Bitcoin Malware Attack Exploits Russia-Ukraine Crisis

The program secretly installs a malware package called Kelihos. This malicious program, first identified nearly five years ago, is capable of stealing the contents of a user’s bitcoin wallets, among other negative effects.
“We, a group of hackers from the Russian Federation, are worried about the unreasonable sanctions that Western states imposed against our country. We have coded our answer and bellow [sic] you will find the link to our program. Run the application on your computer, and it will secretly begin to attack government agencies of the states that have adopted those sanctions.”

Russian Ruble Tumbles To Record Low Against Dollar

The Russian Ruble has collapsed this morning to its weakest against the USDollar on record. The drop - similar in size to the drop when US and Europe unleashed Sanctions 3.0 - has sent USDRUB to 36.89. Russian stocks are down 2.2% this morning - biggest drop in 3 weeks - and Russian bonds are weaker (10Y +20bps back above 5%). We can't help but think somewhere Shinzo Abe is getting ideas about how to really devalue his nation's currency to competitiveness...

Ruble at record lows against Dollar.

Seems like the rebels don't have enough manpower to take Mariupol. 

They have taken a few of the neighboring towns and villages, but the city itself remains firmly in the Ukrainian control. Worser still, some of the NAF fighters are trapped in the Demyanovka - Cheryopolye pocket. Had they captured Mariupol, then it would have been much easier to get supplies from Abkhazia.

Indeed.  TAKE Mariupol

New Satellite Imagery Exposes Russian Combat Troops Inside Ukraine 28 Aug 2014

Mons, BELGIUM – NATO released new satellite images on Thursday, 28 August 2014, that show Russian combat forces engaged in military operations inside the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The images, captured in late August, depict Russian self-propelled artillery units moving in a convoy through the Ukrainian countryside and then preparing for action by establishing firing positions in the area of Krasnodon, Ukraine.

About borders.
You are not very good in geography. Take a look in map.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in your opinion or your knowledge of geography. I've asked you the direct question. Have you ever seen ukrainian border or not? It's a simple question, the possible answers are "yes" or "no".

You are not very smart, that you couldn't guess that I meant "führer".

Then you need to know that not very smart is much better than not smart at all.

About war..
De Facto it is a war ("De Facto" will be too difficult for you to understand   "

What a joke. In case if it's too difficult for you:

1) There is no such thing as "de facto war" defined by the constitution, there is only "state of emergency".
2) Mobilization is strictly prohibited while there is no state of emergency has been declared;
3) It's not allowed to use armed forces for dealing with internal affairs while there is no state of emergency has been declared.

So you and your "government" have only two options left:

1) Publicly admit that you're lying about "anti-terrorist operation";
2) Publicly admit that you have performed an illegal mobilization and then admit that you're using armed forces illegaly.

Check mate. Maybe it's time to read your own constitution? I've read regional and federal constitutions when I was 11 years old, for example...

"You even have no idea that Timofejev is a russian surname.."
My father is Russian. I live in Kiev. I know something about war, so I am for peace.

You don't know anything about the war or ethnic cleansing. You never were visited by a couple of guests with AK74 at 3:00 AM and you never sold your home&land to them. I'm 100% sure about that.

By the way, I think that it's possible to talk directly, I even can introduce you to really not brainwashed person who live in Kiev too. I can ask him for permission if you wish... So what is your answer?

so that is a reason I called you "brainwashed", because you are supporting intervention in Ukraine.

The problem is that you're pretending to be objective while you even too lazy for reading your own constitution. And who is brainwashed here?

2) of course you can introduce with your KGB guy... I have no doubt about that.

You are well trained, but still rather dumb, because you underestimate me. Ask your boss to call for somebody who is better qualified

Mariupol rallies for Ukraine as russia's troops close in only miles away.

[bryant.coleman]

The town of Volnovakha is still controlled by the Kiev forces. If the rebels take control of Volnovakha, then supplies can be moved through the highway from Donetsk to Mariupol.  

They are fighting for almost 5 days now, but still there has been no change in the ground situation.

And a very dangerous situation is developing in the Dokuchaevsk - Styla pocket. The Kiev forces have taken control of a few villages to the East and they are only a few kms from the Amvroseevka pocket.

That "transatlantic coalition" can run into a big slap on the face if the Russians are really there. Russians soldiers are much better trained and far better armed than those guys in Libya or Afghanistan.

Everything is much worse. The most of members of so called transatlantic coalition don't have an immunity against a majority of endemic microorganisms. Just one example, drinking a glass of water from the Rostov city's public water supply is absolutely harmless to the locals but often results with the severe diarrhea for guests from Texas. That was accidentally checked few times.   So if you're visiting russia, ukraine or another eastern european country then it's strictly recommended to boil the water before drinking. If you have no plans to spend a few days in the toilet, of course.

There are also some much less pleasant things like crimean hemorragic fever or omsk hemorragic fever with ebola-like symptomatics...

I don't think that NATO will ever send any military force to Ukraine. Poland, Romania.etc might pressure for a NATO intervention, but all the main "donor" nations (France, Germany, Italy.etc), with the exception of the UK are going to oppose this measure. In case if NATO sends any of their jets to bomb the rebels in Ukraine, then not a single one will come back. Russia will immediately arm the rebels with S-400 Triumf SAMs.

I've heard those myths and heard them again busted time over time.
No nato plane should have come back from Serbia , no plane or tank from Irak none from Afghanistan yet all got crushed in one week

s-400? never tested in actual battle?
You compare an army that has been tested in battle conditions for the last 70 years with all the modern technology with an army which is fed propaganda each day that they are the best with no combat experience and with 30-40 years old weapon systems.

And don't forget..
Nobody had a clue about the f117 the b2 or the sr-71

And all those are retired but money keep going into the so called "black projects".
The russian won't even know what hit them till the war is over.

Serbians never had any S-400 or S-300 systems. However they managed to down some planes (f117 incl.) by using ancient S-3 SAMs. I'd suggest to do some research on those "30-40 years old weapon systems". BTW underestimating an opponent isn't a wise thing.

The iraqis had state of the art russian equipment, they spent a fortune on it.

Russian technology has proven itself to be JUNK. Believe your "Pravda",

Research on what....
Neither the s300 not the s400 have seen actual combat

They might be formidable but just as well they might prove useless and with the recent wars seeing tons of tons of Russian weapons turned into scrapmetal by the us forces I incline to the second of those two
