Boris Reitschuster: “Die faschistische SAUJUDEN-JUNTA in Kiew will ein Blutbad“

Original: https://www.facebook.com/reitschuster/posts/870371732978016?fref=nf

“Die faschistische SAUJUDEN-JUNTA in Kiew will ein Blutbad“ – Heute erhielt ich diesen Brief von einer Bekannten aus Moskau, die zwar Internet hat, aber nur russisches TV sieht – und früher eher gemäßigt war:
In der Ukraine herrscht Willkür. Ich schreibe Dir, damit die Leute in Deutschland das erfahren! Alles! In Odessa wurden bei lebendigem Leib 38 Menschen verbrannt. Dafür, dass sie für die Föderalisierung sind! Danach wurden die Verwundeten verprügelt, die aus den Fenstern gesprungen sind, um sich vor dem Feuer zu retten. Der Süd-Westen wird unterdrückt, mit Hilfe der Armee, und mit Söldnern aus dem Ausland; die Städte dort sind umzingelt und man lässt weder Frauen noch Kinder raus. Das ist ein Völkermord am eigenen Volk! Und das sind einfache Leute, dort, die einfach diese SAUJUDEN-JUNTA in Kiew nicht anerkennen. DAS IST EIN VERBRECHEN – den Menschen zu verbieten, ein Refferendum (Rechtschreibung übersetzt wie im russischen Original) zu machen, dabei ist das so einfach! Das heißt, sie wollen ein Blutbad anrichten! Wir alle hoffen auf Merkel, dass sie Russland unterstützt. Warum glaubt sie den Amerikanern? Die alle abhören! Und die Deutschland offenbar hassen. Dabei achten wir Russen Deutschland jetzt, und das deutsche Volk. In der Ukraine blüht der Faschismus, und der Hass zu Russland. Ich verstehe, dass Politik eine schmutzige Sache ist. Aber doch nicht in so einem Maße! Man fühlt sie ja wie in der Steinzeit! Entschuldige bitte, dass ich Dich belaste mit all dem! Aber das sprengt doch alle Rahmen! So eine Grausamkeit! Mit Achtung und Grüßen….

Leider ist die Meinung aus dem Brief keine Ausnahme, sondern inzwischen Regel. Ein Großteil meiner Freundschaften ist zerbrochen. Die Propaganda ist diabolosch und kriminell. Sie wirkt so stark, dass selbst offensichtlichste Widersprüche nicht mehr wahrgenommen werden: Meine Bekannte schreibt gleichzeitig von einer “Saujuden-Junta” und von “Faschisten” in Kiew. In Russland gibt es dafür den Begriff: “Kognitive Dissonanz” (bei uns sicher auch, nur wird er offenbar kaum gebraucht).

Das Tragische: Dieses Spiel mit dem nationalistischen Feuer wurde vor vielen Jahren angezündelt, weil eine kleine Clique an der Macht ablenken wollte von ihren kriminellen Methoden, mit denen sie Milliarden machte. Das Feuer ist jetzt außer Kontrolle geraten – und wird weiter geschürt.

Ich bitte um aktives Teilen dieser Übersetzung, solche authentischen Quellen sagen mehr aus als viele Analysen!!!

9:30 pm EEST

A group of armed extremists has attacked, using small arms, the servicemen of the 95th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the vicinity of the village of Andriyivka near Sloviansk, the Defense Ministry announced tonight.

“A violent combat confrontation is underway. At the present moment, two Ukrainian servicemen are confirmed dead,” the Ministry noted.

Earlier, extremists attempted to prevent the execution of paratroopers’ assigned tasks by blocking the bridge.

At the same time, armed extremists employed their usual terrorist tactics–using local local residents, including women, to block [the pathway].

However, according to data reported to Ukrayinska Pravda by an informed source, the Ukrainian military were surrounded by armed separatists; they have taken a defensive perimeter and are “ready to stand until the very end.”

8:23 pm EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, the majority of the Main Intelligence Directorate’s subversive groups [GRU of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces] operating in eastern Ukraine have been ordered to exfiltrate to the territory of Russia.

Subversives received special instructions to avoid armed clashes while crossing the state border.

Pro-Russian terrorists in Donbas have been given a full opportunity to confront Ukrainian special forces themselves, without the active support of subversive and reconnaissance groups from the Russian Spetsnaz.

7:50 pm EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operative data, the anti-terrorist operation [ATO] is currently under way in Sloviansk.

