Ukrainian President Yanukovych calls Crimea developments ‘tragedy’

World April 02, 18:06 UTC+4

“I would have tried to prevent it if I was there,” Yanukovych says

MOSCOW, April 02. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych said on Wednesday that Crimea’s secession from Ukraine was “a tragedy” and he personally cannot agree with the republic’s merger with Russia.

“I would have tried to prevent it if I was there,” Yanukovych said in an interview with The Associated Press and Russia’s NTV television channel.

The 63-year-old president called the recent developments in Crimea “a pain and a tragedy, which will be very hard to accept.”

Ukraine is in political turmoil. Violent anti-government protests, which started last November, when the country suspended the signing of an association agreement with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Russia, resulted in a coup this February.

President Yanukovych had to leave Ukraine in February citing security concerns and new people were brought to power amid violent riots. Russia does not recognize the new Ukrainian authorities.

So, what do you who always claim Russia is barbaric, won't tolerate dissent, has killed Yanukovych, etc., think about Russia letting him, on their own territory, in a press conference, after saving his life, make these statements about Crimea?

How I hate to hear Yanukovych bleating, when he and his Inner circle have been destroying Ukraine by outright theft. They stripped the country of cash. Just look at his estate. And he had several. His sons wealth went up by 7000% in 2 years.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54622593

Yes, he was corrupt crook.

But do you know what is Yatsenyuk's wealth? I know he owns a big mansion close to where Yanukovych used to live, does he pay for this with his $13,000/year income?

Do you know the size of Yatsenyuk's bank accounts?

Or Tymoshenko's? You know , the current government dropped all charges against her for tax evasion. Since she only claimed income of some $10,000 per year, how did she get so rich and not pay taxes? How much do you think her clothes and jewelry cost? And her own huge mansion? And cars? And her daughter's luxurious lifestyle in London?

No, he is a former leader, now he is the most radical of the bunch so "West" press is constantly interviewing him. He has already made numerous "blood" pronouncements and demanded NATO invade Crimea. He is a nutter.

Lutsenko proposes to ban the Communist Party leaders of the Party of Regions and hold high positions in Ukraine

The leader of the public movement "Third Ukrainian Republic" Yuriy Lutsenko proposes to ban members of the leadership of the Party of Regions and the Communist Party of Ukraine to hold high positions in the country.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, it Lutsenko said at the round table under the "East + West", initiated by the information agency UNIAN UNIAN TV channel TV and TSN news channel "1 +1".

He said you have to muster the courage to take a political decision on lustration of political forces whose actions, including the adoption of laws during 16 January, led to casualties.

"Before the dissolution of Parliament must summon the political responsibility to pass a portion of inner purification, catharsis and say there is lustration, namely a ban on senior positions in elected bodies and government and business leaders of all parties, faction leaders, heads of government Party of Regions and the Communists, who brought the country to the brink of national disaster, "- he said, noting that this does not apply to members of these parties regional, district and rural levels.

[link to www.unian.ua]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49003554

Perfect - ban the two largest parties from the Russian-speaking areas. That will prove Russia's concerns wrong!

Where is EU's condemnation? Wonder if EU would react more quickly or forcefully if Crimea moved to ban Tatar political parties?

Wow I guess shills don't have a sense of humor
 Quoting: RBR


I have a great sense of humor and I have agreed with lots of your posts in the past.

I am pointing out the ridicule that is happening on all fronts, character assassination of Putin as well as demonizing Russia. In that case I can't laugh about it, I''m sure you have seen the propaganda on this thread long enough to know what I mean. I also don't like women being reduced in this way. This has nothing to do with politics.

After reading parts of this article and having deja vu, I decided before going further and wasting my time to check out the "Author" tab. I recommend that one more than his although rather well thought out article but lacking substantial evidence. I study things hard facts, words coming out of the people's own mouth not what media spins as well as their actions. On a global and geopolitical sphere this analysis as well as current propaganda coming out of the Corporations from NATO/EU/US and IMF falls on deaf ears for me personally.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37539282

It serves to show they lack imagination after a certain level of deception. I'm going to assume that they will be the last to see that fact. Full steam ahead isn't always the best move when the situation changes with time, short periods of time. IE, did Russian find out you can't spend yourself into fame and fortune and the 2nd time around you just automatically correct the mistakes that would lead to a repeat of the previous fall.

