Time
to grab guns and kill damn Russians – Tymoshenko in leaked tape
Ukrainians
must take up arms against Russians so that not even scorched earth
will be left where Russia stands; an example of former Ukrainian PM
Yulia Tymoshenko’s vitriol in phone call leaked online.
RT,
24 March, 2014
Tymoshenko
confirmed the authenticity of the conversation
on Twitter, while pointing out that a section where she is heard to
call for the nuclear slaughter of the eight million Russians who
remain on Ukrainian territory was edited.
She
tweeted “The conversation took
place, but the '8 million Russians in Ukraine' piece is an edit. In
fact, I said Russians in Ukraine – are Ukrainians. Hello FSB :)
Sorry for the obscene language.”
The
former Ukrainian PM has not clarified who exactly she wants to nuke.
Розмова була, але про 8 млн росіян в Україні - монтаж. Насправді сказала: росіяни в Україні - це українці.Привіт ФСБ:) Вибачте за нецензурне
Shufrych's press service flatly contradicted Tymoshenko, slamming the tape as fake. The press release reads "The conversation didn't take place," as quoted by korrespondent.net.The phone conversation with Nestor Shufrych, former deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, was uploaded on YouTube on Monday by user Sergiy Vechirko.
The
leaked phone call took placed on March 18, hours after the Crimea &
Sevastopol accession treaty was signed in the Kremlin.
While
Shufrych was “just
shocked,”
Tymoshenko was enraged by the results of the Crimean referendum .
“This
is really beyond all boundaries. It’s about time we grab our guns
and kill go kill those damn Russians together with their leader,”
Tymoshenko said.
The
ex-pm declared if she was in charge “there
would be no f***ing way that they would get Crimea then.”
Shufrych
made the valid point that Ukraine “didn’t
have any force potential”
to keep Crimea.
But
Tymoshenko, who plans to run in Ukraine’s presidential election,
expressed confidence that she would have found "a
way to kill those a*****es.”
“I
hope I will be able to get all my connections involved. And I will
use all of my means to make the entire world raise up, so that there
wouldn’t be even a scorched field left in Russia,"
she promised.
Despite
being incapacitated by spinal disc hernia the ex-PM stressed she’s
ready to “grab a machine gun and shoot that m*********er in the
head.”
Tymoshenko
rose to power as a key figure in the pro-European Orange Revolution
in 2004, becoming Ukrainian prime minister 2007-2010.
She
was imprisoned in 2012, under president Viktor Yanukovich, after
being found guilty of exceeding her authority by signing a gas supply
and transit deal with Russia.
The
deal is claimed to have cost Ukraine's national oil and gas company,
Naftogaz, around US$170 million.
Tymoshenko
served part of her seven-year sentence in prison before being
relocated to a Kharkov hospital.
She
was released immediately after the Kiev coup which ousted Yanukovich.
This
is not the first telephone leak scandal since the Ukrainian turmoil
began last November.
In February, a tape was revealed, in which
US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe,
Victoria
Nuland, said “F**k
the EU”
as she was discussing the formation of the future Ukrainian
government with the US ambassador to the country, Geoffrey Pyatt.
And at the beginning of March a phone conversation between EU
Foreign Affairs Сhief, Catherine Ashton, and Estonian foreign
affairs minister, Urmas Paet, was made public.
Speaking with
Ashton, Paet stressed that there was suspicion that the snipers
in Kiev,
who shot at protesters and police in Kiev might have been hired by
Maidan leaders.
‘Revival
of anarchy’: Ukraine radicals rob Russia-Moldova train passengers
The
recent robbing of passengers, traveling from Russia to Moldova via
Ukraine’s territory, by a local ultra-nationalist Insurgent Army is
a manifestation of “anarchy,” the Russian Foreign Ministry has
said

RT,

On
March 21, the train, en route from Moscow to the capital of Moldova,
Chisinau, made a scheduled stop in the city of Vinnitsa in central
Ukraine.
“To
the horror of passengers…people dressed in the uniform of the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) got into carriages and began a
‘document check’. People who showed Russian passports were then
made to hand over their money and golden jewelry,” the Russian
Ministry said on Monday in a statement published on its website.
