Ukraine’s deputy health minister Roman Vasylyshyn was arrested on Thursday over bribery allegations, becoming the country’s first high-ranking official to be accused of corruption since the April 2015 election of a new cabinet.

'We Were Shocked': Top Ukraine Official Arrested Over Bribery
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160709/1042683489/top-ukraine-official-arrested-bribery.html

Vasylyshyn was caught receiving money "from sick patients for operations" in Kiev’s state-run hospital, the chief of Ukraine's State Security Service, Vasyl Gritsak, announced Friday.

"We were shocked by what the deputy health minister was doing," Gritsak declared to reporters. “During his detention and as a result of searches, we confiscated more than $50,000 (45,200 euros) and 320,000 hryvnias ($12,900)."

The security service revealed that Vasylyshyn received up to 100,000 hryvnas ($4,000) weekly, providing people with essential medical assistance that is presumed to be free. Investigators also noted that the kickbacks included all of the personnel at the Kiev medical center.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, a long-time friend of current Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, reacted to the arrest with a fierce post on Facebook: "I would like to stress that not a single corrupt official will be able to avoid prosecution."

Vasylyshyn, however, denies the accusations, claiming a lack of evidence.

“They talked about a sum of 1.6 million hryvnas ($64.4 thousand). There were 10 to 20 thousand [hryvnas] found in my house in addition to 30 [hryvnas] thousand that my daughter had. The rest of the money was kept by the other arrestant,” Ria Novosti Ukraine cited the chairman as saying.

The official also pledged to prove his innocence and return to office, “just to show the accusations were not true.”

The official has been placed in custody for two months with a 2.8 million-hryvna ($112.7 thousand) bail, 112 Ukraina news agency reported. Under Ukrainian law, he faces a jail term of up to twelve years if found guilty.


US preparing provocations in Ukraine

United States President Barack Obama arrives on a visit to Warsaw today. US Secretary of State John Kerry, meanwhile, is already in Ukraine. The visits of dignitaries come on the eve of the Warsaw Summit of the North Atlantic Alliance, which must approve a tougher strategy towards Russia. Kerry and Obama's visit coincided with the next aggravation of the situation in Donbass.

The US uses Poland and Ukraine to form a cordon sanitaire along the border with Russia. Poland is a priority country for the placement of additional US troops in Europe, which must be approved by the Warsaw Summit. The worsening of the situation in Donbass is also included in the plans of US strategists. Another aggravation during the NATO summit is necessary for the United States in order to be able to accuse Russia of violating the Minsk agreements and make it easier to hold an anti-Russian initiative at the summit.

Russia understands the strategy of the US. On the eve of the visit of Kerry to Ukraine, a conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry took place, during which Lavrov drew attention to the emerging information about the intentions of Kiev, which may trigger the resumption of full-scale hostilities in Donbass, and urged Washington to make an effort to prevent such a development. Thus, in the language of diplomacy, Russia warned the United States that it knew about their plans to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.

Major screw-up ...... Self-propelled air defense missile system Strela-10 turned turtle after a military parade in Ukraine.

Missile System Flipped Upside Down After Military Parade in Ukraine (Photos)
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160711/1042743555/missile-system-flipped-over.html

UAF's air defense unit personnel flipped over the machine after a military parade in Konotop city in northern Ukraine, the Inspector General of local police department told media. The parade was held to mark 357 years since Ukrainian Cossacks won in the battle of Konotop.

Resident of the city Spartak Sergiyenko saw the 9K35 Strela-10 lying gracefully in the middle of the street and immediately posted photographs of the capsized machine on his Facebook page.

"How is this possible?" He wrote. "What a party it must have been."

The incident reportedly occurred due to the machine operator's mistake when he was driving Strela-10 on the platform of the tow car for transportation. It is yet unclear whether there were missiles in the launch barrel, but the ammunition didn't detonate when the system fell on the ground.

A crane truck arrived at the scene to evacuate the missile system to a military base in Chernigov. Nobody was harmed, the Inspector General told 112 Ukraine TV Channel.

Ukraine's defense department has not yet commented on the incident.

The trailer for Oliver Stone's documentary "Ukraine on Fire" looks like it will blow up the US/EU lies about Ukraine's "grass roots" revolution of dignity.

First it was Paul Moreira documentary, “Ukraine, The Masks of the Revolution”, which challenged what the mainstream media reported during the Maidan revolution.

Now Oscar award winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, is set to tear down the entire western, US/EU fairy tale, turned nightmare, on the streets of Kiev.

One of the most audacious, vicious, and irresponsible coups in history…carried out by the Obama administration, in cahoots with their Brussels vassal state stooges, is about to be platooned.

Oliver Stone claims the “CIA’S Fingerprints are all over the Kiev Massacre.”

