Russian Humanitarian Convoy Enters Ukraine Without Authorization; Ukraine Considers Move "Direct Invasion"
Update 3: Ukraine's president speaks:
- UKRAINE CONCERNED OVER RUSSIAN AID CONVOY INTRUSION: POROSHENKO
- UKRAINE SEEKS TO AVOID ‘HEAVIER CONSEQUENCES’: POROSHENKO
And yet the locals seem happy:
Update 2: All trucks are now in Ukraine:
All the trucks have crossed the border and are now in Ukraine. We are back in Russia.
— Andrew Roth (@ARothNYT) August 22, 2014
Update: the farce is complete, although at least this time it didn't take Ukraine several hours to fabricate then unfabricate its plot line, because literally minutes after it accused Russia of invading, Ukraine's foreign minister said the convoy was "allowed" to avoid provocations. He added that the rebel militants are using mortars on the convoy route and that it had taken all necessary steps to ensure cargo safety but that Russia wouldn't discuss security for the convoy. Nonetheless it still accused Russia's convoy of breaking international law and said that convoy would go to separatists, not civilians, and called on its "international partners" (we suppose it means the CIA here, which apparently is feeding it this ridiculous script) to condemn the Russian convoy.
From Bloomberg:
- UKRAINE SAYS ALLOWED RUSSIAN CONVOY IN TO AVOID PROVOCATIONS
- NALYVAYCHENKO SAYS WILL GO TO SEPARATISTS, NOT CIVILIANS: IFX
- UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIA WOULDN’T DISCUSS SECURITY FOR CONVOY
- UKRAINE SAYS IT TOOK ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE CARGO SAFETY
- UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIAN CONVOY IS BREAKING INTERNATIONAL LAW
- UKRAINE HAS CONCERNS OVER CONTENTS OF UNCHECKED RUSSIAN TRUCKS
Finally:
- UKRAINE WILL NOT USE ANY FORCE AGAINST RUSSIAN AID CONVOY, WISHES TO AVOID "PROVOCATIONS" - UKRAINIAN STATE SECURITY CHIEF NALIVAYCHENKO
Translation: it will accuse "rebels" of a direct attack on the Russian convoy when it happens, blaming Russia for trying to stage an attack so Russia has a provocation pretext to really invade, as opposed to the fake "invasion" Ukraine accused Russia of just moments ago.
In other words, the "MH17 scenario" is now in play, with the question not so much if and who "provokes" the Russian convoy in the coming days, but how Russia will react to it. It appears that contrary to expectations, today will be another trading session in which the main catalyst will be not Jackson Hole but Ukraine once again, as algos react, in an already illiquid market, with extended momentum to each and every contradictory headline.
Finally, with a scenario evolving in such a farcical and chaotic fashion, one wonders if John Kerry somehow managed to sail his sailboat into Kiev and is currently giving the Ukraine government the play by play.
Here we go again. Precisely a week after the fabricated headlines last Friday that Ukraine had blown up Russian military vehicles in Ukraine territory, "news" which promptly was forgotten when Russia denied and Ukraine couldn't produce any proof of said attack, now it is time for the real "humanitarian" convoy to become the topic du jour, and so it did a few hours ago when some 90 trucks from the convoy were said to have entered Ukraine territory, a move which Ukraine promptly denounced as a direct invasion.
A clip of the Russian trucks entering Ukraine via AP:
The reason for the convoy movement came overnight when the Russian Foreign Ministry said Ukraine seems to be seeking military victory by country’s independence day, "deliberately" delaying delivery of humanitarian aid. Russia added that is sees no reason to delay further, and the aid convoy starts moving toward Luhansk. "We warn against any attempts to halt solely humanitarian mission" that was prepared transparently with cooperation from Ukraine, Red Cross, ministry says.
RT adds that Russia said it had met all imaginable and unimaginable demands, including handing exhaustive lists of cargo details to the Red Cross, and that Kiev was inventing new pretexts each day for delaying humanitarian convoy, while the Red Cross reportedly said it was frustrated with Kiev in letting the convoy into Ukraine. That said, because it could not obtain security assurances, the Red Cross would not accompany the Russian convoy.
It is this perhaps why moments ago, Interfax (the Ukraine version that is) blasted the following headline via Bloomberg:
- UKRAINE SEES RUSSIAN AID CONVOY AS INVASION: INTERFAX
With the head of security council Nalyvaychenko cited as the source. Additionally Ukraine speaker Lysenko added that Russia aid convoy ignored agreement on cargo processing.
This promptly resulted in a drop in S&P 500 futures fall 0.3% to 1983.40, Stoxx Europe 600 falls 0.6% to session low after the Interfax report that Ukraine sees Russian aid convoy as invasion.
Expect much more disinformation out of Ukraine over the next few. hours as last Friday plays out once again.
Here is Reuters with the full report:
Ukraine declared on Friday that Russia had launched a "direct invasion" of its territory after Moscow sent a convoy of aid trucks across the border into eastern Ukraine where pro-Russian rebels are fighting government forces.
Moscow, which has thousands of troops close on the Russian side of the border, warned against any attempt to "disrupt" the convoy but did not specify what action it was prepared to take if Kiev's forces intervened.
Kiev, for its part, said Ukrainian forces would not attack the convoy and had allowed it to pass to avoid "provocations".
"Ukraine will liaise with the International Committee of the Red Cross so that we, Ukraine, are not involved in provocations (accusations) that we have been holding up or using force against the vehicles of so-called aid," he told journalists.

