Breaking: Kiev launches Military Action in Eastern Ukraine

Ok so I checked out the guest Max kaiser had on and here is what I found . newsvandal.com...
"I’ve got two new stories on the subtle partnerships behind the scenes of U.S. policy toward Ukraine and Russia.

The visible maneuvering over Crimea and the Cold War nostalgia expressed by belligerent U.S. politicians doesn’t quite match the corporate takeover we saw in Iraq. Rather, it feels more like Guatemala & the United Fruit Co. in 1953, or Iran & the CIA in 1953."

"To read my story on Condi Rice and Chevron’s new 50-year lease to develop shale gas in Ukraine go to BuzzFlash: The Business of America Is Giving Countries Like Ukraine the Business

Excerpt: Like most American Exceptionalists, Condi Rice’s bluster and posturing can be reverse-engineered to find the banal truth about U.S. foreign policy. For example, her steadfast belief that Ukraine “should not be a pawn in a great-power conflict but rather an independent nation” might have something to do with Chevron’s 50-year lease to develop Ukraine’s shale gas reserves.

When that lease was signed on November 5, 2013, it stoked Russian fears about losing its influence on, and a major gas market in, a former satellite. It also came on the eve of the much-disputed trade deal with the European Union that, once abandoned due to Russian pressure, led to the toppling of Ukraine’s government. Reuters characterized Ukraine’s “$10 billion shale gas production-sharing agreement with U.S. Chevron” as “another step in a drive for more energy independence from Russia.”

To read my story on growing investments by Cargill, Monsanto and Big Ag in the Soviet Union’s former breadbasket go to Consortiumnews: Corporate Interests Behind Ukraine Putsch

Excerpt: Despite the turmoil within Ukrainian politics after Yanukovych rejected a major trade deal with the European Union just seven weeks earlier, Cargill was confident enough about the future to fork over $200 million to buy a stake in Ukraine’s UkrLandFarming. According to Financial Times, UkrLandFarming is the world’s eighth-largest land cultivator and second biggest egg producer. And those aren’t the only eggs in Cargill’s increasingly-ample basket.

On Dec. 13, Cargill announced the purchase of a stake in a Black Sea port. Cargill’s port at Novorossiysk — to the east of Russia’s strategically significant and historically important Crimean naval base — gives them a major entry-point to Russian markets and adds them to the list of Big Ag companies investing in ports around the Black Sea, both in Russia and Ukraine.

Both stories touch on the “Deep State” of interlocking interests, political fixers and policymakers steering U.S. policy into a long-desired collision with Russia. Ultimately, it’s about opening the door to Ukraine’s resources for well-connected corporations." all the links to his articles can be found on the main link This link is to the artical on Cargil consortiumnews.com...

4. Ukraine already has the support of numerous nations around the world, and they will rally to help the country back onto its feet. The same cannot be said of Russia. It supposedly has China, but even China is not willing to support Russia openly at the UN.

Maybe I should have clarified this more:
I was talking about the Ukrainians (as in the Ukrainian-people) not the Illegitimate Government in Kiev.
True, the Government has support... but what about the PEOPLE?

All they have for now is:
Their constitution infringed, their Nation torn apart, a Government they didn't elect, and that Government already passes austerity bills demanded by the IMF.

All of the above is fact. Read it. Read it again and tell me you would accept this if it happened to you.

05:15 GMT:
Four people with gunshots have been taken to a hospital in Slavyansk overnight, RIA Novosti confirms.

04:53 GMT:
Five people have been reportedly killed in a shooting in Slavyansk, a city in eastern Ukraine held by anti-government protesters.

The fatalities came after a night attack on a protester checkpoint on the outskirts of the city, a Rossiya 24 news channel correspondent reported. Four cars drove by the checkpoint and opened fire at local residents holding it, killing three people and seriously injuring another one.

A group of protesters, who had firearms unlike those holding the checkpoint, was called from their camp in the city. They opened fire at the attackers, killing two of them, the report said.

The protesters in the confrontation reportedly captured the attackers’ two cars. Firearms, explosives and aerial photos of Slavyansk were discovered there.

10:02 GMT:

The OSCE mission in Donetsk does not possess evidence of any Russian troop presence in Ukraine, Interfax found out. The organization’s head, Klaus Zillikens, said that information appearing in the media regarding the number of victims of clashes in the Donetsk region is often unsubstantiated and not backed by evidence. This includes the Donbass region as well, Zillikens said.

