The richest man in the Ukraine, the Jew Rinat Akhmetov, had been sneaking around in a Jewy fashion, trying to play both sides of the conflict in his headquarters of Donetsk. While voicing support for a “united Ukraine,” he had not outright condemned the separatists.

This has changed, as he has witnessed that there will be no place for his Jewish scam-mongering in an independent Eastern Ukraine. He has declared openly that the Maidan must march to terrorist victory, and the freedom fighters must be annihilated.

Reuters:

Independent analyst Volodymyr Fesenko said Akhmetov has now recognised that his earlier passive tactics did not work in his favour as the rebellion has continued to grip the region.

“He has understood that his tactic of passive neutrality no longer works. He will have to become an active intermediary between separatists and the government,” Fesenko said.

Sending unarmed workers from Metinvest, Akhmetov’s main metals exports and mining conglomerate, to join patrols with police is not the only sign that the oligarch has decided to take a bolder line to protect the future of his business empire.

Akhmetov, who emerged as head of a private business empire out of violent gang wars in the east in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, normally shuns media interviews and public appearances.

But in a new departure for him on Wednesday, the usually camera-shy oligarch made a four-minute video for Ukrainian TV channels in which he declared: “I strongly believe that Donbass can be happy only in a united Ukraine”.

He threw his weight behind the Kiev government’s plan to devolve more powers to the regions to provide greater autonomy and undercut separatist demands which Kiev fears will lead to the break-up of Ukraine.

Soccer-mad, he owns the FC Shakhtar club, with its flying saucer-like stadium and star-studded multinational squad. He made headlines three years ago by buying a $200-million London apartment.

After having been completely and totally humiliated a few days ago, with almost all of their troops defecting to the opposition and nothing happening but complete and unadulterated failure, the terrorist forces of the Jewish coup “government” of the Maidan have returned for round two.

No clear information on how that’s turning out, thus far.

NYT:

Ukrainian forces were reported on Thursday to be mobilizing in the eastern part of the country against pro-Russian separatists in what could be the beginning of long-promised action, apparently centering on the city of Slovyansk, a stronghold of militants allied with the Kremlin.

Elsewhere, the Ukrainian interim authorities said Thursday that “civilian activists” had regained control of City Hall in the southeastern city of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, forcing pro-Russian protesters to leave without bloodshed.

There was no independent corroboration of the account, published by Arsen Avakov, the interior minister, on Facebook. News reports offered a different version of the events, saying that the building had been stormed by masked men who used baseball bats to beat the occupiers.

In Slovyansk, separatists rang church bells to sound a general alarm, residents reported. The intentions of Ukrainian troops were uncertain, however, and it was not clear whether they sought to storm pro-Moscow positions or merely to isolate them.

North of the city, a separatist commander said, Ukrainian and pro-Russian forces clashed at a roadblock in fighting that left one combatant dead and one wounded. The Interior Ministry in Kiev, the capital, said five people had been killed in fighting around checkpoints.

The events seemed to represent a significant action and a break with an international agreement struck last week in Geneva to defuse tensions.

The clash north of Slovyansk involved Ukrainian troops backed by five light armored vehicles, Reuters reported.

In Mariupol, Mr. Avakov said, the mayoral office was “liberated for normal work” to resume more than a week after pro-Russian protesters first occupied it — part of a string of such moves by allies of the Kremlin, some supported by masked gunmen, in several locations across eastern Ukraine.

Well, things are happening again on the Eastern Front.  The whole place gets more and more Iraq-like, whenever anything happens.

A combination of Eastern regions have declared themselves independent, saying that they will seek federation with Russia.

RIA Novosti:

A group of protesters pushing for broader regional autonomy in Ukraine stormed government buildings in three eastern cities late on Sunday, local media reports said, citing eyewitnesses.

The activists seized the offices of the national security service in Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as the regional administration headquarters in Kharkov, the Donetsk-based Ostrov news agency reported Monday.

Demonstrators in the country’s eastern regions, which are largely Russian-speaking, have called for a variety of responses to the new government in Kiev that came to power in a coup in February.

Residents have called for constitutional reform to create a federal style of government and others have proposed holding Crimea-style referendums to allow individual regions to determine their own status.

Nine people, including both demonstrators and police, were injured in Lugansk on Sunday, local police said. Protesters threw stun grenades, eggs, stones and Molotov cocktails at the building, which caught fire as a result.

Six protesters detained during the attack were released after talking with authorities. The activists also seized an arms room in the building and blockaded a highway, according to the Ostrov news agency.

Several thousand people reportedly took control of a national bank building in Lugansk. Demonstrators flooded the city’s streets, waving Russian flags and chanting “Russia! Russia!”

In Donetsk, protesters also took control of a regional council, building barricades of car tires and barbed wire. Prosecutors have called the events in the city “mass riots.”