No, q99x, Backdoor Barry Takes It from behind!
Would someone go ahead and drop a bomb already.... this pussy footin around is nonsense!!
We should decide NOT to play this game.
Get real, PTB. WE are on to this horseshit.
I have said a million times that Putin is no angel and Russia is no paradise but if the world is not convinced of the dishonesty, deceit and evil of the Kiev government then we are truly in a sad situation which is bereft of any hope.
By the way, is anyone keeping a list of the lies told by Ukraine which have subsequently been exposed for what they are?
I was but my calculator overloaded....OK, that was a lie, but I'm owning up and thats something the retards in Kiev will never do.
When someone's credibility goes to zero you don't waste time keeping lists of lies, just liars. It's easy after that, everything the liar says is a lie.
It's easy after that, everything the liar says is a lie...
That's not always the case. It's just once trust is broken, everything a proven liar says in the future will be discounted and requires substantiation well beyond normal reason. Usually, no one wants to spend the time and effort to research the veracity of such a person / organization and consequently they become so far marginalized as to be virtually irrelevant.
But as you insinuate, this is not necessarily a bad thing, it just proves not all prejudices are without merit. They're terrific labor saving devices when used properly.
Jmo.

How many Ukranian government officials does it take to screw in a light bulb.
1 to change the lightbulb and
53 to tell their stories about how light bulbs are so much brighter in Kiev.
I thought Goebbels was dead. From the Ukraine press releases, seems like he's running the show.
Goebbels is being channeled by ReichsFuehrer Nudelman, who then passes on orders to the Kiev puppets.
vlad is takin' porky and kerry, et al, to school.
Liberal Democrats demand dismantling McDonald's sign in central Moscow
MOSCOW, August 22. /ITAR-TASS/. Activists of Russia's Liberal Democratic Party urged Moscow authorities on Friday to dismantle the sign on the McDonald's restaurant in central Moscow as Rospotrebnadzor, a consumer rights watchdog, launched sweeping checks of US-run fast food outlets.
"Why should they teach us how to cook pies?" said LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky in support of the drive against US fast food. He addressed several dozen LDPR activists gathered in front of the country's first McDonald's restaurant in Novopushkinskaya Square to mark Day of the State Flag. Rally participants held posters protesting the presence of US fast food on the Russian market and calling for re-adopting the black-yellow-white flag of the Russian empire.
Russia to the west "Dinner is served. Chocolate covered jewish porkchops anyone?"
The US goal here is not necessarily a war with Russia, or to provoke a Russian invasion. That would work, as it would probably force the EU into a confrontation, and that would weaken 2 potential rivals to US global dominance. But a long-running, low-intensity guerilla war would serve as well. By now it's pretty apparent the Western Ukrainian Nazis and the Eastern Ukrainian cultural Russians aren't going to be able to play house nicely. The US supports people like the Ukie Nazis, ISIL, Boko Haram, the Libyan jihadists etc. because they can't ever surrender and there's no atrocity they won't commit. A smoldering dumpster fire on Russia's border, in country Russia has needed as a buffer zone for a millenium advances the Brzezinski/Wolfowiitz strategy of driving wedges between potential rivals, putting pressure on energy distribution routes and keeping Russia preoccupied, adding stress and tension leading to the ultimate goal of breaking up Russia into various weak, dependent, feuding and easily manipulated smaller countries. If the US and our selected cat's-paws appeaar to be feckless morons, so much the better.
a long-running, low-intensity guerilla war would serve as well.

