The episode that surfaced last week looks like some kind of ridiculous phantasmagoria, but it seems that this is a commonplace for the Ukrainian state. So, this is the “Russian Radio - Ukraine”, already in the title of which accents of Ukrainian cultural diversity are placed, managed to take part in the action aimed at the genocide of the Russian people in the Donbas. How? Yes, in Ukrainian is simple: on 10% of the funds obtained for the publication of advertising in the period from 25 in May to 25 in June of 2014, RRU organized the purchase of military equipment for punitive units of the National Guard involved in the so-called "anti-terrorist operation" in the south-eastern regions. We collected about 250 thousand hryvnia (720 thousand rubles at the current exchange rate) and purchased the body armor, other personal protective equipment, masks, military shoes and uniforms for the National Guard under these funds.
What is phantasmagoria? Yes, the fact that RUSSIAN radio of Ukraine finances armed formations that are essentially outlawed in order for these troops to destroy the Russian-speaking population of the southeast. At the same time, on the RRU website there is a banner familiar to ukroSMI, in which in two languages (Russian and Ukrainian) it reads: “One Country” ...
The money went not to help the refugees, not to restore the destroyed infrastructure, not to organize the recreation of children who see the war in its most unattractive form when compatriots destroy their compatriots. The money went to sponsor bloodshed, a fire of contention and chaos. It is noteworthy that military equipment was sent to the punishers precisely when Petro Poroshenko announced a truce.
The action did not go unnoticed. One of those organizations that paid close attention to such a “spiritual impulse” of “RRU” was the organization “Cyberkurbut”, which decided to launch an attack on the site of “Russian Radio Ukraine”. On his Facebook page, Cyberkut published the following information:
Appeal to the media staff of Ukraine.
Journalists from the Ukrainian branch of Russian Radio purchased and organized the transfer of military equipment to a unit of the National Guard, which is planned to be sent in the near future to participate in the punitive operation in Eastern Ukraine.
In order to protest against the obvious support by representatives of the national media community of the “anti-terrorist operation” against their own people, a cyberberkut is conducting a DDOS attack on the website www.rusradio.ua
We appeal to the media workers of Ukraine with the call "Stop lying to your people." The degree of untruth about the situation in the country exceeded all conceivable and inconceivable criteria. The lie falls on people from the screens of Ukrainian TV and radio, print media and national Internet resources. Those journalists who are trying to bring at least a bit of truth to the Ukrainians, at best, immediately lose their jobs, and often end up in the SBU. Even in the United States, which, taking into account their geopolitical interests, are hosted in Ukraine, are already recognized about the flow of lies in the Ukrainian media.
Think, you, the Ukrainians journalists, are deceiving your people. Due to the nature of your work, you know the truth, but you're lying to please the oligarchs and fascists who have broken through to power (thanks to your lies) and are working according to the instructions they have compiled. You lie about the economic situation in Ukraine, you cover the war crimes of the authorities and the right sector in the South-East, you are helping our ruler oligarchs to sell Ukraine to the Americans. But all the same, black will turn white, and the people will curse you for this lie! You are directly responsible for the current situation in Ukraine with your oligarchs.
If you have a little bit of conscience left, if you still remember the journalists' code of honor, if you don’t like what the Ukrainian media calls corrupt, say no to a lie and tell Ukraine the TRUTH.

After the information that "Russian Radio - Ukraine" actually sponsors ethnic cleansing in the Donetsk region and Luhansk region, website for the publication of petitions there was an appeal to ban radio stations sponsoring the punitive detachments to use the term "Russian" in their name:
Dear residents of Russia!
This radio by its actions contributes to the development of fascism in / in Ukraine.
Just the other day, Kapustin, Fedotov, Dovlatov, and the director of a radio station in / in Ukraine, Sergey Kuzin, visited the Desna training center in Chernihiv region and brought a military bus with military uniforms, body armor, shoes, medicines and other necessary things to the Ukrainian military. .
From 25 May through to 25 June, the “Russian Radio Ukraine” campaign was held “Zakhisti Armiya - Won thee”. Under the terms of the project, each 10 hryvnia earned on the sale of advertising during the month was aimed at purchasing necessary items for the Ukrainian military, which are sent to hot spots in the east of the country. During the rally, about a quarter of a million hryvnia was collected.
I believe that this radio does not have the right to be called Russian, and I ask them to deprive the use of this word in any form.

This petition and other angry responses from residents of Russia, Ukraine and other countries have led to the need to be explained to the main office of Russian Radio in Moscow. Online "Russian Radio" (the one in Russia) appeared a note (the text of the original source is provided without any changes):
RUSSIAN RADIO - EURASIA RUSSIAN RADIO STATION CONGRATHERS THE "RUSSIAN RADIO - UKRAINE" ACTIVITY FOR THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL ARMY FOR THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL ARMY!
We resolutely declare that we do not have the slightest relation to the radio station "Russian Radio - Ukraine" and consider its act to be an action aimed at discrediting the Russian "Russian Radio".
Until today, our radio station has supplied exclusively to the Russian Radio - Ukraine musical material. However, in view of the blatant actions of the station-namesake, aimed at inciting conflict on the territory of Ukraine, entailing a humanitarian catastrophe, WE DECIDED TO COMPLETELY TERMINATE ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH RADIO “RUSSIAN RADIO - UKRAINE”!

Speaking about the action "RRU" and program director of "Russian Radio" Roman Emelyanov:
We are not able to influence in the wider sphere, because Ukrainian “Russian Radio” is a completely independent media. We have nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the Russian Radio brand in the field of broadcasting is protected only in Russia, and in the rest of the world this is recognized by generally accepted words, and anyone can create Russian Radio at any time and carry out any actions under its auspices.
The action “RRU”, as well as the comments of UkroSMI, in which this action found wide support, indicate that Ukraine has finally become obsolete as a state. To sponsor those who go to the destruction of their own compatriots under the slogan "one country" is not even the Middle Ages. This is cynicism raised to the maximum degree. At a time when hundreds of thousands of residents of the southeast turned into refugees (forced migrants), when some children are dying, others remain orphans, when settlements are simply wiped off the earth, when a humanitarian disaster spreads to new and new territories, ukroSMI (or “UkurSMI) finance terror and with smiles pose in front of the camera on the background of military equipment and among the thugs with weapons.
Democracy triumphs ...