We also believe lots of neocon, Soros, McCain, and Obama fingerprints are also all over the coup in Ukraine.

Coming back to revisionist history, the Kyiv name-change-game inducted Stepan Bandera to the wall of shame.

https://newcoldwar.org/main-roadway-kyiv-renamed-bandera-prospect/



Kyiv’s Moscow Prospect (avenue) has been renamed ‘Bandera Prospect’ by a decision of the city council on Thursday, July 7.

As reported by Yury Sirotyuk, a deputy to the council from the extreme-right Svoboda Party, the decision was supported by 87 deputies out of 97 present. No one present voted against the proposal.

Sirotyuk wrote on his Facebook page: “Hurrah! In Kyiv we now have a Stepan Bandera Prospect instead of Moscow Prospect! The vote was 87 in favor our of 97 total deputies. Glory to Ukraine!” { }

Deputies also agreed at the same meeting to change other street names in the city.

“It remains to put the squeeze on Avenue Shukhevych,” reported Sirotyuk. As reported by Korrespondent.net, there is pressure to rename Vatutina Prospect to Shukhevych Prospect.

From Wikipedia:

Nikolai Fyodorovich Vatutin (1901 – 1944) was a Soviet military commander in Ukraine during World War II. He was ambushed in February 1944 by a Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) unit and died six weeks later from his wounds.

Roman-Taras Yosypovych Shukhevych (1907 – 1950) was a leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. In the spring of 1943, the UPA conducted a massacre of thousands of ethnic Polish people living in regions adjacent to Poland in what is today northwestern Ukraine, including the region of Volhynia.

Also in Ukraine, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau (perhaps he traveled down Stepan Bandera Prospect), arrived with his son and paraded in the streets, met with Petro Poroshenko, signing a free trade deal and clapped for Canada's role in training Ukraine troops so they can be more effective killers in Eastern Ukraine, and of course to help shore up the NATO's (America) Russian boarder provocations. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-kyiv-trade-deal-military-trainers-ukraine-1.3673239

There was a video somewhere of the PM with Petro, however, it's all rather sickening to watch.

Ukrainian-US Sea Breeze exercise to begin in Ukraine July 18

http://tass.ru/en/world/887700

This year, the Ukrainian armed forces plan to take part in 10 multinational exercises, four of which will be held in the country’s territory

KIEV, July 12. /TASS/. The Ukrainian-American maneuvers Sea Breeze will begin in Ukraine on July 18, spokeswoman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry Oksana Gavrilyuk said on Tuesday.

"The drills will be held in the Odessa and Nikolayev regions, as well as in the north-western part of the Black Sea," Gavrilyuk is quoted by the UNIAN news agency.

According to her, the exercise will focus on a multinational security operation in a crisis region.

This year, the Ukrainian armed forces plan to take part in 10 multinational exercises, four of which will be held in the country’s territory.

In December 2015, Ukraine adopted a law on the admission of foreign military contingents to the country in 2016 for the participation in multinational manoeuvers in Ukraine.

Under Poroshenko's Rule, Ukraine Has Become the Poorest Country in Europe

http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/07/under-poroshenkos-rule-ukraine-has.html

Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ
15th July, 2016

The degree of impoverishment of the Ukrainian population over the past two and a half years is tremendous. In Ukraine, according to the State statistics service, the average wage is $200 (a little less than 5 thousand hryvnia). But for many that do not have a salary or will soon lose it – unemployment in Ukraine is growing.

At the same time, in neighboring Belarus, the average salary reached $357, and in a poor Moldova – $254. Before euromaidan, Ukraine was overtaken in terms of GDP per capita by Moldova and almost reached the indicators of Georgia, but in 2014, the situation deteriorated sharply.

"GDP per capita is a comprehensive measure that characterizes not only the quality of life, but also the development of the country," said the Executive Director of the Bleyzer Foundation Oleg Ustenko.

With the coming to power of Poroshenko and his entourage, Ukraine became one of the most backward countries in Eastern Europe. This is not true of the Ukrainian President, whose business is booming. Shops owned by Poroshenko's "Roshen" are in fact the only objects that were built and appear massively after he came to power. Everything else is degraded and destroyed.

If in 2013, 32% of the economy was in the dark, in 2014 this figure increased to 43%. Salaries are paid in envelopes, businesses do not pay taxes, resulting in revenues declining: there is not enough money for health care, education, road maintenance, and pensions.

The lion's share of the already devastated budget absorbs military spending and the insatiable appetite of Poroshenko and his clique. Corruption in the Ukrainian regime is through the roof – it is recognized by all international experts. In this case somehow the promises to precisely establish peace in the country and to fight corruption have already been forgotten, and the citizens at the time selected Poroshenko in one round.