I hope it's all filmed, every inch of the way, through and through. If the Nazi Kiev scum tries anything, let it be on film for all to see.
And all my respect to these convoy drivers, who are entering enemy territory unarmed to help civilians. I wish the guys in my country had similar balls.
Want to understand how people are being jived, read this bio of Victoria-5-billion-dollar-Nuland, who goes back to the Clinton Yugoslavia policy, thru Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Syria, McCain, Ukraine, with some stopovers at the house of Petraeus, Strobe Talbot, and Susan Rice talking points thrown in for the heck of it
Kilroy Nuland Was Here
When Obama and crew lose, we all lose but in this case no one loses more then the people of Ukraine. The fascists of Kiev are 'just' another CIA created proxy army to fight for the interests of Hunter Biden's ilk and various American syndicates, to face down the bear. If you have ever encountered a grizzly bear (personal experience, Jasper National Park, Canada, 1982) you will know that once the bear is angry and turns on you it does not go well, your options of retreat are limited to climbing a tree or playing dead, that is it, nothing more. Fighting the bear in this case will be a total loss, the bear will not back down, it has been betrayed (an ape in its favorite wild strawberry patch) and will not let up or show forgiveness and why should it. The Obama and syndicate is a complete existential threat to the Russian bear on every level. We get very little real news from the MSM out of the Ukraine, MH-17 looks like a CIA false flag and I am starting to think that Ferguson has become a made for TV distraction. I believe Obama is the most dangerous and incompetent leader this country has ever elected. With all the problems at home our nations future is not looking good. I survived the close encounter with the bear because at the time I was young and fit, I climbed a tree and waited 4 hours and the bear finally wandered off. Our nation is not young, nor is it fit and nimble, heavy GDP to debt ratio, personal and private debt across the nation is high, crumbling infrastructure, messing with the bear is not a good idea.
That is to say, you retreated strategically. And that is what the U.S. should do in Ukraine.
It was being used as such. Why did justice want the video withheld? How dtd they get the police to go along?
Obama creates no optics by accident. He knew how running back to golf after the beheading speech would play. One shocking news item pushes the last one off the radar. He sent Holder down to firm up the base. Done. They will find some civil rights violation, but that has to be stretched out to the election
Must be time for another invasion. War = Bucks
press not reporting this about Foley (wrong optics) “Moderate” Syrian Insurgents handed American Beheaded Journalist over to ISIS as a Token of Allegiance
Foley was a big supporter of the FSA/anti Assad faction.
What will you lose, if Obimbo will lose?
You have nothing to do outside the USA borders. AMi go home!
EPIC FAIL!!!

Censorship in Ukrainian media 1:
Done.
Garik, I give you links, you need to clean them up. These below to kill:

Disable comments here.

Censorship in Ukrainian media 2:
I understand. Will be done.
Svet, we need to fill our website with western politicians and PMs statements and opinions. Certainly, it should be in the favour of us (Ukraine). You need to look for it thoroughly. And do it quickly.
About Boeing MH17:
We must continue with 777. We need as much news as possible. Terse and clear. No updates - every article goes as separate post. We must drown Girkin (leader of rebels) + more statements from the West. Keep aside OSCE and the resolution that they are preparing now.
About Russia and Romania:
in response to appeals for referendum to join Romania in southern regions of Ukraine
No. We have clear goal now - bring down Russia. Do not touch Romania.
Look what I have received from Chernovitskaya oblast. They say these kind of slogans on every building in the town. Shall we say anything about that?
About fake paid accounts for Western audience 1:
I have 5 people working with English. They can be found here: (url). They strictly following the agenda of the client. They have opened 17 accounts. Here's the list:
(list)
What kind of statistics do you need and for what period?
About fake paid accounts for Western audience 2:
Censored ... yesterday evening I had an opportunity to check your posts. Have you seen yourself how your guys are working? I am sorry for that, but you are useless. Tell me, do your guys have any imagination? What kind of user names do you use? PATHETIC LYING RUSSIA, Putin is a NAZI PIG, DISGUSTING FASCIST RUSSIA, Putin is like Hitler, Putin is a LIAR and THIEF, Another ruSSian lie. Censored, it is obvious that these are fake accounts and can be used only for trolling. Did we ask you to do that? A clear goal has been set for you: pretending as you are ordinary people from different parts of the world, you should support Kiev, blame Putin and KGB propaganda. I have no idea what are your people doing. Why all your accounts registered in Canada? Censored, Alik, these are simple things, they are obvious!
About fake paid accounts for Western audience 3:
Alik, we are reading your comments and we are shocked! Are you drunk? You have just one user, who's writing from different locations in the same day! You have to stop it. It is no good. I will send Garik to you and he's going to tune up the Europe for you. I repeat once again: you need to pretend as you are european and use different locations. You need to make semblance like europeans support ukrainians - till the very end! Do not use Canadian accounts for a while. I think it is obvious they are fake.
In case if someone does not believe. I have found one of the fake users from the email. Here you go: DISGUSTING FASCIST RUSSIA. Surrey, Canada. The rest of the fake accounts you can find yourself.
US (through Nuldelman) said: fuc* the EU
Russia said (sending in the lorries): fuc* the USA.
Simmply they expressed the opinion, that the Ua authorities, as the pretorians of CIA, do not have any say on the territory of Novorossia.
This step will accelerate the disintegration of Ukraine and push the Romanian Ukrainians and the Austrohungarian Ukrainians to move on and challenge the attachment of their districts to Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and POland.
Russians told to the CIA and their thugs i nWhite HOuse and in Kiev, that UA does not exist any more within the borders it did have after 1994.
Nikita Solomon CHruscov (yes, he was from the tribe as well, check out, on which shcolls his children lecture the jewish young generations today...) attached Krim to Ua, its away.
Vladimir I. Lenin-Uljanov (his grandfather: Israel Mosko Blank) attached terirtories of Novorossia and Odesa to Ua, he wanted to mix up the ukranian peasants and the russian proletariat in those regions...social engineering...
The chicken come now home.
No integral Ukraine exists any more. 200 trucks cross the border with a delivery and they approve afterwards, as to save the face. But the damage was done.
