Regarding a Militia tank allegedly taken out by the Ukrainian army
– Igor Ivanovich, what is this photography that the Ukies are posting all over the place on the Internet?
Igor Strelkov: How should I know? Perhaps it’s one of their own tanks, which burned down near Yampol (I think they lost one there last evening). All of ours are fine. One was hit with an RPG, but the dynamic defence [absorbed the blow], the second has three holes in its armour from a 14.5mm weapon, but the turret is fine. That’s it – no other damage.

Berezin’s statement following surrender of Ukrainian Military Base No. 3004
Surely, we are fascists, sadists, terrorists, and separatists, and yet … From 03:00 in the morning and until 15:00 in the afternoon we continued to release the [detained conscripts]. Called all the moms, dad, brothers, and sisters. First we dealt with the locals. Then we started the process of releasing the kids to their parents. From every mom we obtained a written confirmation of release and a phone number. This is to enable us to have control over what happens to the guys. In other words, we hope thereby to safeguard them from violence by the Ukie aficionados of dismemberment.
Neither I, nor my guys slept this night, but it was all worth it. This time, the job was done to a grade-A standard.

#3 – Briefings from Locations, June 27, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
The night was not remarkable in terms of observed activity.
This morning, two explosions occurred at 04:45 and 05:30, near Donetsk, in Stanitsa Ogorodnoye, near the railway bridge.
About 12:30, there were several explosions near the intersection of Shorse and Treneva streets. As well, during the day, maneuver-centric engagements and explosions took place in the area of Stankostroy, near Slavyansk. There was no calm in the suburbs of Slavyansk during the day. A battle took place in the Artyomovsk district.
17:30 (MSK) – Combat resumed on the outskirts of Slavyansk, a KPVT [Note 1: heavy/large-calibre armour-mounted machine gun] is heard working.
17:40 (MSK) – Artillery fire directed at Slavyansk coming from Karachun and the Meloviye Mountains.
17:50 (MSK) – Artillery fire coming for Shurov.
18:05 (MSK) – Intense shelling of Semyonovka, using heavy artillery, is ongoing. By the way, one of the Ukies checkpoints was leveled to the ground last night.
18:35 (MSK) – A column of Ukie detachments (infantry, armoured vehicles) moving from Izyum in the direction Nikolayevka, is currently near the Kolonyanka village (not far from Krivaya Luka). No cars are allowed to pass the area, and several civilian vehicles were fired upon; casualties unknown. As a result, the composition [of the column] is not known. Around 21:00 (MSK), this column likely passed by Krestishchi.
Note 1: KPVT-14.5mm is a Soviet-designed 14.5x114mm-calibre heave armour-mounted machine gun. See Wikipedia.
#4 – Briefing from the Kramatorsk Militia, June 27, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
Last night Ukies decided to blow to bits the chlorination station in Kramatorsk, located in the centre of the city (on a wasteland patch). The outcome: two shells hit the 6th and the 7th floor of a nearby building, one shell hit the refueling stating, and tow – the 20th workshop of NKMZ plant. None his the intended target. And this is [happening] in the city centre.
21:36 (MSK) – Battles starting in Kramatorsk (DPR [Donetsk People’s Republic]) and in the suburbs of Lugansk, in Metallist and Kamennaya Boroda (LPR [Lugansk People’s Republic]).
#5 – Briefing from the Militia, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
00:30 (MSK) – Artillery fire opened against Yampol (near Kranisy Liman) from the Kirov highway.
00:45 (MSK) – Several signal flares coming from the direction of Zeleniy Klin. In LPR there is a battle for control of the border village Vlasovka (near the Russian Donetsk). In Artyomovsk, the Ukie army fired upon a scheduled motor coach; 2 civilians died. After several shots hit the front shield window [of the motor coach], the bus driver lost control and crashed into a garage of a private residence on Tchaikovskiy street. The driver dies on the spot. A woman who was [travelling] in the bus was taken to surgery, where she died from heavy injuries and wounds.
#6 – Morning Briefing from Locations, June 28, 2014, 12:49
Original: Strelkov Info
The night was tense near Karlovka, with heightened drone activity reported. From early morning battles raged in the area of Krasniy (Chervonniy) Partisan. It is difficult to tell what the situation was by 10:45 (MSK), there is still little information, but it appears that the NazGuard detachments have suffered casualties and are retreating.
12:05 (MSK) – A propeller aircraft flying over Slavyansk-Nikolayevka-Kramatorsk parachuted cargo consisting of five containers in the Karachun area. Last time the Kramatorsk Militia made good use of a similar cargo [delivery].

#7 – Briefing from the DPR Press Service, June 28, 2014, 13:33
Original: Strelkov Info
Military Base No. 3023 of Internal Forces of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs voluntarily laid down their weapons. Conscripts were released by the DPR government.
On June 28, around 06:00 – 07:00 in the morning, NazGuard attempted to retake the border checkpoint near Krasnopartisansk [Krasniy/Chervonniy Partisan] in LPR, but the attack was repelled.

#8 – Briefing from Igor Strelkov, June 28, 2014, 15:30
Original: Icorpus.ru
In the course of the night, 10 drones were conducting intelligence scouting operations over Slavyansk, in breach of the conditions of the so-called “ceasefire”.
In the morning, enemy aircraft dropped military cargo in the Kramatorsk area. Anti-aircraft units of the Militia did not open fire.
The enemy resumed the movement of its military columns along the Kharkov-Rostov highway, in the area of BZS [refueling station] and Vostochniy checkpoints (Checkpoints No. 3 and No. 4 according to enemy classification). According to information obtained by our scouting parties, a large amount of ammunitions, intended for shelling of Militia positions, was delivered by one of these columns. Due to the fact that these actions constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement, the column of the enemy was attacked with mortar fire in the area of the Vostochniy checkpoint. The enemy mortar company, located near the noted checkpoint shelled Semyonovka and Militia positions, following which artillery and mortar strikes were made against this company. The enemy suffered casualties.
The Militia intelligence confirmed [continued] transfers of forces and equipment toward the outskirts of Slavyansk and Kramators. The enemy is preparing for a complete clean-up of the Yampol settlement.
Slavyansk garrison warns that it will continue to interdict any future attempts to use the state of ceasefire for the purpose of preparing an assault on the [Militia] positions.
On other fronts, the Militia continues to abide by the ceasefire regime and confines itself to observing the activity of Ukrainian military formations.

