The struggle of factions within the Ukrainian government, the pressure of American curators, the IMF's threats – this is the informational background of the Ukrainians' life. Another round of scandal was the removal of Sobolev from the post of the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Combating Corruption. 

On December 8, an extended meeting of the Committee for Public Support for the inhabitants of south-eastern Ukraine was held in the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. As part of the event, the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin made a presentation on “The further development of public interregional cooperation with public organizations of the DPR”.

On December 8, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation hosted an extended meeting of the Committee for Public Support of the Southeast of Ukraine. The event was devoted to discussing the issues of providing humanitarian assistance to the people of the Donbass, as well as further development of interregional cooperation with public organizations of the DPR and the LPR.

The first, in a while, meeting of the heads of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is a positive step, but the effectiveness of negotiations to resolve the situation in Ukraine is not yet clear. It was stated by the plenipotentiary representative of the DPR in the Contact group on Donbass Denis Pushilin to RIA Novosti.

After the 'Maidan', the rapid de-industrialization of Ukraine began. By the fourth year, the most sensible part of Ukrainian experts and politicians even began to understand that this is a road to nowhere. They talked about turning Ukraine into an agrarian country. 

Pensions, salaries and social benefits, as well as humanitarian assistance, continue to be provided in the DPR by the Russian Federation, therefore the stoppage of food supplies by the UN is not critical. It was stated by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin in the interview to the information and analytical publication “Ukraine”.

It is no secret that the Ukrainian politicum is not independent but dependent on the West and, in particular, on the United States. The only thing the West could not foresee was the level of corruption, greed and foolishness of Ukrainian politicians. And this mistake of foreign curators is coming at a high cost now. 

Following the results of the parliamentary hearings on the "Concept of Criminal Policy", the discussers presented their recommendations.

On December 5, in Minsk, the regular meeting of the Contact Group on the peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass was held. The agenda of the meeting included issues of compliance with the ceasefire regime, the implementation of agreements on the withdrawal of prohibited weapons and the disengagement of forces and facilities. A discussion of the conditions for preparing the exchange of prisoners also took place.

The topic of the anti-corruption struggle in Ukraine has already bored to death not only Ukrainians, but also curators of the Ukrainian politum from the United States. And it's not just because the government is not able to create anti-corruption legislation, the problem is that in the 'independent', the fight is not really about corruption: 'anti-corruptionists' are fighting other 'anti-corruptionists', while bribe-takers are still free.
