Washington Post: Rout has Ukraine pleading for peacekeepers
Ukraine’s leader urged the deployment of United Nations peacekeepers in the country’s easternmost regions to fortify a crumbling truce after government troops relinquished a strategic rail hub to pro-Russian rebels.
President Petro Poroshenko said a potential peacekeeping mission was part of his discussions last week with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, he said. Peacekeepers should be deployed along the front line and rebel-controlled border sections with Russia, Oleksandr Turchynov, the head of Ukraine’s security council, told reporters in Kiev.
WNU Editor: A tacit admission that they have lost the war, and they now want to freeze the situation on the ground.

WNU Editor,
So, that's a 180 on the Peacekeeper Mission from the heady days of the early summer,
And the renewed optimisim and plans after Minsk 1.
There is no way, UN Peacekeepers will deploy along the Republic's Borders with Russia.
They got their asses handed to them by the rebels and i don't think they want to try them again..
Brilliant military maneuvers and the burning desire to take back what was stolen from them ..
Victoria Nulland ie: USA invested 5 billion in this and lost it all .. lol
test
Putting UN peacekeepers .... zero chance of that happening.
WNU Editor,
I can see the "right mix" of UN Peacekeepers along the Line of Conflict, ensuring that the Heavy Weapons are pulled back and the SRG and the "National Guard" don't go mixing it up somewhere,
This would be Porshenko's best " protection" against Kormolovski and Pravy Sector using events in the LOC.
But not along the Russian border with the Republics.