Video of the damage to the Russian Gukovo border crossing checkpoint
Once again, Ukrainian shells ended up on Russian territory. Charges [launched] by the Ukrainian military hit two settlements in the Rostov oblast.
According to preliminary information, one of the shells broke through the gate of a private residence in the city of Gukovo, on Smirnov street. The second shell, presumably launched from a mortar, exploded in the Vasetskiy Khutor, in the Krasnoulinsk are, leaving behind a crater 40cm by 30cm.
According to a source in [Russian] law-enforcement agencies of the Rostov oblast, shelling from the Ukrainian side continued from 08:00 until 10:00 in the morning. A shell, presumably from a mortar, landed on the territory of Vasetskiy Khutor. [The shell] created an [oval] crater 20cm deep, with diameters of 30sm and 40sm. A task force is now working onsite. From review of the shards it is difficult to determine visually that type of the ammunition was used. There are no casualties among civilians.
On June 28, Ukrainians again shelled the Russian border. Ukrainian shell crossed the border and exploded on the territory of the Russian customs checkpoint at Gukovo. The explosion caused severe damaged to the checkpoint building; window panes have been blown and walls are partially destroyed.
#10 – Short Briefing from Igor Strelkov, June 28, 2014, 17:16
Original: Strelkov Info
All night drones flew over us – over 10 of them simultaneously. It appears that Ukies consider artillery scouting to be perfectly consistent with the ceasefire regime.
Last night, the enemy open fire (including with mortars) at the city outskirts. Destruction in the private housing area near the Vosnichniy settlement are reported.
In the morning, Su-25 aircraft twice parachuted cargos for [the enemy] detachments at the Kramatorsk airfield and other locations. Due to strong wind a large part of the cargo was carried far to the side and did no make its destination. Unfortunately, the parachutes did not fly our way [either].
About 13:00, an intense mortar exchange took place between our positions at Semyonovka and the stronghold of the enemy enemy support positions near the Vostochniy settlement. It is unclear who began the confrontation (I was told that the enemy is responsible. [However], I do not preclude the possibility that our fighters could not refuse the temptation to conduct strikes against yet another ammunition supply column [of the enemy] that was travelling along the highway). In the course of the skirmish, the enemy engaged its a mortar company [Note: original – rota] and a howitzer battery at the rear. From our side, we used the “many times destroyed” Nona [Note 1: 2S9 Nona – a 120mm mortar]. In addition, a group of our fighters advanced toward the checkpoint and worked it over with an AGS [Note 2: AGS-17 “Plamya” grenade launcher] A number of mortar nests were destroyed; Ukies certainly suffered casualties. However, the shelling of Semyonovka by the enemy has not stopped.
The enemy is transferring more and more NazGuard detachments to our area. Perhaps they think that they can convince the “svidomye” [Note 3: I.e. the “nationally conscious” or Maidanites] to attempt an assault on the city. Frank speaking, I would not try in their place. However, perhaps one of the goals of this war is the maximum possible “utilization” [I.e. – elimination] of Maidanites? If so – then yes. [An assault] makes sense [in this case].
Note 1: 2S9 Nona is a 120mm mortar, usually self-propelled. See Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S9_Nona
Note 2: AGS-17 “Plamya” grenade launcher is a heavy infantry support weapon, designed to operate from a tripod or it can be mounted on an installation or vehicle. See Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGS-17
Note 3: Svidomiye comes from Svidomost, alternatively “Nazionalna Svidomost” – “National Consciousness”. A good article on this phenomenon, in Russian, can be found at Lurkmore.to – http://lurkmore.to/Свидомость
#11 – Information from the DPR Press Service, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
Last night, Ukrainian force shelled the residential buildings in the private sector of Selidovo. Three buildings were destroyed, all night the city was filled with terrible rumbling and noise; most likely, [they] were firing with something heavy. There are no militiamen in Selidovo.
Artillery strikes with heave weapons also occurred in the city of Ukrainsk, in the Donetsk oblast, which is located near Selidov. According to reports from local residents, forces of the Ukrainian NazGuard are located in Selidovo and Ukrainsk.
#12 – Statement by Alexander Karyakin, Chair of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of LPR, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
Alexander Karyakin, Chair of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of LPR, told us that Ukrainian forces are not abiding by the terms of ceasefire and are controlled by Kolomoiskiy:
“Ukrainian forces are, in fact, ignoring the order issued by Poroshenko. Either the Presideng lacks sufficient authority, or the armed forces are making independent decisions. There is also a figure like Kolomoiskiy, who announced that he would not be abiding by the President’s order to cease fire.
If you compare the situation in the Lugansk People’s Republic prior to and following the ceasefire, you won’t find any global changes. The military aggression has slowed down, but, overall, it would not be correct to say that the situation is calm.
The armed forces are constantly moving. Forces are being pulled up to the boundaries [of contested centres], and artillery strikes against settlements continue; civilians are dying. The extension of the ceasefire to June 30 will change nothing: shelling has continued as before.
#13 – Briefing from the Militia, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
This morning, despite the announced ceasefire, the NazGuard attempted to take control over the Krasniy Partisan border checkpoint; however, the attack was repelled. We are confirming casualty details.
Internal Force’s Military Base 3023 of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Donetsk voluntarily laid down their weapons. Conscripts were released.
Situation during the day was relatively calm. In the course of the day, Ukrainian forces continued to shell Slavyansk.
Junta continues to transfer its troops in the area of Shchastye and the Metallist settlement. Two Grad systems an approximately 23 BMP APCs were transferred to these locations.
The Gukovo customs checkpoint in the Rostov oblast was damaged by a direct hit with a shell that was launched from the Ukrainian territory. Another shell landed in the Vasetskiy Khutor, in the Gukovo district. Another shell exploded on the territory of the Shakhta-24 settelement.
22:45 (MSK) – shooting coming from the side of the Kirovsk highways, KPVT and “samovars” heard working. The intended target of the shooting is not known; it is possible that the adjacent forest belt is the target.
#14 – Commentary from Igor Strelkov, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
– Igor Ivanovich, you are extremely well-natured with POWs who caused irreparable damage to buildings, enterprises and the residents of the settlements that were subject to artillery strikes and violence. In particular, you [treat well] all conscripts. Isn’t it time to make the POWs work and materially compensate the damage caused? Let them work to rebuild the economy, and their parents from Lvov can buy building materials with their savings. Let them rebuild that which they destroyed, and, first and foremost, [work] on the frontlines and in Semyonovka.
Igor Strelkov: Unlike the enemy, we intend to full abide by the POW convention. (I will note only that saboteurs and spies do not have the benefit of this convention.)
#15 – Briefing from the Militia, June 28, 2014, 23:53
Original: Strelkov Info
Artillery shelling of Rubezhniy and the Metallist settlement (Lugans) is currently ongoing. In Kramatorsk, there is shooting in the Damanskiy district, as well as machine gun fire and explosions in the area of the airfield.
23:20 (MSK) – A mortar battery is shelling Semyonovka, presumably from Krasniy Liman.
23:50 (MSK) – In the area of Semyonovka a maneuver-centric battle is ongoing, using a “Rogatka” [Note 1: T-72B2 “Rogatka” (also T-72BM) main battle tank)] and an AGS.
01:55 (MSK) – Ukrainian artillery is firing from Karachun. There is a battle in the area of the Kramatorsk airfield.
Local residents reported signal flares in the area of Shchastye – Metallist, following which battles resumed. Mortar units and howitzers heard working, automatic weapons fire does not stop for a minute.
Note 1: “Rogatka” or T-72B2 “Rogatka” (also T-72BM) is a Soviet-designed main battle tank. See Wikipedia.

