Day 1239 War in Ukraine

Eleven years after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17), court has concluded that it was a Russian operation that brought it down.

Blogger looks at the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Basically, no one can spare any resources to do anything about the situation.

EU is insisting that Georgia uphold fundamental rights or lose their visa-free travel privileges. Georgia seems willing to lose that privilege.

Georgia government pursues legal offensive against opponents. Main critical media outlet shut down.

The problem with the presumption that the war in Ukraine will one day stop is that Putin and Russia have no intention of stopping and that if Ukraine stops fighting, it will cease to exist.

The US has committed to produce Patriot anti-aircraft/missile batteries, but it’s unclear when that will be.

Yuliia Svyrydenko confirmed as Ukraine’s new Prime Minister. And “Olha Stefanishyna will be Ukraine’s next ambassador to the US.”

Russia was in charge of the MH17 crash site. They loaded bodies from the crash onto refrigerated trucks so reporters could write about that. When the reporters left, the refrigeration was turned off.

Being fully aware of the whereabouts of Ukraine negotiator Keith Kellogg, Russians stop bombing Kyiv for as long as he’s there. Bombing continues unabated elsewhere.

The Russian Shchekinoazot chemical plant hit by drones.
