Has The War In Ukraine Moved To A Second Front?by support@pangea-cms.com (Dmytro Shurkhalo, Daisy Sindelar)
The violent weekend clashes between Ukrainian police and armed fighters from the Right Sector nationalist group have the potential to move the Ukrainian conflict to a new front on its westernmost border. We look at the multiethnic, independent-minded region of Transcarpathia, where some residents' roots lie closer to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania -- and even Russia -- than they do to Ukraine.

Russia ‘a Failed State’ Because It Doesn’t Enforce Its Own Laws, Shtepa Says by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, July 13 – Few concepts are more often misunderstood than that of “a failed state.”Such a state is not one on which there are no powerful institutions, but rather it is one in which there is no central authority which exercises control over actions on all of its territory and which at least tries to enforce its own laws on the population.
Tragically, there are more failed states around than many would like to admit; and one of them may very well be the Russian Federation.In a brief comment today, Russian regionalist Vadim Shtepa says that it is “a failed state” because laws inscribed in its own criminal code are not enforced (rufabula.com/author/shtepa/614).
Specifically, he says, Moscow shows little or no interest in enforcing Paragraph 353 of Section 34 of that code. That provision specifies that anyone who plans, prepares, unleashes or conducts an aggressive war is subject to imprisonment for a period of seven to fifteen years.” And anyone who engages in a war of aggression faces “the loss of freedom for ten to 20 years.
Such legal provisions may seem meaningless to many. After all, no one is likely to bring Vladimir Putin to justice for his violations of this paragraph.But they are not unimportant because they can become the basis for soldiers and others to refuse to obey illegal orders to engage in such actions.
And that could become increasingly significant if more soldiers leave their posts as some have already in order to avoid being sent to Ukraine. On that, see “Russian Soldiers Increasingly Deserting Their Units to Avoid Being Sent to Fight in Ukraine,” July 11, 2015, atwindowoneurasia2.blogspot.com/2015/07/russian-soldiers-increasingly-deserting.html.

Moscow’s War in Ukraine is Putting an End to Military Reform in Russia, Golts Says by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, July 13 – The increasing resistance among Russian soldiers – and in particular professionals – to being sent to fight in Ukraine not only highlights the problems Russian commanders are facing in finding enough troops to replace or supplement those already there, Moscow military analyst Aleksandr Golts says.
It also means, he writes in “Yezhednevny zhurnal” today, that the military reforms launched earlier are at an end and that “commanders have begun to act just as they did decades ago” when they would use any means including abuse, threats, and false promises to get soldiers to follow orders however illegal (ej.ru/?a=note&id=28129).
To the extent that the story about the resistance of soldiers in one unit are true, Golts says, “this is the end of progressive military reforms. The thing is that instead of the promised humanization of military service, soldiers have again been reduced to the status of slaves” and that this is happening not just to draftees but to older military professionals.
And the situation has become so bad, he continues, that such soldiers “have not found any other way out besides flight. Because they do not believe that in Russia it is possible to achieve justice. Who is going to consider that after all this, they will die for a country which has do mistreated them?”
“Any army is strong to the extent its soldiers have faith in their commanders,” Golts says. In the Russian army today, however, “soldiers know that their commanders are lying to them about unprecedentedly high rewards for participation in the war in the Donbas. This lie began a year ago” when Moscow suggested that only volunteers on their own were going to Ukraine.
According to Golts, “such bald-faced lying takes away from the commander any sense of responsibility for the life of his subordinates, but it is precisely on the basis of this responsibility that military discipline and readiness to fulfill orders is built.”
The worst of all this, the Moscow analyst continues, is that such problems are unlikely to be found in “only one brigade.”More likely, “something similar is occurring throughout the Armed Forces. And that means that the flow of those who want to become professional soldiers is contracting.”
“Sooner or later,” Golts concludes, that will create a situation in which “the president will decide to return to the conception of a mass mobilization army,” one in which the professional soldiers will be “just as much slave[s] as the draftee[s].” Some generals may be pleased about this, but the army they will be in charge of will be much less effective as a result.

