A pro-Russian separatist (click here) has proclaimed a "people's government" in
Donetsk, eastern Ukraine's major city, that rejects Kiev's authority.
Pavel Gubarev spearheaded a takeover of the government headquarters by a mob
that broke through security grilles and smashed down the doors on Monday. A
day later supporters of the new regime filled the red leather seats in the
provincial chamber to consider his agenda.
The advertising executive declared he would co-opt a planned local vote on
autonomy from Kiev and tilt the city away from Ukraine in a new alignment
with Russia...
Yanukovych to Pavel: "Hey, Pavel, you know all those uniforms and guns I gave you. Now is the time, okay, buddy?"
...The advertising executive declared he would co-opt a planned local vote on autonomy from Kiev and tilt the city away from Ukraine in a new alignment with Russia....
If Russia is convinced they aren't involved in the Ukraine, they sure haven't made it clear to them.
There are Ukraine oligarchs. We have seen this before.
...Mr Taruta is worth an estimated £1.2 billion but his appointment has been condemned as a backward step in the fight against the heartily resented power of elite oligarchs in Ukrainian politics.
"We have had this man imposed on us," said Sergey Molchan, 28, unemployed. "It is an illegitimate move by an illegal authority that we reject. Where is our president?"
Beyond the immediate grounds of the council offices, the Russian-speaking residents of Donetsk, which is the centre of Ukraine's mining and metals industries, were ambivalent or critical of the takeover....
None of them have jet fighters, right?
...Hundreds of Donetsk residents sympathetic to Kiev's revolutionaries turned out on the streets of the city last night for a counter-demonstration against the self-appointed leadership. It passed off peacefully.
The Ukraine is booby trapped against the citizens. It's about the control of wealth. Power is wealth. That is corruption. Yanukovych is responsible. He supplied a power base of intimidation throughout the country to oppress citizens. That is why those that died were so willing to be aggressive in the Maidan. They knew what they were up against. Someone please learn the language and start to figure out where all the booby traps are?

If Putin wants to be believable in regard to the lack of interest by Russia, he needs to denouce the violence and refuse to support any idea that the violence guarantees the help or economic attachment to Russia.
The one person that knows exactly where all the militias are located, would be Yanukovych. This proves pre-meditation of violence against the people for his own purpose.
Free and fair elections can't occur with a guns to the citizen's heads. This is nonsense. The oligarchs have to be disarmed. The military allowed in a sovereign nation is it's national military. Right now the national military is disarmed in the Ukraine. They need to remain disarmed to insure their lives and safety. This is out of the realm of control of the national military.
The danger is among the towns of the country. There could be citizen deaths. The Ukraine people simply need to go about their lives and ignore the idea they have to be asserting themselves to insure the well being of their country. This type of problem has to be defused and NATO can't simply look the other way.
These free lancing militias know nothing about strategy or propriety. This is extremely dangerous for the citizens of the Ukraine. The people just need to go about their lives and avoid conflict and confrontation.
Yanukovych disseminated the national military into power structures that served the wealth structure of the country. It could be said he is dissolving the very sovereignty of the Ukraine. He has his own personal nation.
What does McCain think? Time to invade Russia?
