Were it not for severe professional implications, I might be all about pursuing Ukrainian matchmaking services.  They have them some HOTTies. 

Have you done a rent vs. buy analysis? I mean, why buy when you can rent at bargain basement prices.

No thanks, not into human trafficking.

Is there still heavy fighting going on?  I don't recall hearing any news of any cities being captured in a very long time...

I was just asking myself that question.

Need to find a up to date analysis of the state of play, anyone read one recently?

According to my ukrainian colleague they're still regularly shooting at each other but not moving anywhere. Just doing their job

Though some locally famous guy died in the fighting recently. A pianist  iirc?

Don't know about a pianist, but Pavel Sheremet, a journalist, was killed by a car bomb: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/world/europe/pavel-sheremet-kiev-car-bomb.html

Inhuman trafficking is so superior.

I think you impaired your ability to play the moralist when you were talking about rescuing a lady, probably out of your league in normal circumstances, from a war torn failed state on the condition that she sleeps with you/becomes your wife.

Dang.

Looks like Putin is preparing for a major escalation of the war in Ukraine.

The Georgian thing started during the olympics too, iirc. If the Russian team is going to get neutered in the Olympics, I guess Putin needs to find another venue of competition.

Not really, no.

Russia is accusing Ukraine of attacking the Crimea. Thread title might need an update for the year soon.

Bastards!

Looks like the Russians are trying to get that last bit of territory before Hilary Clinton becomes President.

What makes you think it'll be the last.  They won't stop.

This. They lost like 1/3 of their territory and almost 50% population when their empire collapsed in 1991. There is plenty more.