#16 – Briefing from the Kramatorsk Militia, June 28, 2014
Original: Strelkov Info
Just now we worked over the airfield with a mortar. About 17 volleys from various positions. Something loudly exploded at the airfield and glow was observed. Ukies opened return fire against positions which we used several days ago. To their credit, I must say that they fired with precision … into a destroyed and long-abandoned cow bard. However, there was no one at that position (good sense is a priority in our ranks). We could also hear our tanks shooting at Ukies positions. Where exactly were they aiming and the results of the operation will be known tomorrow.

Regarding the video of streamer Vlad’s interrogation by NazGuard
www.youtube.com/embed/bcGEG_ENGdA
Video of streamer Vlad’s interrogations
I will spend a few minutes, otherwise allotted to sleep, to comment on this video.
My comments will be simple – this video is not actually threatening (although the detainee was, of course, scared, just as anyone else in his place would have been), but, how should I put it, I can’t even find the right words … Let’s call it meaningless. Why? Take a look at videos of POW interrogations in Slavyansk, Lugansk, in other cities. [You will find] POWs from saboteur-intelligence groups, which consist of professional soldiers, paratroopers and military scouts, of spetsnaz. [You will find] captured female snipers, which correct artillery fire, tankists and APC operators/technicians, fighters of the various “guards”. And now, this Ukie aphid, whose face you wouldn’t find in the crowd even if he did not wear a mask, captures a 16-year-old Internet activist and threatens militiamen that he has bullets enough for everyone? Does not he find himself laughable?
P.S.: Prior to talking about having enough ammo, it is best that he find out what really goes on with this indispensable product at the front: $2 for 5.45×39 bullets (AK-47 and RPK [Note 1: RPK-74 is a 5.45mm handheld Kalashnikov machine gun] are the most widespread weapons), 7.62×39 is even more expensive. And, if you were unlucky enough to get an SVD [Note 2: SVD is the Dragunov sniper rifle], which uses 7.62×54 bullets, or a PMK [Note 3: PKM is a 7.62mm modernized Kalashnikov machine gun], then, my friend … send you mom a telegram so that she can send you money, $5 for a magazine. So, that’s how it is. And this is the real situation on the ground in Ukie forces (don’t know whether it’s NazGuard or not, but the information comes straight from the source). So, you see, it’s very different than torture an underage kid in Kiev. All those who could yell, jump, throw stones, they are all here. So, we are waiting for the next “liberator of Ukraina” to show up here.
And, at the end, free advice on the issue of their uniform: you have to change your getup. I won’t go into details, but, in a getup like that, you won’t have a chance to say “glory to Ukraine” when you are in the forest belt.
Note: Streamer Vlad has been released from captivity and is now with the Militia
unrest in Kiev
It appears Poroshenko has 2 days to resume mil campaign. Rally in Kiev was meant to send clear message that people will hold him accountable
#Ukraine govt spokesperson is booed for not giving satisfactory answers but head of Battalion Donbas says that Poroshenko has 1 more chance
Hahah! Certainly a different tone from other sitreps. I am glad. While I can see where Strelkov (or whoever is writing for him) omits details but he definitely makes no bones about how much more confident the Novorossiya Armed Forces are.
Godspeed
Apparently the SBU in Odessa have arrested a young girl, Andreeva Inna who put a message ‘Novorossia yes’ on her vkontakte page. The story suggests she has been arrested on charges of terrorism and faces 12 years in jail. The junta certainly likes bullying the young and innocent.

Something in that article triggered a memory. During the late 1960s in Vietnam there were two forces fighting the Americans – the Viet Cong and the regular North Vietnamese army. During the Tet Offensive the North went on the attack and achieved a strategic victory in a bloody campaign. When it was over the North Vietnamese Army was still around but the Viet Cong was decimated. This meant, as a side effect, that after the North won several years later that there was not a major local force on the ground in the south that might oppose their rule. Funny how that worked out for the North.
Perhaps the same logic is in use in the Ukraine again in that the Oligarchs are using the Right Sector and other nationalists as cannon fodder who will hopefully get themselves bumped off in the fighting. Keeping them in the east also keeps them out from underfoot in Kiev as well and looking over their shoulders.
Sooner or later the fighting will end and this lot will return back to the west to Austerity Ukraine and they will not be happy little campers when they experience the new Ukraine.
Anatoly Gritsenko, Verkhovna Rada deputy and former Ukrainian minister of defence, seems to be deeply confused:
“Putin won’t stop. He wants not only Ukraine, he wants the Baltic States and other countries,” claimed Gritsenko, who was a presidential candidate twice, in the 2010 and 2014 Ukrainian elections. Gritsenko did not elaborate on what had driven him to such a conclusion.
Calling the Russian president “a fascist,” Gritsenko went on to say that he cannot imagine Vladimir Putin coming to Ukraine to sign some kind of a deal.
“I believe there are patriots who would volunteer to kill him – and that would be the right thing to do,” Gritsenko remarked.

Ukraine claims to have shot down a Russian drone near the border.
Ukrainian Marines, he shot down a Russian drone spy – Tymchuk
I just keep thinking how appropriate it is that Nazis are once again being sent ill-equipped to die on the eastern front in battle.
Drones? Made by whom, flown by whom?
Russian TV journalist, author and host of “Moment of Truth” Andrei Karaulov’s documentary “Ukrainian fascism”:
The film is dedicated to the tragic events in Ukraine. The film’s title refers to the classic tape Mikhail Romm’s “Ordinary Fascism.” In an interview with IA “Tatar-Inform” Andrei Karaulov said that work on the movie began 10 days ago. “It turns out, there is still no documentary in our country, which would gather together at least some of the crimes that occurred in the south-east of Ukraine in April, May and June this year. Here we have done the job. And the most important thing in this film, of course, no questions asked Karaulova, and the testimony of those witnesses (over 10 people), who found the courage and strength to tell the truth, having gone through hell in Mariupol, Odessa, etc. “- he said

Interesting new tools captured at A-1402 Base.
So careless of the Ukies to have left this sitting around.
America Seems to Be Losing Ukraine’s War:
“Reports coming in, both from professional analysts, and from well-informed residents of the Ukrainian areas where we are bombing the residents and assassinating their leaders (whom our government calls “terrorists”), suggest that Obama’s Ukrainian coup in February, which installed a regime that is now ethnically cleansing Ukraine’s southeast, is already producing blowback that will be far costlier to the United States than if we had not done it.“…
I was appalled when Putin asked the Duma to withdraw his authorization to use military force to protect Russian citizens in South-east Ukraine if necessary, as the fascist in Kiev obviously intend a major all-out attack after using their phoney “cease-fire” to build up their positions and move heavy artillery and main battle tanks into position for an assault on Novorossia.
However, on due reflection, I think it probably means that the Russian leadership is confident that Novorossia can withstand the Ukie offensive without the direct assistance of Russia. The fact that the leadership of Novorossia is concerning itself with 2 year plans and designing medals for valour tends to give confidence that they have sufficient forces to defend themselves and prevail.
The next step is to get international recognition from some key allies with nothing to lose, such as Syria or Serbia, already under US attack anyway, so that Russia can officially recognize Novorossia without “being the first”. Recognition of Novorussia as an independent state would enable Russia to sign a treaty of mutual defence enabling them to provide whatever military support is required to secure their independence from Ukraine.

