I saw this on Fort Russ.An article about Ukrainian “heroes” the junta allowed to attack Donbass.Men with “European Values” spreading the democracy sanctioned by the NATO states:
“Ukrainian Interior Ministry’s battalion of convicts terrorized Donbass for a year”
“A year later, it has become increasingly obvious, that Maidan, declaring the triumph of the rule of law, but being itself committed illegally, gave rise to such monstrosities as volunteer punitive battalions that are the epitome of lawlessness and violence. Last week the entire Ukraine learned about battalion “Tornado”, the members of which are accused of torture, rape and murder of not even captured enemies, but civilians in places of deployment.
This is what was said by the chief military prosecutor of the Kiev junta, Matios:
“Arbitrariness and torture of people is a violation of the law. Because of mutual responsibility on the blood, spilled by the soldiers of “Tornado”, none of them is testifying against each other. The unit videotaped their atrocities. The company consists of around 50 previously convicted persons.” As far as company commander, Onishchenko, the Prosecutor noted that “in his life there was a tragic experience of five occasions of criminal responsibility, indicating relapse”.
I wonder how Mr. Matios, who became the chief military prosecutor in August 2014, will explain to the people of Ukraine that almost for a year there was a battalion in the country, consisting almost entirely of criminals? Why, while Matios was the chief military prosecutor, battalion “Shakhtersk” disbanded for looting was allowed to morph into other battalions with the same persons in charge?
Ukrainian citizens can ask the Interior Minister, Avakov – how previously convicted persons comprising the battalions “Shakhtersk” and “Tornado” were able to receive police ranks and become regular employees of the Interior Ministry?
Hardly Matios and Avakov will answer this question. For one simple reason – having come to power illegally, arming the same criminals, they are de facto the organizers and accomplices of crimes committed by the volunteers from the penal battalion:
“The man in the basement of the school, where “Tornado” was based, was chained to athletic equipment, raped in an unnatural manner, then killed. It’s hard for me to talk about it. But we know of at least 10 people who were subjected to such acts by “Tornado” – Matios.” http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/06/ukrainian-interior-ministrys-battalion.html
He seems to be blogging fulltime and has a team of helpers, even a video channel. He is safely in Crimea but has a huge range of contacts all over; his readers and commenters include active servicemen all over Donbass, and less visible people in other territories. I expect they will get a good archive together. Let’s hope it’s not long before some authority arises that is interested in such a collection.
The Ombudsman one refers mostly to actions wrongly taken or omitted by DPR authorities (and the sections are mostly blank). It’s where you go to fill the form if the local police roughed you up, or someone refused to rent to you because of the language you speak.
The other one has the map with the count of total incidents. Most of those are reports of deaths and damage to buildings because of shelling. It is nowhere near complete. They do go out and record fresh damage every time; I’ve seen even video with the addresses of that day’s damage scrolling over the top of the images.
The Cassad collection is aimed at areas in Kiev control, and hopes to collect data on older incidents, too. Victims or witnesses may now be somewhere they can safely record what happened, with as much as they know of the perpetrators. Even if it’s just “happened in X street and looked like the Y brigade stationed in the school at Z street” that might co-ordinate with other actions and be traceable to actual persons. People forced to share a small town with a Right Sector territorial brigade would get to know a lot about who they are and what they’re up to.
I really hope that eventually the crimes of the volunteer nazis and guards catch up to them. Hopefully Russia is taking names and dates and will prosecute these murderers after the conflict ends in a Russian victory and a Russian-friendly government in Kiev.
You can see their goal is beyond Donbass. They want to fight a direct war against Russia. Imagine the delusion of the mind that could construct such a concept.
He and another Senator, Barrasso (who happens to be a medical doctor, too) demonstrate that the love of death and chaos created by safe, secure and sanitary bombing from altitudes or distances via missiles is an American brain-washed input.
Most US media watchers actually believe these bombs and missiles represent ‘good’, ‘liberty’, ‘democracy” and ‘the American way of life’ for all.
If we could just kill all the bad guys . . .
Never underestimate the desire for such a policy.
This has been a continuum in American psyche for 70 years, despite Korean War debacle, Vietnam War travesty, and the endless parade of macabre military ventures that have shamed a once great nation.