Putin is under pressure to help these people, and it seems to me that the West will do what they did with Crimea, and merely complain and do nothing.

And it appears that there was a shooting in Crimea.

New York Times:

A Ukrainian military officer was shot and killed late Sunday night in an altercation with Russian soldiers near an air base in Crimea, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said Monday. It was a rare instance of deadly violence as Ukrainian forces continue their withdrawal from the peninsula following its annexation by Russia.

The Ukrainian officer, Maj. Stanislav Karchevskiy, was killed in a military dormitory where he lived with his wife and two children, next to the Novofedorivka air base in western Crimea, said the spokesman, Vladislav Seleznev.

Mr. Seleznev said that the altercation involved several Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and that there were no other injuries. He said a Russian soldier armed with an automatic weapon entered the dormitory and shot Major Karchevskiy, who was unarmed.

Ukraine’s provisional government in Kiev has ordered its forces to withdraw from Crimea, but an unknown number of military personnel remain on the peninsula as part of the transition, in which some military equipment is being returned to mainland Ukraine.

Mr. Seleznev said that a second Ukrainian officer, Capt. Artem Yarmolenko, was detained by Russian forces for questioning and possibly taken to Sevastopol, where the Russian military has its headquarters in Crimea.

I guess they should have been quicker getting out of the place, shouldn’t they have?

Right Sector is putting on a half-riot in Kiev, sort of a last gasp thing as they realize they are finished and a billionaire Willy Wonka figure, who had nothing to do with the original coup and is in fact a staple in the political system which the revolution was allegedly against.

RT:

Radical activists representing nationalist Right Sector group are attempting to storm Kiev’s Supreme Court building. They have blocked the entrances into the building and surrounded its perimeter.

Around 100 activists prevented Supreme Court employees from entering the building through the back door.

Near the building, a stage has been set up with audio equipment. Car tires have been brought to the building, but haven’t yet been set on fire.

The activists disrupted the convention of judges that was scheduled for Monday.

A few judges, who were in the building before the attack, were led out by the activists shouting “Lustration!”

The protesters are demanding to adopt lustration legislation, which implies that people connected to a former regime may not get office with the new authorities. The far right activists are concerned about the fact that the judicial authorities may grant almost 150 ousted officials with powers, despite their relationship to the ousted president.

The 150 include Viktor Yanukovich, ex-head of presidential administration Andrey Klyuyev, ex-premiers Sergey Arbuzov and Nikolay Azarov, Interior Ministry and judicial officials – as well as their family members.

100 activists, wow.  Great organization, guys.

Here’s a 9 second YouTube of the current happenings.

And there is a body outside Kiev.

Time:

Authorities in Ukraine say the body of a kidnapped journalist who played an active role in protests that led to President Viktor Yanukovych’s ouster in February has been found in a forest some 150 kilometers (60 miles) outside the capital, Kiev.

Cherkassk province prosecutors said Sunday that Vasily Sergiyenko was abducted in his home city of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi on Friday evening and later murdered.

The nationalist Svoboda party, of which Sergiyenko was a member, said the reporter was found with stab wounds and signs of beatings to his head and knees.

Svoboda said the killing bears the hallmarks of a politically motivated hit.

Probably, we’re going to be seeing a lot more bodies turning up.  It seems that the Ukrainians themselves, in Kiev, are turning against Maidan as they are driving them into austerity and – possibly more importantly – still haven’t investigated the protester shootings, further proving that they themselves were responsible (or at least complicit – either US Special Forces or the Mossad probably carried them out) for this false-flag operation.

New York Times:

The Ukrainian authorities said Thursday that former President Viktor F. Yanukovych and Russian security agents were involved in plans for elite police units to open fire on antigovernment protesters in February, killing more than 100 people in the days immediately before the downfall of his government.

The report offered no hard evidence to back the assertions, however, and both Mr. Yanukovych and Russia’s security agency denied any involvement in the shootings.

The police have already arrested several members of one elite riot police unit responsible for the killings, said Arsen Avakov, the country’s interim interior minister, but some others under investigation have fled to Crimea, which was annexed by Russia last month.

In other Ukraine news, Darth Vader has had his bid for office rejected.

Metro News:

A man hoping to run for the Ukrainian presidency as Darth Vader may not get to rule a new ‘galactic empire’ after all as authorities rejected his application.

The candidate, who dresses like the Star Wars villain, was nominated to become a candidate by Ukraine’s Internet Party.

But it no longer seems like he will be able to run after electoral chiefs ‘questioned’ his documents, which appeared to be ‘forged’.

Unsurprisingly the man was not originally named Darth Vader and apparently changed his title from Viktor Shevchenko.

And with that, the one figure who was capable of standing against Willy Wonka is lost, and the nation now officially doomed.

Darth Vader came to save the Ukrainian people from the Maidan terrorists and their Jew program.

But they would not listen.