A temporary halt in the activities of Ukrainian security forces was caused by negotiations with extremists regarding the release of OSCE representatives captured [in Sloviansk last Friday].

Special ops divisions engaged in the operation are fully prepared to continue operations.

5:15 pm EEST

The SBU has established the identity of ‘Abwehr,’ whom I mentioned this morning (he was supposed to take over command from ‘Strelok’). 

Image from http://espreso.tv/

According to information from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the subversive who went under the call-sign of Abwehr is a citizen of Russia (he also has a Ukrainian passport), Serhiy Anatoliyevych Zdryliuk.

Born June 23, 1972 in Vinnytsia Oblast. Resided in Crimea for a long time. There he went through special training in a Russian camp, and on April 12, 2014, he came with Strelok to Donetsk Oblast to take part in subversive operations.

As a member of a group in charge of intelligence and subversion, he attacked SBU agents on April 13. During this attack, one SBU agent was killed and three were wounded.

5:05 pm EEST

On the possibility of Aksyonov‘s gang’s arrival to Donbas from Crimea.

According to Information Resistance group, both of the isthmi connecting Crimea with mainland Ukraine are currently under full control by State Border Service of Ukraine units and the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the administrative border of the ARC [Autonomous Republic of Crimea].

Units of [Ukrainian] security forces in the area are in full combat readiness.

Ukrainian border control servicemen have taken measures to prevent the entry of armed individuals from Crimea to the mainland. According to our sources at the State Border Service, the infiltration of militant units from Crimea is out of the question.

Earlier, Putin’s puppet in Crimea by the name of [Sergey] Aksyonov had announced the possible arrival of militants from Crimea to provide “assistance” to pro-Russian separatists in Sloviansk. Also, a video message by the so-called “Crimean militia” was distributed, in which certain individuals in camouflage announced that “today, two batallions of Crimean militia were advancing to southeastern Ukraine.”

1:33 pm EEST

Shortly after our explanation of reasons behind the Russian delegation’s “disappearance” in Donetsk oblast [region], Mr. Lukin “resurfaced.”

Earlier, after our report about a human shield being organized for terrorists by Sloviansk self-proclaimed mayor [Vyacheslav] Ponomarev, the “mayor” urgently delivered a video message, in which he called upon the Sloviansk residents to stay home.

We cannot help but express our satisfaction with such prompt reaction by Russia. We recommend that they keep up the good work.

12:30 pm EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance, a charter flight with a Russian delegation headed by Vladimir Lukin, that left for Ukraine without issuing a notice to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, landed around 10:00 am EEST in Donetsk airport.

Currently, as stated by the Russian President’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, “the Russian side can’t yet establish communication with Lukin.”

According to our data, the “disappearance” that the Russian delegation is talking about is actually a provocation the Kremlin planned in advance.

11:30 pm EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance group, terrorists attempted to capture the “Moscow-Mariupol” passenger train.

In particular, an attempt was made to seize a train during its stop in Sloviansk (with train arrival in Sloviansk at 8:06 pm EEST).

Anti-terrorist units have thwarted the terrorists’  scenario.

There are no casualties or wounded people.

11:30 pm EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, the self-proclaimed mayor of Sloviansk, Vyacheslav Ponomarev,  personally organizes the use of civilians in the streets of Sloviansk to “protect” the town from Ukrainian security forces.

The goal is to provide terrorists with a human shield that primarily consists of women and children.

Interestingly enough, our data shows that a few days ago Ponomarev himself arranged for his family to leave the Donbas area. Ukrainian law enforcement have information about their whereabouts.

 11:00 am EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance, during the transfer of authority from Russian subversive commander “Arrow” in Sloviansk to Russian subversive “Abwehr” located in Horlivka [Donetsk oblast], problems arose.

“Abwehr” refused to accept the command. This subversive is currently trying to leave the city of Horlivka.

Ukrainian troops are taking appropriate measures to arrest him.

10:50 am EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance group, currently 2 Ukrainian special forces Mi-24 helicopters were shot down from MANPADS.

One Mi-8 helicopter was shot at with small arms, but managed to land.

Also, terrorists are actively using the civilian population as a shield in Sloviansk.

10:45 am EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, as we reported yesterday, a senior representative of Putin’s arrives in Ukraine–Vladimir Lukin, the former Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation until March 2014.

A number of Moscow representatives arrive to Donetsk on a charter flight with him.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry hasn’t been notified about the arrival of the  delegation.

