Finland Fears Crisis as Russia Sanctions Bite
Nordic Country Warns That its Already Struggling Economy Could be Pushed Toward Disaster

Finland has warned that its already struggling economy could be pushed toward disaster as Western sanctions against Russia, the Nordic country's third biggest export market, begin to have an effect.

"There is a possibility of a crisis if the situation continues to develop as it is doing," Prime Minister Alexander Stubb told reporters late Wednesday....

He added that the food ban would knock about 5% off total exports to Russia if it continued for a year—0.5 percentage point off Finland's exports as a whole. "This is not a catastrophe yet," he said. "If this lasts more than 12 months, then we are in trouble."......

Mr. Stubb said that the effect of the Russian sanctions in monetary terms were hard to assess, according to the Finnish public broadcaster Yle. The prime minister added that he expects the direct effects of the sanctions to be limited, but in the long term, the indirect results to be significant, according to Yle.

Good catch @Akim.

However, you should look closer to your home.

This is the flag of your country, in the sense, Ukraine was part of Russia during the times of the Tsars.

Interestingly, it is Oleg Tsarev who is presenting this flag.

"Democracy" and "peace," EU style.

"The Ukrainians are free to join the EU, or die" - everyone, whether children, or old men and old women. No exception.

Surprisingly, this picture was published by the British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC).

Since before you were born.

Try not to flame-bait, or else, you will be sent to the infirmary. Nobody here is obligated to deal with your taunts.

I am aware of that. Thank you.

Top down also works with the flags of Serbia and the Russian Federation.

OSCE representative calls on Ukrainian authorities to drop legislative provisions endangering media freedom and free flow of information

VIENNA, 12 August 2014 – OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatović expressed her concern about a draft law on sanctions registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 8 August and approved in the first reading today.

The draft law allows authorities to prohibit or restrict television and radio channel retransmission; restrict or terminate media activities, including on the Internet; restrict or prohibit the production or distribution of printed materials; and restrict or terminate telecommunication services and public telecommunications network usage.

"I call on the members of the Verkhovna Rada to drop the provisions of the law endangering media freedom and pluralism and going against OSCE commitments on free expression and free media," Mijatović wrote in a letter to Oleksandr Turchinov, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada, today.

"I fully understand the national security concerns expressed by the Government of Ukraine in relation to the ongoing conflict, but this should not justify a disproportionate restriction on freedom of expression and freedom of the media," Mijatović said. "The measures included in the draft law represent a clear violation of international standards and thus directly curtail the free flow of information and ideas – the concept that lies at the heart of free expression and free media. The draft law effectively reverses much of Ukraine's progress in media freedom."

Mijatović also reiterated her firm belief that in difficult and sensitive situations, such as Ukraine is in at the moment, media freedom and a plurality of opinions must be protected.

"All citizens must have the right to access all available information, irrespective of its source, without interference from the authorities and regardless of geographical or political boundaries, so that universally recognised human rights and democratic processes can be reaffirmed and strengthened," Mijatović added.

All members of Parliament who would not vote for this law were warned, that they would become enemies of Ukrainian people and their names will be published.

Finally, we have lived in the Polish media as kind and fair analysis of the situation on the front in Noworosji.

"In the last 24 hours stuck inside the Ukrainian assault divisions of Donetsk, Gorłówki and Iłowajska. In bloody battles for the strategic way H21 Ukrainians lost previously acquired for the price of big losses, the entries in Miusinsku. On Wednesday night the ATO admitted that the offensive in Krasnyi Luch and anthracite exhausted their resources. Ukrainians are the Miusinska, but in the city is once again the rebels.
