Sådan herre, sådan hund

Pro-Russian fighters of Vostok (East) battalion rest in the regional state building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk

The movement of irregular forces across the border appears to have been stepped up and Russian citizens have assumed the leadership of the insurgents. Mr Borodai himself is from Moscow - as are some key aides. Some fighters have admitted to being from Chechnya and other parts of Russia, suggesting that a steady drip-feed of men and equipment across the border is keeping the rebellion alive.
If the new elected president Poroshenko and the EU sign an association agreement, the prediction is that Russia would react by “telling Ukraine to ‘go ahead, be our guests - but this will divide Ukraine’. The subtext will be ‘we’ll make damn sure it divides the country’.”
Separatisterna börjar också kräva in skatt från företag. De plundrar även affärer och tar vad de vill ha.
