SEELANGS Digest - Ukraine - The other side of the story

Thu Feb 20 14:43:15 UTC 2014

Have you even read the attached messages? There is a TWO-line message there from Max Pizur, nothing but basic information. 

Anyone who reads Russian news and / or watches Russian TV already knows the other side of the story. I dare to suppose that the official Ukrainian news are rather similar to Russian on this point.
