Have you noticed of late, that the media no longer appears to report about victims, but "Survivors"?

'Grotesque' anti-semitic pamphlets tells Jews in Ukraine to register or face consequences

 

JEWS living in eastern Ukraine have been told to register with authorities or face consequences in "grotesque" anti-semitic pamphlets, it was claimed last night.

Anti-semitic pamphlets have allegedly been distributed in eastern Ukraine[AP]

American Secretary of State John Kerry blasted the leaflets as "beyond unacceptable" while the US ambassador to Ukraine called it "chilling". (John Kerry <Real family name Kohn> would wouldn't he?)
US officials said the anti-semitic leaflets recalled the persecution of Jews in the era of Nazi Germany. The pamphlets were distributed recently in Donetsk.

Speaking in Geneva today, Mr Kerry said: "In the year 2014, after all of the miles travelled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable; it's grotesque.

"It is beyond unacceptable.

"And any of the people who engage in these kinds of activities, from whatever party or whatever ideology or whatever place they crawl out of, there is no place for that."
  

The pamphlet reportedly tells Jewish people they need to register or face consequences [TWITTER]
It is beyond unacceptable
US Secretary of State John Kerry
The anti-semitic leaflets allegedly demanded Jewish people aged over 16 to bring their documents and $50 to a registration room before May 3. ("allegedly"...so you have no idea what this document is requiring?)

They reportedly must also provide proof of ownership of property and means of transport and need to report to a "commissioner of nationality". (Who exactly has reported this?)

Geoffrey Pyatt told US news channel CNN that a respected Jewish leader in Ukraine had shown him a photograph of one of the leaflets. (Let's be honest, anyone in this day and age with a little thing called a PC/Laptop and a Printer could create such a document and print off a few copies, and ensure they get into the 'right hands')
The US ambassador to Ukraine said: "Everything that we’re hearing suggests that this is the real deal, and that it is coming from somebody on the ground there among these radical groups.

"Either to stir fear or to create provocation justifying further violence."

US officials claim the letters come from the Donetsk People's Republic, an unrecognised self-appointed authority that seeks to join Russia. (Unrecognised by whom?)
The group deny any involvement and said the leaflets are fake aimed at discrediting their cause.
In March, leaders of Ukraine’s Jewish communities published an open letter denouncing Russian anit-semitism and criticising Putin. (Russian anti-semitism?)
  

US Secretary of State John Kerry called the leafelts grotesque [REUTERS] (Check the spelling error: National Daily Publication cannot foot the cost of Proofreading prior to publication it appears)
 
Last night a deal was reached between the US and the European Union to end the violence, saying there will be further sanctions on Moscow if it is broken. (I'm sure Moscow is all but 'Shitting itself')
However today in the Ukraine, pro-Russian insurgents who are occupying government buildings in more than 10 cities have refused to leave until the interim government in Kiev resigns.
Denis Pushilin, a spokesman of the self-appointed Donetsk People's Republic, told reporters that the insurgents do not recognize the Ukrainian government as legitimate.
Today he reiterated the insurgents' call for a referendum that he said will allow "self-determination of the people."
It comes more than a month after the people of Crimea voted to become part of Russia.
Meanwhile Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told the parliament this morning that the government has drafted a law that would offer amnesty to all those who will be willing to lay down their arms and leave the occupied government buildings.

-----------------------------------------------------------


Just one question here, the story concerns an alleged requirement for Jews to 'Register' with some self proclaimed organisation, or 'Face the consequences'. 
My point here is that the only difference is that the claim is that only 'Jews' are being required to register, but people fail to comprehend that this is exactly what happens in the UK on a daily basis, following are some fine examples:

Return your Census form or 'Face the consequences' of a fine.

Register your children or 'Face the consequences' of a Fine.

Register your vehicle with the DVLA or face Court and a Fine.

Register to Vote, or suffer the consequences of not obtaining credit.

The only difference between this purported story, is that it is alleged that 'Jews' have been singled out, but the state itself doesn't discriminate, it treats everybody in the exact same manner as those who would persecute anyone (including 'Jews').

