Thread: Future of Eastern Ukraine? / Будущее Восточной Украины?

I agree that the "Ukraine Crisis Uncensored" video focuses on only one side. But it's the one side that's ignored by most Western media. If outsiders never see something then it's easy to forget it exists.
And why should Americans or Europeans forget it exists if it's part of what their countries are financing and supporting.
Well, since the interim government has declared war against it's own people and is taking political prisoners (I believe that's called political oppression & authoritarianism), I was very happy to learn that pro-Russian Ukrainians rescued 67 of them from the Ukrainian jail.

Earlier, hundreds of pro-Russian activists shouting, "Odessa is a Russian city, one for all and all for one," attacked the police headquarters, forcing open its gate and breaking windows as they called for the release of their detained comrades. In a tense scene filled with arguments but with no shots fired, the separatists took down the Ukrainian flag and convinced the officers to release the detainees, according to a CNN team on the ground.

The crowd cheered as the detainees left the police compound, and many were embraced by friends and relatives.

That article, however, doesn't shed light on what those cell guys really did on Friday. It says something about their participance in violent clashes though. I can't say for sure if that has actually been proved, but are you completely sure it hasn't? It's disgusting if any of those violent felons are among those "released" ones.

Besides, do you think assaulting a police department with the purpose of helping the prisoners inside escape is a good idea anywhere? Do you realize what that would get you if you attempted to do that in the U.S. ? Those people used the complete chaos in the city as their cover, and what they did actually showed they aren't really willing to respect the law. And if that's the case, maybe their will shouldn't be respected either?