‘Moscow is Losing Serbia Just as It has Already Lost Ukraine,’ Kirillova Says by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, July 13 – Russia and Serbia have a long history of warm and close ties, reflecting their similar situations and especially the propensity of people in each to draw parallels between the Serbian-Croatian wars and the Russian-Ukrainian ones, Kseniya Kirillova says. But despite that, Moscow is on its way to “losing Serbia just as it has already lost Ukraine.”
The reason for that, the US-based Russian analyst says, is that Moscow is overplaying its hand, supporting Serbian nationalists against the Serbian government which has shown itself more than willing to cooperate with Russia but does not want to break all ties with the European Union and the West (ru.krymr.com/content/article/27123352.html).
Moscow’s miscalculations, she suggests, is that Serbian nationalists like their Russian counterparts find it “very difficult” to imagine that members of their nation can live beyond their state borders and are inclined to declare territories beyond their own borders as “sacred” to their nation and state.
Like many Russians today, Serbs call for the annexation of Kosovo in the name of defending their co-nationals and demand that borders be redrawn on the basis of the ethnicity of residents and that they should all be included “in the borders of “’a single large country.’” And also like Russians, the Serbs feel that those attacking them represent “a mortal danger” to them.
In addition, both Serbs and Russians, the Russian analyst says, view their own sufferings as holy, “do not see their own guilt” for specific crimes, and “do not remember the evil which their people visited on others,” even though they “well remember” that which was imposed on them.
“The majority of Serbs do not recognize the crimes of Milosevic” or the genocide they carried out against Bosnia Muslims, Croatians and Kosovo Albanians. They talk about these events in religious terms and view themselves as having defended their own people against “’a satanic attack on the Orthodox world.’”
Thus, it is not surprising that “many Serbs sincerely approve the annexation of Crimea by Russia” and that Girkin-Strelkov, notorious for his actions in Ukraine, “fought on the side of the Serbs during the Bosnian war,” attracting “not a few Serbs” to join in the fight against Ukraine for Moscow.
And it would seem, Kirillova says, that “the policy of Putin and the spirit of Milosevic should tie Serbs and Russians even closer together.” But that has not happened, and it has not happened because Moscow has decided that the current Serbian government, despite its tilt to Russia on many issues, has not tilted far enough.
That sets the stage for Russia to lose Serbia as it lost Ukraine. “It is important to understand,” the Russian analyst says, “that Russia lost Ukraine not after the victory of the Euro-Maidan but only when it began a war against it.” Prior to that, Ukraine did not view Russia as an enemy the way it does now.
Moscow’s “all or nothing” attitude led it to invade Ukraine and it is leading it to back Serbian nationalists against the Serbian government. “The Serbian radicals promise a complete break with the EU, unqualified recognition of the annexation of Crimea and ‘Novorossiya,’ the fullest integration with Russia.”
All these things may be what the Kremlin wants, but they go far beyond what many Serbs do – and that is generating a kind of backlash among them and especially among members of the current government. What such people can see is that its deference to Moscow has only encouraged Moscow to push harder.
As a result, “despite the close historical, cultural and spiritual tie with Russia … and the imperial complexes of the Serbs themselves,” she concludes, “Serbia can become a beautiful European country: economically developed, educated and what is most important free.” In short, it can move in the same direction that Ukraine is moving -- and for the same reasons.
(For background on the complicated history of Serbs and Russians and how and why the relationship can go wrong, see this author’s “Dangerous Liaisons: Moscow, the former Yugoslavia, and the West,” in Richard Ullman’s The World and Yugoslavia’s Wars (New York: Council on Foreign Relations, 1996), pp. 182-197.)

