In Donetsk, proclaimed the Donetsk People's Republic, in Lugansk announced the creation of the parliament of the Lugansk Republic
Deputies of the Donetsk Regional Council and supporters of the federalization of Ukraine, who today announced the creation of the Donetsk People's Republic, made an appeal to Vladimir Putin and asked to bring peacekeepers to the region. In addition, the Donetsk People’s Council decided to hold a referendum on the creation of the Donetsk People’s Republic no later than 11 in May.
The protesters decided to create a People’s Council due to the fact that the Donetsk Regional Council refuses to collect an extraordinary session and decide to hold a referendum on the status of the Donetsk region.
Near the building of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Luhansk region, captured by pro-Russian activists, the rally continues. People who have seized the building are strengthening the barricades. They were fenced off with a fence, reinforced with sandbags, and the car tires folded behind it were poured with combustible mixtures.
Speakers at the rally declared that they were going to create a parliament of the Lugansk Republic, elect new people's deputies and create a new government, Interfax reports. There was also a small skirmish, as a result of which the demonstrators pushed journalists and cameramen away from the venue of the rally.

Russia's airborne troops for the first time in stories successfully landed with the help of parachutes on the drifting ice of the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole, said a spokesman for the Airborne Forces Lt. Col. Yevgeny Meshkov on Tuesday.
He clarified that the personnel do not have any regular weapons with them, except for knives and hunting rifles received at the polar station for protection against wild animals.
The temperature at the height from which the landing was done was almost -70 centigrade. The air temperature at the surface is about minus thirty. Almost zero visibility, strong gusts of wind. In such conditions, perhaps, only the Russian "blue berets" could have landed. And they did! Successfully fired! And then there is still a multi-kilometer march on skis and snowshoes with a load on the back with the guidance of an improvised crossing in places with relatively thin ice by the polar standards.
Western “partners” have only one phrase: the temperature overboard is minus 94 Fahrenheit (this is -70 degrees Celsius) before their eyes the whole life, I suppose, runs through ... And if someone from the heat-loving Western military personnel were announced that that they are also going to parachute him at such an air temperature in the North Pole region, then the soldier would definitely write a report and, in addition, complain to the human rights society ... Still - Coca-Cola freezes, the game console does not "function", on on iPhones, the “application” hangs with a half-centimeter frost coating, Drones become easy prey for eiderdown flocks... Well, how can they fight in such conditions?..
And we also managed to connect to the Internet. How? For the "partners" we reveal a terrible Russian military secret: with the help of a hammer and such and such a mother ...

The structure of the Unified State Examination (USE) will again undergo changes. From next year, schoolchildren will not be able to choose one of the four answer choices in block “A”.
“We plan to phase out part A of the Unified State Exam assignments from all options in all subjects,” Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov told the Izvestia newspaper.
In addition, it is planned to introduce an oral exam in all humanitarian subjects and to transfer the state examination from a written form to a fully electronic format.
Interesting interesting. Now, the elimination of the test part of the Unified State Examination, as well as the planned use of an oral response form of students in humanitarian subjects, is presented almost as a new reform of the Ministry of Education and Science ... And few people in the department take the liberty to declare that the Unified State Examination in the present form is completely itself discredited, and you just need to take and return to the method developed over decades.
True, in the State Duma decided that even statements about the need to abandon the test form sounded out of time. It turns out that this somehow can traumatize the psyche of graduates who have already tuned in to the "familiar" USE. But the thing is that the current eleventh graders will still take the EGE in the "last year" options, that is, with tests, and without oral answers. The beginning of the "reform" is scheduled only for next year. Is it possible that the announcements of “psychological trauma” will be so effective that Mr. Livanov will leave everything as it is for 2015? ..

The impolite people
A resident of Donetsk posted in social networks a photograph of a group of military who stood next to the local military registration and enlistment office. The fighters, armed with machine guns and light machine guns, spoke English. The form was clearly not Ukrainian.
Earlier, the coordinator of the united organization of activists in Donetsk, Self-Defense of Donbass, told reporters that a plane with two hundred foreign servicemen got into Donetsk. According to him, the legionnaires "do not speak either Russian or Ukrainian."
According to an eyewitness, the Donetsk team determined that the “guests” came to them after one of the men in the uniform was asked “what time was it?” The interlocutor muttered something unintelligible and quickly got on the bus, followed by the others, one of whom dropped the bag and, raising it, said a few expletives not in Ukrainian, or even in Russian.
The lawyers of the Ukrainian army, denying the presence of foreign PMCs (private military companies) in the Square, immediately declared that, supposedly, from some kind of fright, the military had to answer the civilian question about time, and why the average Ukrainian soldier could not afford swear in English.
And, yes, yes, yes ... Talking with civilians about time is a military secret - once. Cursing in English is a trend for a modern Ukrainian army - two. Then everything fits ...
Here are just "face muzzle" do not converge. Well, not Ternopil, not Sumy, and not even Kiev, they, judging by the frames, which are a dime a dozen in social networks and judging by the testimony of eyewitnesses themselves. But one does not need to be certified specialists in ethnography to distinguish our average Slavic brother from a representative of the “progressive” Western world, even if the first one has mastered the poor English-language dictionary of “mathematical” phraseological units well.

