    "У першому кварталі 2016 року фахівці ДП «Конотопський авіаремонтний завод «АВІАКОН», що входить до складу ДК «Укроборонпром», відремонтували та модернізували 14 вертольотів сімейства Мі.

    7 машин були відновлені для Міністерства оборони України, ще 7 – для іноземних замовників.

    «Головне завдання «Авіакону» – вчасний та якісний ремонт вертольотів для потреб збройних сил України. І він відмінно впорався із ним у 1 кварталі. Більше того – відновив техніку за іноземними контрактами», – зазначив Генеральний директор ДК «Укроборонпром» Роман Романов.

    Державне підприємство “АВІАКОН”, що входить до складу Державного концерну “Укроборонпром”, є унікальним за своїми виробничими та технологічними можливостями. Воно забезпечує капітально-відновлювальний ремонт та модернізацію вертольотів сімейства Мі."

    Basically says that АВІАКОН in first quartal of this year overhauled 7 Mil helicopters for Ministry of defence and 7 another for foreign contractor.

    Sending Savchenko back in exchange for better people is the next best thing after her execution which was unfortunately not going to happen.

    From the ebil mess

    Well, not much so far. She has been yelling obscenities for a few hours straight now, already picked fights with parts of the political establishment and Kievan media seems to be a bit dumbfounded. She also yelled that she needs to get hammered on vodka (or horilka, I suppose) now. Brilliant.

    The Rada sessions ahead will be extra entertaining. Or will they sneakily vote to have her removed, now that the "Free Savchenko" card has been played and she's become entirely useless, if not a liability?

    Do you really want Russian taxpayers to keep this bitch alive?

    Executing her would have just made her into a martyr, it's better to let her fade into irrelevance.

    This. Looks like she's already causing more trouble with her cancerous Nazism back home in the glorious fuherland of Ukraine than she ever could in Russia. If she goes back to the frontlines I'd say NAF will find her and kill her, no questions asked.

    Death penalty is verboten in Russia so it was never an option. (obsolete punishment, there are things way worse and lot longer lasting than execution, eg. Supermax)

    At first I thought releasing her was epically stupid move but after learning that she already made spectacle even before entering Rada, I think I might have idea where they are going with this....

    I bet they weren't really expecting her to ever come back when they gave her that parliament seat, did they? lol1

What if the pilot responsible for the attack on administration building in Lugansk is captured alive, what fate for him, swapped for some guy in SBU basement who is there for nothing more than being against Kiev regime?, great for that guy, but would that be justice?

    Justice has come to a couple of probable Aidar evil bastards just at the right time and by a good method.

    Over the past day, the UAF has suffered one of the biggest losses in Donbass for a while.

    Two militants of the infamous Ukrainian punitive battalion Aidar were killed. “To of ours have been killed from the old Aidar guard. Uncle Kolya (Rovensky) and Old Voron. Uncle Kolya already had the order for dismissal in hands. Moron was also supposed to go for demobilization,” the press-service of the unit reported. The militants died because of a mine.

    Also in the so-called ATO zone in Donbass yesterday night, soldiers from Kherson were killed. Their death was reported by the coordinator of the Ukrainian volunteer movement, Galina Umanets. According to her, Vladislav Haisuk, 21 years old, a resident of Tyaginka and a fighter of the UAF’s 28th brigade, as well as sniper #1603 of the first mechanized infantry platoon from Nizhny Serogoz were killed. “Two of our fighters from Kherson didn’t make it…They were killed near Avdeevka in the Donetsk region at 00:30. Called on 11.6.2015, only two weeks remained before the de-mobilization,” the volunteer coordinator reported.

    Yet another Ukrainian serviceman was killed in the Schastye district, part of the LPR captured by the UAF. This was stated by the press-service of the military-civil administration of occupied Lugansk.

    Thus, over the course of one day, May 22nd, at least 5 soldiers of UAF were killed and three were wounded. The speaker of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration on ATO questions, Colonel Andrey Lysenko, officially stated at a briefing on May 23rd reported only one death at Schastye and three wounded.

    Highly depends on fact from where the immigrants are. Moscow is one of the most diversified cities in the world, probably people from every single nation in the world live there. And i have never heard any of my friends saying anything bad about that.

    Also fix your capital letter use, you are making your education look very, very bad.

    At least 1,5 million and some estimates are close to 3 million, but all the figures are mostly based on the exodus that occured in summer 2014, but since then many returned to LDNR. Only a census would reveal the real figures.

    Since this mess started? Approximately 2.5 million, that's counting just over 1 million from Novorossiya. Many have not applied for residency and are living kind of in the shadows. In Krimu it is estimated that in excess of 0.5 million are located there as 'quests'.

    There is beginning a shit storm over remarks by Dmitry Peskov where he seems to agree with Poroshenko that Donbass can be returned to Ukraine if it is all "humanitarian". Some, including Gennady Dubovoi, are saying this is "the end". Normally I am in agreement with him and various others, but on this issue I believe Peskov is misunderstood and his words taken at face value without looking deeper. About a year ago Yurasumy had the idea, which I repeated here, of a "Novoukraina", and this was also misunderstood by certain faction. Remember that the official Kremlin position, which has not changed since the beginning of the war, is that Ukraine is needed as a united and friendly country. This, as so many other elements has also been misunderstood, mostly by those more "hardline" than me who see it as eventually leading to the dreaded "merge", but in the incorrect context of simply walking away from Donbass. I never believed this will ever happen, and what occured in September 2014 shows the reality of this, and re-enforced by Debaltsevo. Some are saying that Peskov is testing public reaction, and maybe there is an element of truth in this, but I would say that what he is saying, in diplomatic language and in line with Kremlin position, is that yes, there may be eventually a united Ukraine, but what is unsaid is that it would be a reformatted Ukraine, this, btw, is what Zakharchenko said more directly a week or so ago, and repeats on these various "Straight lines". I contend that Peskov and Zakharchenko are simply saying the same as Yurasumy did a year ago, no "merge", but a purge, and of the nazis and Washington stooges in Ukraine. This will be the "Novoukraina", purged of the clowns and shitheads, and so a "humanitarian" Ukraine.

    For myself, I do not think this is a viable outcome, it is too much using rose colored spectacles and I think Ukraine will not survive as a country as it was before maidan, and I mean as a legal entity with the pre 2014 borders. I believe a more realistic outcome is the one hinted at by Zakharchenko and Pushilin in recent days, that the idea of Novorossiya from Kharkov to Odessa still exists. We do not know what Putin wants, what he thinks, what he thinks is realistic, so we look at the chicken giblets, which are what those below him say, and try to guess. And while we all know Washington wants destruction of Russia, they know it is not possible, so the big question is what are their red lines in Ukraine, if any. They could see that it is hoplesss and simply walk away, or they could, while shouting and jumping, under the table accept a division of Ukraine with the territory known as Novorossiya becoming either a seperate state, or returned to Russia.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia insists that Ukraine’s patrons make Kiev fulfill the Minsk agreements, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Thursday.

    “Russia continues to insist that those who are patrons to the Kiev authorities nonetheless drop their worthless attempts to pressure us, and if they are actually interested in the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, they should get this from their clients in Kiev in the end,” Ryabkov said.