Ukraine PM Addresses US Business Leadersby webdesk@voanews.com (Katherine Gypson)
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Ukrainians and Americans should stand shoulder to shoulder "to make the world really free." Yatsenyuk spoke at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Monday at a forum for U.S. and Ukrainian business leaders. The forum brought together business leaders from the two countries for high-level talks aiming to advance the Ukrainian economy, marking the first time the two business communities have officially met since Ukraine’s toppling of its pro-Moscow president in February of 2014. The Ukrainian prime minister called for his country's creditors to "be cooperative and collaborative," saying that this would be a key way of making Ukraine a success story. He also addressed the issue of corruption, acknowledging that the roots of the problem go deep in Ukraine, but he stressed that Kyiv is working to address it. "Please, American investors, jump in - we are happy to see you in Ukraine," Yatsenyuk said. Speaking before the prime minister, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said that Ukrainian leaders want to work with U.S. business leaders to "build a comprehensive pro-business agenda."

Kurdish Groups End Cease-fire With Turkeyby webdesk@voanews.com (Jamie Dettmer)
An umbrella network of Kurdish organizations that includes the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has announced a three-year-long cease-fire agreement with Ankara is now over, dealing a major blow to a protracted reconciliation process with Turkey's Kurds. The PKK-linked Kurdish Communities Union (KCK) declared an “end to the cease-fire” first agreed in 2012 and warned it would target "all the dams” in the country’s southeast. In the statement delivering a significant setback to the fragile off-and-on peace process, the KCK said Turkey's building of barracks, dams, and roads for military purposes had violated the truce. "The Turkish State took advantage of the cease-fire conditions, not for a democratic political resolution, but to gain an advantageous position in preparation of war by building dozens of guard posts, roads for military purposes and dams in order for a cultural genocide," the statement said. Unusual release The statement was first released to the Firat, a PKK-linked news agency based in Amsterdam. The PKK launched a three-decade-long self-rule insurgency in 1984. It tempered its aims subsequently and its imprisoned leader Abdullah Öcalan has been negotiating a resolution to the conflict. But in recent months the process has stalled with positions hardening on both sides. Some senior PKK officials have been expressing deep reservations about the process; and some fighters told VOA recently that they no longer believe in Öcalan’s peace strategy. “If he were released tomorrow, we would celebrate his freedom. But I can assure some fighters would try to assassinate him the following day,” one veteran fighter told VOA in the spring. He asked for his name not to disclosed in any reporting of his views. Positions have also been hardening on the government side. In March, the country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, dismissed the idea there is even a Kurdish problem, prompting fears that talk of a breakthrough by his ministers was misplaced. Erdogan argued Kurds already enjoy equal rights with the rest of the country and should not need anything else. “The only thing in their eyes is the Kurdish question. What are you talking about? There is no such thing, there is no Kurdish question,” he thundered in a speech. He added, “What Kurdish problem? ... What have you not got? ... What else do you want? For God's sake, what don't you have that we do, you have everything,” he said. KCK's invovlement Opposition politicians tied his nationalist dismissal of the Kurds to the June parliamentary elections. His ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its majority in the polls and is now immersed in coalition talks, with the most likely partner being the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), which wants to see an end to the peace process. Whether the PKK leadership will formally endorse the Union’s announcement of an end to the cease-fire remains unclear. It is also unclear why the PKK did not issue a formal statement itself. One Turkish intelligence official told VOA that Öcalan had not signed off on the threat and so hardliners had to “use the KCK as a vehicle.” The sentiments of frustration and deep anger contained in the weekend statement reflect the ire of many of the country’s 12 million Kurds towards Ankara. “The Kurdish movement has decided to not to accept this treatment any more,” said the PKK-dominated KCK. Kurdish anger has been boiling since the Turkish government refused to intervene militarily to help the Syrian Kurdish defenders of the border town of Kobani to see off a months-long siege by Islamic extremists. During the siege, which was lifted in January partly as a result of fierce U.S.-led coalition airstrikes on the extremists, Turkish jets launched air raids on PKK positions in southeast Turkey. The main Syrian Kurdish group is an offshoot of the PKK. Further anger was prompted last month when the Turkish President warned he would not allow the Syrian Kurds to create a state of their own along the border with Turkey. And clashes between the PKK and the Turkish military have increased in the southeast of the country, with both sides accusing the other of prompting the fights. "Our people have stood as human shields in the face of such moves that would start this war and many of our people, including the youth, lost their lives in the attacks by the state” the KCK said in the weekend statement. Trading accusations Since 1984, nearly 40,000 people have been killed in clashes with the PKK, which is designated as a "terrorist organization" by the international community, including the United States and the European Union. Monday, pro-Kurdish lawmaker Altan Tan accused the government of paving the way for a collapse of the peace process by acting slowly and dragging its feet in the talks. Those who want a [peace] resolution have to act swiftly to avert a rekindling of the insurgency, he says. On Sunday, a minibus carrying civilians came under fire when a group of Turkish gendarmes in Göle, a district in Ardahan province, clashed with PKK militants, leaving one person dead and two injured. Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed Monday the construction of dams and roads in the country's mainly Kurdish southeast would continue. "Governments build roads and dams," he said. "They don't back down through threats.” He accused the PKK of reneging on a pledge to withdraw armed fighters from Turkish territory.