Unsatisfied "Fahrion in a Skirt" ...
The deputy of the nationalist party Svoboda, Irina Fahrion, said that the “creatures” who take part in protest actions in the south-east of Ukraine “deserve only one thing - death”.
Farion? This is not the same Fahrion, who was an exemplary Komsomol from 1978, from 1987, an exemplary communist with claims of activity (no joke is the only student who is a member of the CPSU in the whole department of Ivan Franko Lviv State University). And isn't this Fahrion, who for years 20 tried to lie to her own compatriots, declaring that she had nothing to do with either the VLKSM or the CPSU? So she is the one!
Now Fahrion decided to actively participate in "Freedom". She, it seems, doesn’t care where to belong. For the membership of it is rushing!
There is an opinion that if “Freedom” suddenly collapses tomorrow, Fahrion will quickly orient and join another political force, beginning to replicate statements that all the “Svobodov” words she uttered were uttered under threats of violence from the side of…
And maybe the whole thing is that Fahrion is in the status of "razvedenki"? So the feminine feminine fantasies poured into the political mainstream ...

Saakashvili traced on Independence
The General of the Georgian Army, the former commander of the Avaza battalion Tristan Tsitelashvili, made a sensational statement. He claims that the snipers who shot at people on the Kiev Maidan were former subordinates of the ex-president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili.
General Tsitelashvili:
Well, it’s not for nothing that the Georgian tie-uphill, now mastering the vastness of the United States of America, was so eager to come out before the Maidan, calling for a fight with all forces and means against the main enemy (who is this enemy in Saakashvili’s feverish imagination? - we guess). The funds, as is known, are mostly overseas, but Saakashvili’s forces decided to provide, including their own, in the form of home-grown killer-provocateurs, who, apparently, have not yet managed to grab a soft spot in Georgia itself.
But, as they say, everything secret sooner or later becomes clear, and even more so when it comes to such a gentleman as the ex-president of Georgia. This time he also “slept” - apparently, the directors cannot teach him how to work without leaving traces - he will definitely have to light up somewhere ...
By the way, after Saakashvili settled in the United States, the Americans began to recount the number of their states daily, referring to the “reference” number of stars on the national flag - you never know ...

State border
In Crimea, the formation of the staff structure of the Office of the Frontier Service of the FSB of Russia began.
The staff of the Department will include both employees from different regions of Russia, and those who previously served in the border service of Ukraine, but decided to stay in Crimea. According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, more than 70 percent of Ukrainian border guards and almost 90 percent of those who served in the SBU expressed a desire to remain in the service in the Crimea.
One of the incidents that occurred on the Crimean part of the Russian-Ukrainian border the other day is an incident with representatives of the OSCE mission, which (the mission) is working in Ukraine these days. The “missionaries” tried to appear on the territory of the Republic of Crimea, explaining to the border guards that they had a mandate to monitor the Ukrainian situation. Then, for the gentlemen from the OSCE, the border guards had to conduct a lesson in modern geography, explaining that Ukraine is that the mission’s representatives are from the rear now, and that the front is Russia. "Missionaries" flared up. Like, how it is! - Here are our cards! Here is our mandate! Crimea, Ukraine! To which the Russian border guards politely replied that they could now use their cards except for hygienic purposes, like mandates in fact ...
At this very time, Kiev “offers” JSC Russian Railways, as well as Belarusian Railways, from 27 in May of this year, to refuse to sell tickets to the territory of Ukraine, for quotation: there was a mismatch of train schedules in the Crimean direction. What prevents to agree - naturally, they did not specify ...
Meanwhile, the statistics is that 14 Russian, 3 Belarusian and 25 Ukrainian trains (not counting several Moldovan and Azerbaijani trains) have traveled between Russia and Ukraine to this day. That is, it turns out that here, the Kiev self-proclaimed power rises on the throat of its own people - each year more than 5,5 million Ukrainian citizens use the railway services to travel to Russia, bringing billions of hryvnias to the treasury of Ukraine ... I wonder what Ukrzaliznytsia will undertake, if the Railways refuse such "offers"? - Explosions? .. Grips? .. Boarding? ..

The five deputies of the State Duma call on the Prosecutor General’s Office, using all the documents at their disposal, to recognize the actions of the Soviet authorities in 1990-1991 as criminal, linked with overt state separatism.
Among the points of inquiry are the verification of the legitimacy of the decisions adopted by the so-called USSR State Council on recognizing the independence of the Baltic republics, the unaccounted opinion of Soviet citizens expressed during the referendum in 1991 year.
Deputies propose to bring Gorbachev to justice for his actions as leader of the state, which (actions) led to the collapse of the country, bloodshed, chaos, manifesting itself in certain territories of the former USSR today.
Gorbachev did not become silent (apparently, he was struck alive) and offered to judge the Supreme Council, which made the decision to terminate the existence of such a state as the Soviet Union. In addition, the first and last president of the USSR proposed to dissolve the current State Duma, however, after some time people close to Gorbachev said that he did not say that. Many believed ... As they believed, Mikhail Sergeyevich didn’t have anything to do with the collapse of the USSR ... They say that there was a country and there was no country - I wasn’t guilty - it collapsed - bad people slipped ...

Counting bulletins
5 April presidential elections in Afghanistan. More than seven million people arrived at the polling stations who wished to vote for candidates (in total, 12 million people have the right to vote in the country). The turnout was a little less than sixty percent, which for a country of poppy plantations, intimidated by Taliban terrorists, is an impressive result. In the elections, according to the site “Afganistan.ru”, the militants conducted 690 attacks on polling stations. Attacks on the polling stations - up to rocket attacks - became a serious obstacle to the elections: several hundred polling stations were closed. However, the majority of the polling stations worked, and the voting was considered valid. Now it's up to the vote count.
As transmits "Afghanistan.ru" With reference to the Ariana TV channel, more than seven million people in Afghanistan voted in the presidential election. Voter turnout was 58%. Among voters, 35% were women (double the number compared to 2009 of the year). For security reasons, the 211 polling stations had to be closed, but the 6212 polling stations continued to operate.
As for the timing of counting ballots, then, as you can learn from the latest News, the electoral commission of Afghanistan said that the results of the vote will be known no earlier than April 24.
It should also be noted that President Karzai supports candidate Zalmay Rasul. In 2002, Rasul was briefly Minister of Civil aviation, and then became an adviser to the president of Afghanistan on security issues. From January 2010 to October 2013 served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan. For twelve years, Rasul accompanied Karzai on many important trips.

