Russia Is Building A New Tank And It Sounds TERRIFYING ‪#‎Ukraine‬
It's not secret that Vladimir Putin has been flexing his military muscles for a couple years now. But earlier this week during a rehearsal for their annual Victory Day parade this Saturday, Russia showed the world a brand new feature of its defense program: The new Russian T-14 Armata tank. Vocativ made a video about the new war machine that you can watch above. Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Defense has posted pics of the big unveiling. RT.com has more details:
Armata is actually a tracked platform capable of hosting a tank, APC, artillery piece and missile launcher. The Armata medium tank is a cutting-edge vehicle with an unmanned turret armed with a brand new 125 mm smoothbore cannon, which is the most powerful gun of its kind to date in terms of muzzle energy.
The Washington Times notes that Putin wants 2,300 Armata vehicles ready by 2020.

In Ukraine, blame for the Kalashnikov and Buzyna murders, along with a string of other possibly-related murders, generally falls into two categories. One is that that the Russian Special Services are behind the killings in an FSB provocation to cause unrest in the country's capital.
The other is that the ultra-nationalist Pravy Sektor and its affiliates are behind the killings, which Moscow suggests and which would seem, on its face, the logical choice of usual suspects.

So how are former Soviet-occupied countries dealing with Russia's Victory Day celebrations this weekend?

An undersea power cable aimed at reducing the Baltic states' energy dependence on Russia is the latest point of friction in a region increasingly enveloped in a Cold War atmosphere.

In this time leading up to the commemoration of the end of WWII, it is important to remember not just how the war ended, but how it began.
Though Russia glories in its victory over Nazi Germany in the "Great Patriotic War", no mention whatsoever is made of how the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east just 16 days after Germany invaded from the west. And all this was thoroughly premeditated and arranged per agreement between Berlin and Moscow.
The secret Molotov-Ribbentrop pact had arbitrarily divided the otherwise peaceful and sovereign nations of Eastern Europe into spheres of influence between Germany and the Soviet Union.
And, in an act of pure, unprovoked aggression, the Soviet army invaded Poland on September 17th, 1939 without so much as a formal declaration of war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland
Thus, Russian fascism was responsible for the start of WWII in 1939 - there was no foreseen war between Germany and the Soviet Union at that time. The fact of the Russian victory over traitorous Germany ought not to obscure Russia's primal, unprovoked aggression against Poland, the Baltic states, Finland, etc.

Crimean 'prosecutor' warns Ukrainians will be jailed
Natalya Poklonskya, installed as Crimean 'prosecutor' after Russia's invasion of the peninsula has warned that there is plenty of room in Crimean SIZO or remand prisons for all "Ukrainian nationalists and radicals" should they get to Crimea. She believes, however, that the said Ukrainians will "draw the correct conclusions" and not try to come.

What you also notice is the information/propaganda war which is coming from our eastern neighbour, namely Russia. Clearly, we do not want to engage with Russia in the information war, but we want to give opportunities to the citizens of the EaP states to have as many alternative sources of information as possible, which will allow them to understand the situation better.

he Problem with Hybrid Warfare
"Europe is now a petri dish for hybrid war."
"The concept, according to this Estonian official, allows NATO to avoid action because a range of activities – from the aggressive use of disinformation by Moscow, to economic pressure, to bribery and threats, to use of "locals" to stir up protests – become conveniently categorized as being under the threshold of war. Indeed as one expert, James Sherr, has observed, in the hands of Russia hybrid warfare could "cripple a state before that state even realizes the conflict had begun," and yet it manages to "slip under NATO's threshold of perception and reaction." Sherr is right."
"The hybrid warfare concept gives many in the West the luxury of picking and choosing from a range of actions – a media campaign here, a cyber-intrusion there (and even the occasional political assassination) – and interpreting them as one-off isolated events. There is no need to connect the dots. Indeed, it is often easier to look at the unfinished page, suggestive of possibilities that become clear only with a deliberate completion of the picture. Inadvertently, the flexibility of the instruments inherent in hybrid warfare tempts policy makers to detach the specific tactics from the overarching political goals that drive a war. A war fought with hybrid means becomes thus an incomprehensible sequence of improvisations, disparate actions along various geographic fronts – "humanitarian convoys" followed by conventional war with artillery and tanks in Eastern Ukraine, "peacekeeping operations" in Transnistria, cyber-attacks in Estonia, vast disinformation campaigns on mass media, seemingly random forays of heavy bombers in the North Sea, submarine games in the Baltic Sea, and so on – that appear vaguely connected. But they are a part of a whole."
http://warontherocks.com/2015/04/the-problem-with-hybrid-warfare/
Let me state the obvious. Russia's hybrid war is being waged on multiple fronts by multiple armies. We all know about the troll army in Leningrad and the propagandists posing as journalists on RT and regular Russian television. What we don't see is the army of economists and lawyers, who are most certainly working behind the scenes. That is an area where Ukraine needs real assistance. We focus on aid for the military, but what about lawyers donating billable hours to make a case against Russia in international tribunals? What about economists devising incremental sanctions, to keep raising the cost for Putin? Russians have been playing the game of deceipt, international pressure and manipulation for centuries. It's time to make them reap what they sow!