Dear Saker
There is an e-newspaper in Croatia called advance.hr
This newspaper support multipolar world.
The Croatian main stream newspaper called The Evening Post ( Vecernji List ) first time quote this advance.hr
Here is link on the article from The Evening Post
http://www.vecernji.hr/svijet/nakon-produljenog-primirja-nastavili-borbu-poginula-trojica-ukrajinskih-vojnika-947390
And here is the paragraph:
Poroshenko je nakon toga produžio primirje koje je isteklo u petak u 10 sati po lokalnom vremenu, te zapovjedio “obustavu antiterorstičke operacije za još 72 sata”, prenosi portal Advance, no borbe su se nastavile unatoč primirju.
The US-Empire loves totalitarian structures for its client states, because they provide “stability” for “foreign investment” and enable “structural adjustments” without the hassles of protests, regulations and other bureaucratic hurdles detrimental to profits. And thus it looks like the Ukraine is sort of a testing ground for what will be in store for Europeans in the not so distant future:
The EU creates a legal framework for Europe-wide deployment of police and military units . At the same time, the EU Commission is working intensively on the creation of a single EU police unit as well as an EU public prosecutor […].
The use of the “European Gendarmerie Force” (EUROGENDFOR) is made possible by the “solidarity clause” as Heise reported. At the unit, headquartered in Vicenza, Italy, all EU Member States are involved, the Gendarmerien, so police forces with military status are used. One of the founding countries of the EUROGENDFOR include Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands. We provide our services to the police unit of the EU, NATO or the UN.
“The ‘solidarity clause’ is redundant, since the EU already has mechanisms for mutual assistance in case of disasters. Secondly, the clause amplifies the course to a militarization of domestic politics, since upon request military can be used in another Member State.
The European Union prepares the ‘solidarity clause’ framework for military use against citizens – Stratrisks

The biggest threat to the junta in terms of warfare as before are RDH that using local knowledge, operational data exploration and weak coordination of forces junta put it very serious losses operate on the principle – struck, has departed. Tactics are very unpleasant to which the junta keys until you find may not. The majority of people on the side of the junta and in the technology, but problems with logistics, coordination and planning, while it is more difficult for the junta task force to crush the rebellion.
From the humanitarian point of view, the situation in Donbass very heavy on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. Termination of assistance to the Donbass is fraught not only with the defeat of the military and political structures DND and LNR, but the collapse of the socio-economic sphere, which is now rather, there is inertia. So there will be many more serious problems associated with acceptance and accommodation of refugees and the maintenance of basic life-support systems in the Donbass.
We at the “Voice of Sevastopol” in implementation of systematic pressure blocked http://voicesevas.ru/news/2177-videoservis-youtube-zablokiroval-youtube-kanal-golos-sevastopolya.html YouTube channel, a bit earlier we already 2 times blocked Twitter, personally I have blocked LJ, the site is constantly DDoSят and try to hack, regularly close purses on the collected funds to the phones of my friends and my personally regularly go threats from various banderlog. It is obvious that our work has paid attention and provide systematic pressure. It’s an extra motivation to do what I do and forth. So what we are doing, we do not in vain. To work of course we don’t stop, so why try?
On YouTube do not worry – the entire archive the video is saved, we are working on its own video hosting, where in addition to the normal playlists will meet a range of war crimes (without censorship restrictions)that you cannot cover just removing from service or by blocking the channel. This will cover and photo-materials of crimes against peace and humanity, and violations of the laws of war.

If find there is a lot of similarity between what happens now in Ukraine and the way guerrilla movements in Latin America were suppressed in the 1970s and 1980s. Disappearances, death squads, militia’s, ruthless behavior towards “suspect” parts of the population, it is all very similar.
So I was wondering whether some of the CIA and other US advisors now stationed in Kiev have previously been active in Latin America.
Any ideas or information?
Ukraine must now beg for Russia’s intervention to resolve the crisis. The longer the delay before an international peace conference, Russian peacekeepers and Chinese money, the more territory, hearts, minds and lives will be lost on the ground. Strelkov is consecrating battalion banners, awarding medals and capturing bases while the nationalists are starving without ammo, threatening to overthrow the government, kill Putin . . . Russia offers peace in one hand and war for USEUNATO in the other.
America is growing weaker by the day, facing a strengthening international alliance on all continents and a domestic population opposed to the government on the right and the left.
Power to the people!
Perhaps the same logic is in use in the Ukraine again in that the Oligarchs are using the Right Sector and other nationalists as cannon fodder who will hopefully get themselves bumped off in the fighting. Keeping them in the east also keeps them out from underfoot in Kiev as well and looking over their shoulders.
——–
I will disagree. The Right Sektor and NazGuard are the only troop spoiling for a fight. Regular Uki conscripts don’t want anything to do with killing their own and surrender where and when they can
Poroshenko is dependent on the thug core to dislocate and disrupt the civilian population to make it more difficult for Novi Rus to find cohesion
It’s a dangerous game for Kiev. Look at Al Qaeda amd ISIS for examples of how the guys doing the fighting stop taking orders from their political handlers
Repost from one of the previous threads:
Edward S. Herman, best known for his cooperation with Noam Chomsky in several books, on the belligerence of the US-Empire and what suffering it causes in the world:
It is an interesting feature of media coverage of the Ukraine crisis that there is a regular focus on alleged or possible Russian aid, control of and participation in the actions of the protesters/militants/insurgents in Eastern Ukraine. This was evident in the Times’s gullible acceptance of a claim that photos of insurgents included a Russian pictured in Russia, later acknowledged to be problematic (Andrew Higgins, Michael Gordon and Andrew Kramer, “Photos Link Masked Men in East Ukraine to Russia,” NYT, April 20, 2014); and in another lead article which was almost entirely speculation (Sabrina Tavernise, “In Ukraine Kremlin Leaves No Fingerprints,” NYT, June 1, 2014.). But this interest in foreign intrusion in Ukraine affairs, with the implication of wrong-doing, does not extend to evidence of U.S. and other NATO power aid and control. Visits by Biden, Cain, Nuland and intelligence and Pentagon figures are sometimes mentioned, but the scope and character of aid and advice, of U.S. “fingerprints,” is not discussed and seems to be of little interest. It is, in fact, normalized, so that as with the aid plans in which Russian proposals are “bludgeons” but U.S.-EU plans are “constructive and reasonable” the double standard is in good working order here as well.

