Not if you are in downtown Odessa!!!  At least not without an elevated position and a telescope!!
Sasha had it right upthread.

Relax Jay, I was meaning see sailors in centre. Funny how news stories take precedence over being there.....I am standing here at harbor and telling what I see!!! Yet Jay, you know better??? ::)
BTW, did see 2 US ships, don't know where rest are or how many there are.

" I was meaning see sailors in centre"


Perhaps you should have said that !!!  I did think that may have been what you meant --but--the upthread discussion was about where ships were docked!

"Funny how news stories take precedence over being there...."


This is the 2nd time this week I have heard that in response to my comment---the attitude and comment was as wrong then-- as yours was here--but funny how both times the response attempts to discredit on the same basis--ie-- how would I know etc


"I am standing here at harbor and telling what I see!!! Yet Jay, you know better??? ::)"


I was not telling you what   YOU CAN SEE--- I was telling you that you would not see them where you were looking !!
So-- do I now better ?  The answer is yes-I do. When you work out where the Ukrainian Navy is now based- you will see my point. I did say Sasha had it correct upthread.

Perhaps you should stick to getting your info from Natali-- she proved such a reliable credible source??

Ukraine Holds Local Elections That Test Oligarchs' Reach
The Associated Press

MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Ukrainians voted Sunday in local elections seen as a test of strength for
President Petro Poroshenko's government and for the oligarchs accustomed to running their own
regions, but a last-minute dispute blocked the ballot in a key port city.

The vote took place with resentment and disappointment running high among the electorate.

Voters were choosing more than 10,700 local councils as well as mayors in elections held
nationwide, except for in parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine controlled
by Russia-backed rebels. In eastern areas recaptured by government forces after fierce fighting
last year, former separatists were running for office as candidates from the Opposition Bloc.

Voting was scrapped Sunday at the last minute in Mariupol, a major port and steel city on the
Sea of Azov, where tensions have been brewing over the influence of Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's
richest man whose industrial holdings are key to Mariupol's economy.

Nerves in Mariupol were already frayed after more than a year of worry that the city was about to
be overrun by the Russia-backed rebels who had seized territory just a few kilometers away.

Ukraine Set to Rename 900 Towns With Soviet Names
« Reply #30 on: January 08, 2016, 08:10:51 PM »
To add to the difficulty of navigating and finding your way around-- the pace of  name changes is about to accelerate.I have commented previously the confusion of street names being changed to a totally different name  plus city and street names now in Ukrainian--  it has added a major new dimension to finding your way around.
  Typically-- people do not change overnight and keep using old names!!  My GPS's have worked overtime and at times- impossible to find previously easily found locations( they are fine if you can enter correct info-- but working out what is "correct" is not so easy!!) :)

More than 900 Ukrainian towns and villages will be renamed over the course of the year, in accordance with Ukraine’s push to remove commemorations of Soviet and Communist-era figures, the head of Ukraine’s state Institute for National Memory told Channel 5 on Wednesday.

Since Ukraine’s pro-European Maidan protests toppled the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych administration, the Ukrainian government has adopted a series of laws on “decommunization”—a process of removing displays, venerating the Soviet.


Ukraine Set to Rename 900 Towns With Soviet Names

The Institute for National Memory has compiled a list of 520 historical figures to be celebrated, from the Communist Manifesto’s authors Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, to former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, secret police chief Felix Dzerzhinsky and renowned propagandist Demian Bednyi.

According to the institute’s director Vladimir Vyatrovich, 943 towns, villages or settlements in Ukraine currently carry the name of a figure on the list and, in accordance with decommunization laws, will be renamed by the end of 2016.

Speaking to Channel 5, Vyatrovich also said that Ukraine had already removed over 800 statues of Lenin as part of the same process, but noted that Kiev was not endorsing wanton destruction of its Soviet past.

“The decommunization law has allowed for the possibility that, should anything have artistic value, it is taken down and displayed in a museum,” he said. “We can show our Soviet past in specialised museums and parks but we can not make it so the Soviet past lives among us, because it would deform us.”

Poroshenko wants to fire PM Yatsenyuk.  The onkly question is who to replace him with. As soon as he finds a candidate with enough votes, the dismissal will take place."

Among the names being considered is Rada Speaker Volodymyr Groysman, NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov, and even Odesa Governor and ex-president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili.

FBI is coming to help Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Bureau !!!    :clapping:

Anti-Corruption Bureau expects the active assistance from the FBI representatives, because they have the ability to track flow of currency worldwide.

1st step. FBI and NABU detectives will visit EU countries to receive international legal assistance in a criminal case against a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Mykola Martynenko, that was started in Switzerland.

FBI has had offices in Kiev for many years monitoring fraud in regards to electronic theft (banking, wires, etc).

We had dinner with a gentleman who met his Ukrainian wife while working for the FBI in Kiev. He said it was very discouraging as in many cases they could only watch and monitor as millions of dollars were siphoned to offshore accounts.

When the Rada deputy grabs the Prime Minister by the balls, it's business as usual in the Ukrainian parliament.

You're probably a great guy cc3 but even with you living there, I don't think the parliament will change because of the example you set.


How did I "prevent" you finding out about news?

 Did I slip an app or program into your `puter?

 Cancel your newspaper?

 Change the channel on your tube?



Mike, you're quoting yourself and debating yourself. The problem with people who report lopsided news is that it's not beneficial to the readers here. Talking only good about Ukraine and bad about Russia is giving people a warped perspective of what's really going on and telling them to find news opposite of what you're posting is not a solution. If you want to be a newscaster here, be more balanced and more people will enjoy reading what you're posting.

I'm still waiting to hear just how I "prevented" you from finding the news.

 Feel free to show what you consider to be balanced rather than rag on me or others with a similar mindset.

Thank you for this info. It's important that we understand the good people in the Ukrainian government are resigning. First it was the economic minister and now this guy all because they refuse to be part of or ignore corruption. Soon all that will remain are the corrupt politicians. The West may give up on Ukraine if they don't change their ways.

RT, Sputnik, and Pravda shove so much crappy one sided news in their readers faces that they "prevent" their readers from getting balanced news. You do the same thing. If you want to be a newscaster at RWD, be more balanced. It doesn't matter if you're posting honest news. Shoving too much one sided honest news in our faces is still crap and prevents us from getting a good read on the health of Russia and Ukraine. People shouldn't have to read your one sided news and then leave this sight to get things balanced. I, like many others, just stopped reading what you and JayH were posting.
