at the crash site but at nearby Donetsk, just now this morning, are three members of a Dutch Victims Identification Unit who will be sorting the bodies of the victims



Three members of a Dutch Disaster Victims Identification team arrived in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Monday, the first international investigators to reach rebel-held territory since the airliner crashed last week


Confirmed reports, multiple sources on ground, #Ukraine regime forces new wave of attacking, shelling Donetsk outskirts near #MH17 crash site and refrigerated car w victims bodies at train station



Yatsenyuk announces that after 4 days, 31 "international experts" have just now now arrived in Kharkov which is at least closer to the MH7 crash site than Kiev. But these are all inspectors from NATO countries (23 Dutch, 2 German, 2 US, 1 UK, 3 reps of Australian embassy) - it seems that the Malaysian airlines inspectors and ICAO inspectors are still being held in Kiev, for some unfathomable reason.

Meanwhile 3 Dutch members of Victims Identification Unit have arrived in Donetsk, which is even closer to the crash site of course, and had intended to travel north to Torres where the victim's bodies are now being stored in refrigerated cars at the train station.

The problem is that the Ukraine regime forces have just begun a fierce renewed wave of attacks and shelling on Donetsk. It does not seem likely that the Western inspectors in either Kharkov or the few in Donetsk, nor the actual international inspectors still being held in Kiev will be able to reach the crash site while this exploitation of the tragedy for military gain continues. 

How fucking convenient.



Liow Tiong Lai added that only a group of specialists from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) managed to get to the site of the tragedy so far

Malaysia demands immediate and unhampered access of specialists to the passenger airliner’s crash site, Star newspaper has quoted Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai who is currently on a visit in Ukraine’s capital Kiev on Monday.

The Ukrainian government has stated that it has been unable to establish a safe corridor to the crash site for the international team… and it can't guarantee the safety of the international team in and around the crash site,”

Liow said. Kiev authorities assured the Malaysian minister that militias were fully in control of the airliner’s crash site. He added that only a group of specialists from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) managed to get to the site of the tragedy so far.

A group of 113 experts from Malaysia arrived to Kiev last Saturday. Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman is also expected to come to the Ukrainian capital to meet President Petro Poroshenko and Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak demanded earlier to bring the bodies of Malaysian air crash victims to homeland immediately. Two military transport airplanes S-130 Hercules will fly to Kuala-Lumpur for the purpose.

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777 passenger airliner on flight MH17 from the Dutch city of Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur crashed in east Ukraine’s Donetsk region on July 17. All 298 people abroad the airliner died in the air crash. The air carrier stated that citizens of Malaysia, the Netherlands, Australia, Indonesia, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, the Philippines, Canada and New Zealand are among casualties.

UK says will seek tougher Russia sanctions, if Moscow obstructs Boeing crash probe

Detectives are probing different versions of this tragedy, including the one under which the airliner had been downed by a surface-to-air missile.

This is already the second crash of Malaysia Airlines airplanes for the last five months. March 8, 2014, Boeing-777 with 239 people aboard en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from radar screens and is not found yet.
