And how are they going to enforce the rest of the stretch?  Roll Eyes

Some of the checkpoints which they have mentioned here (Dolzhansky, Chervonopartizansk, Krasnaya Mogila.etc) are currently under the control of Lugansk People's Army.

Also, you have to give Putin points for style: when asked what he thinks of the leaders of G7 dining at a table without the President of Russian Federation, he replied:

"I wish them bon appetit."

Russia’s ambassador returns to Kiev, plans to attend Poroshenko inauguration

Russia’s ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov will attend the inauguration of Petro Poroshenko as Ukrainian president, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin told ITAR-TASS on Thursday. It was decided that Zurabov will take part in the official ceremony of Ukraine’s presidential inauguration, which is due to be held on June 7. Zurabov will not participate in the reception after the ceremony, the news agency said. He is returning to Kiev to resume his work as ambassador after the Ukrainian presidential election.





As I said in the other thread , they've got what they wanted they are leaving the rest in the hands of the EU.

Medvedev calls G7 support for Ukraine military operation ‘cynicism without limit’

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday accused the Group of Seven of backing Ukraine’s military operation in eastern parts of the country. “The so-called G7 even talks about the measured actions of the Ukrainian army against its own people,” Medvedev said at a meeting with ministers. “Cynicism knows no limit in this case.” In a communiqué released at a G7 summit in Brussels on Wednesday, world leaders encouraged Ukraine to “maintain a measured approach in pursuing operations to restore law and order,” AFP said. Medvedev also said that the Ukrainian authorities are speaking about “the absence of refugees” from their state. “It is a lie,” he said.

If they don't post any news it's a conspiracy , if they post the fake news is paid propaganda , if they post the real news they must have a hidden agenda...

I just can't bring myself to believe that anything good will come from the Fox outlet. Guardian - yes, possibly; Fox - no.



And here is where the IMF loan goes:

Who will benefit from the IMF's $17bn bailout of Ukraine? Not its people

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/20/who-will-benefit-from-imf-ukraine-bailout-not-its-people

Austerity, here we come (and, of course, save the banks first). At least in Russia they revoke th licenses of the banks that are on a course to failure.
Quote
IMF insists on dramatic measures in five main areas of the economy: a sharp currency devaluation, which will increase the cost of all imported goods, a government-funded bailout for domestic banks, government spending cuts, measures to regulate money laundering and a sharp increase in energy prices.

The latter are particularly ironic, since the widespread story in the west is that it is the Russian oil giant Gazprom that is threatening price hikes. The IMF calls for energy prices to be increased by between 240% and 425% over the next four years. No wonder Ukrainian prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says he will be "the most unpopular prime minister in the history of my country".

Preserving the private-sector banks seems to take precedence over the stated objective of improving government finances. The state will be expected to recapitalise the failed private banks using public resources.



In the meantime, the bounty $500,000 on Oleg Carev's head promised by the National Guard, will be reduced by $20,000 each three days:
http://ria.ru/world/20140605/1010790353.html

Doublespeak alert! Charges against him are:
"Change of territorial integrity of the country by the means of its federalisation"

Federalisation was (and still is) the only way to somehow save territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Oleg Carev is currently in Crimea and intends to oppose the current powers in Kiev from exile.

Fox. They must have been given green light to publish it with such wording. I see two reasons:
1. The US is preparing to back-pedal on the Ukrainian involvement
2. (more likely) This should prepare the public for why US needs to spend more money on NATO and send money and weapons to Ukraine (to help poor, bullet-deprived National Guard)

because it seems Russia is not too eager to rejoin G7?
in Russia we call G7 as 'USA and their underlings', the humor is that 'six' means also 'underling' in Russian.

The English "boot-licker" or "stooge" would be a closer translation of the jargon use the the word "six" ("shesterka"). The less pleasant translations would include use of the lower parts of human body anatomy.  Tongue

So, yeah, G1+6 Smiley

Van Rompuy says Russia’s suspension in G8 ‘temporary’

It is premature to speak about when Russia can return to the G8, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said Wednesday. This is for the leaders of G7 to decide, he said, adding that the situation is assessed regularly. It is only a suspension, and not a permanent expulsion, RIA Novosti quoted him as saying. President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said earlier Wednesday that Moscow is not discussing returning to the G8, but that Russia remains open for contacts and cooperation.

The Investigation Committee of Russian Federation has created a special task force to investigate criminal acts of international scale against civilian population in Ukraine. The task force will continue its work until all Ukrainian military and civilian persons, who committed the crimes are prosecuted. The investigation will be assisted by the prosecutor offices of the regions that take in Ukrainian refugees.

Russia pulling back most troops from Ukrainian border - NATO commander

Russia is pulling back most of its troops from the Ukrainian border, NATO’s top military commander said on Wednesday. US Air Force General Philip Breedlove, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe, also said that a portion of the Russian force “looks like it intends to remain,” Reuters reported.

No plans for separate Putin-Poroshenko meeting in France

The Kremlin does not rule out that President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko will meet during D-Day celebrations in Normandy, France, on June 6, although there will be no separate meeting. “No one is preparing a separate meeting, meanwhile, participants of war memorial events will stay together, in one group, therefore, contact is not ruled out,” Itar-Tass quoted Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying Wednesday. Putin will have separate meetings with British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Normandy.
