Defence minister dismissed (click here)
Also Tuesday, Ukraine’s parliament dismissed acting Defence Minister Ihor Tenyukh in a second vote, having earlier rejected his offer to resign over his handling of Russia's annexation of Crimea.Many Ukrainian servicemen complained they were left with no guidance as pro-Russian forces blocked them in their own bases, before seizing the facilities. Kyiv recalled its troops from Crimea on Monday, telling to come back to protect mainland Ukraine from any further potential incursion.
The repeat vote followed consultations between party faction leaders and Ukraine's acting president and parliamentary speaker.
Lawmakers elected Mykhailo Koval, head of the Ukrainian border guard, to replace Tenyukh.
There is also reports a Maidan protester considered a right wing extremists in some of the media, Aleksandr Muzychk, is dead. The reasons for his death are everything from assassination to confrontation with police. The only reason not given is suicide. There are no real answers to his death, but, he was wanted by Russia for everything from breathing to murder. This death is all over the map and there is no real way of determining what occurred.
