It seemed hard to imagine, when Russian airline Aeroflot began reporting that Ukraine had sent them an official order banning all Russian men between the age of 16 and 60 from entering the Ukraine. The ban also applies to all Crimeans, including women.
With so many false narratives out there, this seemed like just another, but Ukraine’s border service confirmed that the policy was in place, and part of a policy of limiting access to “undesirable individuals.”
The official defense of the policy went on to claim that the measures were a response to the “risk of possible terrorist acts” by ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, where protesters hold considerable territory.
Russia blasted the policy as “disgusting,” going on to term it a “discriminatory and unfriendly act.” Aeroflot said that they will offer travelers a full refund for any tickets to Ukraine.
Hitlerism was against Jews, Ukrainian government is about Jews and Russians and IMF is a handy tool for such government recognized by USG and EU, even though non been "officially" elected by the people of Ukraine.
I'm as much a Ukriaine-sceptic as the next antiwar.com reader, but surely barring the entry of military age men from a country that has just snatched a chunk of your territory and is currently stirring up a whole heap of trouble on your Eastern flank is, well, a sensible precaution.
The use of Officially in relation to the Ukraine Government is a JOKE, it wasn't elected hence it has no existence! The Ukraine Constitution allows only for a Government that has been elected! Only an elected Government is Lawful and legal!
This stems from the use of private contractors' mercenaries in Crimea and now, Donetsk. Nobody saw them come in, nobody saw them leave. That suggests that they entered in ones and twos, in ordinary clothes. Thus, such a ban makes sense as part of the campaign to exclude foreign elements. No country on earth would act any differently.
But all the mercenaries from US and Europe are welcome to stay as long as the Ukrainian crises is not solved, that is to say if it ever will. Which bring us to the question why cia director in Ukraine last weekend, he was looking for a safe house for his man and ones that are missing, more then a dozen of them.
