While the new president-elect of Ukraine promised on Monday to bring an end to the pro-Russia separatist movement in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force launched strikes on a rebel-held airport in Donetsk.

Petro Poroshenko, the new president, said he is willing to begin talks with Moscow and wants to negotiate an end to the insurgency, according to the Associated Press. Yet he also said he rejected negotiations with “bandits,” referring to the insurgents in the east.
The offer for talks was quickly welcomed by Russian officials, who have said they are ready to hold direct talks with the new president.
Still, he described the separatists as “Somali pirates” and the Ukrainian military launched attacks from fighter jets and military helicopters against the rebels in the airport in Donetsk.
Many flights to and from the airport were canceled or delayed and access was blocked by police, according to AP. Sustained artillery and gun fire was heard as dense black smoke rose from the airport and jets and helicopters flew overhead.
Paratroopers were also involved in the attack, according to Reuters.
The airstrike was launched by the military after they gave the separatists an ultimatum to lay down their weapons, which they ignored, according to Vladislav Seleznyov, a spokesman for Kiev’s anti-terrorist operation.

Won’t the US-proposed sanctions be the last straw for the already weakened world economy? To find this out, Sophie is joined by investment banker and financial advisor Jack Worthington on SophieCo.

In this in-depth interview on Elijah Johnson’s Finance and Liberty, James Corbett details the process by which Russia, China, Iran and other so-called “resistance bloc” nations are being driven into each other’s arms by the increasingly aggressive US-led NATO/IMF community. James explains how this is analagous to similar periods from recent history where an enemy was consciously and deliberately created by Western corporate and financial interests in order to justify the further spending in an ever-escalating takeover of global economic and political systems.

MUST SEE — You Decide: Are Claims of Fascism in Ukraine True or Russian Propoganda?
Global Research TV
May 8, 2014
The following is a short documentary about many of the people that have been described as “Euro-Maidan activists” and their activities inside Ukraine that the US, Britain, France, Germany, Poland and the European Union have supported.
Are the claims against that they are fascists or neo-Nazis and ultra-nationalists legitimate and accurate or are these claims, as the US Department of State says, Russian propaganda?
Viewers should decide for themselves after watching the footage.
