When I heard this morning that Putin had asked the Federation Council to repeal the resolution on the use of Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine I was frankly baffled. Truly, I had not expected such a move. I had noticed yesterday that the so-called “consultations” (as opposed to “negotiations”) between the Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, a senior representative for the OSCE Tagliavini, Ukraine’s second president

Translated from English by Gleb Bazov (emphasis in red added by me – The Saker) Original: http://icorpus.ru/zayavlenie-ot-strelkova-22-06-2014-2003/ I am categorically opposed to any “cult of personality” which some have started to sculpt out of my persona on various websites with a “patriotic” and “pseudo-patriotic” thematic. Actually, and frankly speaking, it is extremely unpleasant to read things about myself that are obviously devoid of reality. Many of the skills that are

Let me explain The current situation and the problems it creates In order to have somebody helping me moderate comments, I would

These fighters have now returned to fight Daash in Iraq. 22nd June: A third militant of Daash from its recruitment video has
Self explanatory – not in English but it’s not really necessary. I love how these masked thugs are the “new face of Europe” and how neo-Nazis just love these “mini-Kristallnacht” reenactment. In Western Europe Nazism is banned. In Eastern Europe it is sponsored. By the West Europeans. Go figure…The Saker
We already had the somewhat “bipolar” statements of Igor Strelkov who could go from “we are about to win” to “they are about to exterminate us” in 24 hours and then back. Still, looking at his videos he looked tremendously stressed and frustrated and, what is really a major issue in such situation, he looked severely sleep deprived.

Dear friends, I just want to express a heartfelt “THANK YOU!!” to Gleb Bazov for translating all these statements and for submitting them for publication on this blog.