Ukraine Nationalists: Country Headed for Coupby webdesk@voanews.com (Oleksiy Kuzmenko)
In recent days, the kind of armed violence previously limited to Ukraine's beleaguered east came within 30 miles of the country's European Union borders. In the city of Mukacheve, one person was killed in a Saturday gun fight between members of far-right nationalists known as Right Sector and security guards connected to a Ukrainian legislator. Right Sector, whose own volunteer battalion fights alongside government troops in eastern Ukraine, said its members were trying to confront a local crime boss and policemen it alleges were involved in large-scale smuggling in the region. But some witnesses say the shootout involving automatic rifles and grenade launchers appears to have been part of a criminal turf war over smuggling itself — particularly the illicit transit of cigarettes into EU markets. A number of civilians were injured and several police vehicles destroyed in the incident, while about a dozen Right Sector militants involved in the shootout managed to escape into the nearby mountains, evading troops sent to disarm them. Ukrainian officials reported Monday that two militants who security forces were closing in on had managed to escape by taking hostage a 6-year-old boy, who was later released. Following the incident, President Petro Poroshenko called for the militants involved in the shootout to be disarmed and detained for an unbiased investigation into what happened. Right Sector, however, mobilized its members across the country and launched protests demanding the removal of the Interior minister and officials in Ukraine's western regions. It also called on government forces to defy their superiors' orders, and some Right Sector units fighting in eastern Ukraine reportedly abandoned their positions to join protests in the capital, Kyiv. On Monday, Poroshenko discussed the violence in Mukacheve during a meeting with senior military and security officials. The Ukrainian president's website quoted him as saying the violence was the result of a fight for control over smuggling operations and reported that he called for "prompt and meaningful actions from law enforcement agencies in combating smuggling." The website also quoted him as saying that no political party in the country should have "armed cells," and that the law enforcement agencies must "perform their duty and disarm all illegal armed groups." Right Sector is essentially Ukraine's largest private army, boasting 10,000 armed members nationwide. In weeks preceding the incident, the group ramped up its anti-government rhetoric in Mukacheve, labeling the country's elected government "an inner occupying force" and suggesting it should be overthrown. In early July, Right Sector gathered several thousand supporters in Kyiv for a rally to protest what they called government "terror" against nationalists and the lack of reforms in the country, and to demand an offensive against pro-Russian militants in the east. Right Sector: coup is coming Last week, before the Mukacheve incident, VOA asked Right Sector spokesman Artem Skoropadsky to comment on the group's rhetoric and possible future course of action. "If there's a new revolution, Ukraine's President Poroshenko and his teammates won't be able to make it out of the country the way the previous president [pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych] did," Skoropadsky told VOA. "They can't expect anything other than an execution in some dark vault, carried out by a group of young officers of Ukraine's army and National Guard." Skoropadsky also said his organization is not calling for a coup, but that one is inevitable if the government remains deaf to the pleas of the volunteer battalions and the population. Since last year's Euromaidan demonstrations against the Yanukovych government and the start of war in the east, Ukraine has seen a drop in its living standards, a currency devaluation, price increases and rising unemployment. This has not translated, however, into mass anti-government sentiment. According to a recent poll, 32 percent of the population would re-elect Petro Poroshenko as president. In last year's parliamentary election, Right Sector was unable to win a sufficient number of votes to make it into the Rada — the Ukrainian parliament — as a