Photos for Kim
In two weeks, the South Korean authorities discovered three unmanned aerial vehicles on their territory, which, as Seoul believes, were sent from the territory of the DPRK. UAVs crashed in South Korea. Two aircraft were able to photograph a number of military facilities and the residence of the President of South Korea. In the South, they are already talking about "significant breaches in the air defense of the country."
Now the South Korean military intends to increase air defense forces, simultaneously forcing the creation of their own UAVs to monitor the DPRK.
Here is what is interesting. If three UAVs were discovered, and all of them fell as a result of accidents related to technical malfunctions, how many drones did Kim launch? How many objects were photographed? It turns out that the young North Korean leader outwitted the southerners, who are firmly friends with the USA and are prone to treat the amateur machinery from Comrade Kim with some contempt!

Latvia launched the international military exercises Operation Summer Shield XI. More than 600 soldiers from Latvia, Estonia and the USA take part in the training. The task of the exercise is to work out fire support in the onset of infantry troops.
The host country declared training for its soldiers as part of 350 exercises. Among them are infantry, representatives of the mortar, anti-tank, reconnaissance, engineering units and units of air support controllers, as well as a group of sappers.
The training will take place in two stages: theoretical and practical training will take place from 7 to 11 on April, and tactical tasks and combat firing with the participation of the Mi-12 helicopter and the Estonian Air Force L-16 at the Adazi military training ground will be held from 17 to 39 in April. This site is located near the Gulf of Riga, about 20 km from Riga and less than 300 km from the Russian border.
It is necessary to remind the readers: these teachings are next, eleventh, and they have nothing to do with the so-called “Crimean crisis” and “annexation” of Crimea by Russia, about which much is written in the European and American press and speak at all sorts of summits. Nevertheless, the image of the enemy when “working off tactical tasks” for NATO allies emerges more distinctly, and Russia cannot be forgotten about this.

Split Assembly
The head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Alexei Pushkov, made a statement on the situation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. PACE deprived the Russian delegation of the right to vote until the end of the year and excluded it from all the governing bodies in connection with the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
The amendment reads: “... in order to express its condemnation and disapproval of the actions of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine, the Assembly decides to suspend the following rights of the delegation of the Russian Federation until the end of the 2014 session: right to vote; the right to be represented in the Bureau of the Assembly, the Presidential Committee, the Standing Committee; the right to participate in election observation missions. ”
92 voted in favor of the amendment, 74 was against and 19 abstained.
The Russian delegation leaves the April session of the PACE ahead of schedule in protest against the substantial limitation of its powers in the Assembly and reserves the right to consider the question of further participation in the organization’s activities, said Alexey Pushkov, the head of the delegation.
“We will not take part in the further work of the session. Now we are leaving this session in protest and reserve the right to consider the question of Russia's further participation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, ”Pushkov said at a briefing on Thursday.
Alexey Pushkov also stated that the Assembly had betrayed its own principles: human rights and the rule of law.
Russia will take the decision to stay in PACE in the next two to three weeks, the head of the Russian delegation told reporters.
It can be stated: the Crimean question split the PACE. Further, the contradictions in the Assembly will only increase. There will be supporters of Russia and there will be opponents.
After the "annexation" of the Crimea, about which Western politicians do not get tired of shouting, the United States and Europe led the world to a new cold war. Both PACE and the UN, and even more so NATO, are convenient platforms for sermons directed against the “aggressor”.

Frau Merkel, don't listen to grandpa
On the portal "NewsBalt" A translation of the “Grandpa Kurt” column (Opa Kurt) published in the online Rostock Magazine. This "grandfather" writes about what he wants, and so far no one has decided to edit his texts. This time, in his column, Kurt criticized the West, told the readers about the good Putin, and shared with Frau Merkel his plans for ... the return of the city of Konigsberg to Germany.
“Occupy Konigsberg!” He advises Angela Merkel.
"Grandfather" appeals to international law:
The "grandfather" is on the ready and strong point. Russia can not answer! How do you attack a country that is a member of the formidable NATO bloc?
"Grandpa" insists:
One of them was forgotten or deliberately silent about the famous Rostock satirist. About the most important thing. A referendum was held on the Crimea peninsula, and almost all residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea who wished to vote reunited with Russia. Here are two questions submitted for the plebiscite: “Are you for the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation?” And “Are you for restoring the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea 1992 of the year and for the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine?” 96,77% referendum participants.
The path of "Kurt's grandfather" is completely different and is based on the call "Occupy Koenigsberg!" But did Putin occupy the Crimea? The obvious juggling. The German reader must unwittingly swallow a slipped roast fact. Occupy is a favorite occupation of Western warriors. Americans. And the Germans, if grandfather knows, have unleashed two world wars in the past century.
And how you like it: “I would have filled up Russians in Königsberg with propaganda literature praising the charm of the German social state ...”? Kurt knows perfectly well that Moscow not only did not fill the Crimea with any propaganda, but even in a certain sense was the opposite: Ukraine blocked Russian TV channels (Channel One. World Wide Web, RTR-Planeta, Russia-24 and NTV Mir "). But pro-Western broadcasting in Ukraine was abundant. And now it has not gone anywhere.
The German "grandfather" is well aware that in his case, propaganda will be required. He understands that “Konigsberg” will not go to Germany for good. How many Germans can be found there? .. Not even half a percent will be typed. Hence, the imperative ("Occupy"), and the intimidation of NATO.
And the columnist himself admits that Crimea is predominantly populated by Russians.
It is strange that another “grandfather”, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, has not yet joined satirist Kurt. Give the Germans Kaliningrad on the Ural Mountains! Wind of change, yes, western villains?

