Dozens hurt and arrested after Ukrainian nationalists attack parliament

A
mass nationalist protest near the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev has
turned violent, with 15 policemen wounded and at least 50 rioters
arrested. Radicals are demanding “war veteran” status for armed
nationalist rebels who fought for the Nazis in WWII.
On
Tuesday afternoon, an estimated 8,000 far-right activists gathered at
the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) as MPs considered a bill
that would recognize members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) as
war veterans.
Frustrated
by parliament's decision, protesters then attacked police with rocks, firecrackers, and chains.
The
demonstrators – mainly nationalist supporters of the far-right
Svoboda party and the radical Right Sector movement – clashed with
officers, hurled stones, and broke widows of the parliament building.
Interior
Minister Adviser Anton Geraschenko said at least 15 police officers
were wounded in clashes with protesters.
A
video from the scene in Kiev showed officers in riot gear standing in
tight formations near the building, as occasional bangs from
exploding firecrackers were heard in the distance.
“Fifty
participants of the provocation near the Verkovna Rada have already
been arrested,” Geraschenko said on his Facebook page. According to
the police press office, about 40 people were detained, including one
law enforcement representative and a TV cameraman.
Violent
clashes outside parliament forced Speaker Aleksandr Turchinov to
cancel the Rada session halfway through. Because of the “provocative
actions by young people,” parliamentarians failed to consider a
number of bills.
“It
was reported that they started setting tires on fire. I call on the
people doing it: such actions will not help pass this law. You will
make part of the members leave the hall and there won't be enough to
vote. Those who organized those people, please, call the street to
order and stop interfering with the work of the parliament,”
Turchinov said, as quoted by Ria Novosti.
Meanwhile,
a Right Sector rally in Kiev was attended by 5,000 supporters on
Tuesday, with mainly masked activists holding flags and burning
torches.
NATO games in Ukraine push world 5 minutes before nuclear midnight - Stephen Cohen
The
West and Russia can’t seem to get over their differences, with the
tensions between the Washington and Kremlin changing the stakes for
the whole world. How far would this confrontation go? Is there
another Cold War coming? And finally, will the world once again know
the horror of a Nuclear War looming over the humanity? We ask these
questions to a prominent American scholar on Russian studies,
Professor at New York University and Princeton University. Stephen
Cohen is on Sophie&Co today
Another great interview from Andrew Korybko....
Fascism
has taken control of our planet and collapse is not far away. If you
have access to the net you have access to the truth which is more
than the 300 people murdered in MH370 and the 300 disappeared on
MH17.
