Anti-Seperatist Operation in Kharkiv

The story is that between dozens and hundreds of Pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings in Eastern cities. (These are cities of about a million.)

Similar amounts of police allowed them to do this with no resistance. They are probably compromised or else trying to create some job security by allowing crises.

Since then, Ukraine reinforced eastern police with units from other parts of the country and also had special units like the one involved here do SWAT-style raids.

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA: Russian Reporter Beaten by the Pro-Yanukovych Thugs he Attempted to Glorify Now Claims it was Maidan Activists

Two months ago, I posted this footage of a Russian reporter beaten by the pro-Yanukovych thugs he had attempted to glorify.

Topaz’s pro-Yanukovych hooligans beat journalist trying to glorify them:

On Russian television, the journalists says anti-Russian Maidan activists beat him:

He says “I told them I’m a Russian journalist from Moscow and that was it. The conversation finished. [because they started beating me.]”

Incidentally, the thug in the video, Topaz, was captured by protesters and released unharmed. (See here, and here.)

He returned to Kharkiv and was part of the Pro-Russian demonstration that killed two people. (See here.)

Tensions high on Ukraine’s border with Moldova’s breakaway Transnistria

KUCHURGAN, Ukraine — When on April 6 activists of the EuroMaidan Revolution came with Ukrainian flags and flowers from Odessa to Kuchurgan village located on the Ukrainian border with Transdnistria, they didn’t expect such an icy greeting.

The activists tried to organize a symbolic performance, burying a “hatchet of war” and planting a “tree of friendship” near the border line with Moldova’s breakaway region, unrecognized internationally. They covered the tree with a tire painted in blue-and-yellow colors of Ukrainian flag.

But a group of local residents quickly dug out the hatchet, saying that it “will be handy in the household” and started a fight with the EuroMaidan activists, urging them to go away. The locals also uprooted and destroyed the tree, Odessa website Vgorode reported.
