Luglio ha visto visto impennarsi il numero della vittime del governo di Kiev
Questo luglio le attività militari dell’esercito ucraino nel Donbass hanno raggiunto il picco. Il numero di attacchi sul territorio del Donbass ammonta a centinaia al giorno. Difficilmente passa giorno senza che civili residenti nelle Repubbliche Popolari di Donetsk e Lugansk (DNR e LNR) cadano sotto gli attacchi ucraini, e che case ed infrastrutture delle città vengano distrutte. Ogni giorno, i rappresentanti delle Repubbliche del Donbass registrano l’arrivo di armi pesanti ucraine sul confine, vietate dall’accordo di Minsk.
Al vertice della NATO a Varsavia è stata osservata la violazione della tregua da entrambe le parti, ma la NATO ha dovuto ammettere la responsabilità ucraina.
Il 6 luglio, il vice Ministro degli Esteri russo, Karasin, ha incontrato gli ambasciatori di Francia e Germania in Russia, e ha espresso preoccupazione per la situazione nel Donbass per via delle azioni pericolose dell’Ucraina. In un comunicato che Karasin ha rilasciato dopo l’incontro, è stato affermato apertamente che le autorità di Kiev si stanno preparando a riprendere la guerra nel Donbass. Lo stesso giorno, su iniziativa del presidente Putin, si è tenuto un colloquio telefonico tra il leader russo ed il presidente Obama. Uno dei temi principali del colloquio è stata proprio la situazione nel Donbass.
Gli USA rifiutano, tuttavia, di fare pressione su Kiev e di forzare il governo ucraino a sottostare agli accordi di Minsk. In occasione del vertice NATO, la Russia è stata accusata di aggressione contro l’Ucraina in Crimea e nel Donbass, e al governo di Kiev sono stati promessi aiuti militari statunitensi per il valore di 500 milioni di dollari.
Inoltre, è stata istituita una commissione G5 + Ucraina per sostituire il procedimento “formato Normandia” per la soluzione del conflitto in Donbas. La Russia è esclusa dalle trattative di negoziazione per il Donbass, ma continua ad essere ritenuta responsabile per la realizzazione degli accordi di Minsk.
La Russia si troverebbe quindi ad affrontare un ulteriore isolamento, oltre che la pressione militare e politica della NATO, mentre le Repubbliche del Donbass devono affrontare i nuovi bombardamenti.
Secondo i rappresentanti del DNI locale, la situazione dell’estate 2016 nel Donbass ricorda le settimane più buie dell’estate del 2014. L’artiglieria ucraina in questo periodo sta bombardando le città del territorio, tra cui Donetsk, città di un milione di persone. L’Ucraina ha concentrato quasi tutte le unità disponibili del suo equipaggiamento militare sulla linea di demarcazione con le Repubbliche di Donetsk e Lugansk — oltre alle truppe, anche i lanciarazzi “Grad”, che si trovavano in origine vicino a Chernobyl. Si tratta di un meccanismo radioattivo, e perciò pericoloso per la salute dell’equipaggio.
Secondo i rappresentanti del DNI locale, tutto questo verrebbe svolto al fine di mettere in atto una “blitzkrieg”: la sconfitta delle Repubbliche del Donbass in una battaglia rapida.
Al momento, la popolazione di Donetsk ammonta a circa ¾ rispetto al numero degli abitanti prima della guerra, ed i bombardamenti continuano. Kiev sembrerebbe condurre la politica della terra bruciata nel Donbass, zona dissidente al governo, anche al fine di minare il morale dei cittadini locali.
Pertanto, la Russia si vedrebbe costretta a proteggere la popolazione del Donbass con qualsiasi mezzo, compresi mezzi militari. Ma finora sono ancora in corso i mezzi diplomatici. Il 13 luglio, il presidente Putin ha tenuto colloqui telefonici con Angela Merkel e François Hollande, e ancora una volta ha espresso profonda preoccupazione per i pesanti bombardamenti ucraini sul Donbass.

“Russia was excluded from the negotiation talks for the Donbass, but continues to be held responsible for the implementation of the Minsk agreements.”

This July the military activity of the Ukrainian forces reached a peak. The attacks on the territory of Donbass have risen to hundreds every day. Hardly a day goes by without the civilian residents of the Peoples Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk (DNR and LNR) falling under Ukrainian attacks, and the housing and infrastructure in the cities getting turned into more ruins.
Every day, the representatives of the Republics of Donbass record heavy artillery being brought up to the border from Ukraine, which is forbidden by the Minsk Accords.

