I can hear sadness in their voices. Small things like this video truly break my heart. Russia really needs guys like them. I keep this hope that when SHTF, these people will be able to move to Russia and to find a second home in Russia.

Число добровольцев в ополчении ДНР превышает возможности по их вооружению – Захарченко
23rd of April, 2015. Donetsk People’s Republic, Novorossiya.
Donetsk People’s Republic has more volunteers than it has weapons to arm them, the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko says.
“At the moment, the number of volunteers is greater than our ability to arm them. People see what happens, they make a realistic assessment of the situation, and they understand that Kiev wants to press forward with war. They want to protect their homeland. In February, the number of volunteers was 110 percent of our goal.”
Volunteers started being mobilized in the DPR on February 9. In mid-March, up to 200 volunteers have been joining the ranks of Donetsk Armed forces every day.

April 23, 2015: Ukraine – Scandals, theft and corruption in the military have reached levels unseen before. Apparatchiks, appointed by the US-NATO occupational government, consider corruption to be unavoidable and necessary evil. Like Oksana Ermishina, the Chairwoman of the Public Committee for Internally Displaced Persons, noted that in a situation of organizational chaos where nothing works as it should, “money talks, and until a clear system of automated procedures exists, corruption will only continue.”

KIEV, April 22. /TASS/. Miners protesting in central Kiev on Wednesday threaten an indefinite strike if their demands are not met, Tass reports from the site.
“Plans are to close the mine, although it is more profitable to buy our coal than African or Russian,” says Eduard, a miner from the Dnepropetrovsk region.
Earlier, a group of protesters got into the presidential administration building for talks. Miners said they had forced their way through with practically no resistance offered by police. “The only thing they asked for was not to break the presidential gate,” one of the miners said.
The miners are resolute to continue the strike until Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Vladimir Demchishin is dismissed and wage arrears are paid off.

Ukraine is often called a European Mexico. It’s an entrance to the well-to-do Europe for people from the Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Palestine, and also from Moldova, Belorussia and Georgia. EU seeking to use readmission agreements to guarantee removal of irregular migrants, sends more and more of unwanted migrants to Ukraine, where people are being kept in jails and death camps.
EU remitted for readmission purposes about 500,000 euro to the Kiev authorities. However, these funds were misappropriated.

7. Ukraine a Vector for GMO Poison’s Spread Through EU [Source]
Regarding American biotech companies and their attempts to infest the planet with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and in particular their attempts to corrupt the whole of Europe with their unwanted poison through a backdoor (Ukraine), has prompted Russia to speak up for their Eastern European neighbor.
“Euromaidan” has stripped Ukraine of both its freedom and its ability to determine what is best for itself. From a military set upon its own people, to an economy looted by foreign interests, to a government directed literally by foreigners who chair it, to now fields to be sown with genetically altered poison, the ruination of Ukraine is nearly complete and a lasting testament to what the West truly means when it says “democratization.”
No One Will Buy GMO-Tainted Crops
Bloomberg in its report “U.S. Forced to Import Corn as Shoppers Demand Organic Food” claims:
A growing demand for organics, and the near-total reliance by U.S. farmers on genetically modified corn and soybeans, is driving a surge in imports from other nations where crops largely are free of bioengineering.
Imports such as corn from Romania and soybeans from India are booming, according to an analysis of U.S. trade data released Wednesday by the Organic Trade Association and Pennsylvania State University.
The humiliation of a nation historically self-reliant agriculturally having to import something as basic as corn because everything grown domestically is poisoned is a lesson any Ukrainian seeking to preserve what is left of not only their dignity, but their sense of self-preservation should take note of. Even as the “miracle” of GMO evaporates amid an increasingly astute market in the United States, US corporations are buying off Ukraine’s infinitely servile regime to place Ukraine’s neck into the same noose.

