Comes now Chancelière Merkel, whose Opinion on the Subject, so far as I know, had not been asked, affirming that "Ukrainean territorial integrity is crucial,"

and calling for a bi-lateral ceasefire and a contrôle effectif of the border between Ukraine and Russia, "since the 'state' is fighting against a separatist insurrection's pro-Russian army in the east."

Poroshenko, gratified but still hungry, then said, "It's time that Peace come to the Donnbass.  The Ukrainean powers will do everything with our European partners to make sure that happens.  But not at the expense of sovereignty, or of the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine."

In other words, the slaughter, by the jumped-up neo-Nazi régime in Kiev, backed by NATO, of pro-Russian and Russian-speaking civilians, will continue full bore.

What is this  reeking bullshit about "Territorial Integrity"?  Since when did Ukraine--maybe the most chewed-over, split up and reassembled territory (this side of Poland) in the world--acquire Integrity?

And why is Frau Merkel so complacent and complicitous in this genocidal farce?  What does the CIA/NSA have on the mealy-mouthed little whore?
