    Don't know but today's report is a big one and very interesting. For those who say that NAF is not firing back, how about this snippet

    On 16 August in government-controlled Verkhnotoretske (22km north-north-east of Donetsk), the SMM followed up on information received from a Ukrainian Armed Forces officer of heavy shelling at their base 1km south-west of the village on 8 August. The SMM saw at least four 2m deep craters in the asphalt assessed to have been caused by special ammunition capable of penetrating bunkers.


    and this

    On the same day in government-controlled Andriivka (41km north-north-east of Mariupol), the SMM conducted crater analysis of eleven fresh craters caused by shelling on the previous day, according to information received from a resident. The SMM assessed that the impacts have been caused by 152mm artillery incoming from a north-easterly direction. Three residential houses were severely damaged and others slightly. The SMM was told by the residents that five civilians had been injured due to the shelling.

    Probably more like 100 soldiers murdered for refusing to fight, and reported as suicides.

    But sugardaddy doesn't have issues with approaching winter, unlike ho... quite a conundrum for ukrops is it?

    That looks about right. I'm sure it would appeal to the Ukrop's US-style macho instinct.

    OT: When I try to post links, there is a message saying something to the effect that new members cannot post links. How do I get link posting privileges?

    Just wait another couple of days, you'll be granted the privelage automatically.

    Thanks. I have been a member for more than 7 days (which someone else mentioned as a critical period). I have my browser set to clear cookies on exit. Will that have any effect on this?

    Good stuff, Lego. You can build all sorts using it and from a distance it is indistinguishable from the real mccoy.

    I suspect the Ukrops will go the Ikea route for their stuff.

    The US is developing a fine line in chutzpah. The have issued a demand that China withdraw its secret agents from America. Sure - but only after the US pulls its regime change scamsters from China.

    Cowboy's daughter wrote:Ukraine fails to secure debt write-off at US talks

    http://www.rt.com/news/312509-ukraine-debt-talks-california/

    The country’s GDP is expected to shrink 9 percent this year, with annual inflation expected to jump to 46 percent, the IMF has warned. The debt will hit 95 percent of GDP this year, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.

    I can't believe RT is spouting the 9% figure when Ukraine's GDP fell almost 18% year on year in the 1st quarter.
    To have a net fall of 9% in 2015 requires Ukraine's GDP to grow by 9% in the remaining 3 quarters.   That ain't
    gonna happen since the 2nd quarter will still be down compared to 2014:

    The Situation in the Ukraine. #19 - Page 40 RussiaUkraineGDP

    Note the lack of any turn-around trend in Ukraine's GDP drop.

    You're calculating it wrong.

    Don't take the quarterly figure as 'GDP has fallen by 18%', but rather 'GDP will fall by 18% this year if we have 3 more quarters like this one'.

    In other words, the GDP decline for Q1 was 18/4 = 4.5%
    Or rather 17.6/4 = 4.4% to be exact

    The GDP decline for Q2 BTW has already been published; 14.7%

    Shame its decline stopped accelerating  cheers

    But no matter. As long as the decline in the next 2 quarters averages out at at least 13.85%; we'd still end up with the Ukraine loosing 15% of its economy this year. Suits me.

    I don't understand your confusion. Year on year means what it says. The Ukrainian GDP in the 1st quarter of 2015
    was 17.6% smaller than in the 1st quarter of 2014. There is no factor 1/4 in this figure and my statement was
    correct. Look it up.

    Thanks. The issue seems to be resolved. I hope it survives my logout later this evening.