Cecchini tedeschi in Ucraina per giocare al Safari
April 20, 2015: Donetsk – Shocking testimony from our correspondents in Ukraine: “Germans are coming to Ukraine to participate in human Safari. They come fully equipped with the expensive accessories, like in a Hollywood action movie. Most of them are snipers. They do not care about the war. They are in Ukraine just to take part in shooting people. They shoot anyone, old men, women and sometimes children, as if they went to hunt humans.”
“What you see in the picture is the serial number of a German rifle taken by a German woman sniper, who participated in this ‘safari’ and was killed by a Donetsk sniper.” This is his interview.

Businesses on the territory of Donetsk People Republic, registered on the territory of Ukraine are paying taxes to Kiev. 52% out of 5000 Donbass companies are located on the DPR and LPR territory, and out of the reach of Kiev authorities.

10. Evidence that Ukraine becomes the source of counterfeit money [Source]
April 22, 2015: Brussels – Economy of Ukraine being appallingly in the red has stumbled across yet another problem. Residents of different parts of the country started complaining about circulation of counterfeit dollars and Euros distributed not only by some fishy money jobbers but also quite legal exchange offices. The police have been filing numerous complaints acknowledging it’s actually helpless to solve the problem. Also deceived Ukrainian currency buyers have flooded local forums :
The correspondence between Minister without Portfolio in charge of anticorruption fighting Oleg Parakuda and First Deputy Head of the National Bank Oleksandr Pisaruk reveals that the officials are not only well in the know of those events but appear to be the moving force behind them (perhaps they are trying to keep hryvnya afloat this way).
The correspondence was posted in the Internet by a hacker group Cyber. It looks like Parakuda and Pisaruk are intensely trying to escape international scandal after penetration of counterfeit dollars and euros into the EU space. However, judging from the letter of the ECB president Mario Draghi to High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini the scandal is pending.

Another note, this is very clean and works well for me, Thanks.
Mozgovoi speaks eloquently.
There is no positive human governmental alternative to Democratic Republics, with a leadership at the service of their people. And their people, conscious, contentious, citizens, and well armed.
For the Democratic Republics! Here and There!
Death to war profiteers!
IMAGINE
I prefer a direct democracy as being used in Switzerland for the last 150 years.
You realize Direct Democracy can only work in small countries?
Why ?
Massinissa, Direct democracy or something very like it can work in larger countries where most govt is decentralized. Few issues need to be solved at the federal level.
Sorry to break the news to you, guys. There is no democracy in Switzerland. Like everybody in the West we are governed by Wall Street, iPhones and the most appalling 24/7 propaganda.
Democracy? We don’t even have a Representative Republic in the US and any though of the Mob ruling their country would have the Ruling Class sending in the tanks to smash these silly notions.
Democracy and even some form of Direct Democracy could work anywhere people are able and willing to rule themselves. Hiring politicians to make our decisions for us is a proven recipe for corruption and rule of man but not for democracy.
Can you imagine the look on the faces of our degenerate leaders if they were told that they had to seek permission from the people directly before going to war or passing tax breaks for their rich buddies?
Dear Scott,
Thanks again for a great summary – love the:
“Poroshenko signs a degree to celebrate the 100 year anniversary victory of Austria”
Well it is all about re-writing history and “educating” the population ;).
Rgds,
Veritas
It is the junta “education” campaigns in Banderastan that are the most dangerous to Russia.As we see from the zombiefied West.The 24/7 MSM and “education” propaganda is very effective in making people buy their garbage.It must be stopped for Russia and the World to be safe.
Looking it up on web it seems that Monsanto owning Academi is a false rumor, although they hired the company.
Sitrep in French(very good):
15.000 contractors and foreign instructors are operating in the Ukraine.

