We completed our move to our new apartment. I haven’t put up a new “daily roundup” of war news yet. There’s a reason… often, such a compendium takes several hours to complete, it’s not a cut n’ paste. Firstly, one reads the relevant press articles… I’ve chosen the VOR posts as the basis of the public post because they’re the briefest. You see, I read several sources, so, if there’s any mistakes in the VOR submissions, I correct them. Secondly, I lay out the post, correct all grammatical errors and correct any detail I find not agreeing with my other sources. In short, it’s a production, it isn’t a lazy thing, and I haven’t had the energy to do so this week. I’ve been knackered and fagged out. I’m feeling better, so, the next roundup goes up on Monday. The junta continues to lie and the Western media laps it up.
It ain’t easy being green… let me tell you, my knees are still talking to me…

P A Poroshenko’s proposal to increase funding for arms procurement is unlikely to significantly help his army… Ukrainian science expenditures accounted for only 0.27 percent of GDP whilst the military already consumes 1.25 percent of GDP.
