Whitewashing Ukraine’s Nazi collaborators ‘morally repulsive’ – Russia’s UN envoy

< Ukrainian representative to UN publicly justifies nationalists
UNITED NATIONS, March 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine's Ambassador to the United Nations Yuriy Sergeyev on Monday has publicly justified Ukrainian nationalists, saying the charges brought by the Soviet Union against them at the Nuremberg trial were fabricated.

"The Russian-Soviet side at the time tried to press the Western allies to declare Bandera movement members and others murderers. The Nuremberg trial did not declare it. Why? Because the facts were falsified and the Soviet Union's position at the time was unjust," the diplomat told reporters.

Yatsenyuk dismisses generals that opposed to Right Sector’s legal status

KIEV, March 6. /ITAR-TASS/. The appointed by Verkhovna Rada Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has signed an order to dismiss three deputies of Ukraine’s defense minister as they opposed to giving the Right Sector militants the status of regular military units. A source in the Ukrainian government said this to Itar-Tass. “Yatsenyuk dismissed first deputy defense minister Alexander Oleynik,” the source specified. “Deputies defense minister Vladimir Mozharovskiy and Arturo Francisco Babenko were also dismissed.”

Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh put on international wanted list. The source added that on Wednesday, at a closed session of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry the military officials expressed sharp criticism over giving the Right Sector militants the status of regular military units. “They stated that the legal adoption of this initiative would lead to a final split of the society and the country, and bring chaos into the operations of the state’s security agencies,” the source said.  He also said that “one of these military officials at this session directly told Arseniy Yatsenyuk that actions of today’s Kiev authorities that overtures with radical nationalist organization strip Ukraine of chances to ensure national unity, and it is just harmful to involve the state military agency in such dangerous games”.  “In this situation, the authorities were forced to make the corresponding management reshuffles. And they were implemented,” the source added, recalling that Petro Mekhed has been appointed as the new deputy defense minister.

The Right Sector’s leader Dmytro Yarosh demands receiving armory and medical equipment

KIEV, March 07. /ITAR-TASS/. Leaders of the Right Sector nationalistic radical group have demanded from the country’s authorities to open arsenals for their self-defense forces, a source at Ukraine’s defense authority told Itar-Tass on Friday.“The demand came from the Right Sector’s leader Dmytro Yarosh. He claimed the enforcers’ ‘conservative approaches’ do not help restore order in the country and prevent anti-Maidan protests in the country’s eastern and southern regions,” the source said. Yarosh “in a form of ultimatum” demands receiving armory and medical equipment, as well as several military training centers, the source said. Those centers, Yarosh said, should be used “for quality training of the Right Sector’s forces, as they will participate in securing Ukraine’s territorial integrity,” the source said. If the government and the country leaders fail to abide by the demands, “Yarosh does not rule out that the Right Sector will participate in Ukraine’s fate more energentically,” the source added.
