Vladimir Putin states he is hopeful about upcoming election in Ukraine

Russia’s Vladimir Putin spoke of Ukraine’s planned October 26th election:

October 2, 2014

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he hoped Ukraine’s parliamentary poll, scheduled for October 26, would help restore stability in the country, saying that such a development would also be welcomed by Russia.

Relations between Moscow and Kyiv have been teetering on the brink since Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula in March and has since been seen as having fomented and directly supported a separatist rebellion in the country’s east, a charge Moscow denies.

“I hope Ukraine’s parliamentary elections will be worthy and there will finally be long-awaited political stability,” Putin told VTB Capital “Russia Calling” investment forum in Moscow.

“Ukraine’s exit from political and economic crisis is in Russia’s national interests,” he added referring to Ukraine as Russia’s “most brotherly” nation.

“We are tied together through an ethnic, spiritual, religious and historic commonality,” said Putin.

Charges, counter-charges

At the same time the Russian leader warned Ukraine that it can “preserve its territorial integrity and unity only if it guarantees the rights of all its citizens,” a clear reference to Ukraine’s ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, who Moscow claims are being discriminated against. Kyiv denies the allegation, accusing Russia of exaggerating and artificially inflaming tensions as part of efforts to destabilize Ukraine.

Ukrainians are seen as having turned their back on their former Soviet overlord when after months of massive protests they ousted Russia-backed president Viktor Yanukovych in February. Yanukovych, who fled to Russia, in November of last year spurned an association deal with the European Union in favor of a bail-out from Moscow. Ukraine’s new government has since signed the agreement, raising concerns in Moscow over its European course.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine’s still restive east, Pro-Russia rebel leaders, who do not recognize Kyiv’s sovereignty over territory they control, have already said the October 26 poll has no validity for them. http://www.voanews.com/content/putin-says-he-hoped-election-will-bring-ukraine-stability/2470026.html

Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine, to influence, dominate, and ultimately control. He is repeatedly taking steps in order to increase Russian influence there.

Many in Ukraine do not trust him or Russia. They hope that they will be able to be a real part of the European Union and benefit economically and politically from that.

Notice also what has been going on in the East:

October 2, 2014

Rebel forces in eastern Ukraine are conducting an offensive to capture the government-held airport in Donetsk, officials say.

Pro-Russian rebels have tried several times in recent weeks to take the airport, which lies to the north-west of the city, despite an official truce.

The Ukrainian military said the rebels were moving on “a broad front”.

However a spokesman denied claims they had taken a large part of the airport and insisted it was not surrounded.

The ceasefire was called on 5 September, but on Wednesday four people were killed by a shell which landed on a school in Donetsk, and six died when a minibus was hit. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29455133

Parts of Ukraine are dangerous and the situation within that country remain tense.
