All I found in a quick search was a debt agreement and Poroschenko saying last month economic growth might resume in the near future if things stay calm.

By now, no surprise; but disgusting, alarming, and outrageous nonetheless.
Fascist, criminal thugs.
(oh, yeah, and violators of every international law on the books).

Surely they must think those rebels must be fighting for a noble cause, right?

From the article:

They (the rebels) accused one of the banned NGOs - Doctors Without Borders - of (!!) "illegally storing psychotropic medication".
The NGO denies the allegation.


Depressing map, too.
