On Tuesday, Aleksandr Danilyuk, the coördinator of the extremist Ukrainian movement Spilna Sprava (Common Cause) announced that it’d dismantle its tent city on the Maidan in Kiev; it’s going to start training guerrillas to fight Russian forces, saying, “In case of a war with the Russian Federation, the regular army isn’t efficient enough, which the Ukrainian armed forces command also admitted. The organisation should concentrate on preparations for and coördination of actions of special units capable of conducting warfare on enemy-occupied territory. Unfortunately, most of the Ukraine could potentially become such territory”. Spilna Sprava would keep only an information centre and a guerrilla mobilisation point at the Maidan. Spilna Sprava said also that it’d continue occupying the Central Elections Commission building to watch the presidential elections scheduled for 25 May.

Turchinov, the junta chieftain, declared mobilisation TWICE. In both cases, very few, if any, reservists reported for duty, and the junta lacked the police power to enforce its ukase. Do note well that this received no media attention in the West… nor has it slackened Western efforts to prop up their “sick man” client puppet junta (indeed, it may have intensified them). This means that the junta has no real military or police power to back its “authority”. Ergo, it’s preparing terrorist cells to strike at Russia and Russians after a foreseen (and foreordained) defeat. That is, the USA is helping to organise a new OUN and UPA… and we know what those terrorist bands did. The USA doesn’t have a “Global War Against Terror”… it has a “Global War Against Working People”, and this proves it. It means that Langley is preparing a Ukrainian al-Qaeda (Ulster’s sad history during the Troubles proved that one doesn’t need a large group to disrupt a society… all that kerfuffle was due to 500 hardcore IRA Provos backed by about ten times that number of supporters… Langley will find that number of traitors and murderers, to be sure)… does this mean that Orthodox people should leave the CIA’s service? I’d say yes…

On Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MID) expressed concern over a clear attention deficit in the USA and the EU to ultranationalist elements in the executive bodies of the present Ukrainian junta. The MID said, “Members of the all-Ukrainian Union Svoboda hold some key positions in Kiev, including Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister. This blatant short-sightedness is difficult to explain; apparently, it’s connected with continuing keenness for geopolitical schemes with an anti-Russian tilt”.

Chernomorneftegaz (Black Sea Oil and Gas), nationalised by the Republic of the Crimea (RK), fully meets the Peninsula’s requirements for natural gas, RK Chairman of Government Sergei Aksyonov told a talk show broadcast live on Pervy Kanal (Channel One). In response to a question about the RK’s dependence on natural gas supplies from the Ukraine, Aksyonov said, “Annually, Chernomorneftegaz produces over 1.5 billion cubic metres of gas, with Crimea’s requirement amounting to about one billion cubic metres. There aren’t any doubts that we can prouduce gas on our own. As far as electricity is concerned, the people of Crimea paid for it in full, so, they have no debts to Ukrainian supplier companies. Accordingly, there aren’t any grounds for cutting off our electricity supply. We will regard all matters about a cutoff of power supply in such a case as sabotage”. He emphasised that the RK is creating backups, in particular, making 900 diesel generators available.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitri Peskov told the BBC that Ukrainian forces in the RK need to make a choice… they could join the Crimean forces, which would become part of the Russian army, or “be free to leave the peninsula”. He said that Russia wasn’t going to start military operations in the Eastern Ukraine. Peskov said that Russia wasn’t eyeing military operations in the Eastern Ukraine, but that Russia would do everything possible, using the entire range of legal instruments consistent with international laws, to protect and stretch out a helping hand to the Russians who live there. As for the death of a Ukrainian serviceman in Crimea on Tuesday, he said that RK forces faced provocations from those wishing to cause conflict. Reportedly, now, about 20,000 Ukrainian servicemen are in the Crimea.

On Tuesday, according to the MVD RK, sniper fire in Simferopol killed two people and wounded two others; specifically, an RK Opolchenie member and a Ukrainian serviceman died, whilst another Opolcheniets and another Ukrainian serviceman suffered wounds. An MVD RK media release pointed up, “According to preliminary reports, the shots were fired from one place in two directions. Someone fired from the window of a partly constructed building in the immediate vicinity of a military installation, at Opolchenie checking a report that armed people entered that building. The other shots were fired at a nearby Ukrainian military installation”. The MVD RK didn’t rule out that the incident was a preplanned provocation.