The medicine against fear
Former Secretary of Defense and Former CIA Director Robert Gates recently published in the Opinion column. "The Wall Street Journal" a rather long article entitled “Putin's Challenge to the West” (“Putin’s Challenge to the West”). In it, he argues that Russia will "challenge" not only the Crimea or even all of Ukraine, but will go further. Why so? And because Putin, it turns out, “has long been offended” by the West, which broke the USSR.
Gates writes that Putin has “a completely different view of the world than the leaders of Europe and the USA.” The Russian leader "does not share the respectful attitude of Western leaders to international law, to the inviolability of borders, which, according to Western opinion, can change only in the process of negotiations, due process and under the rule of law."
According to Gates, Putin is indifferent to "human and political rights." If the West is based on the principle of mutually beneficial relations between nations, then for Mr. Putin, Robert Gates notes, every deal promises a loss to someone. On the one hand, the advantage, therefore, the other must lose. According to Putin, the acquisition, preservation and accumulation of power - this is the essence and meaning of the game. So thinks the former US Secretary of Defense.
How can the West confront such a man? It turns out that there are ways.
The West must enter into a long strategic game that Putin is playing on the periphery of Russia, Gates writes. Through Western influences, Russians should learn that Putin’s world view and goals will significantly weaken and isolate Russia.
Gates also offers practical tools for influencing Moscow. In his opinion, it is necessary to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas supplies. In addition, Russia should impose "really" serious economic sanctions. Finally, NATO allies on the border with Russia should be strengthened militarily.
Further, the former head of the Pentagon proposes to reduce Western investment in Russia. He also speaks not only against Russia's participation in the G-8, but also for excluding it from other international forums (“involving respect and legitimacy”).
Well, of course, ex-Secretary of Defense reminds President Obama that the US defense budget should be restored to the level proposed for 2014 by the Obama administration a year ago. We can not allow a sharp reduction in defense spending.
"The aggressive and arrogant actions of Vladimir Putin," concludes R. Gates, demand from Western leaders "strategic thinking, bold leadership, and steel determination - immediately."
It seems to add as a commentary, a manifestation of “strategic thinking” among Western leaders would be a desire to abandon the new cold war and the military confrontation, which in fact one way or another R. Gates preaches. From 2006 to 2011 years, this man was not the kitchen, but the Pentagon. And his recommendations to strangle Russia with sanctions, which supposedly intends to seize not only Ukraine, but also something else (not named), very much resemble a clear desire to unleash a new cold war. And the councils to strengthen the allies of the United States in NATO militarily and to cancel the planned cuts in the US defense budget are nothing but an obvious message to the new arms race. And behind this race, as you know, the ominous ghost of military confrontation always looms, which Mr. Gates allegedly does not want ...

Hillary Clinton and boot recycling
Hillary Clinton, who gave a lecture in Las Vegas, was not waiting for a warm reception. She went on stage, and a shoe flew out of the hall into it.
The meeting was held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and was devoted to the recycling of industrial waste. About a thousand people came to listen to Clinton.
Shoes threw a woman who did not appear on the list of invitees. Clinton managed to dodge and said: “God, I didn’t know that recycling solid waste is such a provocative topic.”
The guards tied up the culprit of the incident and brought out of the hall, now she is in custody.
It is curious that the one who threw the shoe did not explain in any way whatsoever — she generally said nothing. Meanwhile, the news about the "recycling" has become one of the "top" in the American press.
But if you remember that Bill’s wife is thinking about participating in the 2016 presidential election of the year, then everything becomes clear. Popularity at any cost! Otherwise, why would she even talk about the disposal of solid waste? After all, she is a specialist in foreign affairs, as well as on women's rights (for which she is valued at the UN). Solid waste here a little bit sideways ...

In the Sudan area
The American company SSI conducted an interesting survey among fellow citizens. The organizers of the study interviewed more than 2 thousands of people on the subject of whether they believe that the United States must intervene in the internal affairs of Ukraine. As it turned out, most supporters of the war do not know where this country is located.
Sociologists asked research participants to find this country on the map for a start. Successfully coped with this task only every sixth participant in the survey. The rest of the respondents suggested that Ukraine is located somewhere in the region of Finland, Kazakhstan, Portugal or Sudan.
How many have been written and rewritten about American education, as well as about the American outlook! .. If many schoolchildren in the United States do not realize that more - Los Angeles or the United States, and George W. Bush, who sent an army to Iraq, did not know where this very Iraq is located (but he was sure that God commanded him to attack him), then what about Ukraine? We would not be surprised if it turns out that the American president does not know where she is.
Are there kangaroos in Kiev, Mr. Obama?

No, all the same what sorry i.dioty! I don’t know how to call people, who ruined their own country with their own hands for some 4 months, and still don’t understand anything. In pursuit of the EU phantom, they will give up their arms and legs, they will give up everything, just please, “let the EU stand” stand a little, eat crumbs from the “master's table”, hoping that sometime the cherished “door” will open before them. Formerly, the USSR also fled after the phantom "democrats" and the "civilized world", giving everything, the GDR, the police department, to the Baltic states, just to stand on the threshold of the "civilized world", from where it was kicked in the dirt in 1991. So it will be with Ukraine, which, like an enchanted fish, swims into the light of a killer fish.

