10173325_481968728598454_1124228004_nAccording to operational data from the Information Resistance group, the city of Sloviansk, which is currently controlled by extremists, has finally plunged into an abyss of chaos and anarchy.

At checkpoints, extremists take personal vehicles from locals “for the needs of the Donetsk Republic,” the population is running out of cash, armed “criminal confrontations” have occurred.

Along with “little green men” (Russian soldiers) who previously conducted the seizure of [administrative] buildings, appeared an armed group of men wearing the same black uniforms in the city. At this point we have not identified the affiliation of individuals belonging to these units. But we would like to note that they are not coordinated by the GRU [Main Intelligence Directorate] of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation located in Sloviansk.

The public dissatisfaction of Slovyansk residents with the activities of the “little green men” (their headquarters is located at the local SBU [Security Service of Ukraine] subdivision), extremist groups and individual criminal elements is gradually reaching a critical point.

On the eve of the Orthodox Easter holiday, the activity of a local clergyman Father V. (temple near Solyanykh-Slavkurort in Sloviansk), who plays a key role in providing for Russian troops in the city, looks especially cynical. As a leader of one of the local pro-Russian agencies, Father V. resolves the issues of accommodation and food for “little green men,” as well as conducts “work” with the local population in his role as the local “propagandist” for extremists.

As we have managed to establish, Father V. has conducted “informational and psychological work” with parishioners since at least 2004. In his sermons, he notes that the state of Ukraine never existed and will never exist, and that the people of Ukraine are not of Slavic origin. He has a very strong influence on parishioners and is well respected by the locals. He has a number of subordinate parishes in the region – one of them in Krasnyi Lyman.

According to operation data from the Information Resistance group, a helicopter flying over [the city of] Sloviansk has been fired at by extremists who occupied the city.

The helicopter dispersed leaflets with the text of the Geneva agreement from April 17, 2014.

The helicopter was civilian (Ukrainian), painted white. It’s quite problematic to confuse it with a military helicopter.

The extremists fired from an automatic small (7.62 mm) caliber firearm.

    The state of Ukraine will cease to exist once it joins the EU. The EU wants to remove all European states from the map and create an EU superstate similar to the Soviet Union where you have nothing to say. In the world of the EU, Ukrainians do not exist as a people, there is just one “European” “nation” defined and ruled by the EU. People who love Ukraine – like me – cannot want Ukraine to join the EU. Stay out and remain independend.