09:26 GMT:

Anti-Maydan activist, Konstantin Dolgov, has been jailed for two months by Kharkov’s court for his role in coordinating the local protest movement, his lawyer told Interfax-Ukraine.

“We have five days to make an appeal,” Dmitry Tihonenkov, the lawyer, told the newspaper.

No details of the specifics of Dolgov’s crimes are being shared at present, but it is known that the charge is for the deliberate destruction of property

06:49 GMT:

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry has called on the former members of the Berkut riot police to stand up and fight against anti-Maidan protests in the East of the country.

Berkut were involved in confrontation with radical activists during the Ukrainian protests in February, defending governmental buildings in Kiev from crowds, pelting them with Molotov cocktails and stones. Protesters accused the police officers of brutality, so after Ukraine’s coup all Berkut units were disbanded.

Former Berkut members must forget that they used to be on different sides of the barricades and remember that “they are children of a united Ukrainian land, forget grievances, and leave behind all personal ambitions,” the ministry leaders said in a statement.

The statement says that “in February there was enough human wisdom to stop just short of fratricide. The plot to discredit Ukraine’s national statehood failed.” It’s not clear whether the ministry chose to dismiss the killing of more than 100 people during the Kiev protest as irrelevant, or decided to go against the position of the General Prosecutor’s office, which charged several former Berkut members with mass murder.

The attitude towards Berkut troops is one of several undermining the split in Ukraine following the February coup. Many anti-Maidan protesters hail them as heroes, who fulfilled their duty and resisted the violence of the radical activists. Some former Berkut members are reportedly taking active part in the protest movement in eastern Ukraine, which is defying Kiev.

11:14 GMT:
The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed outrage over the deadly gun battle on Saturday night in Slavyansk. It said Kiev must deliver on its commitment to de-escalate the violence .

Washington and the neo-con Zionist are going to cause Putin to make a move again .You would think they would have learned a lesson earlier on the Crimea move .Kiev are not winning any points towards legitimacy and will in the end be ousted ..

19:06 GMT:
The Ukrainian Interior Ministry has announced the creation of a special units corps to maintain order in the southeastern parts of the country.

The move is explained by the “externally inspired separatist terrorist attacks, creation of gangs financed from outside the country, and the threat to internal law and order” in those regions, the ministry’s website said.

18:40 GMT:
The self-defense forces in Ukraine’s Donetsk region are expecting assaults on checkpoints and administrative buildings they’re holding in the town of Slavyansk at 18:00 GMT, Itar-Tass reports.

The anti-government activists are on high alert, with preparations to repel the attack underway, said Vyacheslav Ponomarev, the “people’s mayor” of Slavyansk.

According to Ponomarev, unidentified armed men were spotted gathering outside the town.

The self-defense forces failed to establish their belonging to any units of the Ukrainian military and say they are militants from the radical Right Sector movement.

18:09 GMT:
Machine gun fire has been heard in the center of Slavyansk, a city in Ukraine’s Donetsk Region, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported from the scene.

18:09 GMT:
Anti-government demonstrators in Odessa have demanded the resignation of the head of the regional administration, Vladimir Nemirovsky, Vesti.ru reports.

Hundreds marched the streets of Odessa on Sunday, with the demonstration concluding with a rally at the city’s Kulikovo Field.

Protesters also showed their support to the idea of referendum on the federalization of Ukraine and urged the coup-imposed authorities to end political repressions.

18:09 GMT:
The self-defense forces in Ukraine’s Donetsk Region said that three of their checkpoint in the suburbs of the town of Slavyansk came under fire by unidentified gunmen, Interfax news agency reports.

23:50 GMT:
Educators from Ukraine’s eastern region of Lugansk have threatened the government with mass protests, chairman of the Lugansk Workers Union of Education and Science of Ukraine, Gennadiy Sorkin, said. He added that the decision was prompted by recent Cabinet decisions that would reduce the level of wages.

OSCE monitoring teams in Ukraine hope to get permission to visit the city of Slavyansk in Donetsk region “within several hours,” Michael Bociurkiw, media officer for the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, told Interfax-Ukraine.

So far, monitors have not been given access due to safety reasons and instability in the city.

