Don't know still a little early things can change even if the mood was better this morning when for a couple of hours Donetsk and Luhansk before voting awaited Kiev acting authorities to decide on a freeze of military operations. It started well with "The Kiev authorities are ready to hold a peaceful dialogue with federalization supporters in Ukraine’s south-east in order to reconcile the conflict and avoid further victims. Deputy Secretary of Ukraine’s Council for National Security and Defense Viktoria Syumar made this statement on Thursday.

“Everyone is tired of war: both law enforcers and civilians. Therefore, where it is possible to solve the conflict through a dialogue, the Ukrainian authorities are ready to do this,” she is quoted as saying by Ukraine’s UNIAN news agency." (http://en.itar-tass.com/world/730860) but soon secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Andriy Parubiy told a media briefing on Thursday. “We will continue the operation. We are sure that it will be held successfully and will bring an expected effect,” he added (http://en.itar-tass.com/world/730870) it dampened the mood among the Donetsk council feelings about Kiev intentions towards the region. Added to the rumour (unchecked) that 4000 Right Sector militia men were on their way to Odessa and two small printing businesses vandalised in Donetsk it achieved to convince both Donetsk and Luhansk to go ahead with the planned referendums scheduled on Sunday. It looks a bit like one step up two down but for Kiev the risk to be involved in another Odessa grows as long as the so called punitive operations goes on and spread the feeling of lawlessness and encourage disaffected individuals to take matters in their own hands under wartime sense of impunity. Another event of that nature has the power to ignite a full scale civil war.
