Dzobak Volodymyr Dzobak Volodymyr РОЗДУМИ ПРО НАДВАЖЛИВЕ або ЧОМУ НАШІ ОЛІГАРХИ СТАЛИ МОГИЛЬЩИКАМИ НИНІШНЬОЇ УКРАЇНИ

Головним інструментом нинішніх олігархів є безправний люмпен, який живе на подачках від держави, на грані фізичного виживання. Ось чому значна частина пенсіонерів є найкращим їх електоратом, який і допомагає часто приводити до влади їх ставлеників. Для малого і середнього бізнесу сьогодні закриті економічні ліфти у цілих галузях економіки, бо з кожним роком сфери зацікавленості олігархії збільшуються, перекриваючи кисень усім іншим.

that have happened in Ukraine today

 

 

Donetsk militants return Ukraine 12 hostages

Twelve Ukrainian military have been freed from militant captivity, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

In turn, a Ukrainian presidential envoy for the peaceful settlement of the Donbas conflict and Ukrainian representative of the humanitarian subgroup within the trilateral contact group, MP Iryna Gerashchenko, said that among those freed from captivity there had been Ukrainian service members who had fought in the Ilovaysk battle and been captured by gunmen; they had spent in rebel captivity a year.

"One of those released wants to stay with his family in Gorlovka. Eleven soldiers will arrive in the government -controlled territory of Ukraine in a few minutes. Months of intense negotiations, the last round of which took place in Minsk and the Donetsk region yesterday, have ended successfully. The negotiations in Minsk weren't easy. But it was even harder for our colleagues – civil volunteers engaged in the process of freeing, - for they came under attack yesterday," Gerashchenko said.

Gerashchenko thanked all parties involved in the exchange of POWs.

may be initiated on September 8

The document about the withdrawal of under 100-mm weapons in Donbass can be initiated at the next meeting of the contact group scheduled for September 8, Interfax-Ukraine reports with a reference to its source.

"Even if the subgroup for security prepares a compromise version of this document, it can be initiated no earlier than September 8 at best," the source said.

Currently, participants of the working subgroup for security are carrying on working in Minsk.

"Negotiations of the working group on security continue in Minsk," the Foreign Ministry of Belarus posted on Twitter.

A source participating in the negotiations told Interfax earlier that the subgroup for security may continue its work on Thursday.

More than 100 trucks have delivered over 1,100 tons of humanitarian aid, including 500 tons of foodstuffs and 700 tons of textbooks and furniture for local schools, the ministry’s press service told TASS on Thursday.

"All vehicles carrying humanitarian cargo have arrived in Donetsk and Lugansk," a spokesman for the ministry said.
