“amid clear signs that major unrest is abating”
The truth is that the unrest may be abating in Kiev, but not in the South/Southeast of the country.
Ukrainian Army troops are defecting in ever-greater numbers now, and more have been killed in the last week, than in all the weeks leading up to this. Gotta admire the Orwellian-like spin of the Times, though.
The REAL question should be:
Will the Kiev Coup leaders, and their Oligarch supporters, give up power to Poroshenko, who is widely expected to win the election?
Of course, Ukrainian troops are defecting in “ever-greater” numbers now. Let Putin deal with those homos.
If Keiv Government can continue to esculate the war in the East throughout the voting.....this guarantees there will be no voting coming from the East, thus secures whatever Pres. candidate of their choosing......IMO Yulia she-devil is behind this as well as she knows the EAst opposes her.