According to our data, the task of the delegation is to make loud accusatory statements over “gross violations of human rights” by the Ukrainian authorities and security forces in eastern Ukraine.

Vladimir Lukin was Putin’s representative who arrived in Kyiv on February 20, 2014 to participate in talks between Yanukovych and Maidan as a mediator from the Russian Federation. He became the sole representative of the parties who refused to sign an agreement between Yanukovych and the opposition (the “non-compliance” of which Moscow presently blames the current Ukrainian authorities).

Source: Dmitry Tymchuk FB

10:30 am EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance group, terrorists in Sloviansk are prepared to still implement a provocation with possible loss of life, the planning of which we reported on yesterday.

Its purpose is to simulate “atrocities” by Ukrainian security forces. (We do not yet have information regarding the “association” of the representatives of this alleged provocation who are acting “on behalf of” the “Right Sector” as planned yesterday).

Russian journalists are urgently gathered by terrorist leaders into an area, while they are still controlled by pro-Russian separatists.

Ukrainian troops still cannot guarantee that they will thwart the provocation.

Source: Dmitry Tymchuk FB 

10:10 am EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, the Russian subversives commander “Strelok” intends to break through from Sloviansk with a group of subordinates.

Local separatists were notified that they should not particularly count on Russian intervention.

The terrorist headquarters in Sloviansk is currently being disbanded–an analogous structure was organized in Horlivka. The command was transferred to a subversive with the call sign “Abwehr.”

Source: Dmitry Tymchuk FB

10:00 am EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, special forces in Sloviansk closed the “ring” around the main forces of terrorists.

There are reports that Russian subversives operating in the city as the “core” of the terrorist forces, intend to the fight off the encirclement on the border with Russia. Local separatists in this case will solve their own problems.

Ukrainian troops are taking measures to prevent the breakout.

Source: Dmitry Tymchuk FB 

8:00 am EEST

According to operational data from Information Resistance, in areas of Sloviansk that remain under terrorist control, the latter conduct emergency “expropriations” of the personal transport vehicles of Sloviansk residents.

There are suspicions that terrorists will attempt to use these to escape from the besieged city.

Also, panic was observed among petty criminals from Sloviansk, who were brought by separatists into terrorist activity. Criminals, “working” for the money, do not agree to take risks and confront [Ukrainian] security forces for the “great ideas” of Moscow.

Source: Dmitry Tymchuk FB

7:00 am EEST

According to Information Resistance group’s operational data, Ukrainian security forces took control of most of Sloviansk during the following active anti-terrorist operation.

Currently, terrorist roadblocks are dismantled, and the city television center is taken under control.

Terrorists are trying to disperse. The main centers of [extremist] resistance have been recorded in the southeastern part of the city.

During the operation, an Mi-24 helicopter used by Ukrainian special forces, was shot down by terrorists with two shots from MANPADS (the second helicopter that worked in pairs, left).

Voices of Ukraine Interviewed by Editor Daniella Peled from London’s Institute for War and Peace Reporting

First Person

Voices of Ukraine Speak Out in Many Languages

English-language editor of Voices of Ukraine explains how this volunteer-run translation project is proving a vital resource.
By Isis Wisdom –
1 May 14

The genesis of Voices of Ukraine  is as a diaspora project, although one of the founders is from Kiev and we’ve made sure there are always experts on the ground in Ukraine whom we can call on as needed.

It started in early December 2013 as a social network project when Euromaidan SOS put out a call to translate a text for the OSCE, and the Euro-Maidan As It Is  Facebook page was created by one founder to post such texts to, and very soon after a MaidanNeedsTranslators  Facebook page was started by the other founder in Ukraine as a companion, so translators could take on articles posted there for translation.

At the beginning, there were two or three people working on the project. Now there is a core group of 15 coordinators and editors, with between eight and 11 doing most of the daily work. Beyond this core are many translators who are not coordinators but who put in a lot of time translating on a regular basis.

It’s formed from people who gravitated to the Facebook page because of the vision expressed in it. Some people come and go, others stay, still others come back again and again. We welcome everyone whose heart is in it and are deeply grateful to all the amazing translators and the dedicated readers who comment and the many interesting relationships from all around this globe that have developed.

The person who started that first page has stepped away temporarily while completing grad studies for the year. I have been the English editor from very early on, and built the English section and team up to what it is currently.