It has become a psycho-sexual-political complexity. As America senses its impotence vis-a-vis the ultra-potent Putin and the rising eminence of China and Russia, all the while led by a bi-sexual icon of neonatal weakness in all spheres of leadership, Americans want to prove they are still number one in something.
Hell, Iran’s volleyball team just beat the US in a match.
Other than the Olympics of Chaos and Death, what exactly is the US number one in any longer?
That is a huge problem facing all the rest of the world. They have a pathetic but lethal Hegemon who can’t function, who needs intervention to get into therapy, to kick the sado-machochistic psychosis.
It manifests internally in many social perversions. Pedophilia, sexual trafficking and drug abuse are some of the by-products of the psychotic complex.
Externally, it exhibits in war, torture, assassinations, corruption using perversions, and terrorism using perversions.
So when McCain appears, recognize how deep-seated this evangelist of horror and degeneracy is programmed. He isn’t beset with problems of age. He is a product of a profound psychosis that is all America can present. It has overwhelmed the good, the inspiring, the nobel values once projected as unique and worthwhile.
The military Prosecutor of Ukraine Anatoly Matios made a statement in February this year :
“Military prosecutors investigated 5 870 thousand criminal cases of 16 598 soldiers.
1 648 troops were charged with acts of disobedience to the command;
3 200 soldiers were charged with unauthorized abandonment of service, for not longer than ten days ;
10 266 soldiers were charged with desertion ”
Meanwhile another wave of mobilization (6th?) was started on June 19.
Bit off topic but not really, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed how being POTUS seemingly piles the age and wrinkles on you. It is a phenomenon I have found endlessly fascinating watching it over the years, and it seems only to apply to presidents of the US. President Putin hasn’t really changed much in appearance despite the years spent as president, neither has Xi Jinping or any other ruler of any nation. But you can bet your last dollar as soon as someone becomes president of America in just a few years their hair turns grey and they become old looking and dissipated.
Guess all that evil really takes it out of a person. I remember when Obomber became president how youthful and fresh faced he looked and look at him now.
I have had a ‘theory’ for a while that prior to running there is a lot of hair coloring and make up used, but after election the make-up artist gradually ‘ages’ the president to make him look more suitable for the role he plays, and it’s obscured what the politician actually looks like with makeup. The acting profession is like that.
The nazis ultra-Ukrainian nationalists may end up killing Poroshenko (not many tears from me).He said in a Ukrainian TV interview (which shocked the interviewer) “”The people of Russia and Ukraine is without doubt the single Slavic people who in no way should not have to fight each other”. You can bet there are some “boiling” nationalists about now furious over that.All their nationalism is based on Ukrainians not being the same people.And here their own leader just admitted the truth.
And other the other hand.One of Poroshenko’s advisers says the junta should not accept Minsk2 and choose war instead:
“Kiev regime threw the “challenge” of the European Union 06.21.2015
The newspaper “The Mirror of the Week” made advisor to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Gorbulin, director of the National Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of Ukraine.
After analyzing the simulation of the Minsk Agreement, Gorbulin said that, under this scenario, the DNI and LC formally remains a part of Ukraine, possibly on condition of giving them special powers. Economic ties between these territories and the rest of the Ukraine to be restored, which means that Ukraine will take on the economic burden of reconstruction of destroyed areas of Donbass. At the same time, de facto, will operate in the Donbas political regime friendly Russian Federation, which will try to influence the Ukrainian foreign and domestic policy.
All this calls Gorbulin any cost to prevent.
“It is clear that Ukraine in the case of this scenario significantly slow down on the road to Europe, get a source of political instability and economic burden in the face of” affected “regions dependent. At the same time, expect a quiet life as not worth it, because the conflict would heat and further destabilizing the situation threatened return to the active phase “- the author writes.
At the same time adviser to Poroshenko it recognizes that the cessation of active hostilities in the Donbas and reconciliation in such a scenario will give European countries an excuse for lifting the sanctions against the Russian Federation and its political leaders, the restoration of economic ties that will boost economic growth in Russia.
However, the European leaders will be able to fully turn their attention to the solution of problems within the EU, that will boost their political ratings, as opposed to strengthening the “fatigue” of the continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, the Kiev regime is not satisfied with this option, because “in the long term Ukraine will remain unattractive state of permanent crisis with a significant number of representatives of various international organizations.”