Russia's airborne troops for the first time in stories successfully landed with the help of parachutes on the drifting ice of the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole, said a spokesman for the Airborne Forces Lt. Col. Yevgeny Meshkov on Tuesday.
He clarified that the personnel do not have any regular weapons with them, except for knives and hunting rifles received at the polar station for protection against wild animals.
The temperature at the height from which the landing was done was almost -70 centigrade. The air temperature at the surface is about minus thirty. Almost zero visibility, strong gusts of wind. In such conditions, perhaps, only the Russian "blue berets" could have landed. And they did! Successfully fired! And then there is still a multi-kilometer march on skis and snowshoes with a load on the back with the guidance of an improvised crossing in places with relatively thin ice by the polar standards.
Western “partners” have only one phrase: the temperature overboard is minus 94 Fahrenheit (this is -70 degrees Celsius) before their eyes the whole life, I suppose, runs through ... And if someone from the heat-loving Western military personnel were announced that that they are also going to parachute him at such an air temperature in the North Pole region, then the soldier would definitely write a report and, in addition, complain to the human rights society ... Still - Coca-Cola freezes, the game console does not "function", on on iPhones, the “application” hangs with a half-centimeter frost coating, Drones become easy prey for eiderdown flocks...

The impolite people
A resident of Donetsk posted in social networks a photograph of a group of military who stood next to the local military registration and enlistment office. The fighters, armed with machine guns and light machine guns, spoke English. The form was clearly not Ukrainian.
Earlier, the coordinator of the united organization of activists in Donetsk, Self-Defense of Donbass, told reporters that a plane with two hundred foreign servicemen got into Donetsk. According to him, the legionnaires "do not speak either Russian or Ukrainian."
According to an eyewitness, the Donetsk team determined that the “guests” came to them after one of the men in the uniform was asked “what time was it?” The interlocutor muttered something unintelligible and quickly got on the bus, followed by the others, one of whom dropped the bag and, raising it, said a few expletives not in Ukrainian, or even in Russian.
The lawyers of the Ukrainian army, denying the presence of foreign PMCs (private military companies) in the Square, immediately declared that, supposedly, from some kind of fright, the military had to answer the civilian question about time, and why the average Ukrainian soldier could not afford swear in English.
And, yes, yes, yes ... Talking with civilians about time is a military secret - once. Cursing in English is a trend for a modern Ukrainian army - two. Then everything fits ...
Here are just "face muzzle" do not converge. Well, not Ternopil, not Sumy, and not even Kiev, they, judging by the frames, which are a dime a dozen in social networks and judging by the testimony of eyewitnesses themselves. But one does not need to be certified specialists in ethnography to distinguish our average Slavic brother from a representative of the “progressive” Western world, even if the first one has mastered the poor English-language dictionary of “mathematical” phraseological units well.

In general, according to generally accepted standards, citizens of states that are not in a state of war with a given country, but conducting hostilities in it, are considered mercenaries. They are not subject to the laws of war. Previously, they were shot on the spot, although from the point of view of the information war, it would be better to catch a few alive - a frank admission of such a comrade shown on TV would be a strong argument.

Unsatisfied "Fahrion in a Skirt" ...
The deputy of the nationalist party Svoboda, Irina Fahrion, said that the “creatures” who take part in protest actions in the south-east of Ukraine “deserve only one thing - death”.
Farion? This is not the same Fahrion, who was an exemplary Komsomol from 1978, from 1987, an exemplary communist with claims of activity (no joke is the only student who is a member of the CPSU in the whole department of Ivan Franko Lviv State University). And isn't this Fahrion, who for years 20 tried to lie to her own compatriots, declaring that she had nothing to do with either the VLKSM or the CPSU? So she is the one!
Now Fahrion decided to actively participate in "Freedom". She, it seems, doesn’t care where to belong. For the membership of it is rushing!
There is an opinion that if “Freedom” suddenly collapses tomorrow, Fahrion will quickly orient and join another political force, beginning to replicate statements that all the “Svobodov” words she uttered were uttered under threats of violence from the side of…
And maybe the whole thing is that Fahrion is in the status of "razvedenki"? So the feminine feminine fantasies poured into the political mainstream ...

Saakashvili traced on Independence
The General of the Georgian Army, the former commander of the Avaza battalion Tristan Tsitelashvili, made a sensational statement. He claims that the snipers who shot at people on the Kiev Maidan were former subordinates of the ex-president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili.
General Tsitelashvili:
I know the personalities of the four people who were there as snipers. But, proceeding from the interests of the investigation, I cannot name them. Investigation materials in two weeks will be sent to the prosecutor's office. I can only say that these people are former employees of the security structure controlled by Saakashvili. The former government trained them specifically for such cases. Their group in Kiev was led by Givi Targamadze and Gia Baramidze.
Well, it’s not for nothing that the Georgian tie-uphill, now mastering the vastness of the United States of America, was so eager to come out before the Maidan, calling for a fight with all forces and means against the main enemy (who is this enemy in Saakashvili’s feverish imagination? - we guess). The funds, as is known, are mostly overseas, but Saakashvili’s forces decided to provide, including their own, in the form of home-grown killer-provocateurs, who, apparently, have not yet managed to grab a soft spot in Georgia itself.
But, as they say, everything secret sooner or later becomes clear, and even more so when it comes to such a gentleman as the ex-president of Georgia. This time he also “slept” - apparently, the directors cannot teach him how to work without leaving traces - he will definitely have to light up somewhere ...
By the way, after Saakashvili settled in the United States, the Americans began to recount the number of their states daily, referring to the “reference” number of stars on the national flag - you never know ...

