Thread: Latest from Ukraine

Well, the above-mentioned links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWw15dIrhHQ and Girkin (Strelkov): ‘Will of People’ in Crimea Achieved at Gunpoint | Planet Putin say: (I quote) "The only law enforcement unit that joined our ranks back then was Berkut."
That's a lie. In reality what he says is: "The only law enforcement unit that took the side of the people (the inhabitants of Crimea) back then was Berkut."
That's a brazen lie #1.
The brazen lie #2 is:
"We had absolutely no support from the people, not to mention the army."
He didn't say that. In reality he says that they didn't have any support from the government authorities. Government authorities are not all of the people.
So, I would highly recommend to check the translation in order not to look ridiculous. (Это не переход на личности, а добрый совет.)

You're the liar. I read Russians who confirmed and agree with the premise. Your semantic BS is just pathetic.
