Ukie stormtroopers assault Russian church and bank in Kiev


Self explanatory - not in English but it’s not really necessary.  I love how these masked thugs are the "new face of Europe" and how neo-Nazis just love these "mini-Kristallnacht" reenactment.  In Western Europe Nazism is banned.  In Eastern Europe it is sponsored.  By the West Europeans. Go figure...

The Saker




Kiev's bloody eastern Ukraine campaign LIVE UPDATES




Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has promised a ceasefire, urging anti-government fighters to lay down their arms. Donbass militias are skeptical as hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands displaced in Kiev’s ongoing military campaign.

18:22 GMT:
The railroad tracks in the Donetsk Region were blown up as the freight train belonging to Russian Railways was passing by, the company said. 14 freight cars were derailed as a result of the incident, with Russian Railways employees on the train avoiding injuries. The company is currently working on specifying the details of the attack.
15:43 GMT:
About 50 people picketed Russia’s general consulate in Kiev, throwing walnuts into the building, the press service of Ukraine’s Interior Ministry said, Itar-Tass reported. Local police said the protesters “did not disturb public order.”
“There were about 60 people,” the press-attaché of the Russian diplomatic mission to Ukraine, Oleg Grishin, told RT. “They were peaceful at first, but now the situation is developing in not a good way: [they] are shouting anti-Russian slogans, trying to break through security and get to the consulate office, bringing tires to the scene. The situation is tense.”




Grishin suggested that the attackers are the same extremists who earlier near Kiev’s Pechersk Lavra monastery and then vandalized Russia’s Sberbank office. Russia’s consulate is located close to the monastery, so Grishin said it is possible that the young men were heading for the consulate

13:18 GMT:  Extreme nationalists have clashed with police officers outside Kiev’s Pechersk Lavra monastery. A group of about 200 radicals gathered outside the monastery, from where religious activists planned a procession against Ukraine signing the EU Association Agreement and the “anti-terrorist operation” in the southeast of the country. Police blocked access to the Lavra to avoid clashes between the two groups. After that radicals have attacked Russia’s Sberbank office in Kiev. Masked extremists shattered windows with stones and hurled placards. They did not enter the office. Local media reports that security forces were deployed.
11:56 GMT:
Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande noted the necessity of immediate negotiations between Kiev and representatives of protesting regions, a statement by the Kremlin website said.
“V. Putin supported the decision of Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko to negotiate a plan on peaceful regulation [in Ukraine],” the statement said, adding that the intentions of Ukraine’s president should be supported by an immediate ceasefire.
11:32 GMT:
Kiev’s troops are now firing shelling mortars at the village of Ananyevka near the city of Lugansk, eastern Ukraine, the press service of the People’s Republic of Lugansk reported. No victims have been reported yet.
11:08 GMT:
Due to the fact that the commander of the Ukrainian special forces didn’t try to contact the leadership of the self-defense forces, the ceasefire declared by President Poroshenko unilaterally will not be observed by the anti-government troops.
03:56 GMT:
Italy has asked the Ukrainian authorities to clarify the circumstances, in which Italian photographer Andy Rocchelli was killed in the east Ukrainian city of Slavyansk in May, Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini said after visiting Cesura, a publication where the deceased journalist worked.

“We insist on the continuation of the investigation, which was initiated by the authorities in Kiev, about the facts of the death of Andrea Rokkelli. We deem it necessary to seek clarification on its development,”Mogherini said as she called on Ukraine to punish those responsible.



Today, a new batallion of 200 men swore it's loyalty to the and went to reinforce Slavyansk
