Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources]

Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:21 am
TUESDAY

Please scroll down to view news items added during the course of the day

News -
19 attacks by Putin's forces yesterday. No word yet on casualties.
Update - I understand 0 deaths, 0 casualties

1 attack by Tiagnibok's forces - Sich -Svoboda yesterday.
Update - 2 soldiers killed by Svoboda. 141 still in hospital.
In the Rada Groisman said 3 now dead. Which will leave 140 injured now.


Update - on one source attacker at the Rada named as Igor Humenyuk - see clear photo about 10 posts' down.
The bbc were reporting 5 dead yesterday. But this morning they are saying one dead, with about 100 injured.
0800 tv news. I watched a couple of channels. They did not lead with the grenade incident. Strange. Almost trying to play it down.

Update at 1200. Sadly reading of a second death of an Ukrainian soldier as a result of the Svoboda attack yesterday.
Update - heard on tv of a third guardsman dead following yesterday's attack.

Coalition - reading that Liashko's gang have left the coalition - Radical party.
Liashko was seen as a strong patriot in the run-up to the last elections, but lost a lot of support in the last week of campaigning.
Now - seen by all I know - everybody I know in Ukraine - as a complete joke. I write that honestly.

Weather -
20C at 0600 this morning. High predicted of 36 where I am. Getting close to 100F today.
Blue sky, sunshine. 33 at 1400. 1530 - nearer 40 than 30 on my thermometer.

School -
Out of my window I can see children walking to school. Almost forgotten in the light of yesterday's events in Kiev.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty On the detainee, who threw a grenade at the Rada found another munition - Video search (Zik.ua)

During a search of the detainee a 21 year old volunteer soldier battalion  "Sich", which on August 31 near the parliament threw a grenade at police officers in a backpack found another grenade





Sich - a special batallion formed by Svoboda.
In the video still the bag looks shiny. But if you play the video, it looks very similar to the one in the other video.
Also - the ring from a grenade.... It looks like they got the right guy. He's even still wearing very similar dark clothes.
A lot of circumstantial evidence. Overwhelming, I would say.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukrainian Police Hurt in Violent Protest During Controversial Vote [Engl]

Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:35 am
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/ukrainian-police-hurt-in-violent-protest-during-controversial-vote/529163.html
====
Article also includes comments from the Rada debate -
"We have to support the international 'anti-Putin' coalition," said Yury Lutsenko of the Poroshenko bloc, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But opponents of the bill said it played into Russia's hands and would lead ultimately to Ukraine losing control over the Donbass — the name given to the industrialized east, swathes of which are controlled by separatists now.
"We believe that these anti-Ukrainian changes to the Constitution … are a road to realization of Putin's plan for destroying Ukraine," said Radical party leader Oleh Lyashko.
"This is not the road to peace but to decentralization. This is a diametrically opposed process which forces us to lose territory," said Tymoshenko.


Against - Liashko, Tymoshenko, Samopomich - and also Svoboda, Pravi Sector.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine crisis: Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says nationalist protesters are worse than separatists after violence that left one dead

Tue Sep 01, 2015 2:31 am
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-crisis-prime-minister-says-nationalist-protesters-are-worse-than-the-separatists-following-violence-that-left-one-dead-10480308.html
Many have questioned the timing of Svoboda’s intervention, noting that it plays into the hands of a Russian narrative that Ukrainian politics are excessively influenced by the far right.
Mr Yatsenyuk said the day’s events signalled the opening of a “second front” against Ukraine and called upon all political parties to denounce the protests.

==========

Reports from Moscow correspondents in the Guardian and Telegraph.
The Independent is the only paper with an article from somebody actually in Kiev. And it seems by far the best written to me.