Interview with former resident of Iliovaisk city. She is now superintendent-volunteer at a TAF — temporary accommodation facility — for refugees in Khartosyzsk, DPR.
February 3, 2016 –
Vox Populi Evo –
Partial transcript:
“If you have a chance to talk to us, residents of Donbass, in person, in Internet or via Skype, don’t miss this opportunity.
Because there is no one besides us who lived through this misery, nobody will tell you the truth, whatever bitter and hard truth it is. But this is the truth, and the truth is….what for?
For what are our cities being destroyed, and our children are dying?
For what are our elderly dying?
Why?
Why are you declaring us some sort of subhumans?
Why should we be deprived of the possibility to speak our native language?
…Despite the Minsk agreements, there is no truce. We don’t see it.
…People have nowhere to return to. They had everything, saving and building their whole life, building their lives, raising children. And they were deprived of all that in one instant. Simply taken away.
Like helpless kittens and puppies get thrown away, we were thrown away out of normal, stable life.
Interviewer: I represent international media resource Vox Populi. What would you like to say to our international viewers, people in Europe, America, Canada, Australia?
I’ll repeat the same thing: if you have a chance to get in touch with us, residents of Donbass, territory considered to be “seized by militants”, don’t miss the opportunity.
We are not separatists and not militants as we were declared for the whole world. We are just people who fight for their freedom and right to have their own opinion.”

‘Space’ Transcarpathian die-hard Zoryan Shkiryak kind of reminds me with his ‘spirituality’ of the former Kiev mayor Leonid Chernovitsky, commonly known as Lyonya Kosmos [“Space” – FR]. It seems to me that some ‘astral’ resemblance is obvious:
![]() |
| Leonid Chernovitsky |
![]() |
| “Zoryan Shkiryak took his girlfriend to Nepal, and what have you done?” |
In addition, Shkiryak also has some problems with biography. If Lenya Cosmos was a member of a religious sect and kissed the hands (perhaps not only) of a black American pastor, Shkiryak is also deeply esoterical and, it seems, is also connected with the cosmos. And his biography, although it is written perfectly in places where people usually look for incriminating evidence online, evokes clear suspicions of those who were not made yesterday.
![]() |
| Comments: Manufactured suspicious biography; Shkiryak was identified by drug rehab nurses |
Overall the public has long agreed that Shkiryak is Avakov’s stooge, and was created just for filling certain positions in the government as a plug. The people of Ukraine could judge his performance by operation “SOS in Nepal” or, for example, fire liquidation at the oil depot near Kiev. To consider Shkiryak a politically autonomous figure does not make sense, despite his six pack and yoga hobby. This man has not yet achieved anything better. In four words about this person: Shkiryak, six pack, yoga, Avakov.
And when this man, formerly head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Emergency Situations, and now adviser and sometimes the mouthpiece of Avakov, suddenly says that certain law enforcement officers in Odessa will open fire if they see a weapon in the hands of some provocateur, I would treat these words seriously, given the recent appearance in Odessa of 300 “Azov” fighters (nick-named “Manure” by the people).
Perhaps Skiryak was talking about them when referring to “law enforcement”, and not the local ball-less militsia-police, which entirely discredited itself on May 2, 2014, and will be a disgrace of Odessa for a long time, no matter how they justify themselves.

“I want to cool the hot heads of those, who possibly want to use this situation and this anniversary to destabilize the domestic situation, that our units, which will be and already are in full combat readiness in the event of such attempts, will act harshly and uncompromisingly. Moreover, God forbid, if such provocateurs possess weapons, the reaction of law enforcement will be adequate, that is they will shoot to kill, – he said”
Against the background of the upcoming anniversary of the tragedy on May 2nd, traditional victory celebration of May 9, the confrontation between the governor and the mayor, which recently ended a temporary victory for mayor, but was the excuse to deploy 300 armed Avakov’s thugs to Odessa, subordinate to the rabid Georgian [Saakashvili – FR] with orders to shoot to kill, May in Odessa promises to be very ‘hot’. Perhaps, for the mayor and his team, which many still consider old school pro-Russian, this May will become the last in every sense. Radicals, Kiev residents and their curators from the CIA have long proven that they are versed in the art of arranging provocations with a bloody finale aimed to overthrow someone and crush resistance. And no wonder they already write in social networks that “The Trade Unions building was burned down, and now it’s time to burn the city hall”. I have long been accustomed to believe such promises of the Nazis:
Odessans, you’ve already lost your city when I for the first time on April 16, 2014 declared the Odessa People’s Republic online and called for you to block roads. You lost your city the second time on May 2, 2014. Now issues are resolved not as then, with bats and stones, but automatic weapons and heavy machine guns on armored cars. The stakes have increased and if you have nothing to resist the arms of “Manure”, I would recommend all of you to go away for “shahliki” [traditional Russian weekend getaway at a dacha (summer house) in grandma’s village with kebab (shashliki) as a featured dish – FR] for the entire May holidays or stock up on popcorn for those who stay in the city and watch the events. Any civil disobedience actions in Odessa without a serious cover today will be just shot by the Nazis. Remember Odessa on May 2, Mariupol on May 9 and how the same “Manure” killed Russians in Donbass.
You NEED to BELIEVE the Nazis who promise to shoot you!
