Minister of Foreign Affairs Titus Corlatean is paying a working visit to Kiev on Monday, at the invitation of his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Deshchitsa. 

According to a release the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), the visit of Minister Titus Corlatean is part of the sustained efforts made by Romania both in the European and Euro-Atlantic structures and bilaterally for peacefully solving, through dialogue, the acute crisis in Ukraine. 'The presence of the Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs in Kiev is due to the escalation of the tensions caused by the Crimean Peninsula, an integral part of the independent and sovereign Ukraine. The consultations in Kiev will also occasion the approach to a comprehensive set of aspects on the bilateral agenda of the relations between Romania and Ukraine,' informs MAE.

The visit was agreed upon during the telephone conversation of March 4, at the initiative of the Romanian side, between the Romanian Foreign Minister and his Ukrainian counterpart.
'We agreed that I should travel to Kiev in the time to come and discuss ways to ensure protection at European standards for the Romanians living in Ukraine and here I welcomed the fact that Ukraine's acting President refused to sign the decree enacting the law that repeals the old piece of legislation on regional and minority languages,' Titus Corlatean said at the end of the talks he held with the representatives of the foreign policy parliamentary commissions about the situation in Ukraine.

The Romanian chief diplomat said that he had informed the MPs of the telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart in connection with Romania's position to the situation in the neighbouring country.

'I have informed the members of the parliamentary commissions of the contents of the telephone conversation I had with the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Romania's position is appreciated, the firm principled position of observing Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty and of condemning, together with the European and Euro-Atlantic partners, the clear violation of these prerogatives of sovereignty, of this act of aggression the Russian military action committed in a territory belonging to the Ukrainian State,' said Corlatean.

The Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs also informed of the MAE intention to send a team of negotiators to Kiev to finalize the agreement on the small-scale border traffic between Romania and Ukraine. 
'We have equally agreed to speed up negotiations for the completion and signing of the small-scale border traffic. There are still one or two items in suspension that were not completed in the previous negotiations with the former Ukrainian Government. I shall promptly send a team of negotiators to Kiev for us to try and identify the final solutions. This will be a major decision of support on the part of Romania. The visa-free, free of charge movement within a range of 30 to 50 km on both sides of the border, based on the permits the Romanian side is authorized to issue,' Corlatean declared. 

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also appreciated on Thursday that the decision of the authoritiesof Crimea to request joining the Russian Federation is 'unacceptable and illegal.'

'The decision that has been made today, March 6, by the authorities of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to request joining the Russian Federation and organizing a local referendum on this option, on March 16, without the assent of the central authorities in Kiev, is unacceptable and illegal, it is a direct threat to Ukraine's territorial integrity,' said Corlatean. The Romanian chief diplomat also said that any step taken with reference to Crimea's status must be made in consultation and with the assent of the authorities in Kiev.

'The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is an integral part of the sovereign territory of independent Ukraine, within the borders of Ukraine, which are acknowledged internationally. In keeping with the international law norms and with Ukraine's constitutional and legal framework, any step meant to define the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea must be taken in consultation and with the assent of the central authorities in Kiev,' added the Romanian chief diplomat. 


The pro-Russian Parliament of Crimea, an autonomous republic in southern Ukraine, on Thursday unanimously voted for the republic joining the Russian Federation.

Republic of Novorossiya ?

Republic of Novorossiya?

Constitutional principles of the Novorussian Republic

First of all let's recap the current situation, vis-a-vis relations between the Southern and Eastern parts of the Ukraine, and the center - Kiev, and its new government. We can see that the Kiev Junta is strongly cracking down on Eastern Ukrainian political activism & organisation, internet media, political independence and identity.

- Laws have been instituted banning Russian TV media channels, and proposed laws have arisen among which are various calls for withdrawing the Russian language's official status in Eastern Ukrainian regions (the law instating this status was first withdrawn by the new government but then seemingly hastily reinstated), Lustration of old officials, phasing out the Cyrillic alphabet in favour of Latin, outlawing all traces of the Soviet past and national holidays, rewriting history and all sorts of other loony ideas.

- Maidan-friendly oligarchs have been appointed to run Eastern Ukrainian regions such Kharkov, Zaporozha, Donetsk, Nikolayev and Dneprpetrovsk, displacing all the old leaderships in these regions, not to mention new chiefs of police, SBU and so on. Many of these oligarchs have been implicated in mafia activities, serious crimes and in effect the whole 'battle against corruption' that the Maidan protestors claim to have been fighting for; has now been decided in such a way - that Eastern Ukraine is stuck with more corrupt rulers and officials than ever before.

- Lenin statues as well as statues of Kirov and other famous figures have been smashed and taken down by Maidan activists arriving to Eastern regions under the sponsorship of the new government and protected by the police under the orders of the very same new government. In fact Lenin statues have been outlawed by the new government or at least that was one of the proposals. In some Eastern Ukrainian cities, public squares were even provocatively renamed to heroes of Maidan squares, despite the opposition of the local population. When this was resisted by the Oplot organisation in Kharkov, its leader became wanted by the police for questioning.