Sorry Saker but that video of the 16yr old Stringer (not streamer) from mariupol being “interrogated” is a FAIL (for me and I suspect for others too).
The whole thing is fake, the boy over acts the “scared” act, the pro-Russian logo on his shirt has been “conveniently” left unmolested. The expression of the boy’s face in between threats are clear actor’s mood prep expressions.
This guy was “fake captured” by his own side (with his consent) for propaganda purposes. These kidnappers and “interrogatprs” were too civilized to be real Natz Guard. If the real Natzi-Guard had kidnapped this boy, they would have raped, slow-tortured and murdered a real pro Donbass boy. It’s well documented that nilihists like neo-Nazis Natz-Guard and Salaafists are heavily populated with violent self-hating closet-homosexuals with a compulsion towards pedophila, extreme sadism and cannibalism (cannibalism and torture of victims is common amongst gay serial killers and Salaafists).
I cannot believe people as barbaric, stupid, immoral and demonic as Natz-Guard would let a 16 year old boy go – alive and uninjured. Especially when you consider that the Natz-Guard in Mariupol are under the control of an alleged latent homosexual serial killer psychopath, “Baron” Igor Kolomoisky.
It has been alleged by people who personally know Kolomoisky that he’s sick and gets his kicks out of human sacrificing (burning alive) his enemies. That’s according to intercepted telephone conversation btwn Igor Noginski and the Israeli consul general to Ukraine. How is it possible that such a alleged psychopath could let this 16yr old go alive and uninjured.
How could people who burned all those people in Odessa and summarily massacred so many people in Mariupol let this boy go undamaged? This is not consistent with the narrative.

One is debunking the French Russian experts with their “refrain” of no nazis in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, RT came up with a report including some images from the “peaceful gathering” of the Banderastanian Herrenmenschen:
A Donbass Battalion representative read out a petition to President Poroshenko on behalf of Ukrainians, with a demand to “stop the truce, impose a martial law in the country, provide the military with necessary armaments and measures to destroy terrorists and request the EU and the USA to impose a third round of sanctions against Russia.”
Following the demonstration, the protesters marched to the infamous Maidan (Independence Square), the traditional place for political rallies and the symbolic location of the recent armed coup against President Yanukovich’s government.
The protesters held a “people’s assembly,” during which they warned Poroshenko that “this Sunday campaign may be the last peaceful one,” Itar-Tass reported.
The demonstrators called on the newly-elected president to “listen to the real holder of power – the Ukrainian people.”

Chairman of Regional State Administration Igor Kolomoisky believes that the appointment of Viktor Medvedchuk governor of Donetsk region – the last chance to avoid war in the Donbas.
On this, citing a conversation with Kolomoiskiy, said CEO of the holding “1 +1 media” Alexander Tkachenko.

Andrei Akulov on the EUROGENFOR and what it will mean for EU members (and those aspiring to become one):
EUROGENDFOR can be considered as an integrated police tool designed to carry out police missions in different theatres, including destabilized ones, in support of the EU, the UN, the OSCE and NATO, or possible ad hoc coalitions. The main feature of this armed force is flexibility. It can intervene quickly in any high intensity conflict under any military command (formally under the control of civilians), acting jointly with other divisions or in a totally autonomous. It may also intervene at any time of the conflict in the initial phase to stabilize or restore the order pre-existing alongside or replacing the local police force, during the transition phase will be called to serve a mission purely military in coordination with the local authorities, and finally in the final stage by facilitating the transfer of responsibilities from the military to the civilian chain of command
In other words, you have a europe-wide paramilitary force designed to stifle discontent (so that the inverse redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich can continue). The best part is yet to come:
The unit’s contingent is about 2,500 men able to intervene within thirty days in every corner of the world. Article 29 determined that the staff members of Eurogendfor will not suffer any proceedings concerning the execution of a judgment against them in the host State in the receiving State or in a case connected to the fulfillment of their service. (!) Whatever atrocity the operatives commit – no responsibility entails. So you go to Ukraine, for instance, and indiscriminately shoot around to your heart content, there will be no consequences to face.
This provision is very interesting. Because if state A wants to get rid of group B but cannot do so legally, it can pull a “terrorist alert” and have state C, D and E get rid of those unwanted subjects. Well, considering the TTIP agreement on the horizon, one has to be prepared for uprisings…

In his report to Putin, Sergey Glaziev, the economic mastermind of Russia says:
“Glaziev’s report features apocalyptic predictions in regard to the state of the world economy but the most interesting part of the text refers to the so-called “currency wars”.
Basically, one of the most influential advisors of the Russian president accuses both the US and EU of “legalized aggression” through unbridled monetary emission. Vedomosti cites several fragments from the report, “As a key point of their anti-crisis policy, they are refinancing their banks using negative real interest rates” and meanwhile “1.5 trillion dollars, 1.2 trillion euros and comparable amounts of yen and pounds are used to finance debt pyramids and acquire real assets across the world”. Western banks are accused of blocking their debtors in “debt traps”, with the ultimate goal of “obtaining political control” and “seizing the real assets” of the debtors.
Sergey Glaziev considers that such a policy is actually a form of legalized aggression and that the world is in a state of financial war. According to the conclusions of this report Russia “cannot win this war” without some major changes in its own economic strategy. Vedomosti reports that Vladimir Putin assembled a crack team of experts from Russian Academy of Science with a mission to create a brand new economic policy.”

@ Seer,
Q: This guy was “fake captured” by his own side (with his consent) for propaganda purposes.
R: I watched the clip without sound so I could fully focus on ‘body-language.’
Although I’m no expert and there’s always the possibility I might be utterly wrong, the boy looks scared. The video clip itself is futile though.
@Daniel Rich June 29, 22:55
It’s precisely the body language and facial expressions I’m refering to; the boy seems to over-act when exhibiting fear. However, during the times the goober in the Ninja outfit is spewing his nonsense, the boy seems distracted and gearing up for his next “scene” when Goober will turn on the boy to “threaten” him. I know that it is open to interpretation, but coupled with the associated facts (below), I am having trouble believing this was a Right Sector kidnapping.
If Saker’s associates are to be believed, the following behaviour has been attributed to Right-Sector goons: they shoot and murder hesitant regular Ukrainian army in the back, they dismember alive unarmed men, the repeatedly rape innocent women (then murder them), they burn people alive and cheer on their “patriotic” “colleagues” engaged in brutally murdering (seen the video) a 9-mo pregnant mom while she screams for help.
Now, I’m supposed to believe that these ANIMALS would let go of a 16 yr old male “traitor” (in their eyes)? And don’t forget, their boss, Kolonmoisty, the local feudal lord of Mariupol is allegedly the worst psychopath out of all of Ukraine’s psychopathic Feudal Lords (Oligarchs). When I first heard of this boys kidnapping I certain he would be butchered, as surely as a Christian, Shia, Hindu, Jew, and Buddhist would be butchered by a Salaafist/wahaabist coward.
Something does not add up here.

