Won't be a problem With the Ruble crashing, and oil prices falling through the floor, Russia can't even afford to feed its own troops, and you expect them to give away food to Eastern Ukraine in an orderly fashion? Lol. I'm sure those import bans on food, causing food prices to skyrocket in Russia, will help make that more feasible. Those bitches are gonna starve. |

Ukraine has made it perfectly clear that they will NOT pay for any rebuilding of the "separatist" region.
Not a dime. Russia should have listened to Colin Powell... |

looks like the Milan talks were a disaster. View Quote Pretty much if you think Ukraine will be getting free gas from Russia. Putin repeated again that if Ukraine wants gas they are going to have to pay for it. If they don't have the cash (which they don't) EU should help pay. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-17/ukraine-signals-progress-in-russia-gas-talks-before-leaders-meet.html |

So Russia will have to pay food and reconstruction for their new wards in Crimea and Donbass, AND they won't be getting cash from Ukraine.
And their GNP is plummeting with the falling Ruble and massive drop of the price of oil. That Putin is a cagey one. |

Germany IS correct that it was a Buk, and that it was shot down by Russians. Germany is also correct about Russia faking the imagery used to claim otherwise. I think this bit about it being a Ukrainian Buk in seperatist hands - as opposed to a Russian Buk - is quite fascinating in light of one of how one of the Russian balls tossed had been the claim they knew there was a Ukrainian Buk in separatist territory. They were quite tight lipped about how they knew this, but were trying heavily to imply it was some Ukrainian attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the West and were really trying to get a Western intelligence agency to admit that was a possibility. Well, it all makes a lot more sense now. Of course the Russians would know it was a Ukrainian Buk, if they (or their agents) were the ones who controlled it. |

Looks like Ukraine will be paying 4.5 billion PLUS the cost of the next 5 months of gas to help rebuild the glorious people's independent socialist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.
But, more importantly, and as I noted a few weeks back, it's over for now. Deals will be signed, sanctions will be dropped, billions will trade hands. I know it's unsatisfying, to have a war end (pause?) like this, rather than a decisive finish, but Ukraine is probably eager to not freeze and starve over the winter, Russia is eager to have the sanctions dropped, and the EU doesn't give more than the appearance of a fuck as long as the gas flows. |

A distinction without a difference. Russia manufactured the whole movement so it doesn't matter who was actually at the helm of the Buk. The Russians are ultimately responsible regardless.
