Jatsenjuk offers to conduct an economic experiment in Donets and Lugansk:

During the same round table today he offered to give Russian language special status and to give amnesty to the rebels if they lay down their weapons. For some reason no one in the Eastern regions believes his promises.


On the other side of Ukraine and across the border. Two plaincloth people without ids were stopped by Transnistrian border patrol. These people said they are from Ukrainian border patrol and lost their way.

The united army of South-East denied Kiev's claims that their leader got arrested:

Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note of protest to Russia in connection with worsening conditions on the borders.

I guess they they want to blame Russia for the increased number of raids against Russian control points?  


And the presidential elections are in one week, but:
Self-proclaimed Donetsk Republic to ignore Ukraine presidential poll – PM
http://rt.com/news/159636-donetsk-election-presidential-ukraine/

“There won’t be any presidential elections on the territory of the republic,” announced Aleksandr Borodai, who was elected leader of the self-proclaimed republic on Friday.

“Here is a sovereign state – Donetsk People’s Republic. We are entitled to decide ourselves what will be done on our territory,” the republic’s press-service told Itar-Tass on Saturday. “We consider Ukraine’s attempt to have elections here as an activity of another state on an occupied territory.”

Eastern Ukraine should not lend any credence to the rogue regime in Kiev by participating in these so-called elections which will only solidify the Right Sector grip on the country.
 

The election will be a farce b/c all the candidates are US puppets so what kind of choice is that . . . vote for puppet #1, #2 or #3?

Whatever people in east Ukraine need to do to escape from US domination and control, do it. Don't be a victim of US crony crapitalism system.

They will never be Russia

They will never be Russia

They were Russia up until 1917. They are still Russia in their minds.
In history, never say never. Borders are not written in stone. USA proves that all over the globe each year.

Meanwhile, the Jewish community of Lugansk demands oligarch Igor Kolomoysky to be disassociated from his criminal activities.

Meanwhile, the Jewish community of Lugansk demands oligarch Igor Kolomoysky to be disassociated from his criminal activities.

Tired of Kolomoysky's double talk. He is against Eastern Ukrainians holding additional passports (mostly Russian), but he himself possesses an Israeli passport. Is he ready to give up his additional passport?

My husband accidentally ran into his old friend today in Moscow, with whom he had studied at the military academy and has not seen since. During their conversation, as it usually happens in such situations, “all at once,” the friend asked my husband “if he hadn’t divorced from his Banderite-wife.” After hearing that he hadn’t, his classmate was very surprised and with full seriousness advised him to do so as soon as possible because “these Khokholo-fascists can kill you in your sleep, ” and “how do you not fear that she’ll poison you?” My husband just laughs at such “tips,” but for me it’s no laughing matter anymore.

The Kremlin has achieved full success in its information war against its own people–the mental gap between Ukrainians and Russians has come to a very primary, “grassroots,” level. All my relatives and friends in Kyiv have relatives who are either Russian or are living in Russia, and even more frequently, both of these options simultaneously. And this division into “what’s ours–what’s theirs” that has happened now in Russia has virtually affected almost every Ukrainian family. Russians don’t feel it that way and don’t understand it yet. And I am no longer sure if they will ever understand it.

His films participated in a prestigious independent film festivals as Rotterdam IFF, GoEast IFF, Wiesbaden IFF, German and Molodist IFF, Kyiv Ukraine.

DMITRY TYMCHUK: Tonight terrorists preparing to withdraw special cargo into Russia.




According to the Information Resistance group, tonight terrorists are preparing to withdraw convoys with special cargo from the territory of Ukraine into the territory of Russia.

In particular, they will remove the dead bodies of terrorists killed in armed clashes with Ukrainian law-enforcers. There are several hundred corpses.

According to our data, the passage of convoys of corpses across the State border is planned for the Luhansk Oblast [region].

Earlier, during withdrawals after clashes with security forces, terrorists have always sought to take the bodies of the dead terrorists with them–to avoid their identification as citizens of Russia and members of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
