Has Russian gained permission for an alliance of forces with the Ukraine government to end the violence along it's border with Ukraine? If not that would be considered a violation of a sovereign border. I suppose Russia just laughs at those sort of things these days, yes?
KIEV, July 23 (RIA Novosti) – Ukraine (click here) plans to impose sanctions against Russians who in Kiev’s opinion directly or indirectly support separatists and terrorists, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Wednesday....
Here today, gone tomorrow.
Getting ready for November elections I take it? It is a regression to aggression and violations of treaties and strong arming those that cannot maintain their borders against Russian forces. It sounds like Yugoslavia all over again.
Here we go, Russia is blaming the victim for the deaths of the Malaysian Airline 17 deaths. Amazing. Evidently, Ukraine did not follow the rules for jets as outlined by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

KIEV, July 24 (RIA Novosti) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk (click here) announced his resignation Thursday following the collapse of the ruling European Choice parliamentary coalition.
“If no new coalition is formed and the existing coalition in a parliamentary-presidential republic had collapsed, the government and the prime minister have to resign. I announce my resignation because of the coalition’s collapse,” he said.
Yatsenyuk also expressed disappointment with Ukrainian parliament’s decision to reject a bill that allows the government to hand over up to 49 percent of the country’s gas transport system to investors from the European Union and the United States....
Volodymyr Groysman is stated to be unaffiliated with any political party. I suppose that might mean he isn't an insult to Russia and might even last longer than 24 hours in the office of Prime Minister.
I am sure I don't have to state this, but, will anyway. Some of the reports coming from the investigators indicates the victims of the crash are not necessarily intact. That is something, unfortunately, the forensic specialists working at Ground Zero in NYC became familiar with and developed their own methods. I would expect the forensic experts in all countries receiving victims will be using every effort to detect DNA as well as any identifying characteristics. It is a sorry day when experts from September 11th would be called upon to help understand the task at hand, but, here we are anyway.Volodymyr Groysman is stated to be unaffiliated with any political party.

MOSCOW, July 24 (RIA Novosti) - Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman was appointed Thursday as acting prime minister following the resignation of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in his Facebook blog.
“Volodymyr Groysman was appointed acting prime minister at a government meeting,” Avakov said.
Yatsenyuk announced his resignation earlier on Thursday following the collapse of the ruling European Choice coalition in the Ukrainian parliament.
According to Ukrainian constitution, the resignation of Prime Minister must be approved by the parliament. Earlier Thursday, Ukraine’s Svoboda and UDAR parties announced their factions were quitting the majority coalition, paving the way for the dissolution of parliament.
Deputy Prime Minister Groysman, who will now replace Yatsenyuk, also heads the state committee on investigation of the recent Malaysian Boeing plane crash in eastern Ukraine.

...Ukraine (click here) ratified the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation in 2003, which automatically classifies Ukraine as a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with all the associated legal obligations applicable upon signing.
An amendment to the Chicago Convention, the so-called Article 3bis, obliges the signatories to “refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight,” as such behavior goes out of line with the standards and norms regulating cross-country interactions. Hence, no country can use ongoing military confrontation on its territory as a right to attack a commercial plane or other types of civil aircraft.
Additionally, the ICAO clearly defines in its Manual Concerning Safety Measures Relating to Military Activities Potentially Hazardous to Civil Aircraft Operations, that “the responsibility for initiating the co-ordination process rests with the States whose military forces are engaged in the conflict,” pursuant to Paragraph 10.2 of the respective international agreement. In other words, safe passage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 through Ukrainian airspace should have been coordinated well in advance, as stipulated in the manual....
I suppose the separatists never ratified the ICAO Chicago Conventions so therefore they are innocent. It is sort of a Syria thing, right? Not a member of the Chemical Weapons Conventions therefore the deaths it caused were legal. One of those technical things the separatists simply didn't get around to yet.
Ya know, Vladimir, I'll tell you something. You want to be taken so seriously in international venues, but, you conduct yourself as a third world power. Russia needs to insist when it engages in alliances known and unknown they are subscribing to the SAME conventions Russia subscribes to. Got that?
When Russia backs illegitimate entities in the world such as the Ukraine separatists, it is violating the very conventions it subscribes as much as those that are illegitimate.
It is as though Russia is violating it's own conventions by proxy. Understand? It means Putin sits on a thrown untouched while his minions carry out atrocities.
