THERES HUNDREDS DEAD AFTER YESTERDAYS KILLINGS AT KIEV IN THE UKRAINE.

EU ministers should discuss peacekeepers for Ukraine

20.02.14 @ 12:17-EUOBSERVER
By Vasyl Filipchuk and Amanda Paul
KIEV AND BRUSSELS - The death toll continues to rise in Ukraine.This afternoon the EU’s Foreign Affairs council will finally discuss imposing sanctions against Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and a number of other Ukrainian political elites and oligarchs following the terrifying, and bloody events that took place between 18 and 19 February and which continue to unfold.By noon of 20 of February, about 50 people have been killed. Thousands have been injured. The regime is cold-bloodedly killing its citizens despite of the presence of EU ministers in the town.The goal is to wipe out EuroMaidan no matter the cost to human life. So far it has failed - Ukrainians are ready to fight until the end, despite fear a military intervention may be around the corner. But today is becoming a disastrous day for the whole of Europe.For weeks, Ukrainians as well as numerous international experts and analysts, have called on the EU to take a tougher approach, going beyond calls for dialogue.But previous statements, such as those by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and a number of other EU officials and leaders, stating that sanctions were not on the table, sent a very wrong message to Yanukovych.We can now understand that he interpreted these statements as a green light to do whatever he wanted and not be punished.Meanwhile, protesters read EU statements of “deep concern” as derision; a sign that Europe has betrayed Ukraine and European values. Unfortunately, many Ukrainians see this approach as evidence that a new deal along the lines of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact has been agreed behind closed doors and that Ukraine is given as a negotiating chip to Russia.It is actually quite difficult to understand the EU thinking behind a no-sanctions approach.The most common argument has been that sanctions do not work, using the case of Belarus as an example. In fact references to Belarus are irrelevant and simply demonstrate that those who make such a comparison do not understand anything about these two countries.Unlike Belarus, Ukraine’s political and ruling elite are deeply integrated into a number of EU member states: Austria and the UK are the best known examples, where they keep their families and money.Hence the idea of losing their comfortable EU bolt holes, along with their financial assets being frozen, is a horrifying thought. Imposing sanctions has the real potential to seriously weaken and undermine the unity of the ruling Party of Regions.While a “truce” was called yesterday night and Yanukovych has now said he wants dialogue, in reality his snipers are killing dozens of people every hour.
This is not a film - it is the centre of what used to be one of the most secure and peaceful European cities. Everybody can see that this is a clear case of “the Emperor wearing no clothes” and all dialogue is a sham. Unfortunately, it seems that the only language that President Yanukovych seems to understand is that of force.The sad fact here is that these sanctions come too late.Protesters have armed themselves while Yanukovych has lost all sense of reality. He seems set on waging a real war against his own nation. All options are presently on the table - we might see even more blood in the capital than we did in Budapest in 1956 or in Prague in 1968.It could ultimately destabilize the whole of Europe.Hence the international community needs to fully wake up and face up to the reality that much deeper engagement is needed, including the possibility of having peace-keepers on the ground if we cannot deescalate the violence. While the UN may be considered, Russia will most likely make it impossible to use this institution.Therefore, the EU remains the most neutral actor and will be welcomed by everyone who is really interested in peace.
The EU has already taken on a monitoring mission role in its eastern neighbourhood in Georgia. While we hope the violence will stop now in Kiev, there is little hope for the wisdom of Yanykovych.Therefore there is urgent that the EU decide to be prepared for every eventuality. The need to send peacekeepers might be obvious even in some hours.The EU must show that it is more than a paper tiger, which only acts after the horse has bolted. Now, or it will be again too little and too late, and the price will be the lives of thousands.