But the Poroshenko regime is not for the development of Ukraine's economy: he needs war.

"What are the real causes of this war? Very simple. A year and a half ago the people of Ukraine took to the streets, demanding to sign the Association Agreement with the EU. The whole country supported European aspirations. The only one who was against it was Russia. However, I do not ask for Russia's permission to go to Europe. I ask the Ukrainians what they want. And they want to be part of the large European family," said Petro Poroshenko in an interview with the BBC in May 2015.

And where is she, integrated into Europe? Where at least is the promised visa-free regime, which the same Moldovans have long had?

"We need to change the power in Ukraine and conduct a pragmatic policy in the national interest. As Poroshenko stands behind every one of his cents, we must stand for the Ukrainian economy," sums up the MP of 5, 6, 7 convocations, member of Committee of Rescue of Ukraine Vladimir Oleinik.

It is time to stop the anti-Russian hysteria. We need to restore good neighbourly relations, sell products to Moscow, and use the transit routes of the Russian Federation for Ukrainian goods to the markets of Asia. A trade war isn't necessary for anybody and, first of all, it isn't necessary for Ukraine.

Against Mobilization: Acquitted Journalist Will Demand Compensation

http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/07/against-mobilization-acquitted.html

Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ
15th July, 2016

Ukrainian journalist Ruslan Kotsaba has been acquitted. The decision to release him from custody was taken by the court of appeal of Ivano-Frankivsk region. Journalist and initiator of the campaign "I am against the mobilization" was held in custody for a year and a half. Now he intends to achieve compensation.

"Of course, my health cannot be returned. No one will reverse the fact that my children grew up without me, that my wife hasn't seen me in the year and a half that took me away from my beloved profession. It isn't measured by any money," said the acquitted journalist.

Earlier, the court sentenced the journalist to 3 years and 6 months in prison, reminds RIA Novosti. He was convicted of obstructing the activities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, the court acquitted the journalist on another article imputed to him – treason.

Ruslan Kotsaba was arrested on 8th February 2015. He called for a boycott of the next wave of mobilization in Ukraine, which took place because of the conflict in Donbass. The journalist does not consider his actions illegal, and Amnesty International recognized him a prisoner of conscience.

"I've not surrendered, I have not abandoned my beliefs, I know that for me it is the truth, and God helped me to prove it," said Ruslan Kotsaba.

Kotsaba intends to return to journalism. He promises to do human rights work, to help others to fight the system. "All the talk about some changes in the prison system - it's all a lie," said Ruslan.

MH-17: Russia Convicted By Propaganda, Not Evidence
_http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/07/17/mh-17-russia-convicted-by-propaganda-not-evidence/
July 17, 2016

Today is the second anniversary of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, and we still do not know the explanation.

Washington and its European vassal politicians and media instantly politicized the event: The Russians did it. End of story. After 15 months of heavy anti-Russian propaganda had imprinted the message on peoples’ minds, the Dutch Safety Board issued its inconclusive report.

By then, it was irrelevant what the report said. Everyone already knew that “the Russians did it.”

I remember when pre-trial media accusations resulted in dismissed cases. Anyone declared guilty prior to presentation of evidence and conviction was considered to have been convicted in advance and unable to receive a fair trail. Such cases were dismissed by judges.

Washington’s story never made any sense. Neither Russia nor the separatists in the Donetsk region had any reason to shoot down a Malaysian airliner. In contrast Washington had enormous incentives as Washington’s propaganda machine could place the blame on Russia and use the incident to compel European governments to accept Washington’s sanctions placed on Russia.

It worked for Washington. Washington successfully used the incident to wreck Europe’s political and economic relationships with Russia.

Four months into the anti-Russian propaganda campaign, a website called Bellingcat, claiming to be an open source site for citizen journalists, but which could be a MI-5, MI-6, or CIA front, issued a report that the Buk missile was fired by a Russian unit, the 53rd Buk Brigade, based in the Russian city of Kursk. This allegation exposed the propaganda for what it is.

Whereas it is possible that separatists unfamiliar with the Buk weapon system could accidentally shoot down a civilian airliner, it is not possible for a Russian military unit to make such a mistake.

Moreover, it is unclear why separatists or the Ukrainian government would have any reason to use Buk missiles in their conflict. The separatists have no air force. The Ukrainians attack the separatists at ground level with ground attack aircraft and helicopters, not with high altitude bombing. The Buk missile is a high altitude missile. The only way the separatists could have acquired Buk missiles is by overrunning and capturing Ukrainian positions that for unfathomed reasons had deployed Buk missiles.

It seems to me that if a Buk missile was present in the conflict area, it was moved there for a reason unrelated to the conflict.

