The first, in a while, meeting of the heads of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is a positive step, but the effectiveness of negotiations to resolve the situation in Ukraine is not yet clear. It was stated by the plenipotentiary representative of the DPR in the Contact group on Donbass Denis Pushilin to RIA Novosti.

After the 'Maidan', the rapid de-industrialization of Ukraine began. By the fourth year, the most sensible part of Ukrainian experts and politicians even began to understand that this is a road to nowhere. They talked about turning Ukraine into an agrarian country. 

Pensions, salaries and social benefits, as well as humanitarian assistance, continue to be provided in the DPR by the Russian Federation, therefore the stoppage of food supplies by the UN is not critical. It was stated by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin in the interview to the information and analytical publication “Ukraine”.

It is no secret that the Ukrainian politicum is not independent but dependent on the West and, in particular, on the United States. The only thing the West could not foresee was the level of corruption, greed and foolishness of Ukrainian politicians. And this mistake of foreign curators is coming at a high cost now. 

Following the results of the parliamentary hearings on the "Concept of Criminal Policy", the discussers presented their recommendations.

On December 5, in Minsk, the regular meeting of the Contact Group on the peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass was held. The agenda of the meeting included issues of compliance with the ceasefire regime, the implementation of agreements on the withdrawal of prohibited weapons and the disengagement of forces and facilities. A discussion of the conditions for preparing the exchange of prisoners also took place.

The topic of the anti-corruption struggle in Ukraine has already bored to death not only Ukrainians, but also curators of the Ukrainian politum from the United States. And it's not just because the government is not able to create anti-corruption legislation, the problem is that in the 'independent', the fight is not really about corruption: 'anti-corruptionists' are fighting other 'anti-corruptionists', while bribe-takers are still free.

On December 3, a group of unidentified men in camouflage and balaclavas locked the building of NewsOne TV channel down. The President of Ukraine Poroshenko and the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Avakov reacted immediately. Both did in Facebook.

In November, a petition appeared on the site of the Kiev City Council demanding that the monument to Prince Vladimir on Vladimirskaya Gorka has to be demolished. The authors of the appeal substantiate this by the fact that Prince Vladimir allegedly illegally came to power as a result of a coup d'état.

The subject of raiding has not come out of the news in Ukraine for several years. They seize everything: market places, shops, apartments, land property and entire enterprises. The invaders are “ATO” combatants, police, deputies, ministers and even the president of Ukraine. In any event, the accusations against the latter were brought by a figure of a loud scandal around the Zhitomir confectionery factory Igor Boyko.