State border
In Crimea, the formation of the staff structure of the Office of the Frontier Service of the FSB of Russia began.
The staff of the Department will include both employees from different regions of Russia, and those who previously served in the border service of Ukraine, but decided to stay in Crimea. According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, more than 70 percent of Ukrainian border guards and almost 90 percent of those who served in the SBU expressed a desire to remain in the service in the Crimea.
One of the incidents that occurred on the Crimean part of the Russian-Ukrainian border the other day is an incident with representatives of the OSCE mission, which (the mission) is working in Ukraine these days. The “missionaries” tried to appear on the territory of the Republic of Crimea, explaining to the border guards that they had a mandate to monitor the Ukrainian situation. Then, for the gentlemen from the OSCE, the border guards had to conduct a lesson in modern geography, explaining that Ukraine is that the mission’s representatives are from the rear now, and that the front is Russia. "Missionaries" flared up. Like, how it is! - Here are our cards! Here is our mandate! Crimea, Ukraine! To which the Russian border guards politely replied that they could now use their cards except for hygienic purposes, like mandates in fact ...
At this very time, Kiev “offers” JSC Russian Railways, as well as Belarusian Railways, from 27 in May of this year, to refuse to sell tickets to the territory of Ukraine, for quotation: there was a mismatch of train schedules in the Crimean direction. What prevents to agree - naturally, they did not specify ...
Meanwhile, the statistics is that 14 Russian, 3 Belarusian and 25 Ukrainian trains (not counting several Moldovan and Azerbaijani trains) have traveled between Russia and Ukraine to this day. That is, it turns out that here, the Kiev self-proclaimed power rises on the throat of its own people - each year more than 5,5 million Ukrainian citizens use the railway services to travel to Russia, bringing billions of hryvnias to the treasury of Ukraine ... I wonder what Ukrzaliznytsia will undertake, if the Railways refuse such "offers"? - Explosions? .. Grips? .. Boarding? ..

The five deputies of the State Duma call on the Prosecutor General’s Office, using all the documents at their disposal, to recognize the actions of the Soviet authorities in 1990-1991 as criminal, linked with overt state separatism.
Among the points of inquiry are the verification of the legitimacy of the decisions adopted by the so-called USSR State Council on recognizing the independence of the Baltic republics, the unaccounted opinion of Soviet citizens expressed during the referendum in 1991 year.
Deputies propose to bring Gorbachev to justice for his actions as leader of the state, which (actions) led to the collapse of the country, bloodshed, chaos, manifesting itself in certain territories of the former USSR today.
Gorbachev did not become silent (apparently, he was struck alive) and offered to judge the Supreme Council, which made the decision to terminate the existence of such a state as the Soviet Union. In addition, the first and last president of the USSR proposed to dissolve the current State Duma, however, after some time people close to Gorbachev said that he did not say that. Many believed ... As they believed, Mikhail Sergeyevich didn’t have anything to do with the collapse of the USSR ...

Counting bulletins
5 April presidential elections in Afghanistan. More than seven million people arrived at the polling stations who wished to vote for candidates (in total, 12 million people have the right to vote in the country). The turnout was a little less than sixty percent, which for a country of poppy plantations, intimidated by Taliban terrorists, is an impressive result. In the elections, according to the site “Afganistan.ru”, the militants conducted 690 attacks on polling stations. Attacks on the polling stations - up to rocket attacks - became a serious obstacle to the elections: several hundred polling stations were closed. However, the majority of the polling stations worked, and the voting was considered valid. Now it's up to the vote count.
As transmits "Afghanistan.ru" With reference to the Ariana TV channel, more than seven million people in Afghanistan voted in the presidential election. Voter turnout was 58%. Among voters, 35% were women (double the number compared to 2009 of the year). For security reasons, the 211 polling stations had to be closed, but the 6212 polling stations continued to operate.
As for the timing of counting ballots, then, as you can learn from the latest News, the electoral commission of Afghanistan said that the results of the vote will be known no earlier than April 24.
It should also be noted that President Karzai supports candidate Zalmay Rasul. In 2002, Rasul was briefly Minister of Civil aviation, and then became an adviser to the president of Afghanistan on security issues. From January 2010 to October 2013 served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan. For twelve years, Rasul accompanied Karzai on many important trips.

Photos for Kim
In two weeks, the South Korean authorities discovered three unmanned aerial vehicles on their territory, which, as Seoul believes, were sent from the territory of the DPRK. UAVs crashed in South Korea. Two aircraft were able to photograph a number of military facilities and the residence of the President of South Korea. In the South, they are already talking about "significant breaches in the air defense of the country."
Now the South Korean military intends to increase air defense forces, simultaneously forcing the creation of their own UAVs to monitor the DPRK.
Here is what is interesting. If three UAVs were discovered, and all of them fell as a result of accidents related to technical malfunctions, how many drones did Kim launch? How many objects were photographed? It turns out that the young North Korean leader outwitted the southerners, who are firmly friends with the USA and are prone to treat the amateur machinery from Comrade Kim with some contempt!

