Ukraine to see three waves of mobilization in 2015 - in January, April and June - Turchynov
22.12.2014

Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Turchynov has said that three waves of mobilization are planned for 2015 - in January, April and June.

"The first wave of mobilization, lasting 90 days, is being planned from January 20. The next wave, which is tentatively expected to begin from April, will last 60 days. And the third wave, also with a duration of 60 days, will begin from June," he said after a council meeting in Kyiv on Saturday.

According to Turchynov, in 2015, everyone who does not want to sign a contract for further service will gradually retire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"At the same time, three waves of mobilization are being planned in 2015, because we cannot leave the army without the military," he said.

According to him, during the three waves of mobilization it will be necessary to provide personnel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Service.

In such things what matters is the establishment. Russian Federation soldiers are already stationed in Belarus, Armenia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Tajikistan, Transnistria, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan

Nazarbayev urges Russia, Ukraine to reach compromise over Donbas
22.12.2014

Kazakhstan has pledged to support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and called for a peaceful settlement of the Donbas conflict.

"I am asking Russia and Ukraine to think about a compromise in order to end this conflict and preserve the territorial integrity of Ukraine, because this situation [the Donbas conflict] is nonsense and it should not have happened," Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said after his negotiations with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on Monday.

He said the confrontation and sanctions "were a road to an impasse and a path to nowhere."

The Ukrainian and Kazakh presidents confirmed the importance of the Minsk agreements for the peace process.

News for Nazarbayev, after what happened this year, there can be peace in Ukraine only if Donbas becomes a sovereign country.

I don't think that Ukraine wants that. Ukraine will try to get back Donbas and even Crimea.

Luhansk governor reports intensive shelling of Luhansk by militants
23.12.2014

The head of the Luhansk regional state administration, Hennadiy Moskal, has accused militants of increasing shell attacks on the Luhansk region.

"Terrorists again increased aggression against Luhansk region's territory, controlled by the Ukrainian forces. They carried out 11 strikes with mortars, automatic grenades, cannons, anti-tank guided missiles and small arms [8 such incidents on Sunday to compare]," said Moskal's press service on Tuesday.

Krymske, Schastia, Chornukhyne and Stanytsia Luhanska came under fire over the past 24 hours.

There were no fatalities or injuries among Ukrainian troops.

Luhansk’s governor said that in the night militants began to move military equipment from the frontline close to Luhansk. "Today in the morning, at nearly 0900, the outskirts of Krymske were fired on with automatic weapons," he said.

The situation is relatively calm in Stanytsia Luhanska, Moskal said.

Ukrainian parliament scraps Ukraine’s non-aligned status : UNIAN news

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Tuesday approved a draft law on Ukraine’s abandoning its non-alignment policy, an UNIAN correspondent in parliament reports.

As previously reported by the presidential press service, the draft law is aimed at “providing an additional mechanism for ensuring the sovereignty, territorial integrity and protection of the independence of Ukraine.”

"The non-aligned status of Ukraine, which was enshrined in the Law of Ukraine ‘On the basis of domestic and foreign policy’ has proved to be ineffective in the context of state security from external aggression and pressure,” read the explanatory note to the draft bill.

“Ukraine's prolonged presence in a 'gray' buffer zone between powerful systems of collective defense is an additional challenge to Ukraine."

The Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law ‘On the principles of domestic and foreign policy’, on July 1, 2010. The law established the principle of non-alignment, envisaging the non-participation of Ukraine in any military and political alliances, and in particular its non-membership of NATO.

Since Russia’s invasion and annexation of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea in March, public support in the country for Ukraine’s joining NATO has risen from 20-25% then, to over 50% now.


So Ukraine is moving towards NATO membership

There is no Novorossiya. Crimea is annexxed and some regions i can say like districts are under control of seperatists who are backed by Russian Federation.
