A mass nationalist protest near the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev has turned violent, with 15 policemen wounded and at least 50 rioters arrested. Radicals are demanding “war veteran” status for armed nationalist rebels who fought for the Nazis in WWII.

On Tuesday afternoon, an estimated 8,000 far-right activists gathered at the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) as MPs considered a bill that would recognize members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) as war veterans.
Frustrated by parliament's decision, protesters then attacked police with rocks, firecrackers, and chains.

The demonstrators – mainly nationalist supporters of the far-right Svoboda party and the radical Right Sector movement – clashed with officers, hurled stones, and broke widows of the parliament building.

Interior Minister Adviser Anton Geraschenko said at least 15 police officers were wounded in clashes with protesters.

A video from the scene in Kiev showed officers in riot gear standing in tight formations near the building, as occasional bangs from exploding firecrackers were heard in the distance.


Fifty participants of the provocation near the Verkovna Rada have already been arrested,” Geraschenko said on his Facebook page. According to the police press office, about 40 people were detained, including one law enforcement representative and a TV cameraman.

Violent clashes outside parliament forced Speaker Aleksandr Turchinov to cancel the Rada session halfway through. Because of the “provocative actions by young people,” parliamentarians failed to consider a number of bills.

It was reported that they started setting tires on fire. I call on the people doing it: such actions will not help pass this law. You will make part of the members leave the hall and there won't be enough to vote. Those who organized those people, please, call the street to order and stop interfering with the work of the parliament,” Turchinov said, as quoted by Ria Novosti.

Meanwhile, a Right Sector rally in Kiev was attended by 5,000 supporters on Tuesday, with mainly masked activists holding flags and burning torches.


NATO games in Ukraine push world 5 minutes before nuclear midnight - Stephen Cohen


The West and Russia can’t seem to get over their differences, with the tensions between the Washington and Kremlin changing the stakes for the whole world. How far would this confrontation go? Is there another Cold War coming? And finally, will the world once again know the horror of a Nuclear War looming over the humanity? We ask these questions to a prominent American scholar on Russian studies, Professor at New York University and Princeton University. Stephen Cohen is on Sophie&Co today





Another great interview from Andrew Korybko....

Fascism has taken control of our planet and collapse is not far away. If you have access to the net you have access to the truth which is more than the 300 people murdered in MH370 and the 300 disappeared on MH17.