Latvia launched the international military exercises Operation Summer Shield XI. More than 600 soldiers from Latvia, Estonia and the USA take part in the training. The task of the exercise is to work out fire support in the onset of infantry troops.
The host country declared training for its soldiers as part of 350 exercises. Among them are infantry, representatives of the mortar, anti-tank, reconnaissance, engineering units and units of air support controllers, as well as a group of sappers.
The training will take place in two stages: theoretical and practical training will take place from 7 to 11 on April, and tactical tasks and combat firing with the participation of the Mi-12 helicopter and the Estonian Air Force L-16 at the Adazi military training ground will be held from 17 to 39 in April. This site is located near the Gulf of Riga, about 20 km from Riga and less than 300 km from the Russian border.
It is necessary to remind the readers: these teachings are next, eleventh, and they have nothing to do with the so-called “Crimean crisis” and “annexation” of Crimea by Russia, about which much is written in the European and American press and speak at all sorts of summits. Nevertheless, the image of the enemy when “working off tactical tasks” for NATO allies emerges more distinctly, and Russia cannot be forgotten about this.

Split Assembly
The head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Alexei Pushkov, made a statement on the situation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. PACE deprived the Russian delegation of the right to vote until the end of the year and excluded it from all the governing bodies in connection with the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
The amendment reads: “... in order to express its condemnation and disapproval of the actions of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine, the Assembly decides to suspend the following rights of the delegation of the Russian Federation until the end of the 2014 session: right to vote; the right to be represented in the Bureau of the Assembly, the Presidential Committee, the Standing Committee; the right to participate in election observation missions. ”
92 voted in favor of the amendment, 74 was against and 19 abstained.
The Russian delegation leaves the April session of the PACE ahead of schedule in protest against the substantial limitation of its powers in the Assembly and reserves the right to consider the question of further participation in the organization’s activities, said Alexey Pushkov, the head of the delegation.
“We will not take part in the further work of the session. Now we are leaving this session in protest and reserve the right to consider the question of Russia's further participation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, ”Pushkov said at a briefing on Thursday.
Alexey Pushkov also stated that the Assembly had betrayed its own principles: human rights and the rule of law.
Russia will take the decision to stay in PACE in the next two to three weeks, the head of the Russian delegation told reporters.
It can be stated: the Crimean question split the PACE. Further, the contradictions in the Assembly will only increase. There will be supporters of Russia and there will be opponents.
After the "annexation" of the Crimea, about which Western politicians do not get tired of shouting, the United States and Europe led the world to a new cold war. Both PACE and the UN, and even more so NATO, are convenient platforms for sermons directed against the “aggressor”.

I quietly crawl under the table, reading the PACE resolution:
“... 3. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine played an important and constructive role in resolving the crisis when, joining forces and reaching consensus, she was able to change power and ensure the implementation of the basic 21 agreements of February of 2014 of the year. They were executed in accordance with the general line of this treaty and constitutional principles. Therefore, the Assembly fully recognizes the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian authorities and the legitimacy of their decisions. She regrets any attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the new authorities, which can only lead to the destabilization of the state.
...
16. The so-called referendum, which was organized in Crimea on March 16, 2014, is unconstitutional under the constitutions of the Crimea and Ukraine. In addition, reports of the appearance and its results are implausible. The outcome of this referendum and the illegal annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, therefore, have no legal force and are not recognized by the Council of Europe. The Assembly reaffirms its strong support for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. In connection with the denunciation by the Russian Federation of agreements concluded with Ukraine in 1997 on the deployment of the Black Sea fleet in Crimea, the Assembly calls on Russia to withdraw its troops from Crimea immediately. ”

Frau Merkel, don't listen to grandpa
On the portal "NewsBalt" A translation of the “Grandpa Kurt” column (Opa Kurt) published in the online Rostock Magazine. This "grandfather" writes about what he wants, and so far no one has decided to edit his texts. This time, in his column, Kurt criticized the West, told the readers about the good Putin, and shared with Frau Merkel his plans for ... the return of the city of Konigsberg to Germany.
“Occupy Konigsberg!” He advises Angela Merkel.
“I think Putin will understand best of all what he does in Ukraine if he does the same. If I were a German chancellor, I would have occupied the enclave Konigsberg. ”
"Grandfather" appeals to international law:
“And international law would be on my side! According to international law, it is forbidden to hold territories conquered during hostilities! I would have filled up Russians in Konigsberg with propaganda literature praising the charms of the German social state, I would allow Russian as the official language, and I would say to skeptics in Germany: “Koenigsberg is an ancient German land!”
The "grandfather" is on the ready and strong point. Russia can not answer! How do you attack a country that is a member of the formidable NATO bloc?
“After all, we are in NATO! Otherwise, the union contract will enter into force! And Putin will deal with all of NATO! ”
"Grandpa" insists:
“… Occupy Koenigsberg! I am ready to be with you! And I even know there are a couple of places where you can eat well. ”
One of them was forgotten or deliberately silent about the famous Rostock satirist. About the most important thing. A referendum was held on the Crimea peninsula, and almost all residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea who wished to vote reunited with Russia. Here are two questions submitted for the plebiscite: “Are you for the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation?” And “Are you for restoring the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea 1992 of the year and for the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine?” 96,77% referendum participants.
The path of "Kurt's grandfather" is completely different and is based on the call "Occupy Koenigsberg!" But did Putin occupy the Crimea? The obvious juggling. The German reader must unwittingly swallow a slipped roast fact. Occupy is a favorite occupation of Western warriors. Americans. And the Germans, if grandfather knows, have unleashed two world wars in the past century.
And how you like it: “I would have filled up Russians in Königsberg with propaganda literature praising the charm of the German social state ...”? Kurt knows perfectly well that Moscow not only did not fill the Crimea with any propaganda, but even in a certain sense was the opposite: Ukraine blocked Russian TV channels (Channel One. World Wide Web, RTR-Planeta, Russia-24 and NTV Mir "). But pro-Western broadcasting in Ukraine was abundant. And now it has not gone anywhere.
The German "grandfather" is well aware that in his case, propaganda will be required. He understands that “Konigsberg” will not go to Germany for good. How many Germans can be found there? .. Not even half a percent will be typed. Hence, the imperative ("Occupy"), and the intimidation of NATO.
And the columnist himself admits that Crimea is predominantly populated by Russians.
It is strange that another “grandfather”, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, has not yet joined satirist Kurt. Give the Germans Kaliningrad on the Ural Mountains! Wind of change, yes, western villains?

