Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk today declared that in spite of the ceasefire with rebels in the east, the country remains “in a state of war” with neighboring Russia.
Yatsenyuk pushed NATO to immediately admit Ukraine as a member and join the war on Russia, claiming the nation is a “threat to the global order and to the security of the whole of Europe.”
Russia brokered the current ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, and today sent another convoy of 215 trucks full of humanitarian aid into the rebel-held city of Luhansk. The Luhansk rebels promised not to use any of the food aid for themselves, but to distribute it to civilians.
The question of how long the ceasefire will hold remains an open one, though President Petro Poroshenko has offered increased autonomy as part of the negotiated settlement. Reuters reported explosions were heard in the rebel city of Donetsk, but what, if anything, actually happened remains unclear.
Right, let's put these madmen in NATO. What could go wrong?
Russia SHOULD then respond to Ukraine's declaration of war — and solve quite a few problems. In Kyev, nobody knows who is speaking for the country. President Poroshenko apparently is not listened by anyone, even though he is the only person elected after the coup. People in "government" have moved into the armchairs of the government from the street, wielding iron bars and chains, having shot over 200 people just for the effect. Police was not armed with firearms! Now, who is commanding the army? How many private armies there are? Over 250. Kolomoyski, the tycoon with most private armies under his control, is responsible for horrendous civilian deaths, including beheadings, burning people alive and shelling their homes, churches, hospirtals, bread factories, water, sewer and electric utilities. Who is responsible — when it is not clear who issues the orders. Poroshenko is afraid of these people — and is trying to cut a deal with Russia for at least a cease fire, and prisoner exchange. But — the private armies are not respecting the deal. In fact, unless Russia takes our "Yatz" Yatsenyuk seriously, and obliges him with some real war, the chaos will continue. Since nether EU nor US support peace plan — obviously that "Yatz" and his buddy Kolomayev, will continue with "punitive" assault on population centers of the East Ukraine. The only language these thugs will understand is some humanitarian bombing, a little "no fly zone" and "responsiblity to protect" — all that Russia can provide and make the clowns think a bit — they will not get anyone to come and rescue them from their stupidity.
Can somebody shut that Yatsenyuk up already? We should join the war against Russia- nuclear exchange, anyone?
If you hadn't overthrown your elected President and then done so many things to enrage your enormously powerful neighbor, none of this would be happening. Now after you did all that you're expecting other people to risk vaporization to rescue your pride. Face it: you lost. Make the best deal you can.
Didn't that guy quit once, anyway?
Oh Yatsy boy. You soon will be an expendable dupe when your master Victoria Nuland is done using you.
And why isn't the UN helping the civilians? Ask Amerika…
The Kiev Nazi putsch junta are in a war with itself, for their survival. Every unelected fascist coup regime need unrest and war in order to stay in office, like Chile, simple as that, hence the hot air rhetoric, the desperate provocations against Russia, the killings of thousands of civilians and their infrastructure, journalists etc etc.
In a free and fair election, they would probably not even make it into the Rada, So no such thing is going to happen, the US will see to that but the putsch junta will inevitably implode very very soon and after what happens, the US, israel and their €Uro vassals will beg Russia to intervene…
Like Obama, Chocolate king Poroshenko is a figure head. Yatsenyuk was chosen and put in charge of the Kiev junta by the neocons who engineered the coup. To confirm it, simply listen to recorded conversation between Victoria Nuland and her fellow conspirators.
Hey stupid, if you get your wish your "country" will be the first to become a glass covered parking lot.
Given the feeble and ineffective response by the Ukrainian military to the pro Russia separatists in the east of Ukraine, it seems both crazy and highly embarrassing for the Ukraine PM to go around boasting that his nation is "at war" with the neighboring superpower. I guess he didn't take his "political spin" class.
Anyone with any sense would be minimizing this conflict and would not want to drag Russian further into it. One would not want to issue provocative statements escalating the situation. Given all the past exaggerated or false claims made by Ukraine about the "Russian invasion" you'd think this guy would just shut up and ponder excuses for his laughable military. But no…
Obviously these wild statements are done to bait the NATO countries and cry "wolf" once again. Russia has Ukraine on the ropes in an embarrassing situation. If Putin is wise he will just keep things stewing along. Eventually the political situation will emerge and Ukraine will be seen for what it is: just another welfare client of the EU, wanting others to subsidize their foolishness and lack of political credibility. I doubt if Putin even wants eastern Ukraine. Lots of hungry mouths to feed. Better to let NATO send them food stamps.
Yatz is feeling almighty. He is doing what neocons tell him — and that is maximum pressure on Russia, resulting in maximum pressure on Europe. Pressure on Europe slowly but surely will lead the helpless Eurpe in the same sheep pen they were shoved into after US "saved' the day on Balkans. This time, weakned Europe will sign on the dotted line — Transatlantic "Partnership", and in the name of creating one large market — US corporations will be "reforming" Europe, from banking to health care. Europe is done. None of the countries has a courage to veto damaging sanctions. All of them are TALKING how bad the sanctions are — but elite is elite. Europena elite is no different then the elite in US — talking one thing, but doing another. To enrich themselves, and damn the people of Europe to poverty.
This is why Yatz is talking BIG. When one representative in Rada spoke on the horrors of civilian devastation in the East — he stood up, ordered her shut up and said : "Kneel in front of Ukrainian Army!"
Everybody kneel in front of might Yatz — for as long as he has Empire behind him, he feels immortal.
I am sure that when Yatseniuk was a kid he already denounced his little comrades to the teacher.I am sure he has not changed.Where to find some withnesses ?
CZAR PUTIN THE TERRIBLE PROPOSING A PEACEPLAN? THAT'S REALLY AN EVIL JOKE THAT IS COSTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES. HE IS THE LITTLE GREEN MAN IN THE KREMLIN THAT SENT SPETNATZ MOSCOW RESIDENT STRELKOV AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER LITTLE GREEN MEN INTO UKRAINE TO AGITATE THE PEOPLE IN EASTERN UKRAINE. PUTIN IS THE ONE WHO SENT HEAVY ARMAMENTS WITH HIS INVADING FORCE- HE IS THE ONE WHO ORDERED SHELLING AND BOMBING OF UKRAINE FROM THE RUSSIAN SIDE OF THE BORDER. THE MAN IS A BORN LIAR. THE ONLY PEACE HE WANTS IS AT THE POINT OF HIS GUN.
