STATEMENT BY THE FOREIGN MINISTRY OF RUSSIA

[ Editor’s Note: Kiev’s terrorist attack “invasion” of Crimea has killed two Russian servicemen, whereas Ukraine’s claim of Russian invasion and takeover of Crimea did not kill anyone. What’s wrong with the picture?

The answer to that is the most overlooked missing link in the whole Ukraine upheaval. For a coup to become successful legally, it must establish control over the entire country, or it is a failed coup.

Those areas that are able to successfully oppose and reject the coup, who did not vote in the election to validate it cannot be called rebels, because the coup “rebels” overthrew the government in Kiev that Crimeans were loyal to.

Having been a part of Russia during modern history, and the majority population having been Russian, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand Crimea’s urge to reunite with Russia to annul Nikita Khrushchev having given it away to Ukraine. To that we can add the spectacle of the Neo-Nazi MP in the Rada ranting from the podium about what they were going to do to the ethnic Russia in the Donbass area.

Nor have we forgotten Yulia Tymoshenko’s taped conversation about her wanting to “nuke” all the ethnic Russians in the Southeast, and then continue on killing them in Russia. Good gosh, what’s not to love about that if you’re a Russian living in Crimea?

Kiev’s statements that Russia had made this whole event up were just another example of the delusional state of mind they are working from. It did not take a genius to see that no mention in the public reports was made about killed, wounded or captured Ukrainian attackers.

We did not have to wait long for the now PoW Yevgeny Panov’s video confession, held back after Kiev made an even bigger fool of itself by wanting to take the “provocation by Crimea” against Ukraine to the UN Security Council. You just can’t make this stuff up. So we have just another fiasco manufactured by the gang that can’t shoot straight in Ukraine, and who are a national security risk to the entire country and its neighbors.

NATO weighed in with their pathological reputation intact, claiming that Russia has produced no credible evidence for a terrorist attack. They are the kind of people that will pee on your shoes and then tell you it is raining. Dear NATO, your attitude toward the public is one of contempt and there is a mountain of evidence to support that. If you would like to debate VT about it, give us a call... Jim W. Dean ]

STATEMENT BY THE FOREIGN MINISTRY OF RUSSIA

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has disrupted a plot to carry out terrorist attacks in the Republic of Crimea. The attacks, planned by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry’s Chief Intelligence Directorate, targeted critical infrastructure and facilities in Crimea. Russia’s intelligence services take the view that these planned acts of sabotage and terrorism were intended to destabilise the socio-political situation in the region in the run-up to federal and regional elections.

A group of saboteurs were apprehended near the town of Armyansk on the night of August 6. An FSB officer was shot and killed in the process of apprehending the terrorists. Explosive devices with a total charge of more than 40 kilograms of TNT, munitions, grenades, land mines and other weapons were found at the scene.

Ukrainian Defence Ministry special units made two further attempts to infiltrate Crimean territory in the early hours of August 8, but the groups of saboteurs and terrorists were intercepted by the FSB and other Russian forces.

These attempts to infiltrate Crimea took place under cover from armoured equipment and massive fire by Ukrainian armed forces from inside Ukrainian territory. One Russian Defence Ministry serviceman was killed as a result.