I haven't seen this guy's name mentioned in the main-stream press yet - or a clear photo in the press.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Interior Ministry to question Tiagnibok in the case of the riot at Parliament (Zaxid.net)

Tue Sep 01, 2015 4:33 am
http://zaxid.net/news/showNews.do?mvs_dopitaye_tyagniboka_u_spravi_pro_zavorushennya_bilya_parlamentu&objectId=1363882
=====
As I understand it, Tiagnybok is still saying that it was all a provocation by the "authorities".
But he organised the demonstration, his people gave out the flags, his people brought the sticks and smoke bombs, and gas cans, and grenades...
So they were ready for a riot and bloodshed.
Dmitri Yarosh was wise to condemn the bloodshed and death of a soldier.
Tiagnibok is claiming the extreme right wing as his own by blaming everybody else - except himself.
And - in my opinion - sounding the death-knell for his party. I don't see them coming back from this.
Ukrainians were visibly shocked by this yesterday - I saw them phoning each other, discussing it.
Of course, all the talk initially was about a Putin provocation. But it was not Putin. It was Svoboda. Putin's 5th column. 140 Ukrainian servicemen injured.

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/plaques-commemorating-gulag-victims-popping-up-around-moscow/529143.html
At least seven plaques commemorating Russian citizens sent to gulag forced labor camps under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin have been placed on the Moscow buildings where they last resided before being apprehended by Soviet secret police, the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported Sunday.
=====
Good article, not - I hasten to add -  from Putin butt-kisser Shaun Walker, or his Stalin-apologist boss, Seamus Milne, at the Guardian.
Milne famous for writing an article trying to make out that Stalin didn't kill the millions everybody knows he did.
Later his article mysteriously disappeared from The Guardian website. Say no more.
Walker, anyway, is too busy posting photos of Putin's latest gym workout. He idiolizes the guy. 15 years in Moscow...

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Responsibility for the attack near the parliament lies with the authorities - "Svoboda"

Tue Sep 01, 2015 5:37 am
http://svoboda.org.ua/news/events/00015039/
===
Article I found on the Svoboda website.
===
All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda" declares the entire responsibility for the attack outside the parliament, ..... lies with the current government. It is pro-Russian government in conjunction with the "opposition" ... capitulation to the Kremlin.

It was the police who first used force against the protesters, prompting numerous clashes. However, the police failed to take appropriate measures to neutralize the provocateurs. Obviously, the use of an explosive device that was thrown by an unknown at law enforcement officers was a pre-planned provocation aimed against Ukrainian patriots.

We demand the resignation of the Interior Minister ... Arsen Avakov, whose criminal inaction led to the tragedy. We call on the representatives of the parliamentary coalition with the requirement not to vote in the second reading on the proposed project constitutional changes.

====

So - the government is "pro-Russian". Svoboda accept absolutely no responsibility.
Still saying the attack was a pre-planned provocation.  - despite all the videos and evidence to the contrary.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Another Maidan?

Tue Sep 01, 2015 6:04 am
I just got off the telephone, talking to a member of the armed forces.
He said that many are now worried about Svoboda - who are well armed - provoking another 'Maidan".

My analysis -
Svoboda got under 5% in the last elections.
Following this attack killing Ukrainian national guardsmen doing their job - injuring over 100 - many of who are ATO veterans -
Svoboda are finished as a party. That is my opinion.
Yarosh of the Pravi Sector condemned the attack. Tiagnibok, on the other hand, blamed Avakov.
Now - you cannot blame Avakov for a member of Svoboda throwing a hand-grenade at unarmed Ukrainian guardsmen, and killing some, and injuring many.
Normal patriotic Ukrainians are beginning to see Svoboda as the enemy, as much as they see Putin as the enemy.
And yes - some are worried about a "third Maidan". But - frankly - I do not see this having the support of the country - unlike the first two Maidans.

As for the bill going through parliament, anything could happen.
The most important thing is that Ukrainians do not start killing each other. They are all needed to fight Putin.

The faction of the Radical Party leaves the coalition and in opposition to the current government. On Tuesday, September 1, the reporters on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada said the head of the Radical Party, Oleg Lyashko, the correspondent of the MFN.
"On behalf of the faction I inform about our decision to withdraw from the coalition," - said Mr. Lyashko.

And end to political games? And end to popularism?

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty "Petro Poroshenko Bloc": the current coalition will continue to work (RL)

Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:19 am
http://www.radiosvoboda.org/content/news/27220606.html
The current coalition will continue to work in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, first deputy chairman of the faction "Bloc Poroshenko" Igor Kononenko.
Kononenko said that the coalition consisted of 302 MPs and factions after the Radical Party were 282.