The languages are mainly English and German, but also Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, French, Lithuanian and others, with translators in countries including Germany, Ukraine, Italy, the United States, Canada, the UK, Japan, France, Poland, Romania and others. We also have Russians helping us.

English is the most important language because that is our biggest readership. German has its own particular challenges.

It’s not easy for our German team because the climate they translate and publish in is harsher. Polls say more than half of Germans think Russia is quite right to invade Ukraine to protect a Russian-speaking population – and we have translated and posted many articles documenting Russian language natives (from eastern Ukraine and Crimea) who have never needed or desired Russian “protection” and say so themselves.

Some Western outlets want to do balanced reporting, but there are pro-Russian trolls everywhere, and the comments are atrocious. There are also anti-Western trolls who try to radicalise the discussion and other trolls who push their own agenda, be it political or not. We try to ensure that our resource provides an insight into what it is like to be a Ukrainian, and to familiarise the rest of the world with the generosity of the Ukrainian spirit.

There have been waves of generalised blanket statements that are repeated over and over in Western mediam and one of the things still missing is some better-quality, deeper analysis. There are many Ukrainian analysts both in Ukraine and the diaspora, but they are only being picked up sporadically.

Our mission statement on the website explains that basically, we were formed like so many other groups because there is a need for accurate information about events in Ukraine to go global in different languages. You need to get the truth about Ukraine out to the West and the wider world. And everyone who comes to us to read or work either cares deeply about what is happening in Ukraine or needs to hear more than what they’re hearing.

Beyond our mission statement, the feedback we get is that we are the most open, credible and truthful source of information people have come across– and that’s why people keep coming back to us. This is what they write in to let us know.

If you want to uphold democracy, then it is something you have to insist upon and fight for. For example, Western oil companies (from the US, Norway, France, etc) have redoubled their support for Russia and they are still drilling, including in Crimea, where deals are now going to Russia. It’s still business as usual until their governments make it legally more difficult for them to continue doing so. So there are sanctions but they are still not strong enough. What these companies are doing amounts to undermining their own governments’ efforts in uniting against Russian aggression.

Although we have an incredible number of interesting and key people, including journalists and politicians, who follow and retweet us regularly, we are not trying to influence politics or opinions, but rather to inform and transform. Our target is to reach anyone who cares about Ukraine or is interested in knowing more, person by person, heart by heart.

We have even had people from New Jersey responding directly to people in Kharkiv and able to ask them questions directly, as a result of translating a status update from eastern Ukraine. Facilitating such connections is important because people know it’s real, that it’s an authentic exchange.

Before we print anything we double-check it and ask key people if the information is true. We also network with the Euro-Asian Jewish Council, a member of whom is in our coordinating group, we coordinate with EuromaidanPR and cooperate by re-blogging each others’ information. We are in constant daily contact with the director of the Centre for Military and Political Research and the Information Resistance group leader, who is in our coordinating group; we have a coordinator in Feodosiya, and we work with other political and cultural groups in an ongoing way.

Voices of Ukraine is not just political information; it is about the cultural space of Ukraine as well. And we create a platform for partner projects as well.

We are conscious this will be an archival project used by researchers in the future, and indeed, it has already begun to be used this way now for books and articles on this time period.

In less than five months we have had well over 2,400 posts, over 4,000 tweets and a following on social media of well over 7,000 signed-in, dedicated readers. Daily, we receive a minimum of 3,000 blog views (really the average is over 8,000, but we had an inordinately high number in March during the fighting, which skews it upward). Our highest number of views per single article has been 348,012 – that article trended to the top of Reddit’s World News and Front Page, beating all the commercial global news services for a day, as well as all the kitty-cat videos for some hours.

The total number of views is 966,000 so far and there are only seven places in the world from which we haven’t been accessed – five African countries, Turkmenistan and some islands in the Arctic.

We fund the website ourselves; the costs are not that high. We don’t want funding. People have offered, but we don’t want anything to do with money because it has a tendency to corrupt the work we do, and that work is not for commercial purposes or for the purposes of individual fame or career-building.

We all have our individual careers. We did not originally know each other, we are simply united by the vision for our project and its service in the world. We have grown closer to the people in our initiative and most of us hope that one day, we will be able to get together in a free and democratic Ukraine.

On average, I work on the project about four hours a day, often far more, sometimes from 5pm until 3am. When fighting breaks out, it’s round the clock – as much time as can be devoted to it. I seem to be editing and coordinating more than translating now.

