Shift in Donetsk: While locals used to openly express support for the separatists, I heard no praise for the rebels this time. …

A shopkeeper confided that she and all her acquaintances were impatiently awaiting the Ukrainian Army. A taxi driver railed that the anarchy was a bonanza for criminal gangs….It wouldn’t be correct to call the current fighting a civil war because of the ambiguous, outsize role Russia has played.

Ukrainian theater director Pavel Yurov and artist Denis Grishchuk are recovering in Kyiv after being held hostage for more than two months by pro-Russian separatists in the country’s restive east. Both are undergoing psychological treatment. Yurov is preparing to have surgery for a broken nose.

Artillery from Russia to the south, Mercenaries to the north.

The Army recruiting system in Eastern / Southern Ukraine isn’t work. There’s growing resentment from Western / Central Ukrainians who have been getting and answering a call to duty. Some people are getting angry — mostly wives and mothers. They are insulted by the arrival of refugees while their own boys go off to war. Russian elements are probably exploiting this tension, though I don’t think it’ll become a factor.

There was a statement from the go’vt that refugess will also get the call to duty soon.

It is true. Unfortunately.

Russian mercenaries tell their story:

I expect many libertarians to be appalled by this decision because nationalizing industries is a good thing . . . when Russia does it. Amirite?