political party. According to Anton Shekhovtsov, a visiting senior fellow at Britain's Legatum Institute who researches European radical movements, there is only a handful of far-right MPs in the Rada. Ultra-nationalists: defenders or curse? Andreas Umland, a German political scientist working in Ukraine, agrees that Right Sector lacks popular support, telling VOA that it consists of "a couple of thousand mainly young men and has limited appeal in broader society." Likewise, Ivan Yakovina, a reporter with Ukrainian weekly magazine Novoe Vremya, says neither the right-wing Ukrainian battalions and organizations, nor their political agenda, is very popular. "I believe that most Ukrainians, especially in relevant urban areas, have little appetite for a new round of instability after the revolution, loss of Crimea and the war," he told VOA. Adrian Karatnycky of the Washington, D.C.-based Atlantic Council said via Facebook that "vigilantism and far-right military formations" are Ukraine's "curse," and called for its government to launch an investigation into Right Sector activities. According to Karatnycky, high-ranking Ukrainian officials believe Right Sector "is heavily infiltrated by agent provocateurs, including those linked to the FSB" — the Federal Security Service, Russia's main state security agency. Right Sector is officially banned in Russia, which has long called the organization a threat to Ukraine's stability. Dmytro Riznychenko is a Ukrainian far-right blogger and veteran of the war in eastern Ukraine who is the spokesman for the Donbas-Ukraine battalion, a newly-formed armed unit backed by Kyiv. He told VOA last week that Ukraine's nationalists understand they lack popular support and thus could eventually try to seize power by force. "The only issue is to find the right figure to be the country's dictator and savior," he said. Riznychenko exemplifies how intertwined Ukraine's military is with nationalist organizations. Before joining a volunteer battalion in 2014, after which he fought and was wounded in the bloody battle of Ilovaisk, Riznychenko was a member of C14, which researcher Shekhovtsov believes to be a neo-Nazi paramilitary group. Riznychenko, however, told VOA his battalion is apolitical. Government forces Some observers say that despite their aggressive rhetoric, the far-right groups do not pose a real threat to the government. "While the Right Sector is flexing its muscles in the streets, the government is way stronger and feels no need to resort to posturing," Serhiy Leshchenko, a former investigative journalist who is now a member of the Rada, told VOA last week. Others say it is not clear whether the government could rely on the military to quash an attempt by nationalist groups to seize power. Indeed, Riznychenko said that the volunteer battalions and the military are closely connected and share the same concerns, disagreeing only over how to address them. Should it come to a face-off between Kyiv and the nationalists, he suggested, camaraderie and mutual respect forged in battle will trump government directives. "In April, the government made an attempt to disarm the Right Sector," Riznychenko told VOA. "Its base was surrounded and artillery was pointed at it, [but] rank-and-file government troops defied orders after exchanging calls with counterparts in the Right Sector.” Regardless of whether this account of what happened in April is accurate, the loyalty of government forces may again be put to the test if the current showdown over the Mukacheve shootout is not resolved peacefully.

At least 23 soldiers were killed when a military barracks collapsed in Russia's Omsk region, Russian news agencies said Monday.
A Ukrainian far right group demanded the resignation of the interior minister and said it would block roads around Kiev on Sunday in a standoff over a fatal gun battle that challenges the authority of the government.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed an order reducing the maximum number of staff on the Interior Ministry payroll by 110,000, or about 10 percent, according to a document posted on a government website on Monday.
Georgia has accused Russia of expanding the territory of the Moscow-backed breakaway republic of South Ossetia by illegally installing new border demarcation signs along the region's border.