RuVensa.ru could be hosted on one of Dmitry Orlov’s servers, he’s done interviews from CR. Dr. Jim Willie also lives there, so maybe there’s some sort of small Russian colony developing in Central America. Willie says that Russian companies own Nicaragua’s cellular and 3G networks.
I don’t think it’s impossible that RuVesna is legit. What concerns me more is the efforts at Sunstein ‘divide and conquer’ ‘pit conspiracy theorists against each other’ and ‘make up your own conspiracy theories to distract from the real ones’ tactics. And the ‘Putin has failed/is a coward, NATO/EU are all powerful and triumphant’ rhetoric has been kicked up a notch here lately.
The ‘5th and 6th’ columns Dugin and Fedorov speak of may actually exist in Moscow, judging by Dugin getting fired then restored back to his job at Moscow State University. It seems as if there really is some infighting going on in the Kremlin right now…but at the risk of putting a Kremlinologist hat on, I think Glazyev’s faction is gaining ground not with ‘let’s invade to secure Novorossiya’ but ‘let’s take harsher measures against the petrodollar and faster while stepping up covert aid’.
After all, Kiev keeps having to prolong the ceasefire just to assemble enough troops and firepower to make a serious dent in the NAF forces. Air support is weak to non-existent at this point, perhaps because the Ukies had to recruit more Polish/merc pilots and ground crews to refurbish old Su-25s to make good their losses.
As our host points out frequently, the Kiev regime hasn’t won anything yet militarily except positions from which to shell Slavyiansk and Kramatorsk into rubble. If the Ukrainian civil war drags on without a major influx of foreign forces or cash for the Kiev side, by winter the junta will have to accept defeat. The only thing that can change this from Kiev’s side is military action broad and terrible enough for Novorossiya civilians that Russia finally does intervene. It’s a lose-lose scenario for the Ukrainians from my perspective, but the trouble is Choco-Poro, Kholomoisky and the rest of the freaks in Kiev might not care if they lose the war Saakashvili-style so long as they perform their assigned roles for their real puppetmasters well.
To reiterate my previous comment’s main point, I don’t see the Kiev regime winning. On Sunday it was threatened with another Maidan by Kholomoisky’s if it didn’t declare martial law and go on the attack. Methinks Ihor K.’s PR men who arranged that lovefest with the WSJ presstitutes are getting nervous about the Interpol warrant Russia is trying to put out for Ihor’s arrest or at least expulsion from Switzerland as an embarrassment to the Swiss.
I see pro-Maidan Twitter feeds howling that Merkel and Hollande are ‘cementing Russian occupation’ and that ‘Ukrainian daily casualties are at their highest level’ of the war.
I see the Ukies having to spin retreats into morale victories, like blowing up an arms depot in Donetsk that will be smoldering for days and pretending that 300 of their National Guard troops were simply able to ‘slip out’. I rather suspect some of them either stripped off their uniforms and deserted or were allowed to leave by the NAF. I see Ruptly footage at this hour of the teenage and not quite men Ukie conscripts (probably mostly locals) in Donetsk being hugged by their weeping and laughing mothers.
I see Strelkov growing in confidence and suggesting that any Ukie assault to take Slovyiansk will meet devastating losses (most likely that means Strelkov just received a shipment of Koronets or other antitank weapons that would carve up any column driving into the city). The Ukies strong point beseiging Slovyiansk the Karachun hill has come under increased if sporadic heavy mortar fire.
In short, whatever big offensive Choco-Poro has up his sleeve, Kiev’s military efforts looks shambolic and pathetic right now. There is no serious prospect of economic relief for Ukraine as a whole or better pay promised by Choco-Poro to the troops in sight.
In conclusion, Novorossiya is not yet liberated. But I see this as 1942-43 for the NAF/Red Army, not 1941-42 for the regime/Wehrmacht. Slovyianska-grad has lived up to its name and with resupply from an open Russian border with Luhansk it will hold.
It’s all downhill for the junta from here both militarily and economically even if they can launch the equivalent of the failed WW2 1943 Kursk offensive or spoiling Kharkov attack soon.
https://twitter.com/MiddleEast_BRK/status/483203781669453824
Last comment of the evening on the military situation: even the pro-Ukie sites are starting to get nervous at the military situation, seeing as how the vast bulk (actually almost all save for some Right Sector thugs and training units) of Ukraine’s forces are now deployed in the East. This to me too seems consistent with the military ‘advisors’ to Choco-Poro wondering if Putin is arranging the chessboard for a big takedown of Ukie forces. Maybe NATO HQ in Brussels is nervous about that rumored mid-July date as well?
A commenter basically told the proprietor of the Ukraine at War blog that he fears Putin is planning a giant pincer move from the south and north to encircle Ukie forces. The commenter also points out how the Ukie forces have completely lost SAM and radar coverage over much of Novorossiya while railroads that would be useful to evacuating armor and vehicles are being blown up by the insurgents (in reality the destruction could be Right Sector’s doing just to damage the industrial infrastructure of the Donbass).
The Ukie blogger replies that this is no big deal as Russian aircraft haven’t penetrated Ukie air space yet (except he claims for the false flag air strike on Lugansk, since he dropped the junta’s laughable ‘MANPAD striking an air conditioner unit’ theory). He also says the railroads would be unsuitable for a Ukie retreat as vehicles on trains would be sitting ducks anyway (he’s right about that) for air strikes or sabotage derailments by the NAF.
http://ukraineatwar.blogspot.nl/2014/06/strategic-considerations.html
Personally I’m not certain Putin will directly intervene. But I do think THE THREAT of direct Russian intervention is getting more frightening to the junta if not its puppetmasters in Washington. Because Choco-Poro and even the regime’s ardent supporters understand if Putin drops the hammer the defeat will be crushing, and dispersing 500,000 AKs to the population of Ukraine outside Novorossiya would do little to change this.
Again, history doesn’t repeat but it ryhmes. 70 years ago Soviet partisans blowing up rail lines cut off Army Group Centre’s axis of retreat as the Red Army drove for the Vistula. Perhaps we are seeing something similar with the NAF setting the Ukies up for a mid-July encirclement that stops at the Dnieper.

“Russian Spring” as a concept comes from Alexander Dugin on March 9, 2014, who has been eerily prescient about the actual course of events to date in Ukraine. An English Language summary was posted on March 10 to nationalreview.com

Many Russian’s like the .su domain name for obvious reasons – su = Soviet Union.
One more thing about rusvesna.su, how likely is it if it is a secret “Anti-Novorossiya” group controlled by the CIA that it is able to get close to live videos of Strelkov in Slavyansk or Bolotov in Lugansk and post them to the web, apparently as part of an elaborate propaganda ruse according to this conspiracy theory?
This seems about as credible as the claims by Tymchuk and the like that the damage seen in Slavyansk is caused by Strelkov shelling the town with Nona.