“In general, the implementation of this scenario would be in the best interests of both Russia and EU, but not in Ukraine, especially in the long term,” – writes Gorbulin.
Recall also that V.Gorbulin suggested instead of performing the Minsk Agreement to conduct an all-out war with Russia, from which, in his opinion, Ukraine can get the winner.”
With this kind of thinking, faith of Ukraine is sealed- European Zimbabwe even worse with constant terror & killings. .they do not see what blind hate can ” accomplish”…
Here is a good video of the Donbass militia expressing their reasons for fighting with english subtitles. The little girl giving a speech near the end is really touching.
I immensely enjoy reading Sakers posts, that´s why i came here, but nowadays it´s like buying your favorite comic. Two pages of the magazine and the rest is complement.It´s so disappointing.
Not necessarily bad complement but still, this is Sakers blog after all, how hard can it be to write at least one, preferably two decent stories a week and a comment on this or that? Especially when you have people out there.
Every time I read the MSM on a slow day here.I come away more convinced than ever that we are on a march to war.I think I know how people felt in early July 1914.They knew something bad was coming (just not when and how bad it would be). I just hope it can be quick,NATO defeated and dismembered. And the wars survivors able to rebuild.There are too many in the West that are lathering for a war.Too many bad rulers in the West.And too many uneducated brainwashed people (soon to be cannon fodder),to prevent it.I could be wrong of course.But if History can be a guide for the future,I’m not.
Dark night has descended on my city,
But it is light like a day from explosions,
When the whole world is blind, and doesn’t want to help,
It means democracy came to your home…
Glory to the heroes, who came with war,
To harass, to kill, to take what’s not theirs,
Who made me an enemy, but
They didn’t take into account that:
I will not abandon my city,
I will take on the deadly fight
When enemy is at the gates.
I don’t want another freedom,
I will not return home
When enemy is at the gates
Injustice, blockade, pain and cold –
Nothing will force us to surrender.
We miss those who left the city,
And are proud of those who stayed.
I will not abandon my city,
I will take on the deadly fight,
When enemy is at the gates.
I don’t want another freedom,
I will not return home,
When enemy is at the gates.

They need to get one to roll over, then go search the nearby forests for bodies.
Meanwhile Colonel Cassad has started a secure website for documenting all war crimes anyone knows details about. Especially about who did them.
http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2243605.html
He seems to be blogging fulltime and has a team of helpers, even a video channel. He is safely in Crimea but has a huge range of contacts all over; his readers and commenters include active servicemen all over Donbass, and less visible people in other territories. I expect they will get a good archive together. Let’s hope it’s not long before some authority arises that is interested in such a collection.
There is another one, shared between a human rights org in Moscow http://sprz.org/1_17.html and an Ombudsman in Donetsk , http://ombudsmandnr.org/ru/?option=com_offencemap
It feels ‘friendlier’-not just a virtual blackbox with by-email submission; and has a searchable map and database.
But it only got 8 murder incidents listed so far (covering Jan-May 2015) http://sprz.org/1_25_990_1_989_04.html and seems slow updating.
Wonder is it even active at all. (Or maybe they only list cases with a court hearing potential).
The Ombudsman one refers mostly to actions wrongly taken or omitted by DPR authorities (and the sections are mostly blank). It’s where you go to fill the form if the local police roughed you up, or someone refused to rent to you because of the language you speak.
The other one has the map with the count of total incidents. Most of those are reports of deaths and damage to buildings because of shelling. It is nowhere near complete.

(The sign behind the warmonger McPain in Kiev.)

There are (apparently identical) re-posts of this sobering statement on Russian blogs attributing this to Ukrainian Radio -1 channel , e.g. http://www.yaplakal.com/forum1/topic1140734.html
But than Yatseniuk said to McCain that it’s exactly the opposite http://www.ukrinform.ua/rus/news/yatsenyuk_makkeynu_mi_s_rossiyanami_raznie_narodi_i_raznie_gosudarstva_1756936
(Well maybe currency and GDP not where they should be, and somebody performance of direct duties is lacking? )
Sobering statement? some of the commenters suggest drunkenness may have had something to do with it.
If it takes drunkenness to get him speaking the truth for once.Lets all chip in to buy him a large case of Vodka.