Please also note this particular part of the story: 
"Geoffrey Pyatt told US news channel CNN that a respected Jewish leader in Ukraine had shown him a photograph of one of the leaflets."

Point one
I presume this 'Respected Jewish leader' preferred not to be named, if so Why not? or could this 'respected Jewish Leader' be a figment of someone’s active imagination, that is motivated to give the story more legitimacy?

Point two
Geoffrey Pyatt is the US Ambassador to Ukraine and is far from independent, indeed he was involved in a phone call with Victoria Nuland in which they were discussing who gets to take the reigns of power following the overthrow of the legitimately elected government of Ukraine in 2013, the call can be heard here.

Point three:
It is a fact that IDF (Israeli defence force) Soldiers are on the ground in Ukraine, IDF Soldiers are highly trained and I would imagine that; it would not take too much effort for them to eliminate any legitimate threat to ethnic Jews that are in Ukraine.

Point four:
If you have not noticed previously, that the expression anti-semite, or anti-Semitic is an ever increasingly popular expression, get used to it, it will appear more and more over the coming years as it's used as a political tool to shut people down from a valid argument. If you have the tenacity to disagree with the 'Jewish establishment' on ANY issue, you'll be labelled an anti semite or a 'Jew hater', if you are unfortunate to be European you'll also be labelled a Nazi or a white supremacist.
You are not permitted to question, or oppose the establishment, they will not have it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2601361/Royal-Marine-guilty-murdering-injured-Afghan-fighter-appeal-conviction.html

I feared Taliban would skin me alive, says Marine fighting jail for murder of injured Afghan prisoner

  • Sergeant Alexander Blackman's case heard at Court Martial Appeal Court
  • 39-year-old convicted last November at court martial in Bulford, Wiltshire
  • Was also dismissed from Marines, which he had served with for 15 years
  • Killing was in 2011 while he served with Plymouth-based 42 Commando
 
 

A Royal Marine jailed for life for executing a severely wounded Taliban captive ‘lost his head’ amid fears he would be ‘skinned alive’ if caught by insurgents, a court heard. (Answer me this, how does shooting an injured, unarmed man ensure that you won't get "skinned alive" by his mates? it doesn't, in fact it's guaranteed to make it much more likely!)
Sergeant Alexander Blackman, 39, blasted the Afghan prisoner in the chest at close range with his 9mm pistol in a ‘moment of madness’ on the battlefield. (A moment of madness doesn't have you turn around to your mates when you murder someone and say "Obviously this doesn’t go anywhere, fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention".
Blackman – known as Marine A at his trial – is serving a minimum of ten years in prison after becoming the first UK serviceman to be found guilty of murder in a warzone since the Second World War.

Yesterday he launched a legal bid for freedom by having his conviction quashed or sentence reduced.
The experienced commando and his men lived in daily fear of being blown up by IEDs or, worse, captured and mutilated by inhumane enemy fighters, senior judges were told. (Lets face it, if this 'experienced commando' "lived in daily fear of being blown up by IEDs or, worse, captured and mutilated by inhumane enemy fighters" he wasn't much of a bloody asset to the British Army was he? That description sounds more like what you would hear of from a Hostage, not an active battle hardened Soldier)
Anthony Berry QC, representing Blackman, told the Court Martial Appeal Court the Marine had succumbed to ‘extreme stress’ after a gruelling tour of Helmand.
He said: ‘There was a cocktail of circumstances which led this brave and modest man, to whom loyal duty and allegiance to the corps was second to nothing, briefly to lose his head.

‘The task and stress of leadership is considerable when you hear and see your comrades (Comrades...again?) being killed (It's a fact then that this guy has ACTUALLY witnessed his Army pals KIA?)… and how they fear being caught by Taliban insurgents and knowing what they would do, namely skinning them alive, cutting off their testicles and displaying body parts in trees as a warning to other forces.’