EU unsure who to blacklist in Ukraine

Today @ 21:33-FEB 20,14-Yahoonews
By Andrew Rettman
KRAKOW - EU countries have agreed to impose sanctions on the Ukrainian regime, but disagree who should be on the blacklist and when it should enter into life.“The EU has decided as a matter of urgency to introduce targeted sanctions including asset freeze and visa ban against those responsible for human rights violations, violence and use of excessive force,” foreign ministers said after a snap meeting in Brussels on Thursday (20 February).“The scale of implementation will be taken forward in the light of developments in Ukraine,” they added.EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton told press that “members of the [EU] Council were truly alarmed, shocked by the scale of violence that has taken place and I think this will drive the agenda going forward.”She also rebuked a Russian TV reporter for saying the EU is at fault for inciting protesters, calling his remarks “ridiculous.”An EU diplomatic source told EUobserver the names on the blacklist will be “very limited in number” and will, for the most part, designate “leaders of repressive structures,” such as Ukraine's interior ministry and its intelligence service, the SBU.The diplomat added there was “a huge debate” on when the list should be published in the bloc’s Official Journal, marking its entry into life, and who should be on it.“In light of the current visit by EU foreign ministers, if there is a prospect the Ukrainian authorities would accept a compromise solution, the modalities of implementation might be different,” the contact said, referring to a visit by French, German, and Polish ministers to Kiev on Thursday, who briefed colleagues in Brussels by videolink.The diplomat noted that some EU countries also want to list leaders of “radical” opposition groups, but others say this would send a misleading signal that both sides are to blame.“At the moment there is clearly no unity on this aspect. We might have a list ready tomorrow, but if we can’t agree on a list which makes sense, it’s probably better to wait a couple of days,” the source said.
The measures are likely to disappoint Ukrainian opposition leaders, who say the EU should target pro-government oligarchs.Ostap Semerak, an advisor to opposition MP Arseniy Yastenyuk, told a meeting of MEPs from the centre-right EPP group in Krakow, Poland, also on Thursday the EU should go after billionaire Ukrainian businessmen Rinat Akhmetov, Dmitry Firtash, and Victor Pinchuk, who have financial assets and luxury homes in EU countries.“They are afraid of sanctions and they control at least 70 members from the [ruling] Party of Regions in the Ukrainian parliament. This, together with the oppositon MPs, is more than the half that is needed to make the political decisions that we need,” he said, on the prospect of a parliamentary vote of no confidence in Yanukovych and early elections.Semerak’s voice quivered with emotion when he spoke of visiting casualties in Ukrainian hospitals on Wednesday and of reading tweets about the growing death toll during Thursday’s EPP debate. “I am seeing that at least seven more people have died while we sit here,” he said.He told this website that policemen in the “Berkut,” a special unit at the heart of the violence, are willing to shoot fellow Ukrainians because of a “culture of sadism” in the squad.
He noted that some officers in other forces, such as the interior ministry’s “BBVV” units, have defected.
The events in Kiev, which saw dozens of protesters shot dead with live ammunition on Thursday, have prompted self-recrimination in the EU.Arnaud Danjean, a French centre-right MEP who chairs the European Parliament’s subcommittee on security and defence, said leading EU countries should have handled Ukraine instead of leaving it to “technocrats” in the European Commission and the EU foreign service.Janusz Lewandowski, the Polish commissioner in charge of the EU budget, noted that member states did not allocate enough money for Ukraine to enable EU institutions to play a role.Polish centre-right deputy Jacek Saryusz-Wolski said EU foreign ministers should be talking about peace monitors, on the model of an EU operation in Georgia, instead of visa bans at this stage.For his part, Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans said in Brussels that no matter what the EU does, Ukrainian people will hold Yanukovych to account.
“The people simply don’t want to follow the path set by Yanukovych. So whether we impose sanctions or not, he will have huge problems with his population if he takes this path [of refusing pro-democratic reform],” the minister said.The EU also adopted a ban on exports of items which can be used for internal repression. But it deleted proposals for a ban on arms sales. An EU diplomat said both measures are symbolic. But imposing an EU arms ban would have made the foreign ministers look silly because Ukraine is one of the world’s largest arms exporters.

Blood and tears on Kiev's Independence Square

AFP
Kiev (AFP) - As fighting rages all around him on Kiev's Independence Square, a volunteer medic tears open a young protester's bloodstained T-shirt and desperately pumps the demonstrators chest as his grey face stares into the sky.Nearby, protesters scream wildly for people to clear a path for a stretcher carrying a man's covered body. A helmet lies on his chest. His arm dangles down lifelessly.Dazed demonstrators move out of the way, some crossing themselves, as smoke from burning barricades and car tyres billows into the air around them, like scenes from a war film.It is the deadliest day yet in three months of anti-government protests in Ukraine and Kiev's Independence Square, known as the Maidan, is Ground Zero.Riot police fire salvos of rubber bullets at anti-government protesters who hurl back Molotov cocktails and stones, determined to take back full control of the square, the epicentre of the opposition-led protest movement.
Overlooking the square is the towering Soviet-era Ukraina Hotel, home to many of the foreign reporters covering Ukraine's worst unrest since independence. A flag with a red cross hastily strung from the building signals that it is now also a makeshift clinic and morgue.Inside, volunteer health workers have taken over the lobby. Seven bodies covered with white sheets are lined up on the marble floor in front of the reception desk."They were shot in the head or in the heart by live bullets, not by rubber ones," says volunteer first aid worker Natalia, pointing to a bloodstained bulletproof vest lying discarded on the hotel floor, with a hole shot through it.Protesters and police have both accused each other of using live ammunition in the clashes, with the interior ministry insisting security forces only fired in self-defence.According to the volunteer medics, more than 60 protesters died from gunshot wounds on Thursday.Back on the square, protesters manning the barricades show an AFP reporter spent cartridge shells, and metal shields pierced with what look like bullet holes. A short distance away, riot officers can be heard firing warning shots."We pushed forward to repel them and they opened up on us with Kalashnikovs and sniper fire."Above the turmoil on the square, loudspeakers relay the positions of suspected sharp shooters spotted on the roofs and at the windows of nearby buildings.For some, the chaos is too much to bear. Struggling to take in the carnage around him, a young man sits hunched over on the pavement, sobbing. Nearby, a middle-aged woman weeps openly and is comforted by her husband.But for most, there is little time to waste, with every spare moment being used to reinforce barricades and stockpile Molotov cocktails.In one area of the square, hundreds of demonstrators -- including old men and young women -- stand in long human chains passing paving stones to the frontlines, as men clad in camouflage gear drag everything from telephone booths to rubbish skips towards the barriers.
From a podium in the middle of the square chants of "Glory to Ukraine" ring out, lifting the protesters' spirits.
Later, as darkness settled over the Maidan, the clashes appeared to have subsided but the mood among the roughly 20,000 demonstrators seemed to be hardening."It is war and this is the front," said Bogdan, a protester in his sixties."It may be peaceful now but the only way it can end is with the physical destruction of the president."We want a short, quiet funeral for him and then we will be happy."

