"We have paid attention to this audio record, and we are surprised to hear that the EU refuses to give its commentary on that score.
As you know, some time ago the high-ranking representatives of the EU member countries actively commented on the audio record of Victoria Nuland," a Foreign Ministry official said .

- Filtran una conversación de Ashton que insinúa que la oposición contrató a los francotiradores .....
1.Una conversación entre la jefa de la diplomacia europea y el ministro de Exteriores estonio 2. El político estonio Urmas Paet confirma a la cadena RT la autenticidad de la grabación
3. 'Detrás no estaba [Yanukovich] sino alguien de la nueva coalición', dijo Paet a Ashton
La televisión rusa RT citó hoy miércoles una llamada de teléfono interceptada entre el ministro de Exteriores estonio, Urmas Paet, y la jefa de la diplomacia europea, Catherine Ashton, en la que el primero sugiere que los francotiradores que actuaron en Kiev fueron contratados por la oposición.
Tras la revelación el ministro de Exteriores estonio confirmó la autenticidad de la grabación, según publica la cadena RT.
"Se hace cada vez más evidente que detrás de los francotiradores no estaba (el presidente Viktor) Yanukovich, sino alguien de la nueva coalición", dijo Paet a Ashton, según la llamada pinchada supuestamente por los servicios secretos de Ucrania.
El ministro explica que una doctora de Kiev le dijo que los mismos francotiradores disparaban a los manifestantes opositores y a los policías, durante los días de febrero en que se desató la mayor violencia en Kiev, unos disturbios que causaron cerca de cien muertos.
Paet también le dice a Ashton -según fragmentos de la conversación que pueden escucharse en Youtube, que "es preocupante que la nueva coalición no quiera investigar" ese asunto, en referencia a las nuevas autoridades que llegaron al poder en Ucrania tras la destitución de Yanukovich el 22 de febrero.
La conversación pinchada habría tenido lugar después de que Paet visitara Kiev el 25 de febrero. "Creo que sí queremos investigarlo. Quiero decir, no he dejado esto, esto es interesante, cielos", responde Ashton al ministro estonio, a lo que éste le señala que se trata de un "factor muy irritante"......................http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2014/03/05/531747ba268e3e39238b4588.html

UKRAINE / RUSSIA: Alleged Audiotape of EU High Representative Ashton Phone Call with Estonian Foreign Minister. -Jen Psaki, Spokesperson, Daily Press Briefing....
ReplyDeleteQUESTION: All right. And my last one on Ukraine is --
MS. PSAKI: Sure.
QUESTION: -- have you heard this latest audio tape of apparently bugged conversation between Catherine Ashton and the foreign minister?
MS. PSAKI: We have seen the reports of it, yes. And --
QUESTION: Have you listened to it?
MS. PSAKI: I have not had a chance to listen to it yet.
QUESTION: It’s very high quality. In stereo, too.
MS. PSAKI: Mm-hmm. As seems to be the theme.
QUESTION: Yeah. In that call, the foreign minister – and forgive me, what country is the foreign minister from?
QUESTION: Estonia.
QUESTION: Estonia. The Estonian foreign minister says something about suspicions that the snipers, the people who fired on protestors in the square, were not directed to do so by the then president, but rather by the protestors themselves. Do you have – do U.S. officials share this suspicion?
MS. PSAKI: Well, I know you’re asking about the content, which I don’t have anything for you on. But --
QUESTION: Right. Quite apart from it, it’s out there that a foreign minister of – a NATO member says that there are these suspicions. Do you share those suspicions?
MS. PSAKI: Well, not that I’m aware of, Matt. But broadly speaking in terms of this report, we don’t have any – we’ve seen the reports. We don’t have any confirmation of the validity of this call or confirmation that there wasn’t any doctoring of the call either. So it’s hard to speak to the content as it’s been reported.
QUESTION: Well, just about – how about – does the United States have any reason to believe that the people who were doing the shooting in Kyiv were not doing so under the orders of the president and, in fact, were doing so under orders of people affiliated, at least, with the opposition?
MS. PSAKI: I don’t – that’s not a discussion that I’m aware of internally here being had. But obviously, the context of where this information was reportedly coming from is important here too.
QUESTION: Okay. And then last thing: Do you have any comment in general on the release of such a phone call since – particularly since one of your own colleagues was victimized, if that’s the right word, in a very similar fashion on the same subject not so long ago?
MS. PSAKI: Mm-hmm. Well, Matt, obviously these reports just came out. But as I said around the last unfortunate case, this is just another example of the kind of Russian statecraft that we have strong concerns about. And we don’t, again, know the content. I can’t verify the content of the call, that the call hasn’t been doctored in any way. So we’ll see that report itself out and look for confirmation from individuals in the countries......................http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2014/03/222962.htm#UKRAINE