Mr Berry said the conviction was ‘inherently unsafe’ because a seven-man military board was permitted to find him guilty on a simple majority.
He said the odds were stacked unfairly against the Marine at the court martial which meant the conviction failed to ‘satisfy the criminal standard of proof’, and argued the sentence was ‘manifestly excessive’.


The judge at his court martial had not taken into account his patrol ‘remained in hostile territory and knew of further insurgents in the immediate vicinity’.
As well as being jailed, Blackman was dismissed with disgrace from the Marines after he had served with distinction for 15 years, including tours of Iraq, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. (So we can be confident in the presumption that after 15 years in the Army, and various 'Theatres of War' that he was 'Battle hardened' then?)
Urging the three judges to reduce the ten-year term, Mr Berry said: ‘His career is over. (Well what a bloody shame, but he MURDERED someone, someone who didn't get the pleasure of 'a day in court' to prove what was claimed about him was true!)
His reputation and standing is lost and the loss of the comradeship is perhaps the most significant punishment for him to bear.
‘He is a normal citizen, tainted only by the impact of war.’(He is far from a 'Normal citizen' a previous sentence cleared that up)
Blackman, from Taunton, Somerset, killed the injured insurgent following a fierce firefight on September 15, 2011.
The captive had been hurt by cannon fire from an Apache helicopter after an attack on a British base in Helmand.
Recordings from a helmet-mounted camera worn by a comrade captured the moments when Blackman shot the prisoner and told him: ‘Shuffle off this mortal coil, you ****.’

He then told his comrades: ‘Obviously this doesn’t go anywhere, fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention.’
In November, he was convicted of murder.
Sentencing Blackman, who served with Plymouth-based 42 Commando, Judge Advocate General Jeff Blackett said he had ‘tarnished the reputation’ of the Armed Forces. 


But the severity of the sentence sparked a massive wave of support with more than 100,000 people, including MPs and senior military figures, calling for leniency. (A massive waive of support?...really?...not that bloody massive given there are over 60 million bloody people in the UK <puts that into perspective a little doesn't it?>)
 
Blackman’s wife Claire, 42, was at the hearing but said she would not comment until after the court gives its decision. 


Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, Sir Brian Leveson and Lady Justice Hallett are expected to rule after Easter on whether or not the conviction can stand.


What really gets my 'juices flowing' is not just the 'piece' published by the Mail, but the seriously deluded idiots that leave comments such as:
"Give that man a Royal Pardon and a Medal. It is because of people like Alex Blackman that fight battles on our behalf, that we can live in Peace."
The comment poster must be a fully paid up member of the Government, or a complete fool.

Mount (H)Elena

Woman, 46, who survived being crushed between two cars tells of terrifying moment Volkswagen Golf ploughed through wall at 70mph and pinned her against own vehicle

  • Elena Berek was cleaning her car outside her home in Coventry last month
  • Suddenly a stolen VW Golf smashed through her garden wall and left her pinned between two cars as the driver ran away
  • Ms Berek had to be freed by firefighters and taken to hospital
  • 'I can't believe I got out alive,' the businesswoman says after her ordeal
A woman who was crushed between two cars has spoken her shock at being hit by a stolen Volkswagen Golf as she was cleaning her own convertible in the drive of her home.  
Elena Berek suffered a broken leg and smashed pelvis in the crash - but she could have been much more badly injured as bricks from the garden wall flew towards her head.  
In the aftermath of the horrendous accident, she assumed that the driver would help her, but instead he tried to reverse the car and ended up running away.