I am a university professor and an events manager, amongst other things. I am Ukrainian, and although I was not born there, Ukrainian is my first language. My parents were Displaced Persons (in DP camps in Germany) and after World War 2 they emigrated to North America via Ellis Island.

I grew up in Canada with the KGB literally following me around as a child because of the diaspora projects my mother worked on. I never set out to be a big activist within the Ukrainian community, although I’ve done some projects in the past. This is more like a calling when the need arose.

When most people in the diaspora saw what was happening on Maidan [Kiev central square] they thought – they knew – this is the Ukraine we have been waiting for. And all diaspora efforts are grassroots efforts to help out in every way possible to make that free and independent Ukraine with a strong, functioning civil society a reality.

Yes, we pray to God that Russia has a Maidan too, for the sake of the Russian people. And Putin knows that, too, and will prevent such a revolution against corruption taking place in Moscow at all costs. His henchmen have been mimicking Maidan in the most cynical way in all the “separatist insurgencies”, precisely to attempt to completely discredit the good that came of that awakening. Putin is so afraid of it spreading.

We had thought it was going to happen in 2004 after the Orange Revolution, but that involved the wrong people and it was still too corrupt and without critical mass. Now younger people have grown up who are better equipped, who have had a freer and more accurate historical education, who live on social networks, and who are without memories of the Soviet era.

So for Ukraine, Maidan is now or never.

——————–

Voices of Ukraine aims to make accurate information about Ukraine available around the world in a variety of languages. It has nearly one million views and more than 7,000 signed-in followers on social media.

This information is the result of an interview exchange between Daniella Peled, and Isis Wisdom.

YULIA TYMOSHENKO: The invasion will be stopped, force will be resisted.

Posted on May 3, 2014 by chervonaruta

Yulia Tymoshenko’s a statement in connection with the events in Odesa:

Image

Yulia Tymoshenko. Backdrop: “I will protect Ukraine.”


Today the wave of violence again reached its crest on the streets of Ukraine and our beloved Odesa is under threat. Peaceful demonstrators were attacked by people wanting to turn Ukraine into a war zone and batter and dismember our country.

We will not let that happen! I will not let that happen! This is my promise to the mothers and wives of Odesa, Donetsk, Luhansk and the whole country.

The brave sons of Ukraine who lost their lives defending Ukraine today are in our hearts and souls. They have become the standard bearers of my struggle to defend Ukraine from now and into the future. They will be in my thoughts as I carry on the struggle for the unity, peace and independence of our beloved country.

The invasion will be stopped. Violence will be defeated. We will not allow Ukraine to be turned into either Hungary in 1956 or Yugoslavia in the 1990s. No one will be able to stop us building a united, European and democratic government. It’s not important what language we speak, which church we go to or what political party we support: we are all Ukrainians, all patriots and we must join together in this most decisive moment in the history of our country, the lives of our families and our personal destinies. Glory to Ukraine!

Julia Timoshenko cut short her visit to Lviv and is headed to Odesa.

Today, my home town of Odessa joined the club of violence – russian “green men” – thugs armed with kalashnikovs, wearing masks and helmets, seized a trade center in the heart of city. Hundreds of police are doing nothing, big fat zero! 

My father, a Chief Guard at Unicredit bank, had to visit a branch on the 1st floor of the trade center, because there had been an alarm signaling of a broken window. When we got there at 19.30, we saw lots of bricks from the pavement, a minivan still burning, dozens of broken cars. In my right hand is a brick from Greek Street. In my left hand is a brick from the City Garden in Deribasovskaya, Odessa’s main street. 

My cell phone died and I had left it home to recharge. Thank you all those who called to check up on my family and me.
Putin, HANDS OFF OF ODESSA! 

While the events were unfolding at Afina trade center, the pro-putin tents at Kulikovo square became another center of street fights, when football ultras came over to dismantle those. The separatists retreated to the House of Trade Unions just behind one of the last monuments to Lenin in country. They directed gun fire at the soccer fans. Those responded with Molotov cocktails.

The building was set on fire, and before 10 firefighting trucks came over, about 24 separatists died from smoke suffocation. 

Out of the 24, 15 were Russians, and 9 had come from the unacknowledged pro-Russian part of Moldova, Transnistria. NOT A SINGLE ODESSAN WAS IN THERE FIGHTING FOR SEPARATION OF ODESSA !

Alas, Putin now has a cause to get his “peacekeepers” in – significant bloodshed in our always peaceful city of international commerce. 

Hands off from my hometown! Hands off from Ukraine!