Given this exposure in the Russian internet, it’s probable the “seer” horseshit is one of those usual zionazi attempts to counter such exposure of their goytoys. Seen the tactic repeated often enough before when the zio-sods try to head off unfavourable exposure by muddying the waters with that sort of spam.
Military positioning and force levels indicate the Ukies are in holding positions, as if they expect a counter-offensive. Actually, they are in a ready-to-retreat mode.
They could be carved up if enough guerrillas were available. Another 4000 volunteers could eliminate most of the tanks and APC’s in a fortnight. Doing it faster would attract a lot of possible reactions. Taking two weeks or so do the job fast, yet not with any diplomatic or NATO backlash.
I think that will be the next ratchet setting Putin will use if diplomacy doesn’t move the Army of Ukraine back in its barracks and conscripts sent back to mommy.
I tend to think many platoons, companies and battalions of volunteers are training, equipping, studying aerial maps, and planning operations across the border. This would be going on amidst all those surprise exercises of the Russian armed forces Putin is calling. Good cover for the volunteers.
With volunteers led by the right leadership (Spetsnaz) and bolstered with experienced men, the Ukies army in the East will be reduced to a long distance track team. I am sure Obama can get a shoe contract for the oligarchs.
In the Right Sector areas, there will liquidation as the Russians apply that doctrine in the Caucasus. They will give us a body count when it is over. But the only ones to escape will be swimming out into the Black Sea.
Order of Battle is a telltale sign of Ukie weakness.
Ragtag, crimiinal, exposed are less technical descriptions, but easily understood.
Once a large, professional force goes after them, as I suggest may be forming beyond Rostov, the tide will turn forever. The East will be secured. And NATO and the US will go back into their Situation Rooms and change their underwear.
Putin will be doing something like this if they continue to avoid the polite ending he offers them.
Timing? When the situation on the ground says it is time. A battlefield prepares itself for combat. Good strategists know this.
Sleep well. The enemy prepares his own defeat.

I was going to respond substantively on your preposterous comment regarding the video of Streamer Vlad (the 16-year-old kidnapped by Right Sector), but it would be a waste of time.
Suffice it to say, you are wrong. The person interrogating him has been identified as a Nazi radical, Pavel Venyaminovich Kirilenko, MP in the 7th Ukrainian Rada and Chairperson of the Odessa regional “Svoboda” chapter. The second person who was photographed with Vlad is yet another Nazi radical, Andrey Dzindzia, you can find his FB account at https://www.facebook.com/dzindzia.
So, I suggest you do some proper research before making ludicrous claims. Yet another “silver platter” armchair analyst. Thankfully, you were alone in your disbelief.

This is first time I’ve seen you say anything about it.
To Bot Tak: In this case I must concur with Andrew. I’ve seen nothing about SoutheastFront that would lead me to conclude that it’s putting out deliberate disinfo.
Being hosted in San Jose, Costa Rica doesn’t indicate that the authors or editors are actually located in Central America. Costa Rica has been a US friendly but neutral country like Switzerland since the late 1940s, when it officially abolished its army following a failed coup.
IMPORTANT:
I posted this info to another thread, but it’s worth considering in a thread all its own. The new Russian-made film “Fascism as Is” shows facts even I who’ve been closely following the Ukraine crisis since February was not aware of. For example, that after the Kiev sniper false flag but before the Odessa massacre there was another murderous provocation in mid-April in Mariupol.
This city near the Sea of Azov seems to have been a hub of junta regime fascist atrocities, and a key point for suppressing the rebellion from Kiev and the oligarchs’ POV, especially Kholomoisky’s. The two unarmed civilians gunned down in the streets on 9 May by Nazi Guard were not the first civilian victims in that town.
This would explain why the Nazi Guard were called ‘fascists’ and ‘killers’ on YouTube videos filmed that day even before the word spread around town that the Nazi Guard had burned out the local police station, killing 20 policemen inside of it (see Graham W. Phillips’ timeline on his blog for more on that).
What this film reveals to the world is that 12 unarmed Mariupol residents were shot dead on the orders of a Svoboda Party member National Guard commander in mid-April. Mind you mid-April was before the junta launched the ‘anti terror operation’. The eyewitnesses in Mariupol interviewed for this documentary say the shooting of peaceful protesters happened after 400 people rallied outside a Ukie National Guard post and used a bullhorn to request the release of local conscripts inside to their families. The activists say their goal was to prevent soldiers from being ordered to shoot family members or fellow citizens of Mariupol or the Donbass. The Ukie Svoboda Party commander allegedly locked his officers in a room and then ordered eight hand picked Nazi Guardsmen to open fire, killing 12 and wounding many more.
Please note that unlike some of the videos about the Odessa massacre that report many missing, this film actually names the 12 shooting victims and interviews witnesses who say they attended or knew people who saw the victims dead and buried.
Shooting unarmed civilians is either consistent with the actions of an enraged Ukie Nazi Svoboda Party member, or a deliberate provocation ordered to further enflame tensions in Mariupol and set up the town for occupation by Kiev loyalist/Western Ukie forces.
Now, if the Nazi Guardsmen/Svoboda in uniform were capable of such things in mid-April before combat had occurred and the junta took serious losses, imagine the kind of atrocities they’re willing to commit now near Krasniy Liman or Kramatorsk.

@ Gleb — I was about to respond that being personally implicated in the torture and murder of a kidnapped ANNA stringer might’ve been enough of a deterrent against further depredations against teenage Vlad by the Odessa Nazi (hmmmm…that’s appropriate..wasn’t ODESSA the acronym for the former SS men association the Vatican and OSS/CIA created ratlines to South America for like Klaus Barbie?).
ANNA’s video and reporting has been a thorn in Kiev’s side for some time and it’s possible pressure was applied from the top down to release Vlad just as Graham W. Phillips was ordered released after a social media campaign.
Yes Right Sector are a bunch of Nazi thugs but even vicious Nazi dogs can have their leashes yanked now and then if it looks bad enough for Kiev.
Concur with Larchmonter, as I posted in another comment on the military situation, the EuroMaidanPR twitter feeds and Ukie military blogs are dripping nervousness. They don’t seem so cocky about the final victory anymore or the ease of rolling up the Russian border crossings with Lugansk region. I do think a Russian guerilla offensive is in the works, including against the Ukie units still holding out at Donetsk and Lugansk airports.
That’s merely a matter of mustering the arty and shells required while making it clear their resupply situation is hopeless even from the air.
I suspect the NAF’s ‘captured’ SAMs and the Ukies vehement denials of it are also part of maskirovka for the NAF getting a few radar guided SAMs off Grandfather Frost’s turnip truck.
Last comment of the night for me, addressed to Bot Tak: WhoIs searches are not adequate in of themselves. People pay for private hosting all the time which means in plain English a WhoIs search only reveals the hosting company and their tech support phone number, not the name or names of the person/s behind a particular website. One cannot draw any conclusions from the fact that EuroMaidanPR and InfoResist have the same set up, since lots of other e-commerce websites not related to politics or Ukraine do as well.
BOT TAK:

The Alexa search gives a slightly different result on the ranking, but the number is still amazingly high to me for an essentially amateur site. Its around the same ranking as my hometown newspaper website – philly.com

“To Bot Tak: In this case I must concur with Andrew. I’ve seen nothing about SoutheastFront that would lead me to conclude that it’s putting out deliberate disinfo.”
They seem to gather reports from quite a few Russian language sources, and usually attribute the source in their post. I have not seen any condemnation of rusvesna.su in Russian sources. Likewise I have not seen anything at rusvesna that really looked like anti-Novorossia propaganda.