"While we are aware of reports of violence in Sloviansk, our monitoring teams have been unable to access the location due to security concerns," Bociurkiw said. "We'll try to visit Sloviansk in the next few hours," he added, stating that regional and local authorities are conducting negotiations with protesters at a number of occupied buildings.

"I can tell you that patience and caution in negotiations are working to provide our monitors with access to people," he said.

21:46 GMT:
Ukraine’s Interior Ministry has called on former Berkut special forces troops to rejoin the Ukrainian military. However, the troops are viewing the invitation with skepticism, chairman of the Association of Veterans of Berkut, Vladimir Krashevsk, told RT.

Ukraine is now forming the National Guard forces with children and the elderly, who do not have any proper training, Krashevsky said, adding that this is the reason why they called upon Berkut to return – because they have very few professionals they can rely on. “I don’t think even one Berkut unit would respond to the invitation,” he stated.

You're not making much sense here.

You can't have it both ways, you can't possibly whine about the Kiev government being illegitimate (despite the fact that the elected politicians are STILL THERE, after voting to remove the leader who opened fire on his own people then ran away after allegedly agreeing to a compromise for fresh elections), while ignoring the fact that Russia has supported more criminal (as recognized under international law) military interference in regional governments of Ukraine.

Like it or not, Ukraine is in economic trouble, not least thanks to a corrupt and criminal leader they had to remove from power. A government is charged with making the best decisions for the people who elect them, and as the Ukraine parliament is STILL FULL OF ELECTED POLITICIANS, this was the choice they had to make.

I'm no fan of the IMF, but just like many other knee-jerk anti-American's and pro-Russians you are carefully constructing your own reality to suit your opinions. Everything you've said about Ukraine is so far wrong, factually wrong. You can try and twist reality to suit your argument all you like, but your opinions on this do not change the actual reality.

Yes, THAT constitution.

I'm aware about the several changes of Ukrainian constitutional law, since before 2004, including Yanukovich's “dictatorship laws” of January this year.

There are no doubt difficulties with it, but changes have to be made in accordance with the existing legal framework, and always legitimized by people. In order. Not in a chaotic situation like we have now, where people are dying.

You cannot seriously think the chaotic situation now is preferable to an orderly democratic process for the Ukrainian people, as was agreed on by the Weimar Triangle and Yanukowich on 20th february.

Why was this opportunity rejected? Who sabotaged this peaceful solution?

It is still important to acknowledge that dubious incidents also happened in the western part of Ukraine.

I didn't "whine" about anything.
You are welcome to contest my sources (which you didn't btw) and debate my position. No need to be rude.
I also don't ignore Russia's breach of international law... all sides did, and I said this several times.

No, I do recognize the fact that elections are planned.
You didn't adress the fact yet, that the impeachment of Yanukovich wasn't exactly legal.
And are you saying the Government acting since february is the same as the one elected in 2012??

I agree.
I'm generally pro-austerity, given the measures are thoroughly planned and aiming for sustainability and ecological soundness.
Still, making a deal with the IMF without the consent of the people is outright traitorous (not necessarily in legal terms, but morally).

I'm neither anti-American, nor pro-Russian. Why would you think that?
I'm very much against a single-sided view of the situation though, since the inevitable outcome of it would be war.
Again, no need to be rude or make this personal. If I'm wrong, please debate and address my sources.

Just as in politics and the ability of the party to throw some of their own under the bus I think that what we are seeing here is the Nazi group in Kiev actually killing some of their own and planting them in order to vilify the opposition in the east www.youtube.com... As we witnessed with them trying to play the Jew card I think this may in the end come back to bite them ..

What protesters being killed by people with tanks !

Just wait until Obama and his banker chums get to hear about this, he will soon sort it out.

Sorry what did you say, wrong type of protesters and we need to call them terrorists or separatists.

Yeah and that old lady with bright orange hair is clearly a Russian agent smuggles in from across the border because I can see she has stubble on her chin, your not fooling me.

Meanwhile pump prices are due to go up, it's called growing the economy because instead of adding the figures to the inflation number we just add it to the national GDP, us bankers are such smart people

a reply to: the2ofusr1

These nazi party members doing all the dirty work in the east are going to be left to run wild, both sides will be capturing the atrocities on camera and then just when the time is right they will be hunted down and killed like dogs because they have become an embarrassment to Brussels and are hated by people who simply want a vote in the east ukraine.

I can be a bit right wing myself but this lot don't seem to have a brain cell between them all.