The
robbery was accompanied with “political sensitization,” diplomats
said.
Moscow
also said it was “bewildered” by the refusal of the Ukrainian
police to take any action when the victims attempted to file a
report.
“That
is the kind of ‘rule of law’ that is currently being formed in
Ukraine,” the ministry said. “It seems that the anarchy of the
beginning of the 20th century is reviving.”
A
similar incident occurred with passengers traveling from the
Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog to the Russian capital, reported the NTV
channel. However, this time it was either Ukrainian border guards or
customs service officers who were involved.
According
to passengers, during the border control procedure, Ukrainian
officers grabbed passports from Russian citizens providing them with
no explanation.
Passenger,
Angela Piskokha, told NTV that Ukrainian officials then offered her
the opportunity to buy back her own passport for 6,000 rubles (US$
166).
Russia
shrugs off threat of permanent expulsion from G8
Sergei
Lavrov says: if our western partners say there is no future for G8,
'then so be it. We are not clinging to that format'
24
March, 2014
The
Russian foreign minister has shrugged off the threat of exclusion
from meetings of the world's largest industrial countries and the
suspension of the G8, saying that Moscow was "not clinging to"
membership of what he described as an informal group.
Sergei
Lavrov was speaking minutes after his first meeting with his
Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Deshchytsia, at the margins of the
global nuclear security summit in The Hague. He said that he would
maintain contacts with the authorities in Kiev, but gave no sign of
any breakthrough in the impasse over the future of Crimea.
He
drew a comparison between Crimea and Kosovo and asked whether the
west wanted "blood to [be] shed" in the same way.
As
he was speaking, leaders from the G7 industrialised countries,
including Barack Obama, David Cameron, Angela Merkel and François
Hollande, were meeting nearby in the Dutch prime minister's
residence, to discuss how to increase punitive pressure on Russia for
its annexation of Crimea. Western diplomats said they expected a
joint statement dissolving the G8 group, which has provided a forum
for contacts between the western industrialised world and Russia
since 1998.
"As
long as the political environment for the G8 is not at hand, as is
the case at the moment, there is no G8 – neither as a concrete
summit meeting or even as a format for meetings," Angela Merkel,
the German chancellor, said before the talks.
Lavrov
presented the threat as insignificant.
"The
G8 is an informal club, with no formal membership, so no one can be
expelled from it," Lavrov said. "Its raison d'etre was for
deliberations between western industrialised countries and Russia,
but there are other fora for that now … so if our western partners
say there is no future for that format, then so be it. We are not
clinging to that format."
He
claimed to have won "understanding" for Russia's stance
from countries including Brazil, India China and South Africa.
Shortly
before his meeting with Lavrov, Deshchytsia, the acting Ukrainian
foreign minister, said his government had been seeking such an
encounter for three weeks, "to establish a dialogue on how we
can peacefully settle the conflict that exists between Ukraine and
Russia".
"We
wanted to find out what they are thinking about Ukraine and what they
are thinking of their plans towards Ukraine," Deshchytsia said.
"We
want to live peacefully with Russia. We want our nations to co-exist
and they will co-exist. So we wanted to sit down around the table and
find a solution, maybe drink vodka. But since we don't know their
plans, the possibility for a military intervention is very high,
taking into consideration the intel information about the deployment
of a very big number of Russian troops on the eastern borders of
Ukraine.
"We
are very much worried about the concentration of troops on our
eastern borders but at the same time we are ready to defend our
homeland. Our military and civilians living in eastern Ukraine –
Ukrainians, Russians other nationalities – are ready to defend
their homeland, and our military is also ready to defend Ukraine."
Schizophrenia? Ukraine interim PM's policy twists and turns
Ukraine's interim Prime Minister has admitted his chances of staying in power beyond the next election are slim. Tax hikes and mishandling of relations with Russia, have dealt a blow to Arseniy Yatsenyuk's authority. And for many, it's becoming increasingly difficult to navigate the twists and turns in his policies, as RT's Marina Kosareva explains.
