Political repression?! He is sounding just like Liashko and Tymoshenko.
I've been to Irpen and Bucha many times, and know some political people there. The place stinks of corruption, as does most of Ukraine, believe me.

.....Without specifying what these obligations are, Trump declines to say when the answer might be “no” or whether or not, as president, he’d endorse an Article V resolution to rescue Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania if “little green men” or paratroopers or Spetsnaz descended upon them.
I think we can be reasonably assured that he would not, given what one of his GOP cheerleaders, prospective vice presidential consideration and mind-melded anti-Muslim bigot Newt Gingrich has just told CBS This Morning: “Estonia is in the suburbs of St. Petersburg… I’m not sure I would risk nuclear war.”....

.... Combined Russian-separatist forces grant the SMM access only sporadically and only when, as Deputy Chief Monitor Hug points out, there is nothing for monitors to see. In the meantime, the buildup of Russian heavy weapons and personnel in eastern Ukraine continues.

"Savchenko’s activity gives us chance to win and a hope that Ukrainian army will leave Donbas," - "DPR" militants’ leader Zakharchenko

"Savchenko’s activity gives us chance to win and a hope that Ukrainian army will leave Donbas," - "DPR" militants’ leader Zakharchenko
"DPR" militants’ chieftain Alexander Zakharchenko deems Ukrainian lawmaker Nadiia Savchenko a politician of the new generation that gives "DPR" a chance to win.
As reported by Censor.NET, Zakharchenko expects that such politicians will sit down at the negotiating table, after which the Ukrainian army will leave the Donbas.
"Savchenko openly declares that she is ready to negotiate. And that is the moment of Ukraine's reemergence. It is regenerating, with alternative politicians, alternative leaders, alternative people with alternative statements are appearing in it.
"What should we negotiate with the enemy? That victory which we must win all together. We can reach an agreement so that Ukraine leave and free our territory. In this case, Savchenko provides such an opportunity. She openly and honestly says that there is a civil war," the Russian terrorists' chieftain said.

Savchenko Calls For Reconciliation With Separatists, Sparks Outcry
Fri Jul 22, 2016 2:55 pm
Savchenko, who was elected to parliament while in prison, said in an interview broadcast July 21 on Ukraine’s Channel Five that Ukrainians must “ask for forgiveness.” Otherwise, she said, the violence that has gripped the country’s Donbas region since April 2014 would continue.
Her comments infuriated nationalist lawmakers and others, including Anton Herashchenko who also serves as an aide to the Interior Ministry.
“You, Nadia, are able to ask for forgiveness of...Russians who came to our lands to kill and rape, but we will never ask forgiveness of the occupiers and terrorists,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “We will, through clenched teeth, hold on and achieve the emancipation of our lands by any means!”..................
