Kiev will pay about the time you see The Dark Lord driving a Kenworth with a Meyers snow blade on the front through 3 meter drifts in his 'kingdom'.

However, this does say reams about the thoughts of UK in particular and eu in general in regards to Kiev, IOW looks like they've had enough.

The ukes are dreaming. Reality is I have few doubts that IMF will give them another billion in early April. If they don't then the days of Ukeland are numbered for sure. No money means no power, pure and simple. Not that a kopek goes to the people but Poroshenko has to buy his allies.

Nazis placed on power in Ukraine will get their bin $ from IMF thats for sure. But it wont matter.

The IMF loans will have lots of strings attached... the usual is that the condition for the loans is the ability for international companies to go in and buy up state owned assets on the cheap... when big business owns the Ukraine then they will find they cannot pay back loans and so the primary countries in control of the IMF can then directly control Kiev...

They can have all the NATO or US bases they want etc etc all the CIA listening stations etc etc.

The IMF bank is a 5th column front that can only lead to loss of sovereignty.

It is the opposite of a bringer of peace and democracy... a tool of colonialism.

Radicals threaten to terminate operation of Russian banks in Ukraine from April 10

Since January, Ukrainian radicals have declared a "war" to the affiliated branches of Russian banks in Ukraine

KIEV, April 6. /TASS/. Ukrainian radicals said that due to inaction of the authorities, they will independently stop the activities of the Russian banks in the country from April 10.

"We, Ukrainian nationalists, have decided to take the initiative in our own hands and stop the activities of these banks (Russian) on the territory of our state," the statement of the National Corps organization said.

Such a decision was made due to the absence of "real and effective actions of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) with regard to the activities of the Russian banks."

"Due to the fact that the NBU did not listen to the demands of Ukrainian nationalists to revoke the licenses of Russian banks, we will close them ourselves," the organization's website notes.

Since January, Ukrainian radicals, members of the National Corps nationalist party have declared a "war" to the affiliated branches of Russian banks in Ukraine, demanding that the authorities should withdraw their licenses of those banks adopt a law banning their operation in Ukraine.

On March 16, Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko imposed sanctions against five banks with Russian state capital operating on the Ukrainian market. Restrictions were introduced against Sberbank, VS Bank, Prominvestbank, VTB Bank and BM Bank for one-year period.

After that the radicals suspended their campaign to give Ukrainian citizens time to take their money from those banks.

It is known that Russian banks with state capital are now in talks on selling their Ukrainian subsidiaries. In particular, on March 27, Sberbank announced the sale of 100% in the subsidiary PJSC "Sberbank" (Ukraine) to a consortium with the participation of a Latvian bank and a Belarusian company.

....
a retroactive revision of prices, and that Gazprom compensate Naftogaz for sums it allegedly overpaid.

....

Are they freakin serious? They put this on paper and went official with it? In what universe does this work?

This sounds like something 6 year old would suggest. Was there ever a case where something like this flew, Opium Wars notwithstanding?

In a european court where the defendant is up against Russia almost anything will fly... sadly for the courts there...

Ukraine denies entry for Russian boxing team members at European Championship

The 2017 EUBC European Boxing Championship will be held in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov between June 16 and 26

We were denied to enter the territory of Ukraine because we had previously paid visits to Crimea," Romanova said in an interview with TASS. "As of now, a total of eight people, including boxer Kushitashvili, will be sent back to Russia."

Umar Kremlev, the president of the Russian Boxing Federation, told TASS earlier that the Ukrainian organizers of the European boxing tournament had initially provided the Russian delegation with all necessary guarantees regarding security and Russia’s participation in the event.

"The Ukrainian side is discrediting itself," Kremlev told TASS. "We see no reasons why our delegation should be treated this way and still have no official response from Ukraine."

Ukraine Admits to a Fake Story About Anti-Russian Journalist's Killing "to save his life."

It is OK for them to lie for a cause.

Not the first time this took place.

More fairy tales about the UPA? Should anyone still believe these liars? They like to make themselves look good, and their victims look bad.

Ukrainian president signs law terminating Friendship Treaty with Russia

The parliament upheld the president’s decision not to extend the Treaty on December 6

KIEV, December 10. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has signed a law terminating the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership with Russia, as he himself wrote on Twitter.

On December 6, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada (parliament) upheld the president’s decision not to extend the Treaty.

On September 24, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry notified the Russian Foreign Ministry that the document would be terminated on April 1, 2019.

Meanwhile, Poroshenko wrote on Facebook that the decision "not to extend the Treaty on Friendship and Cooperation between Ukraine and Russia should be considered not just as an episode but as part of our strategy to finally break with our colonial past and pivot towards Europe." According to the Ukrainian president, "visa-free travels, the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement and a tomos of autocephaly for the Ukrainian Church are also part of this strategy, as well as the country’s withdrawal from the CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States], the decision to enshrine Ukraine’s plans to join NATO and the EU in the Constitution, the creation of a strong professional army and the support of the Ukrainian language."

At the same time, Poroshenko has ordered the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry to complete an inventory of agreements with Russia. "We will continue to assess the utility of those agreements," the Ukrainian president pointed out. He also instructed the government to take immediate steps to establish an inter-agency coordination body "to work on a comprehensive claim concerning the damage caused by Russia’s military aggression."

Poroshenko stressed that the Treaty on Friendship with Russia had not been terminated earlier so that the country could "take advantage of its provisions to prepare numerous lawsuits to be filed with international courts."

According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, there are more than 300 Ukrainian-Russian agreements and other documents.
Treaty on Friendship

Russia and Ukraine signed the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership in May 1997. The document, which entered into force in April 1999 for a term of ten years, could be automatically extended for ten-year periods provided the parties did not object. The document enshrines strategic partnership between the two countries and mutual obligations not to use one’s territory to harm the other’s security, as well as recognizes the inviolability of existing borders.

In October 2018, the period expired for the parties to announce their plans either to extend the treaty for another ten-year term or denounce the document. Ukraine chose to do the latter.
