That last paragraph sounds like he wants to be a part of working with the Ukrainian government. Not after what he's put it through.

He's realized he's failed, mainly because the Kremlin more or less abandoned it and have taken things into their own hands. Now, perhaps he's see the greed the Kremlin has and get his thugs to fight against the Kremlin scourge. They've had their own infighting within DNR and LC, so why not fight against Russian soldiers.

IMO, seems they're history. Now it's the direct connection to Kremlin forces in Ukraine that have to be dealt with.

Chornovol Tetiana
People's Front deputy Tetiana Chornovol was attacked in the town of Myronivka of the Kyiv region.

She stated this in a comment to Censor.NET.

According to Chornovol, the incident occurred in the office of deputy Oleksandr Onyshchenko (previously Kadyrov - ed.), f former member of the Party of Regions, while she was trying to take pictures of documents.

"Private gas company, de facto owned by him (Onyshchenko - ed.) are registered in this office. On the table I saw documents of the "Prirodni Resursy +" company (Natural Resources +) and started to photograph them, due to the fact that four days after the execution of the Maidan on Jan. 26 (2014 - ed.) "Ukrhazdobycha" transferred the right to use state-owned gas wells to this company for a ridiculous price. It was important to photograph these documents, because now it became clear who controls the company. At that time, Onyshchenko's authorized representative and his right hand in Myronivskyi district Herehanov Hennadii attacked me. He forcefully took away my bag and broke my iPad," Chornovol said.

At the same time, she said it was done with cynically, since before the attack Herehanov asked her why such an honest MP has such an expensive Apple tablet.

"I explained to him that this iPad in fact belongs to my four year old son, and was given to him by the Interior Ministry on the day my deceased husband was posthumously awarded," Chornovol said.

Then the police arrived and, according to the deputy, intervened in the incident and released her. The deputy also noted that she had bruises on her body.

After Chornovol's departure from Myronivka, Onyshchenko's aide Oleksand Masalskyi arrived at the scene. The deputy also reminded that Herehanov is known in Myronivka as the man who organized the people for Antimaidan.

Earlier TSN program "Hroshі" (Money) reported that Minister of Environment Ihor Shevchenko is suspected of corruption in favor of MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko. Rumor has it that the minister's chair was purchased by Onyshchenko for unknown lawyer Ihor Shevchenko.

To learn more about the "relationship" between the minister and the MP, the journalists decided to talk to Shevchenko directly. But it turned out that the official was very elusive. He did not appear in the ministry, explaining his absence by a meeting. But the reporters found that there were no meetings of the Cabinet on that day. Shevchenko basically ignores his work. "The minister does come to the meetings of the Verkhovna Rada committee. The minister does not work in the ministry. He does not report to the Cabinet on critical environmental issues. Why do we need this mythical figure?" Tetiana Tymochko, head of All-Ukrainian Environmental League says.

Despite the absence of its head in the workplace, the Ministry is continuing with its usual corruption schemes. "This ministry is now one of the most corrupt, and this is evidenced by the arrest of its employees for bribery. This is evidenced by the scandalous stories with the issuance of licenses, and then with the check of these licensees," Tymochko says. The journalists learned that Minister Shevchenko makes easy money in the Ministry. The main source of income is licenses and permits in the mining area. The program's investigation found that each document costs $600, and the minister signed about 200 of them in December alone. Thus, in just a month Shevchenko could receive $120,000 in addition to a small salary of an official.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely now cursing his decision on Ukraine. This opinion was expressed Russian political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin.

"Putin overestimated his chances after he was so easily able to join the Crimea. As he later said, "Gently, gently, without any problems." He believed, and he said so that the entire so-called "New Russia" consisting of eight regions of Ukraine, as a ripe apple, fall into his hands, and then everything will be fine. That is to be a land bridge to the Crimea, a land bridge to Transnistria and pathetic victory march. It turned out not so. And in general, I must say that one thing - perception of the world, including from Russia, which somehow genuinely thought that there is a historic area, as a "New Russia". It quickly invented Mr. Dugin (Russian advocate, activist of so-called "Eurasian" movement Alexander Dugin. - Ed.), And Putin this wiring got. I think that now he curses those their decisions. Incidentally, Dugin pushed to the farthest pocket, from which he does not get out "- the expert said in an interview with an apostrophe .

According to him, "what he did Putin is, in fact, worse than a crime. This is mistake.

"As a result of the actions initiated already almost two years ago, when he tried to draw Ukraine into the Eurasian Union, he achieved the opposite result. Ukraine, as never before, far from Russia as never clearly looking to the West, closer than ever to join NATO. And the only thing that Putin could goodbye to bite - it Crimea, and not in the best state, cut off from the Russian Federation. Bridge to him, God forbid, if after five years to build, "- said the analyst.

Despite today’s vote in the House to bar US funding to a neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia, the “war party” continues to rattle its sabers over Ukraine.

On Wednesday the US House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Act which prohibits the United States from providing arms, training, and other assistance to the neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia, the Azov Battalion. This development was a welcome respite from the relentless push by the war party, a bipartisan group of legislators, government officials and their allies in the media, which seek conflict with Russia over the crisis in Ukraine, to undermine Secretary of State John Kerry’s diplomatic outreach to Russia in May.

Only a month ago, May 12, Kerry, after having met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for over four hours, stood with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference in Sochi where he expressed “President Obama’s gratitude for Russia’s willingness to engage in this discussion.” Reacting to reports that Ukrainian President Poroshenko had pledged to retake rebel held territory by force, Kerry warned that Washington “would strongly urge him to think twice not to engage in that kind of activity.”

Lavrov’s own impression of the Sochi meeting reflected, in retrospect, undue optimism, telling a reporter from the state-owned Russian news channel Rossiya 24 in late May that he believed Kerry’s trip to Sochi likely meant “that there is an understanding in Washington that we need to build bridges and end this unfortunate period in our relations.”

Given President Obama’s statements following the completion of the latest G7 summit on Tuesday in Krun, Germany, it would seem that Washington is a long way off from such an “understanding.” Trumpeting Russia’s “isolation” from the G7, the President noted with evident satisfaction that thanks to the EU’s sanctions regime “Russia is in deep recession” and the group stands ready to “impose additional, significant sanctions.” Mr. Obama’s rhetoric at the G7 had a positively Cold War tinge to it, asking of the Russian President: “Does he continue to wreck his country’s economy and continue Russia’s isolation in pursuit of a wrong-headed desire to re-create the glories of the Soviet empire?”.........................

The purpose of these entities is to create a mass of complaints to the posts with the aim to bring to the lock, and then to a prolonged elimination of those sections or pages that do not conform to the policy of Putin.

"The worst thing is that the offices of Facebook in any way do not check these claims, although it has long been known about the army toll trolls in the service of the Kremlin. Therefore, it may give the impression that Facebook - is not the American portal, and the Kremlin. This behavior Facebook has actually become a tool of Russian propaganda, which is struggling with the freedom of speech on the Internet and supports terrorism "- adds Podvorsky.

In the case of the latest attacks on the Russian paid trolls profile www.facebook.com/porteuropa.eu reason for blocking steel links to innocent article in Ukrainian newspaper "Sivershchyna" from Chernigov that «Port Europa» to create a free online course Belarusian language Ukrainians.