- Party of Regions officials (i.e. Eastern-Ukrainian and Russian-speakers political representitives) have been purged of all government positions, while Party of Regions and Communist Party deputies have been coerced under threat into passing whatever laws and resolutions the other political party's deputies want in the duma; some have been beaten and even tortured.

- Mass anti-Russian hysteria has swept the country, all TV media and all major internet media has come under the control of the new government, with those opposed being threatened or closed-down. Internet forums have also been taken over by pro-Maidan, pro-Bandera moderators over the past few years; including even those of most Eastern Ukrainian cities such as Dneprpetrovsk and Kharkov, with pro-Russian posters being simply banned over the past two weeks. Eastern Ukrainians have had to rapidly organise the hosting of new forums.

- Pravyj Sektor militants are being given more and more of a central role, as police forces in Kiev and Western Ukraine, as security for Maidan protestors in Eastern regions, etc... and now also as official military formations of some description and designation.

- Berkut police units - hailed as heroes by the Eastern half of the country - have been disbanded, and in the case of those hailing from Western regions; humiliated, threatened, beaten, etc... basically they now feel very unwelcome in their own homes. Criminal cases opened in regards to the shooting of police forces and Berkut members during the last few days of the old government have been closed. Berkut have been accused of most of the killings that have taken place, are the target of scorn and hatred, etc...

- Eastern Ukrainian political activists have been threatened, beaten, arrested, smeared in the media and labelled as Russian provocatuers, etc... while the meetings themselves have been either completely ignored or derided in the Ukrainian press as consisting of 'Titushki' (paid provocateurs) or arrivals from Russia. Police reinforcements have been flooding various Eastern regions in order to prevent protestors ousting any of their new leaders appointed by Kiev. No demands have been met, no referendums are planned. The 21st of February political summit of Eastern Ukrainian regional leaders was labeled by the Ukrainian SBU as an attempt at separatism, and many of its attendants were forced to hide or flee to Russia right after its conclusion.

TRUTH is very stubborn

Seems Lugansk has definitely fallen out of the control of the Kiev authorities

Seems Lugansk has definitely fallen out of the control of the Kiev authorities

The governor has abdicated and has left. Police inside the building aren't trying to prevent the entrance of any protestors, etc... they are only making sure that damage isn't done and no-one loots anything.

Now the people have to rapidly organise and set up volunteer brigades, checkpoints, etc... they don't have much time until the Kiev government comes knockin'

Arseniy Yatsenyuk, whitewashing Ukraine's Nazi collaborators

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.

Vitaly Churkin speaking at the UNSC meeting- March 2014

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin says ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has sent a letter to Putin asking him to use military force in Ukraine to restore law and order.

"Under the influence of Western countries, there are open acts of terror and violence," Churkin quoted the letter from Yanukovich to Putin in the third emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.  "People are being persecuted for language and political reasons," Churkin read. ”So in this regard I would call on the President of Russia, Mr. Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defending the people of Ukraine."

Churkin said it is essential that the obligations set forth in the agreement on February 21 be fulfilled, such as beginning the process of constitutional reform with full participation and contributions from all regions of Ukraine for subsequent approval in a national referendum, and the formation of a legitimate government of national unity in the interests of all political forces and regions.

Russia's Nuclear Doctrine

Russia's Nuclear Doctrine

Nikolai Sokov - Senior Fellow, Monterey Institute of International Studies

Introduction

Statements about Russia's increased reliance on nuclear weapons have become commonplace since 1993, when it formally dropped the Soviet no-first-use policy. In reality, nuclear doctrine changed more slowly, and almost the entire 1990s was spent on debates, most of them behind closed doors. Only in 1999 did a new, post-Soviet nuclear doctrine take shape. Analysis of official documents, as well as official and unofficial statements, suggest that the main innovation was a new mission assigned to nuclear weapons, that of deterrence of limited conventional wars.

Available evidence suggests that there were two key variables that affected the emergence of the new nuclear doctrine. First, a perception of acute external threat (especially in the mid-1990s and in 1999, when Russia anticipated that NATO might threaten to use force on a limited scale to achieve limited political goals in a manner similar to wars in the Balkans). Second, acute sense of the weakness of Russia's conventional forces vis-à-vis the prospect of a limited conventional war, especially a limited war with both numerically and qualitatively superior NATO forces. From the perspective of the Russian military, reliance on nuclear weapons was a logical response to the glaring inadequacy of conventional forces premised on the perception that nuclear weapons had greater utility than deterrence of a large-scale nuclear attack. Official documents suggest, however, that reliance on nuclear weapons is seen as a temporary "fix" intended to provide for security until conventional forces are sufficiently modernized and strengthened.
