He is a hard working man trying to handle 3 jobs at once. Ukraine needs more people like him. | ||

That's more sad news to me. Few years back Moscow had tens of thousands of protestors :/ Feb 2012: 160,000 participants according to organizers or 38,000 according to Police - protesting for fair elections. | ||

But either way, with the current climate in Russia I would still say im glad to see there are thousands off people out protesting against the propaganda and oppression of free media. | ||

First part is a conversation between the two nicknamed "Nose" and "Adler". One of them gives instructions to the other regarding amunition. Second part between "Strelok" and "Agat". One of them reports to the other that they covered some roads but there are others they can't cover since he doesn't have enough men (10 men and only 7 are armed). The other says he will send reinforcements. Another men takes the phone and warns that there will be their group entering the town and that they SHOULD NOT fire on sight. [This is in line with information spread by the government that separatists were firing on sight and no negotiations were possible]. Third part: "Strelok" and someone from Russia (the fact is confirmed in the conversation) calling from the number on the screen, called Alexander. Strelok reports about the yesterdays events when a few cars of SBU high ranked officers came under heavy fire. Strelok says they set up a trap and covered 3 cars basically killing or heavily injuring everyone inside [again in line with previous reports that separatists were firing without warning. But the official report implies far less casualties]. It's not in the conversation but looks like they retreated after the attack since they didn't really know what casualties exactly they caused and who was inside, only knowing it was somebody high-ranked since the cars were VIP. Alexander congratulated Strelok and informed that they were sent reinforcements from Lugansk who have combat experience. Strelok asked for anti-tank equipment. Fourth part: same people. Alexander says that Strelok would be contacted by Life News from Moscow and asks Strelok to get some of his deputies who has Ukrainian accent. He insists that the deputy should be doing the talking and explains the separatists demands: federalisation, immediate governor's elections before the 25th with the intention that Verhovna Rada could not ratify foreign loans without 2/3s of region's votes, and also adds that the last point is VERY important. Fifth part: Strelok reports to somebody named Konstantin Valeriovich but at the same telephone number from Russia. The information is mostly the same. The other man asks if they reported to Aksyonov [official leader of Crimean separatists] and says that he would be meating him [Aksyonov] shortly. | ||

I'm glad we have somebody who actually is from Ukraine posting on this thread. What city are you from by the way? As to the transcript, it seems like a pretty accurate portrayal of what it looks like behind the scenes. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure this sorta stuff is impossible to confirm. I hope Ukraine has some better evidence to present about Russia's involvement. | ||

There is quite a bit of support for Putin across the German population. The comment sections of many major newspapers are full of vivid Russia supporters. When it comes to sources on the other hand most of the time conspiracy blogs or pages like rt.com are quoted. Imo this is a list of 200 nobodies, e.g."Alexander Bese, Krankenpfleger (nurse)". Of course some carry an university title and others are part of some kind of association. But all in all (just quickly read over it) it does not seem there is anybody of any importance on this list. | ||

Edit: Not trying to call out Germans here, it was just that they have been mentioned several times in this thread as having much higher support for Putin and Russia's actions than the rest of (western) Europe. | ||

Also even more so is the idea that these same people can agree with a country who is on a legislative level declaring themselves superior to all of the other countries and races of the world. It just comes across as a little too 1930s for me. Edit: Not trying to call out Germans here, it was just that they have been mentioned several times in this thread as having much higher support for Putin and Russia's actions than the rest of (western) Europe. I understand what you mean. This trend scares me quite a bit as well, especially the tone of the comments: All of the western media brought into line, all the articles being written in credible German newspapers being western propaganda, etc. Usually I wouldn't care too much, but there are just soo many of them. I have the feeling as well that these people are being paid to do their job. | ||

It really is a shame.I think in most cases people are more anti-establishment/'anti 'transatlantic' than they're pro Putin. Also socially conservative people with little education are probably intimidated by all the rapid social changes that are happening in the West. Also when it comes to more famous people like Schröder and Schmidt, well, Schröder started to work for Gazprom one year after he was out of office, and Schmidt is so old that he probably doesn't even know what human rights are. | ||

The CSDP mission threat is a big deal, but they did not agree on additional sanctions against Russia. This sends a message that Russia's current activities are acceptable to the EU (not in terms of rhetoric, but in terms of the EU not considering it sufficient to act on). You can see from the wording of point 6 that it was probably a major point of contention as it has the feel of being edited many times over. *** Even the boots of these `separatists' belong to the Russian army: http://ipress.ua/ru/news/rossyyskyh_voennih_v_donbasse_vidala_obuv_59736.html | ||

Just by nudging over the list, watching names and positions.. I had that discussion earlier here and was called out for it, but just by googling some of those people, alot, if not most of them are from east germany. I mean, a name like: Wilfried Rühe, Rentner, Hauptmann aD der NVA, Vorsitzender der Gemeinschaft der 13er EV doesn't even need to be double checked (translation is Wilfried Ruehe, pensioner, retired captain of the NVA, chairman of the community of 13er EV). NVA being the Nationale Volksarmee (national peoples army, the military in east germany under russian occupation). 13er EV is some sort of community of old NVA people. Most of these guys would also say that communism is the greatest thing ever invented, i bet. I'm not saying that putin has no "fans" in west germany, but they're by far more sceptical at least. That being said, one of the reasons could be that alot of germans lost faith in the US, which, to be honest, is not entirely unreasonable. Because so far, that has also to be said, the US "wronged" germans far more than russia did. And in the end, most people remember what "was done" to them far more vividly than what happens thousands of kms away. | ||
