Events in the Ukraine are developing in a most dramatic fashion. The International Department of the KPRF Central Committee received an urgent message from Kiev that a gang of well-trained thugs viciously attacked the premises of the KPU main headquarters. In particular, masked assailants kicked in doors, smashed windows, ripped up interior walls, and vandalised the furniture. They strewed the Party’s property on the street for the crowd to gawk at and painted a swastika on the door. According to preliminary reports, the vandals injured KPU members in the assault. The KPRF Central Committee calls on all communist and workers’ parties to protest against this Orange–Brown intervention, which aims to destroy the Ukraine’s integrity and to seize power using a military coup. We’ll follow events and when new messages arrive from our Ukrainian colleagues, we’ll post them on our site.

A horrific crime happened today in Kiev. A gang of fascist thugs attacked the KPU central headquarters. About 15-20 rioters broke into the KPU offices, breaking the gates and locks with a sledgehammer. After that, they went into the building and started to vandalise it. At first, they attacked monuments, destroying more than a dozen monuments to Lenin around the Ukraine. Now, they attack KPU premises, ransacking the KPU Central Committee building. Fascist nonentities, vultures really, spill out of the Maidan; they think themselves immune to retaliation. This is NOT so. Soon, we… the left-patriotic forces on the entire former Soviet space… will give an ample response to this vile campaign engineered by pro-Western vampires against our Ukrainian comrades.
At the end of last year, in Kiev on the Maidan and neighbouring streets, I watched witless people calling for EU membership. There were mercenaries from different parts of the country (both purposeful and “dupes”); they destroyed their country for filthy lucre. Today, this mob thinks itself impervious to all response, so, chaos reigns; they invaded the premises of our fraternal associates. Who knows, maybe tomorrow, Euromaidan gangsters will invade the homes of ordinary Ukrainians in a rampage of killing and pillaging. Today, we talk about our pain for our fraternal people. However, that’s not much… we have to act! Moreover, we’re ready to act! We’ll not only oppose them in the media; we’ll take well-planned and decisive action. We’ll deal with these covert European and overseas invaders openly… in the name of a free Ukraine and its people! In the name of all the peoples of the former USSR!

A spokesman for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague said that the Ukraine couldn’t appeal to the ICC to prosecute former Ukrainian state figures, including Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, noting, “No country in the world has a right to ask the ICC to prosecute certain people”. Moreover, the ICC’s jurisdiction doesn’t cover the Ukraine because it hasn’t yet ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC. The spokesman observed, “Any country can decide to ratify the Rome Statute, which would give the ICC the opportunity to investigate cases that took place on the territory of the country anytime from 1 July 2002, when the document came into force. In any case, only the court’s prosecutor can decide whether there’s sufficient ground for conducting an investigation”. On Tuesday, the Rada approved a decision to appeal to the ICC to bring Viktor Yanukovich and other officials to justice “for crimes against humanity during peaceful protest rallies between 30 November 2013 and 22 February 2014”.

Editor’s Note:
If you wanted proof that the Timoshenko junta isn’t long for this world, this is it. You see, the ICC is a HIGHLY politicised body; in fact, it’s more of a political body than a real court. In other words, the ICC determined that the Timoshenko cabal wasn’t a legitimate government; they concluded that wasn’t long for this world. Ergo, the ICC wanted no part of this steaming meadow muffin. They sound so… miffed, don’t they? Eek! It might soil our white gloves! Go away! This is GOOD news… but the situation deteriorates hourly… no one, least of all me, has a handle on it all. Stay tuned…
