26 March 2014 — Strategic Culture Foundation

The newly installed regime in Kiev does not control the situation neither in the country, nor in the capital. At the beginning of March the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ukraine Security Service declared an amnesty for those who give in illegally held arms. The deadline was March 21, the plans failed. Even according to distorted official data, 638 pistols, 43 Kalashnikov automatic rifles and 6 handguns are missing. The issue is acute because Maidan is seen as a growing threat to the junta, pretty soon it is going to be swept and cleaned up.

Coup in Ukraine: A warning to the international working class By Peter Schwarz

25 February 2014 — WSWS

The recent events in Ukraine are a warning to the international working class. Under conditions in which workers lack both a perspective and a party to enable them to intervene independently in political events, the situation in Ukraine has developed in an extremely reactionary direction.

Ukraine: sick fascist filth and gangland violence as political opposition – Rick Rozoff

Audio

With the release of a recent conversation between the US ambassador to Ukraine and Victoria Nuland plotting the downfall of the current legitimate elected government in Kiev, it is clear who is behind the attempted coup in Ukraine. US backed “activists” with sniper rifles and hand guns are openly firing on police something that would not be tolerated anywhere in the world but which is being portrayed by western leaders as being legitimate opposition protest behavior. However such cold-blooded murder would lead to brains being swept off the street in their cities. According to Voice of Russia regular Rick Rozoff, who spoke on these issues, what we are color revolution techniques in action and the western media is playing along as a propaganda tool for those behind the scenes.

31 January 2014 — Strategic Culture Foundation

Make no mistake about it, Ukraine’s troubles, engineered from outside of the country by the usual troika of the European Union «securocrats» who are beholden to the interests of the United States and NATO, George Soros-funded and U.S. non-governmental organization-trained street and social media provocateurs, and the Central Intelligence Agency and its diplomat-spies, is a template for what the West has planned for Russia…

Media Disinformation: What’s Really Going On in Ukraine? By Andy Dilks

28 January 2014 — Global Research

You’d be forgiven for knowing very little about the unrest in Ukraine – the violence, the rioting on the streets, the armed protesters storming government buildings amidst plumes of thick black smoke rising from makeshift barricades. Most of the public have once again been Beibered by the mainstream media – the arrest of this precocious, spoilt physical embodiment of crass corporate culture proving newsworthy enough for an MSNBC host to interrupt an interview with a member of Congress discussing the true scale of NSA spying.