Late on Tuesday, at a concert on Moscow’s Red Square, President Vladimir Putin urged the people of the Crimea and Sevastopol to work jointly with Russia on pressing tasks, expressing confidence that they’d cope with them, as they were now reunited. He said, “We’ve done a lot together, but we have even more to do, we have a lot of tasks facing us, but I know, and I’m sure that we’d overcome will solve everything, as we’re together. Today is a joyful festive day; after a difficult and exhausting voyage, the Crimea and Sevastopol returned to their home port, to their native shores, to their port of registration… Russia. I thank those in the Crimea and Sevastopol for holding to a consistent and resolute position, for their clearly stated will to be together with Russia. We worried a lot about them; Russia answered them warmly, turned towards them, opening its heart and soul. The developments in the Ukraine seriously concern us, but I believe that the Ukraine will overcome all difficulties. We aren’t just neighbours, we’re closest family, and our future success depends on us… both on Russia and on the Ukraine”. Putin pointed up the courage of the people of Sevastopol and the Crimea, thanking them “for not betraying the memory of their ancestors, for maintain their love for our Russian motherland through the years, through decades”.

Svoboda pigs assault the head of NTKU… THIS is what John McCain and Victoria Nuland slobber over (Quo vadis, Potapov?). THIS is why Orthodox people should resign Langley’s service…
______________________________
A group of far-right radicals claiming to act on behalf of a “Freedom of Speech and Information Committee” violently assaulted the chairman of the Ukrainian National Television Company (NTKU) in his own office, forcing him to sign a letter of resignation for alleged pro-Russian propaganda. They shouted at Aleksandr Panteleymonov, the KTKU chairman, punched him in the face, and threatened him with more violence to make him step down amidst allegations of airing anti-Ukrainian content. Footage posted on the web showed a group from the neofascist Svoboda party pushing Panteleymonov and yelling at him, “Write your resignation! Sit down! I told you; sit down! You’re feasting in my Ukraine! Here’s a paper, pen, write the resignation now quickly, you animal…You Moskal (pejorative for Russian) garbage!”
The video showed one of the attackers shouting in the chairman’s face. Panteleymonov replied by saying, “I’m Ukrainian”, to which they responded with more abuse, “You’re Ukrainian? You’re shit! You campaigned for Moscow; you lied to Ukrainians for our money!” Svoboda spokesman Aleksandr Aronets admitted on his Facebook page that they forced the NTKU chief to resign and attached a picture of it as a proof. He also accused Panteleymonov of brainwashing Ukrainians with a sitcom about the Russian Army. Svoboda is the country’s fifth-largest political bloc; they were part of the Euromaidan riots, together with the equally-neofascist Right Sector.
In a separate development, the Ukrainian junta ordered media outlets to block Russian TV channels under the guise of “ensuring national security and sovereignty”. The OSCE branded this mover “repressive”, OSCE media freedom official Dunja Mijatović said, “I repeat my call to the authorities not to start such repressive measures. Banning programming without a legal basis is a form of censorship; one shouldn’t use national security concerns to ban media freedom”. According to the media, half of all providers have already followed through. The National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine said on its website, “As of 11.00 GMT (03.00 PDT. 07.00 EDT. 15.00 MSK. 22.00 AEST), 11 March, 50 percent of providers across Ukraine disabled broadcasting of foreign channels” and the others are preparing to follow.

This is the real face of the junta. It’s not long for this world. Do note that Darlin’ Yuliya, the landshark of Ukrainian politics, is mostly MIA… this can mean two things. Firstly, she thinks that she can pick up the pieces if the junta collapses, if the Russians don’t take over too much of the real estate (she wouldn’t want to be President of a Galician rump state, nor would they want her). Secondly, she’s set it up so that she won’t receive blame for the junta’s crashes and terrorism, so that she could live out the rest of her life in (very) comfortable exile, as a heroine, not as a despised failure.
Zbig’s gamble has failed… but the game must play out to the end, and many will suffer and die. Zbig doesn’t give a shit… reflect on that. Neither does Nuland or Herbst… it won’t disturb their sleep one little bit (one wonders if the Orthodox who support the American madness are equally unruffled… I fear that they are).