The medicine against fear
Former Secretary of Defense and Former CIA Director Robert Gates recently published in the Opinion column. "The Wall Street Journal" a rather long article entitled “Putin's Challenge to the West” (“Putin’s Challenge to the West”). In it, he argues that Russia will "challenge" not only the Crimea or even all of Ukraine, but will go further. Why so? And because Putin, it turns out, “has long been offended” by the West, which broke the USSR.
Gates writes that Putin has “a completely different view of the world than the leaders of Europe and the USA.” The Russian leader "does not share the respectful attitude of Western leaders to international law, to the inviolability of borders, which, according to Western opinion, can change only in the process of negotiations, due process and under the rule of law."
According to Gates, Putin is indifferent to "human and political rights." If the West is based on the principle of mutually beneficial relations between nations, then for Mr. Putin, Robert Gates notes, every deal promises a loss to someone. On the one hand, the advantage, therefore, the other must lose. According to Putin, the acquisition, preservation and accumulation of power - this is the essence and meaning of the game. So thinks the former US Secretary of Defense.
How can the West confront such a man? It turns out that there are ways.
The West must enter into a long strategic game that Putin is playing on the periphery of Russia, Gates writes. Through Western influences, Russians should learn that Putin’s world view and goals will significantly weaken and isolate Russia.
Gates also offers practical tools for influencing Moscow. In his opinion, it is necessary to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas supplies. In addition, Russia should impose "really" serious economic sanctions. Finally, NATO allies on the border with Russia should be strengthened militarily.
Further, the former head of the Pentagon proposes to reduce Western investment in Russia. He also speaks not only against Russia's participation in the G-8, but also for excluding it from other international forums (“involving respect and legitimacy”).
Well, of course, ex-Secretary of Defense reminds President Obama that the US defense budget should be restored to the level proposed for 2014 by the Obama administration a year ago. We can not allow a sharp reduction in defense spending.
"The aggressive and arrogant actions of Vladimir Putin," concludes R. Gates, demand from Western leaders "strategic thinking, bold leadership, and steel determination - immediately."
It seems to add as a commentary, a manifestation of “strategic thinking” among Western leaders would be a desire to abandon the new cold war and the military confrontation, which in fact one way or another R. Gates preaches. From 2006 to 2011 years, this man was not the kitchen, but the Pentagon. And his recommendations to strangle Russia with sanctions, which supposedly intends to seize not only Ukraine, but also something else (not named), very much resemble a clear desire to unleash a new cold war. And the councils to strengthen the allies of the United States in NATO militarily and to cancel the planned cuts in the US defense budget are nothing but an obvious message to the new arms race. And behind this race, as you know, the ominous ghost of military confrontation always looms, which Mr. Gates allegedly does not want ...

Experienced politician. He knows what he is talking about. He and Putin are very much alike in something. If he says something, then you need to listen. In the wind of words does not throw.
Another thing is that he is not in power now and, moreover, he is “slightly” offended by the current leadership of the United States.

Hillary Clinton and boot recycling
Hillary Clinton, who gave a lecture in Las Vegas, was not waiting for a warm reception. She went on stage, and a shoe flew out of the hall into it.
The meeting was held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and was devoted to the recycling of industrial waste. About a thousand people came to listen to Clinton.
Shoes threw a woman who did not appear on the list of invitees. Clinton managed to dodge and said: “God, I didn’t know that recycling solid waste is such a provocative topic.”
The guards tied up the culprit of the incident and brought out of the hall, now she is in custody.
It is curious that the one who threw the shoe did not explain in any way whatsoever — she generally said nothing. Meanwhile, the news about the "recycling" has become one of the "top" in the American press.
But if you remember that Bill’s wife is thinking about participating in the 2016 presidential election of the year, then everything becomes clear. Popularity at any cost! Otherwise, why would she even talk about the disposal of solid waste? After all, she is a specialist in foreign affairs, as well as on women's rights (for which she is valued at the UN). Solid waste here a little bit sideways ...

In the Sudan area
The American company SSI conducted an interesting survey among fellow citizens. The organizers of the study interviewed more than 2 thousands of people on the subject of whether they believe that the United States must intervene in the internal affairs of Ukraine. As it turned out, most supporters of the war do not know where this country is located.
Sociologists asked research participants to find this country on the map for a start. Successfully coped with this task only every sixth participant in the survey. The rest of the respondents suggested that Ukraine is located somewhere in the region of Finland, Kazakhstan, Portugal or Sudan.
How many have been written and rewritten about American education, as well as about the American outlook! .. If many schoolchildren in the United States do not realize that more - Los Angeles or the United States, and George W. Bush, who sent an army to Iraq, did not know where this very Iraq is located (but he was sure that God commanded him to attack him), then what about Ukraine? We would not be surprised if it turns out that the American president does not know where she is.

Where is Ukraine on the map,

Without it, they are in trouble!
You guys are democrats
Stupefied! You can not do it this way!
Black Sea and Azov
She is washed!

Well, so you confuse them at all! Let them begin to get used to the fact that Ukraine is a dwarf state somewhere in ... the opera of Europe, with its capital in Lviv and not having access to the seas! Like Slovakia or Slovenia, or Macedonia ... In general, ask Bush, someone told him about it!
