As Ukraine continues its military operations in the eastern portion of the country, protests erupted in the southwestern port city of Odessa, with pro-regime and pro-Russia demonstrators clashing with one another.
Police reported at least eight killed directly in the fighting in the streets, and as the protesters fought some of the pro-Kiev protesters set fire to a union hall nearby, killing 38 others. Scores of others were wounded, and reports suggest many others are still trapped in the building.
The situation in Odessa started with a football rally, with fans of a team backed by the Right Sector marching in the streets. When news hit of the Slovyansk invasion, protesters supportive of the rallies in the east took to the streets, and the two crowds met and fought. Right Sector supporters reportedly also attacked a stationary protest camp set up to express support for the easterners.
Though some protests in support of the easterners have happened in Odessa and other western cities, this is the first time major violence has erupted outside of the protest region around Donetsk.
The only ones that are attacking and killing people of south and eastern Ukraine are those that are supported by people as Carl Bildt, a Neo fascist and far right aristocrats Swedish foreign minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen the head of NATO: ” Horrible with at least 38 dead in Odessa. Seems to have started with pro-Russian attempt to get control of buildings. Violence must stop!” Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt wrote on Twitter. Earlier, Bildt blamed “pro-Russian thugs” for the street violence in Odessa”, this man is lying so is the entire far right Swedish government, they were the first in line to travel to Ukraine and accepting the new fascism as Ukrainian government, so is the case with EU governing body and USG. Russia needs to act and act quickly, that is to say, stop talking at UN Security Council, they are not to obey the laws of any and no matter by who, these Neo fascist governments have outlawed the laws. That is to say if Russia wants to keep its rights and the rights of Ukrainian people, they need to act now.
With breathtaking hypocrisy the British UN ambassador describes Russia’s response to violence in Ukraine as……”breathtaking hypocrisy”. According to this rat helicopter gunships firing on civilians in Ukraine is ” a proportionate response” but Syrian gunships firing on civilians is a war crime make up your mind mate or at least check with your neocon masters what your mind is.
"check with your neocon masters what your mind is."
Or just call Victoria Nuland….. She seems to be the go to source for Ukraine regime change….. Does she tell Kerry whose cow to milk…??? Is Obama really in charge of this regime change debacle we see on Youtube…??? Listen to the tone of Ambassadors Pyatt's voice when disagreeing with the Neocon Goddess… It's here:
………………………………. Gotta luv the last line… "Do you need Biden..??? Yaa, for an atta-boy and to get the deeds to stick, and Biden's willing…." Good ole Joe….. Jus steppin an fetchen for "director" Virginia…. or is "O" the director…???
Of course, Russia is to blame for the deaths of pro-Russian protestors.
Truth is that there is more evidence of US meddling in Ukraine than Russian meddling in Ukraine.
The neo Nazis took Yugoslavia against Russia and Chinas wishes I don't hardly think Russia can be expected to give them Ukraine too .
Is "nationalism" the new neocon tactic ? I guess the argument of spreading "democracy" was becoming a bit of a bad joke.
