Ucrania: Opositores radicales izan banderas de terroristas sirios y chechenos en Kiev...
ReplyDeleteBanderas de separatistas chechenos y sirios fueron izadas el pasado sábado por radicales ucranianos en la plaza de la Independencia, epicentro de la rebelión antigubernamental en Kiev, junto a la de Ucrania.
Ucrania, Europa, 'pacíficas protestas' contra el Gobierno… ahora están acompañadas por banderas de 'color islámico' de la Coalición Nacional de Siria en la plaza Maidán, que se ha convertido en el epicentro de los extremistas que supuestamente pugnan por hacer que su país forme parte de la Unión Europea.
La bandera fue vista al lado de la bandera de azul y amarillo ucraniana y también fue izada por sujetos que se encuentran apostados en la plaza Maidán, según revela un video de Ruptly TV.
Precisamente bajo esa bandera los extremistas del denominado Ejército Libre de Siria (ELS) y varios grupos terroristas islamistas han estado aterrorizando y masacrando –incluso degollando- al pueblo de Siria durante los últimos tres últimos años.
La bandera de la llamada 'Ichkeria' de los separatistas chechenos, manchados hasta los codos con la sangre de sus propios compatriotas, incluso la sangre de niños –como los asesinados en la escuela de la localidad osetia de Beslán- y autores de numerosos actos terroristas en Rusia, también fue izada en la plaza donde están reunidos los "pacíficos manifestantes" de la cristiana Ucrania........http://actualidad.rt.com/actualidad/view/120449-ucrania-extremistas-banderas-terroristas-sirios?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=actualidad

Ukraine: les forces Berkout dissoutes par décret ministériel....
ReplyDeleteLe ministre ukrainien de l'Intérieur par intérim Arsen Avakov a signé un décret supprimant les forces antiémeutes Berkout, lit-on mercredi sur la page Facebook du responsable.
"J'ai signé le décret numéro 144 portant sur la dissolution des forces spéciales de la sécurité civile Berkout", a fait savoir le ministre par intérim.
Les unités Berkout constituaient la principale force chargée de contrer la contestation populaire de ces derniers mois, qui a fini par renverser le pouvoir du président Viktor Ianoukovitch. La dispersion par les Berkouts de la manifestation en faveur du rapprochement avec l'Union européenne menée en novembre 2013 n'a fait que radicaliser la protestation, ce qui a entraîné de nombreuses victimes parmi les manifestants aussi bien que parmi les membres des forces de l'ordre.

DeleteSpeaker of Ukraine’s parliament Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov, who has been appointed interim president of Ukraine, has assumed the duties as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A decree to this effect has been signed. “Under Article 106 and Article 112 of the Constitution of Ukraine I enter into duties of commander-in-chief of Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the decree says.
Earlier, the Rada vested Turchynov with powers to sign country’s laws. The decision to this effect was supported by 316 lawmakers.
Formation of new government
Leaders of Ukrainian parliamentary factions Batkivshchyna (Fatherland), Svoboda (Freedom) and Udar (Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform) are holding consultations with activists of protest movement over composition of a new government, Batkivshchyna faction leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk told reporters on Tuesday.
The faction leader noted that people included in a government “will quit big politics for a long time.” “We realize that it will be difficult to combine professionalism of government and representation of Maidan (protest movement),” the politician said, adding that “the only possible principle of transparency and trust to each other should be chosen.”
“A future government will face outstanding challenges, and I should say frankly that, on the one hand, members of a new government will save the country, but, on the other hand, they should realize that they commit a political suicide,” Yatsenyuk added.