#BREAKING RUSSIA SAYS U.S. TROOPS IN UKRAINE CONFLICT ZONE – RUSSIA’S DEFENSE MINISTRY

#BREAKING—Reports of clashes between protesters and #Ukraine|ian security forces in capital, #Kiev. #MAIDAN
Well if they do that just might enrage all Russians enough to demand the end of the junta for good.I remember when the Soviet troops went straight from the parade in Moscow to the counter-offensive against the nazis and broke the back of the nazis attack on Moscow.We might see a needed repeat of that this May.
Great sitrep but the second headline at #7 was a bit misleading. It should have read ‘Almost everyone in the US is eating GMO contaminated foods’. Demand for non GMO foods is growing especially among the more affluent consumers and that growing demand is outstripping US production but it is a small fraction of US consumption. Most corn and soybeans of both types are used to feed meat animals which is another way people around the world are getting their daily dose of GMO’s.
Also: check your food supplements & medication. Lots of it is GMO-based.
APR22
Another reason BRICS not liked, in addition to forming a huge anti-GMO bloc.
but so far, only more words; no action;
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The US national currency is being increasingly linked to so-called narco-dollars, or money obtained through illegal drug trafficking, undermining the global economy, Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service chief Viktor Ivanov said Wednesday.
http://sputniknews.com/world/20150422/1021220462.html
Anonymous, BRICS are very active in developing GMO crops:
-China has been active in this field since the 70s and continues to develop new GMO strains, especially rice.
-Indian farmers have been victimized by Monsanto w the help of its corrupt govt. I’m sure you have heard about the very numerous farmer suicides because they’ve been ruined by these crops. Sometimes they’re duped into buying these seeds; sometimes Monsanto has bought up alternative seeds.
-South Africa is the leading producer on the African continent of GMO crops.
No matter how many times Monsanto & its toxic Round-up are kicked away, they keep returning. They have protection from their bankers (Rockefellers) and so are immune from punishment of any sort.
Excellent information, Penelope and Russia who has banned GMO’s but still does research is using its GMO free status as an economic tool to support its farming industry by targeting the growing non-GMO market demand.
The Indian farmer suicide story may have been over-hyped somewhat because they were killing themselves in large numbers before the introduction of GM cotton but the promises made by Monsanto about better returns and lower costs was also over-hyped and certainly didn’t reduce the suicides or poverty endemic among these people.
nice to know their all still batting for the same team.
Which is why, in the interest of national security, Republican Representative Doug Lamborn has introduced new language to the National Defense Authorization Act which would strictly forbid the Pentagon from using not just any foreign satellites, but Russian and Chinese ones, specifically.
“The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the Department of Defense does not rely on, or in the future plan to rely on, space-based weather data provided by the Government of China, the Government of Russia, or an entity owned or controlled by the Government of China or the Government of Russia for national security purposes,” Lamborn’s language reads.

@ Scott,
It looks like you’re gradually creating a format that pleases most people. Great job!
A few points: This Vladimir Demchishin, is the junta official that made the “brilliant” statement that Ukraine could supply Europe with Norwegian gas through the pipelines in Ukraine that now ship Russian gas.Someone needs to hand him a map of Europe.And the DIA agents reported being in Donbass,are they NAF agents,or UAF agents.It isn’t very clear to me.If they aren’t NAF,the NAF needs to have some.In fact they should be (if they aren’t) conducting the same type of long range search and destroy missions behind the enemy lines that were done by Strelkov’s forces.Next,if (I’m hoping) that bill in the Rada to nationalize Russian assets in Ukraine passes.That might wake Russia up to the fact that you can’t deal with fascists in Ukraine.You destroy them,or they will destroy you.And lastly,was there a mistranslated statement with ,”I keep this hope that when SHTF, these people will be able to move to Russia and to find a second home in Russia”. If not that is seriously defeatist.Those men need to find their home in a liberated Novorossia and Ukraine.If we seek victory against fascism its not to see our supporters flee to Russia.But build their nation as a free part of the Russian World. Otherwise why not stop the fighting and all the millions in the Southeast just ethnically cleanse themselves.
Thank you Scott for the great collection of information. Mozgovoi’s report of corruption in distributing the humanitarian aid was so sad. But ‘human safaris’ made me cry. European values, I guess; they are just as decadent as the criminals who control the US.
Great articles and great format. For me the best format until now.Thank you Scot.
Unbelievable, what a mess in Ukraine. What part does Germany play here by taking care of nazi figures?