===============

If Poroshenko called a general election, I wonder what the results would be? I'll love to see a current poll.

Currently - BPP 144 Nar Front 82 Samo 30 Radical 21 Tymo 18 Opp 42 Vidrod 22 Volya 19 Not affiliated 43 Vacant 29 (ukr wiki)
How does Poro get 300 for constitutional changes?!
BPP + NF = 226. He needs 75 votes from somewhere. If Opposition vote in favor, then he needs 33. I don't see Samo or Batkiv helping him out.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Death Toll Rises To Three From Grenade Attack Near Ukrainian Parliament [Engl]

Authorities say the grenade was thrown by a member of the nationalist Svoboda political alliance, identified as 27-year-old Ihor Gumenyuk, as the government forces clashed with demonstrators.
Svoboda and the nationalist Radical Party organized the protest to voice opposition to legislation that could clear the way for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine to be granted more autonomy.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Kremlin eager to disrupt decentralization of power in Ukraine, expert says

Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:16 pm
The changes in the Constitution passed in the first reading Aug. 31 amid battles in Rada and bloody violence outside include no mention of giving Donbas a special status. The Constitution has merely a reference to the temporary law on special procedure for ruling the rebel-held territories, political expert Viktor Ukolov told Radio Svoboda Sept. 1.

The law can be cancelled by a mere majority, if need be, he said.

In fact, Rada voted not for the controversial changes in the Constitution but for the continuations of EU sanctions against Russia since, under the Minsk agreements, the changes are hinged to the sanctions. No changes, no sanctions, the expert stressed.

Moscow was eager to disrupt the vote.In this case, Russia could blame Ukraine for not abiding by the Minsk agreements - and demand the lifting of sanctions, he said.

Following the Aug. 31 vote, protesters outside Rada tried to storm the legislature. A grenade and a bomb stuffed with nuts were thrown at the police, killing two and wounding a hundred of the law enforcers. The police have already arrested the person who threw the grenade, finding another one in his backpack and a firing pin from the grenade he had thrown.

Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Tuesday 01 September [Ukrainian sources] Empty Tim Ash comments on Radical Party leaving Ukraine gov’t coalition

Tue Sep 01, 2015 2:57 pm
Responding to reports that Oleh Lyashko’s Radical Party has left the government’s majority coalition, Nomura International’s top emerging market economist Timothy Ash offered the following comments at 15:03 today:

To some extent expected after the weekend Verkhovna Rada vote over decentralization. Radical Party leader, Oleh Lyashko (a populist) was always something of a testy character within the coalition. I guess the question mark now will be whether Tymoshenko’s Batkivshchyna follows suit and departs the pro-EU coalition – ahead of looming local elections later this year.

The bad news is that this means the ruling coalition formally lacks a constitutional majority, but still has a substantive absolute majority for the time-being.

It raises the question over some more substantive cooperation between Poroshenko/Yatsenyuk and Boyko’s Opposition Party. The latter would be a red rag to many supporters of Maidan, hence “beyond the pale” or the Ukrainian equivalent for any post-Maidan government in Ukraine.


I guess all the above party politics should matter to bond investors, as the debt restructuring deal is due to be put before parliament for approval. I guess that still looks set to get sign off, given Poroshenko/Yats still have a majority, but in the past “opposition” supporters from either side have tended to block parliamentary business on occasion for long spells. That’s probably a risk this time around as this constitutional reform issue dominates the agenda still.

Berioza asks for an end to political games - and what do we get from Tiagnibok??
Washing his hands of the blood.
He was inciting the violence, driving people on - his own Svoboda batallion. But - oh.....
it wasn't me.... the Ministry of the Interior are responsible for "Sich".
Tiagnibok is sick in the head.
And worst of all - he is a coward.


You can say that again about Tiahnybok - sick in the head.

Can you remember his early visit to the Rada forum? A million problems for Ukraine and the twat announces an end to Russian language in Ukrainian schools. Quite rightly, this pathetic attempt to change the laws of Ukraine and to provoke people did not see the light of day.
