The meeting of the two presidents of Ukraine and Romania ended with a sensational announcement. Peter Poroshenko said that he agreed with Klaus Johannis, who recently won the presidential elections in Romania, on coordination of actions in relation to Transnistria.

- Special attention was paid to developments in the Transnistrian region,  - Poroshenko said on Tuesday in Kiev at a joint press conference. And agreed to coordinate our actions in order
to facilitate the unfreezing of the conflict and to help independent sovereign Moldova to restore its territorial integrity and to reintegrate the Transnistrian region, - said Poroshenko.

A full-scale war with Russia may begin in April or May. Petro Poroshenko Block deputy Yuriy Lutsenko made this announcement on March 16 on the “Free Speech” TV station. He also emphasized the need to increase the fighting power of the UAF since, according to Lutsenko, there exists a real threat of a full-scale war.

There are far more threats to Ukraine than just that grey zone of the ATO,” Lutsenko said. “We are in danger of a full-scale military conflict which may be started by Russia at the end of April or May. Intelligence information and analysis indicate a large concentration of armored and mechanized forces, their support formations, and greater activity by the Russian intelligence and reconnaissance. This may be an indication that Putin, having failed at Plan A of separating the Russian-speaking part of the population and at Plan B of organizing a rebellion in Kiev, may launch Plan C of full-scale war,” Lutsenko concluded his paranoia-laden remarks.

J.Hawk’s Comment: The flip side of the coin is that Kiev, having failed at Plan A of retaining the loyalty of the Russian-speaking population and Plan B of ensuring economic growth (that rebellion in Kiev—who’s to say it won’t happen this or next year???), will resort to Plan C of provoking a larger war in order to justify internal repression and solicit/extort more aid from the West. In fact, of the two parties, Kiev’s incentives to launch a war are far greater.

Yushchenko advises Ukrainians to stock up on salt and matches

Ющенко посоветовал украинцам запастись солью и спичками






Translated from Russian by J.Hawk

Viktor Yushchenko advised Ukrainians to stock up on matches and salt since the IMF credit will not save the country’s economy.

He made that recommendation on the Shuster Live show on March 13.

Ukraine’s third president said that the IMF loan of $17.5 billion is unbelievably small.

The best sanction against Russia is help to Ukraine. Investments in the range of $200, $300, $400 billion. A Marshall Plan. How do we mobilize investors to come to Ukraine? They are not in business to do favors. We should offer our resources: bridges across the Dnepr, the Black Sea continental shelf, the Dnepr Riviera”, Yushchenko shared his thoughts.

I’m not talking about European countries. These figures are slightly larger than Ukraine annual balance of payments deficit. But all we got is a four-year credit. We’re like the Jew who haggles over eggs. We won’t even have enough money to make change,” Yushchenko concluded.

J.Hawk’s Comment: He is right, right, and wrong. Yes, the figure of $17.5 billion is laughably small. Yes, Ukraine has plenty of resources to offer. But what makes Yuschchenko think Western investment funds won’t get the Dnepr bridges, the continental shelf, the Dnepr Riviera, and much else besides, for fraction of the cost Yushchenko mentions? Ukraine is desperate, and desperate borrowers are the best borrowers of all, according to Western lenders. After all, if the investment doesn’t pan out, they can always sell all of that to…Russian billionaires…

Oh, one last thing. That little bit about Jews haggling over eggs? Use it on every Western politician you come across. They’ll LOVE IT. Trust me.