A European air traffic controller said that MH-17 and the airliner carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin were initially on the same course. Possibly Washington and its vassal in Kiev thought MH-17 was Putin’s plane and destroyed the Malaysian flight by mistake.

In order to avoid the consequences of such a provocation, the Russian government would deny that Putin’s plane was on a similar course.

Even the Western presstitute media reports that separatists found the Malaysian airliner’s recorders, or black boxes, and turned them over to the investigation and that the recorders had not been tampered with. If the separatists were responsible for the attack, why would they hand over evidence against themselves?

Why does Kiev refuse to release the communications between Ukrainian air traffic control and MH-17? Why was a civilian airliner routed over a combat zone? The Dutch report does not answer these questions. Washington prevented all answers that conflict with its propaganda.

Only Washington, whose presstitutes can be relied on to control the explanations for Washington, and Washington’s vassal in Kiev had anything to gain from downing the airliner. Whether intentional or an accident, the downing of MH-17 was used to blacken Russia and to convince the EU to go along with Washington’s economic sanctions and military moves against Russia.

As the Romans always asked: “Who benefits?” The answer to that question tells you who did it.

According to the reports, the car belonged to his employer, the head of Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper.

Alyona Pritula, the founder and chief editor of Ukrainskaya Pravda media outlet, was not inside the car at the moment of the explosion.

Just a note that she was journalist's partner, therefore investigators don't exclude the possibility that the explosion was either intended for her (she belongs to the Ukrainian opposition), or as a warning by blowing up her boyfriend. Or they did plan to kill Sheremet, and the explosion was activated by the remote control.

A renowned Russian journalist Pavel Sheremet has died in downtown Kiev when the car he was driving blew up minutes after the engine started.

Очередная трагедия, к сожалению не первая и по видимому не последняя. Здесь не нужно быть провидцем.
Мне в этой связи интересны да момента.
Первый-это легко и непринужденно применяемый журналистский прием повышения интереса к публикуемой новости. Я имею ввиду словосочетание "Russian journalist". Ну скажите на милость, почему "Русский"? Да он работал несколько лет в России, но начал трудовую деятельность в Беларуси и последние несколько лет работал в Украине. Вопрос конечно риторический ибо напиши кто-нибудь " Украинский журналист" или "Белорусский журналист" и интерес к новости будет совсем другой.
Второй момент. Как сейчас стали себя чувствовать такие персонажи как Шустер, Ганапольский, Киселев? Их всех с таким же успехом можно назвать "Русскими". Когда в Киеве застрелили Бузину им это было понятно, он был врагом нынешних фашистских порядков в Украине и не скрывал этого. Однако Шеремет совсем не был таким врагом, да он кое-кого слегка критиковал, но с некоторыми (известный кровавыми делами полк "Азов" и его командование) прямо в "десны лобызался" как у нас говорят.
По моему такие персонажи ни русские, ни украинские, ни какие. Они просто как поплавок показывают место фокусировки определенных сил. Был фокус в России-они были здесь, сместился фокус в Украину- они тут же оказались там. Переместится в дальнейшем (не дай Бог) этот фокус куда-нибудь в Казахстан, Молдову, Белоруссию и вскоре они окажутся там. Конечно те кто выживут.

Translation

A renowned Russian journalist Pavel Sheremet has died in downtown Kiev when the car he was driving blew up minutes after the engine started.

Another tragedy is unfortunately not the first and apparently not the last. There is no need to be a visionary.
In this case, I'm interesting two points.
The first is easily applied journalistic techniques to increase interest in the news. I mean the phrase "Russian journalist". Well, pray tell, why "Russian"? Yes, he worked for several years in Russia, but started his career in Belarus and in recent years worked in Ukraine. The question of course is rhetorical because write someone "Ukrainian journalist" or "Belarusian journalist and interest in the news will be quite different.
The second point. As now began to feel the characters Shuster, Ganapolskiy, Kiselev? Them all with the same success can be called "Russian". When in Kiev was shot dead Buzina it was clear he was the enemy of the current fascist regime in Ukraine and not hide it. However, Sheremet wasn't the enemy, he's someone slightly criticized, but with some (famous bloody Affairs regiment "Azov" and his command) directly into the "gums kiss" as we say.
In my opinion these characters are neither Russian nor Ukrainian, nor any. They're just like the float show the location of the focus of certain forces. The trick was in Russia-they were here, has shifted the focus to Ukraine, they were there. Will move in the future (God forbid), the focus is somewhere in Kazakhstan, Moldova, Belarus, and soon they will be there. Of course those who survive.
Here's a video of this disruption.

Yeah, I also just read that there was no reason to kill him, as he didn't do or say anything that opposed Ukrainian government. Not to mention him being buddies with "Azov". Sharii proposes a theory, that it has to do with future election in Ukraine.