The neofascist Svoboda faction came under a barrage of criticism from Ukrainian journalists and politicians outraged by the thrashing that Svoboda toughs gave to Aleksandr Panteleymonov, the chief of Ukraine’s state-run NTKU television company. Panteleymonov had to resign due to threats of violence from Svoboda terrorists, prompting journalists to call for a ban on Svoboda. Ukrainian journalists described the attack on Panteleymonov’s office, in which Svoboda bravos punched and yelled at him, forcing him to write a resignation letter, as “thuggery”. NTKU employees told reporters that after beating Panteleymonov, the “deputies” dragged him outside and into a car, adding that no one has seen him since. According to the footage, one of the attackers was Ukrainian Rada People’s Deputy Igor Miroshnichenko, who repeatedly pushed and humiliated Panteleymonov. Miroshnichenko denied beating Panteleymonov, saying that he only wanted to tell the man his opinion of him {but he did NOTHING to stop the beating, did he?: editor}. Reportedly, junta “Prime Minister” Arseny Yatsenyuk criticised the Svoboda hitmen {but he didn’t open a criminal case against them: editor}.

On Wednesday, in a comment posted on its official website, the MID said that Western actions during the Ukrainian crisis run counter to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, saying, “The USA and EU actively encouraged the coup d’état in Kiev, acting against the political independence and sovereignty of the Ukraine in breach of their obligations under the Budapest Memorandum”. In the context of the situation in the Ukraine, some of Moscow’s partners didn’t fail to point out to Russia its obligations under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. In response, the MID said, “In view of this, we’d like to remind them what these obligations are and who exactly is responsible for honouring them. In the Budapest Memorandum, Russia, the USA, and the UK committed to act as guarantors of the rights inherent to the Ukraine’s sovereignty. We’d like to ask, ‘How do the threats to impose sanctions on the Ukrainian authorities made repeatedly by the USA and EU during the riots in Kiev fit into these guarantees? What is it, if not economic coercion with respect to a sovereign state? For example, how should one regard the almost continual visitation by Western envoys on the Maidan?’ How should we qualify American and EU statements that they no longer regard the legally elected head of state as a legitimate partner, unlike the new leaders, appointed by Maidan activists in breach of all constitutional procedures?”

This is a massive civil engineering project, but one well within Russian capabilities.

Note well that “Ukrainians” are unable to equal such… I rest my case. The Ukraine deserves to be back under Great Russia… to restore it to its proper glory. It’s time to rescue Little Russia from Galician “nationalism” and perfidy.

Russian Federal Migration Service chief Konstantin Romodanovsky said that the Russian Federation started to issue Russian passports in the Crimea, saying, “Work has begun. We’ve issued some passports today. We signed the international treaty yesterday. Its temporary application started yesterday, and, of course, all Crimean residents who apply to the Federal Migration Service will get passports, because, from yesterday, they’re Russian citizens. Certain exceptions exist, but it’s too early to talk about them. I think that the pace of issuing documents will grow each day as citizens apply”.
On Wednesday, Romodanovsky said that one can see symptoms of an intensifying humanitarian disaster more and more plainly in the Ukraine, so, the RF Federal Migration Service sent a petition to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees that mentions a sharp increase in the numbers of the Ukrainian citizens arriving in Russia. Romodanovsky said, “Humanitarian disasters have definite symptoms and they’re getting more and more obvious in this case, as the inflow of senior citizens and children grew twofold. We shared this information with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and our apprehensions are understandable. We’ve begun collaboration with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees; we hope that our joint efforts will help minimise the impact of the situation”.

Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council Secretary Andrei Paruby said that he ordered the Ukrainian MID to introduce visa regulations with Russia, following a council meeting.

At a briefing on Wednesday, Reuters and Interfax reported that he said, “We ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs to introduce visa regulations with Russia. The [Ukrainian] MID should work out rules allowing entrance to the Ukraine to Russian citizens only if they have international passports. We gave the order to put this decision into effect as quickly as possible. We gave instructions to ensure the categorical fulfilment of earlier decisions of the SBU on the partial mobilisation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and putting them on full combat readiness. It was necessary to deploy tactical groups of the Ukraine’s Armed Forces in its border regions, for protecting its borders and territorial integrity. We’re developing a plan that’d enable us not only to withdraw servicemen, but also members of their families in the Crimea, so that they could be quickly and efficiently moved to the Ukraine”.
