'Putin is disappointed at performance of Russian troops in Donetsk against Ukrainian volunteers. He wants to control Donetsk airport, so will continue to fight..'<blockquote>'..The post-revolution Prosecutor General Magnitsky (from the Svoboda party), made $300 million in bribes while in office. There is no more tolerance for corruption in Ukrainian society, if it is not dealt with very soon, there will be another revolution. People won't even demonstrate on Maidan, they will just move straight to occupation of government buildings, and use of violence. Possibility of Russian terror attacks in Ukraine in post electoral period in order to destabilize the situation, and play on domestic instability.

Putin is disappointed at performance of Russian troops in Donetsk against Ukrainian volunteers. He wants to control Donetsk airport, so will continue to fight. Putin sees the EU as lacking resolve on sanctions and thinks they will last about a year.'
