Ukraine SITREP Thursday March 12th, 2015
The main development in the Ukraine is the sharp increase in the number of visible signs of the economic collapse taking place. Prices are sky-rocketing, more and more salaries are simply unpaid, shortages are becoming more frequent and as a direct result, so are social protests. The interesting thing is that these protests are not limited to the eastern Ukraine, but are also taking place in western regions of the country. These protests includes strikes and street protests. The IMF has agreed to $17.5bn in loans to Ukraine but that will clearly not be sufficient, if only because whatever money is not stolen will be used for war. The situation is now so dire that the Ukraine purchases gas from Russia only for a couple of days in advance.
The situation is also sharply deteriorating along the line of contact where the junta forces have resumed sporadic shelling all along the frontline. It is becoming evident that the junta forces have not withdrawn their heavy weapons. DNR Foreign Minister Alexander Kofman has declared yesterday that he expected a full scale junta attack within the next two weeks. Needless to say, such an attack has exactly zero chance of success, but if it is executed in response to a false flag atrocity somewhere near the line of contact it will at least serve to distract the public from the economic disaster taking place in all of the Ukraine.
Since the Hrivna is in free fall and since Kiev has stopped paying pensions and bank operations in the Donbass, the two Novorussian republics have now switched to a multi-currency system in which the Hrivna, the Ruble, the Dollar and the Euro are all legal tender.
As was easily predicted, the Minsk 2 Agreement has now basically stalled because the junta is apparently unable (or unwilling) to withdraw its heavy weapons or engage in constitutional reforms. As a direct result of this, Russia and Novorussia are now the legal “owners” of the border between the two countries.
US military aid is slowly coming in, and officially it is limited to non-lethal aid. As I said many times, no amount of military aid will make any real difference in the military balance between the junta and Novorussia.
The Saker

Liberated village Nikishino – Life after the Hell
Lugansk People’s Republic is in talks to supply coal to Russia, the head of LPR Igor Plotnitsky said.
Today there are new negotiations. And not only with Ukraine, but, first of all, with Russia. We expect the first results in the near future. Ukraine’s sinking economy is not so interesting for us
Message from a resident of Schastye.
We have firefight with small arms and mortars since 6 am today. There became more soldiers. Equipment moves up to us periodically.
5 tanks arrived the day before yesterday. But I do not know, whether they remained in the city or went further to Stanitsa. And, in general, here became more equipment. AFU move by SUVs and minivans now. It is said that there are small skirmishes all along the line. People are quietly hoping that the militia would come soon to our city and drive the Ukrainian security services out of it
DPR Army reflects National Guard assaults in Shirokino. Minsk agreement has long been respected at Mariupol and in Shirokino only by militias. Ukrainian punishers are constantly shelling militia positions, do not hesitate to destroy civilian houses with mortars and tanks. DPR Army soldiers reflect assaults on their positions by the punitive battalions, the National Guard and the AFU. Militia military correspondents recorded fighting in the village on March 10, 2015. Militia told about the clashes and showed burnt equipment and destroyed houses.
According to the local residents:
Yesterday, 03.10.15, the AFU withdrew SPGs under the supervision in the villages Mirnaya Dolina and Loskutovka (LPR). Local residents report that the SPGs with a cannon diameter “like a bucket” were returned and spread in these villages immediately after the OSCE observers left. There is no withdrawal of heavy weapons by AFU. Apparently hidden force accumulation being prepared.
Message from militia.
Today Ukrainian occupation troops violated Minsk agreement on a cease-fire. City Zolotoye and mine “Pervomaiskaya” in LPR were shelled with mortars and self-propelled artillery guns (SPGs) about eight in the morning. The incident is considered as a provocation by the Ukrainian army, they expect to cause fire respond, accusing the AFN of violation of the armistice. By chance, none of the people was hurt. Mine was damaged that can lead to flooding

On March 11 the situation has not changed on the fronts of the DPR and the LPR. Local fighting continued in the area of Shirokino and Peski, relocation of Ukrainian troops was observed on the track Bakhmutka and at the site Schastye-Stanitsa Luganskaya. AFU here obviously accumulate assault force, circumventing the Minsk Agreement.
