Miroslav Rudenko, Co-Chairman of the Donetsk People’s Republic Government and deputy commander of the Donbass People’s Opolchenie told RIA-Novosti, “Full-scale hostilities continue near Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. Clashes near Slavyansk and Kramatorsk resumed in the early hours of Saturday. Things got particularly tough in the morning. There are full-scale hostilities around Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. There’s no information about casualties”. Stella Khorosheva, the official spokesman for People’s Mayor of Slavyansk Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, confirmed to a RIA-Novosti correspondent, “Fighting persisted throughout Saturday, but now it’s relatively calm”.

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) denied reports of a number of CIA agents allegedly killed in clashes between junta forces and patriot opolchenie in Novorossiya. Earlier, People’s Mayor of Slavyansk Vyacheslav Ponomaryov announced that junta forces suffered heavy losses in their attempted repression in Novorossiya saying that the opolchenie killed, wounded, or captured at least 650 junta personnel in the past ten days, he said. There were 70 foreigners amongst them, 13 US FBI agents and CIA operatives died and 12 others wounded. A CIA official claimed on the US embassy in Berlin’s official Twitter page that no such incidents took place and that allegations by pro-Russian activists didn’t correspond to reality.

Of course not… just like the CIA had nothing to do with Mossadegh, Arbenz, or Allende… or the Civil War in Greece or in deposing Ecumenical Patriarch Maximos Vaportzis. I think that all reasonable normal adults know the value of Langley’s word… and of those who work for it (what does that tell us about a particular priest who lives in suburban Maryland?). There’s no need to belabour the point… they’re liars, in an agency with a crank and duplicitous institutional culture. Why do they even issue such denials… don’t they know that no one believes them? Here’s the sad part… many of them have lived in a world of lies for so long that they no longer know what the truth is. Now, that’s being “disabled”, if you ask me…

Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, the People’s Mayor of Slavyansk, told Interfax, “The city came under fire yesterday afternoon and continued throughout the night. Our opolchenie fought back and eliminated up to seven attackers. Nobody died amongst the opolchenie, but one man has severe wounds. The junta forces continue to use heavy weapons such as howitzers and mortars against the city. They’re trying to advance inside the city. We’re not letting them do that, but we keep them in the outskirts”.

On Sunday, Stella Khorosheva, the official spokesman for Slavyansk People’s Mayor Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, told RIA-Novosti by telephone that “National Guard” (sic) terrorists shot dead ten soldiers who wanted to defect to the opolchenie in Slavyansk. She said, “Ten soldiers wanted to join us, but National Guard (sic) commanders shot them dead. We don’t have any information on casualties amongst the opolchenie. For now, there are no clashes inside the city, but we spotted an unmanned aircraft over the railway station”.

A spokesman for the patriot opolchenie told reporters, “There are signs of growing irritation in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as many servicemen are increasingly displeased with Kiev’s policies. On Saturday, a group of opolchenie fighters held talks with servicemen deployed at an airfield near Kramatorsk. They said that they don’t want war; they don’t want to shoot or kill anyone. Many come from our region, but they refuse to surrender… they have orders to obey. Worsening food supplies fuels their discontent {remember how the junta stole MREs and sold them on the internet?: editor}. Also stationed at the airport are about 70 members of some unknown group, maybe, Right Sector radicals. They wear black uniforms without insignia and don’t interact with the military”.
Editor:
The guys in black smell like mercs. Remember, they’re big talkers… but cowards when it comes to real down n’ dirty sustained combat. They’re thugs-for-hire, bodyguards, hit n’ run ambushers, and assassins… they’re not real soldiers. If mercs were so good, all countries would hire them… and they don’t. They’re unreliable and iffy assets, as much danger to those who wield them as to their intended targets. A steady battalion of line infantry will beat a merc band any day of the week (which is why countries DO depend on line infantry and not mercs).

An Interfax correspondent reported that the traditional Sunday rally of anti-junta patriots took place in Kharkov at the foot of the Lenin monument. The rally involved members of the Southeast and Borotba movements as well as the KPU and Progressive Socialist Party. Yuri Apukhtin, a member of the coordinating council of the Southeast movement, said, “Our task is to boycott the election. We should meet on this square on 25 May… we won’t recognise the election. The all-Ukrainian national unity roundtable held in Kharkov on Saturday was no good; I refused to attend it even though they invited me. Kharkov will have a referendum in the mould of Donetsk and Lugansk”.
******
On Sunday, LifeNews stated to TASS that junta security elements detained its TV journalists near Kramatorsk, saying, “Presumably, they stopped our reporters at a checkpoint near Kramatorsk. We don’t have mobile phone contact with them”.
******
A spokesman for the Kramatorsk opolchenie HQ told Interfax, “There’s fighting on the outskirts of Kramatorsk. They’ve attacked some of our strongpoints and a factory is in flames. They launched an assault on opolchenie fighters in Yasnogorki Raion and in the Stary Gorod part of Kramatorsk. We’ll fight to the end. Junta forces carried out artillery fire against us. They shelled infrastructure and industrial facilities, damaging a factory beyond repair”. No information is available about casualties on either side. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Slavyansk opolchenie HQ told Interfax, “The junta forces laid a massive barrage on strongpoints on the outskirts, but they’re still under our control. We’ve secured Slavyansk. The enemy has switched to us now”.
Editor:
Note the grim determination of the opolchenie. This isn’t merely a political conflict, as some in the West imagine it to be. It’s a primal conflict between Uniate and Orthodox… between the Vatican and Holy Rus. Where shall the border between the West and the Orthosphere lie? This present conflict will resolve that… this is far more important than the relatively picayune aims of the West, both rightwing and leftist. This is one of the most momentous wars of our time… yes, Holy Rus WILL stop the West, but where? It’s 1242, 1380, 1612, 1709, 1812, and 1941 all over again… and the Westerners expect us to take their shallow agendas seriously. In a pig’s arse…