Little Johnny doesn't know what a skinned knee is until he falls off his first bicycle. After that he makes a conscious effort not to fall.

If it costs $6 to print $100 then $94 should be in circulation for eternity, to be spent on various high dollar projects, some are more useful than others as time will show.

What happens to the Ukraine if the New Govt. gets riots if they accept the IMF bailout package?

"That ought to make Putin even more pissed off than that shit I said about the referendum that didn't happen in Kosovo..."

"In fact, you tell those NATO sons of bitches to lie about every fucking thing!"

Sun_dancer, it seems pretty fucking stupid to me if Russia didn't have any extra troops stationed on the border. Look at the propoganda towards Russia and the Nato buildup. If you think the west is so bad and Russia is in the right, why the fuck wouldn't Russia move troops to the border as a warning to the west not to fuck with it and not to overthrow its neighbors? IMO, whatever side you are on (West or Russia) this troop buildup is legit and might even be justified given everything happening around Russia. I don't understand why the fuck you keep talking about invisible troops. Even Putin admits there are troops stationed on the border and in a sign of de-escalation, he removed one brigade. Stop with the unneeded confusion on this thread already filled with fucknuts and shills.

NASA suspends work with Russia over involvement in Ukraine - @verge

April 2, 2014 02:03 pm

Citing Russia’s ongoing violations of Ukraine’s sovereign and territorial integrity, NASA announced today that it is suspending all contact with Russian government representatives. In an internal NASA memorandum obtained by The Verge, NASA said that the suspension includes travel to Russia, teleconferences, and visits by Russian government officials to NASA facilities. NASA is even suspending the exchange of emails with Russian officials.

Ongoing International Space Station activities are exempt from this suspension, however, as are meetings with other countries held outside of Russia that include the participation of Russian officials.

But the NATO commander, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, said in an interview with The New York Times that so far only a single battalion, a force of 400 to 500 troops, is on the move and that NATO intelligence could not say whether it was actually being withdrawn.

“What we can say now is that we do see a battalion size unit moving, but what we can’t confirm is that it is leaving the battlefield,” General Breedlove, of the United States Air Force, said. “Whether that movement is aft to a less belligerent configuration or returning to barracks, we do not see that.”

Undoubtedly they are moving to buy Yellowcake from Nigeria, speed development of "Saddam's" mobile bio-weapon labs, hand some of "Saddam's" nukes to alQaeda, and re-inforce the Iraqi troops massed on Saudi Arabia's border, poised for invasion (for which there is, claimed, satellite evidence!).

I was once like you, I used to believe government propaganda. But after 1,000 proven lies, I stopped.

I guess that means the International Space Station should be renamed the "Russian Space Station" since the Russians are the ONLY ones who are capable of sending people there.

The U.S., Canada, Japan and Europe have paid their fair share to build the Station and send supplies to the astronauts.

It is true that the Russians are now the only country capable of sending humans to the Station and to Space.

Could be another two or three years or longer until private companies such as Space X, or NASA are capable of sending humans to Space.

Wait and see.
I came. I saw. I Concorde.

NASA suspends work with Russia over involvement in Ukraine - @verge

April 2, 2014 02:03 pm

Citing Russia’s ongoing violations of Ukraine’s sovereign and territorial integrity, NASA announced today that it is suspending all contact with Russian government representatives. In an internal NASA memorandum obtained by The Verge, NASA said that the suspension includes travel to Russia, teleconferences, and visits by Russian government officials to NASA facilities. NASA is even suspending the exchange of emails with Russian officials.

Ongoing International Space Station activities are exempt from this suspension, however, as are meetings with other countries held outside of Russia that include the participation of Russian officials.

I've been saying this that the lack of a manned space program makes the US like uh... North Korea... A nuclear armed SECOND WORLD COUNTRY!

But to the average black racist from Chicago, a space program is not necessary... Just bullshit to them.

Obama figures:

"Fucking space program didn't help me get elected. We don't need that shit."