“The Alexa search gives a slightly different result on the ranking, but the number is still amazingly high to me for an essentially amateur site. Its around the same ranking as my hometown newspaper website – philly.com”
It’s a main source of info. I believe I saw that voicesevas.ru was getting 100’s of 1000’s of daily page views.
There is good reason the zionazi media [sorry Saker, but it’s the reality] is running scared of the independent web.
American Kulak:
For example, that after the Kiev sniper false flag but before the Odessa massacre there was another murderous provocation in mid-April in Mariupol.
I recall reading about that shooting, as it was the same time as the 25th Paratroopers surrendered in Slavyansk. Most press claimed there were 3 deaths or 1 death.
The event in Mariupol in mid-April was covered and distorted as follows:
http://ipad.aol.com/article/2014/04/17/attack-on-national-guard-base-in-mariupol-leaves-3-dead/20871024/
http://ukraineinvestigation.com/shooting-mariupol-1-dead-multiply-wounded/
The Ukraine Investigation Maidanites claim it was Base 3057. I have no reason to not believe this.
http://www.uatoday.info/?p=726&lang=en
This Maidanite website names the base deputy commander as Alexander Kalinychenko
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/17/fatal-clashes-ukrainian-military-base
The Guardian’s account seems much closer to what you report the Ukie disinformation sites. It dismisses the claims of Tymchuk that this was a Russian military provocation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariupol_standoff
Some information has begun to be recorded on Wikipedia that only glosses on events we know to have occurred.
http://www.veooz.com/news/tH5atB5.html
Veooz site claims to have some pictures and links to several articles on the events.
http://azh.kz/en/news/view/3636
This site has a quote from the local DNR forces on the ground stating: “Meanwhile, rebels who earlier seized the city administration of Mariupol reported that they have no relation to capture of military facility and consider it a provocation. The said to Interfax news agency that they didn’t authorize such operation. “With probability of 90% we can say that the attempt to storm the military facility was made by visiting people and not the local forces of self-defense. We even don’t have those types of arms which they used during the storm of the military facility”, – said the rep local rebels.”
http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2014/04/battling-for-control-of-eastern-ukraine/100719/
The Atlantic has two pictures of the event in Mariupol and shows one of the wounded.
http://www.antiguaobserver.com/three-dead-in-east-ukraine-putin-warns-of-abyss/
Here the base commander is named as Major Oleksandr Kolesnichecnko.
Does any of this comport with what you watched in the film?

“Ok. Third attempt: вот так, I would appreciate it if you could cut out the mantric repetition of the prefix ‘zio’ as it is becoming rather tedious.”
Well then, what should I call the things? I looked up your second “warning”. Disappointing. It was a defense of an obvious zionist troll, who had already been exposed as such.
Censorship suck most when it hides the Israeli/zionist Jewish role.
About my post on rusvesna.su
My claim about a website using ‘private person’ to hide an identity for disinfo purposes is valid. I am not saying all websites that use that name are disinfo, just it is a common name used by those that are.
If you research this you will also come across several domain privacy or domains by proxy services. I am not saying that all sites that use these services are doing something shady, but the majority of sites that are use them.
This is nothing new and those who have been around the web and in the business of websites for a while have seen this and it is very common.
As far as cloudflare.com being a site that can prevent denial of service attacks, that is hogwash. That is just a marketing gimick.
Anyone remember Doku Umarov? He was the Chechen who threatened the Sochi games and a well know terrorist setting off bombs in Russia and sending mercs to Syria. The website used by him to display his carnage was kavkazcenter.com (a known CIA front) which is hosted by the very same company, cloudflare.com
As far as the registrant email I posted, it is listed using the whois service at http://who.is/
If you are questioning my ability to find the location of an IP, look into GEOIP services. IP blocks are allocated to regions on the globe and databases are put together comprising city, state, country, lat/long coords, etc. Try http://geoiptool.com/ for a simple interface. This is also nothing new. I use these services to display websites in the correct language and redirct to appropriate content when needed.
Now, do I know if rusvesna.su is disinfo, or as some like to use the term ‘5th column’, no. I have no proof one way or the other. But it shares many of the patterns that disinfo sites use. I made no claim that it was deceiving anyone in any way. I was only posting a warning that it may.
Am I above being fooled, no. In fact last week I posted here a couple of stories from globalaffairs.ru that I thought were valid. Then a few days later I read some other stuff on that site and others at valdaiclub.com that did not seem to be straight. So a little digging and I find both are associated with The Carnegie Foundation and feeds them many of the stories.
All I am saying is that there is a massive amount of information on the internet and most of it is misdirection, disinformation, or just flat out lies. I think we all have a responsibility to warn each other when sites are suspect so as a group we can validate and come to know if it is a trustworth site or author.
Assault of Ukrainian military unit 3004 by people’s self-defense in Donetsk, all conscript prisioners released
Contrast this with what the nazis did to the captured wounded freedom fighters at Krasny Liman Hospital
Reminder from 03.06.2014 :
Two days before treasonous “Putin” celebrates with Kiev’s “democratically elected Poroshenko” the 70th anniversary of D-Day at Normandy, France:
Krasny Liman Hospital, Ukraine – same crimes as Assad’s mercenaries in Syria. In two steps:
1. Destroyed by nazi Artillery. 03.06.2014

2. Hours later nazis murder (most certainly also tortured) 25 injured freedom fighters.

Some recent tweets from: Carlos. @spainbuca
Those chemical weapons were not here two weeks ago, they came from Poland. Spain is suplying technical and artillery materials
Nothing that Kiev does is outside the responsibility of the EU, this place is swarming with agents from Spain, France, Germany, USA and Poland
Russia was supposed to be this monster that was going to kill half the world, and as it turns out the EU is complicit in killings with chemical weapons

I am sorry to disappoint you, but my requests hardly about to censorship of anything, much less so the prefix ‘zio’ which I regularly use myself (as in AngloZionist) and for which I regularly catch hell. However, I do object to what I see as you mantric OVERUSE of it and, especially, your way of passing judgment on other posters about which you know nothing. My concern is that you might be as unfair to them as you are now being unfair to me.
Kind regards,
The Saker
The situation around/in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk as reported today in Voice of Russia sounds grim. Food critically scarce in K especially, water hard to come by, sewage/sanitation absent absent, hundreds injured, tens of thousands hungry, children terrified. How long before cholera, even typhus?
It is clear that Kiev intends to crush resistance in these cities- hoping to break the morale of the resistance- by making life intolerable if not impossible for the civilian population.
My question is: How much of this will Moscow take. I don’t buy the notion that Kiev is “desperate” to bring about Russian intervention. Nothing–aside of course from direct invasion– is more dangerous to an incumbent regime than the return of a hoard of beaten, humiliated, angry soldiers. This, in the current case, would almost guarantee a schism between the phony gov’t in Kiev and the western oblasts and, very possibly, their secession.
If this had happened a few years ago when I was working in central Europe….well enough said. Everyone has to know that this blog is being scrutinized with particular intensity by the orcs and goblins who seem now in control of our homeland.

OK, I misunderstood and thought you wanted me to stop using the zionist reference pretty much altogether. I’ll stop using it in descriptions of commenters as you asked, unless the person makes it obvious themselves that they are a zionist.