Poll: Socialists to top EU elections, boost for far-right

19.02.14 @ 14:00-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS - Europe's socialists are set to top the polls in May's European elections, according to the first pan-EU election forecast.The projections, released by Pollwatch Europe on Tuesday (19 February), give the parliament's centre-left group 221 out of 751 seats on 29 percent of the vote, up from the 194 seats it currently holds.For their part, the centre-right EPP would drop to 202 seats from the 274 it currently holds on 27 percent of the vote across the bloc. If correct, it would be the first victory for the Socialists since 1994.The poll is the first in a series of fortnightly forecasts by Pollwatch in the last three months before Europe's 400 million voters go to the ballot booths from 22-25 May.The PollWatch statistical model takes opinion poll data from the EU's 28 member states and gives extra weighting to support for small and eurosceptic parties which, it argues, are usually underestimated in European election surveys.Although the volatile political climate in many of the EU's countries and uncertainty about how many voters will turn out in May means that centre-right parties, which are currently in government in most of Europe, could still recover ground, the scale of their projected losses is set to come as a surprise.Most analysts expect the EPP to still be the largest political force in parliament following May's elections, albeit with a diminished number of seats.
The forecast will also offer hope to Martin Schulz, the current president of the parliament, who is to be confirmed in March as the Socialist candidate to lead the next European Commission. May's elections will be the first to have a direct effect on who the next president of the EU executive will be, under provisions introduced by the Lisbon treaty.Elsewhere, the poll projects a series of national victories for populist parties of the right and left in a number of countries. Marine Le Pen's National Front is forecast to top the poll in France with 20 seats, while Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement would win in Italy with 24 seats.It also anticipates strong showings for parties in Belgium, Austria, Italy and Sweden and the Netherlands who have pledged to set up a new far-right political group with Le Pen, and are set to take a combined 38 seats.
In total, it projects that the number of so-called 'Non aligned' MEPs would swell to 92 after May's poll.
Crucially for the legislative programme of the new parliament, this would make it almost impossible for either of the major groups to form ideologically based left-right majorities between 2014-2019.Meanwhile, in Greece, the leftist Syriza party is projected to take nine of the country's 21 seats.Professor Simon Hix, who chairs VoteWatch Europe, commented that "the polarisation of the EP could force the centrist groups to work together in a 'grand coalition'."

Loris Capovilla will not receive the biretta in Rome

Archbishop Capovilla will receive the biretta on 1 March at a ceremony in Sotto il Monte in northern Italy, where John XXIII witnessed the first stone being laid at the tender age of 20

andrea tornielli vatican city Archbishop Loris Capovilla (98) will not be in Rome for the Consistory in which he was supposed to be created cardinal. The Holy See Press Office has published a list of the locations in the Apostolic Palace and the Paul VI Hall where each cardinal will be receiving courtesy visits. But the name of the former private secretary to John XXIII is not on it.“I asked the Holy Father to give me a dispensation so I don’t have to come to Rome. I’m not strong enough and I feel uncomfortable at the thought of meeting so many people,” Capovilla told Vatican Insider. The prelate has not left his home for some time now but is perfectly lucid. He had prepared the red cassock brought to him by the nuns who are caring for him as he initially intended to attend the ceremony. But in the end he simply didn’t feel up to it and asked Francis for a dispensation from the obligation to go to Rome.He will be created cardinal on Saturday morning when the Pope proclaims his name in the Consistory, but he will receive the purple-red biretta some days later in the northern Italian town of Sotto il Monte probably on 1 March. The ceremony will take place in the church which the then 20-year-old Angelo Roncalli consecrated before he became John XXIII. He saw the first stone being laid. A papal delegate will deliver the biretta to Capovilla.Cardinals have in the recent past been granted dispensation from attending Consistories due to old age or poor health. In 1998, Cardinal Alberto Bovone, Prefect of the Congregation for the causes of Saints received the biretta from the Secretary of State, Angelo Sodano, whilst in hospital battling with a serious illness that would claim his life a few weeks later at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.But cardinals have not just pulled out of the Consistory for age or health reasons. Even Roncalli, who was created cardinal by Pius XII in December 1953 when he was Apostolic Nuncio in Paris, received the red biretta from French President Vincent Auriol. This old tradition is no longer in force. The same happened with the Apostolic Nuncio in Spain.
