As we faced the most recent events of killing of Ukrainian soldiers by the nationalist militants – just because the soldiers refused to fire at their people and civilians protesting the new regime, another news was coming.
In the most cynical act of treason against Ukraine, the Sergei Taruta, has offered 5 thousand Hryvnia to be paid daily to any mob hired to fight against the people of Donetsk region. For those who do not know, Mr. Taruta is a key oligarch in Donetsk region, and was incidentally appointed as a governor by the new regime. Now, with his assets at stake, he uses the newly granted powers as a governor to protect his wealth by hiring mob to do the fighting. It is because much of the regular army does not see it possible to solve the debate on power by firing at the opposition.
It is clear that in the interests of the oligarchs, appointed by the regime in Kiev is to save themselves and their assets, not the people. In the wave of continued disinformation in all Ukrainian media , they sound very proud, stating that it is the opposition of Donetsk that is kidnapping and killing, not the hired mob and the nationalists. How pathetic this sounds in the face of the most recent killing of the regular army soldiers refusing to fight against people who simply want to have a chance for a fair representation and a voice in the new Ukraine.
At the same time, the former president of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma said at the round table on the 21st of May: “It will be the end of Donetsk region in a month or less, unless the people understand that everything depends on them, unless the large business also realizes its responsibility before people – the [Donetsk} army by itself will not be enough”
A simple search for ”Poroshenko” on WikiLeaks’ website gives at least 350 documents mentioning his name. But some of the descriptions provided by US diplomats are far from complimentary.