Ms Berek, 46, was cleaning her Chrysler Crossfire (Good old US Chrysler) outside her home in Coventry on a Sunday morning last month when she saw a black (? Sayin nowt!) Golf (VW Golf, ya know, the GERMAN CAR) heading towards her at 70mph (There was a Speed camera that can prove this then I presume?)
The car smashed through her garden wall and hurtled into another vehicle, which careered into Ms Berek so she had to be freed by firefighters. (Whilst her Brother stood by and took photo's of his sister in agony, and, for all he knew; close to death?)
'I can't quite believe how dramatic it was,' she said. 'One minute I was washing my car and the next thing I was completely trapped. It could have been fatal and I just can't believe I got out alive.  
'The driver was completely out of control. I was forced over the front of the bonnet and bricks from the garden wall came flying just over my head. The bricks missed me by just a few centimetres. I was so lucky. (So we can deduce that while she was being hit by the evil VW, she took notice of how far the bricks were near to her head?) 
'I saw the driver from a sideways angle and hoped he was going to come and help me, but after he couldn't re-start the car, he turned and fled on foot. (Was he wearing WW2 military attire by any chance?)
'It was an early Sunday morning so none of my neighbours were around to see it. I was jammed between the two cars and shaking like a leaf.' 
Drama: The incident was caught on camera by Ms Berek's brother Tony after she accidentally phoned him

Emergency services battled for an hour to free Ms Berek, in shocking scenes captured on camera by her brother Tony.  
She said: 'I was actually texting Tony at the time but the crash caused me to accidentally call him. All he could hear was my screaming and he rushed over within minutes.  
'I couldn't feel any pain at first but as soon as I was freed by the fire crews it all kicked in. It was a miracle I got out alive. I just remember screaming my lungs out for help.'  
Ms Berek's partner Maggie (Ahhhh, all becomes clear, it was a right wing Nazi in a Nazi german VW, the colour gave it away really didn't it....sinister and all) (Good job, Russia don't make Cars that are popular), 59, who runs a green energy firm with her, was inside their home at the time of the crash.  
'I was inside doing the ironing when I heard this huge explosion,' she said. 'All I could hear was Elena screaming my name. (Hopefully not the first time that's happened eh Maggie?...know what I mean?..nudge nudge!)
'At first I thought a bomb had gone off, it was terrifying but my only thought was to go to Elena (Well I'd be surprised if your first thought would be to sit down and watch EastEnders <Silly billy>). I ran outside and it was carnage - she was trapped between the two cars.'

The businesswoman has spent three weeks at Coventry's University Hospital recovering from a severely broken leg, fractured in three places, and a shattered pelvis.  
Police are still hunting for the motorist who apparently stole the Golf and then fled the scene of the accident - he is described as a white man in his early 20s with black hair (Small moustache under his nose?).  
'It could have been so much worse so I am trying to stay positive about my injuries, but it is going to be at least six weeks before I can put any weight on my leg,' Ms Berek said.  
'The pictures my brother took are so dramatic and I can't believe they are real when I look at them.  
'I'm very lucky and everyone has been so helpful and rallied around me.'

Summary:
It is reported:

This incident occurred just a month ago.

Elena spent three weeks in Hospital due to her injuries. 
(See photo 2 below)









Injuries: Ms Berek was forced to spend three weeks in hospital with a broken leg and pelvis

Presumably the photo below was taken following her release from Hospital? (Notice the grazing to her Knee area, and it looks like she may have had 'highlights' put in her hair while in hospital also)

Getting better: Ms Berek, who runs a green energy company, acknowledges she is lucky not to be worse hurt


Possibly a week after her release from Hospital, no grazing: healed really quickly that. And she must have dyed her hair in the interim period. (Managed to fit a lot in hasn't she?)


Relief: 'I am trying to stay positive', says Ms Berek in the aftermath of her ordeal



Ultimately, most people with such an injury would likely by handed a set of crutches, so why Elena needs to get around in a Wheelchair I've no idea.

Pass the Soap! Mactavish


 

I initially saw this story run on the BBC News channel, and after doing so; quickly formed the opinion that someone had let off a 'Stink-Bomb'. The young chap who was 'Shot in the neck' appeared with the Guy who gave him medical attention, which in turn allowed him to continue being a participant in the "Firefight" (Really dramatic isn't it).

My point here being that there appears to be no visible scarring on this chaps neck, that would go some way to prove that what is reported to have occurred, has in fact occurred.

The other thing that concerns me is the amount of images and video that is provided in order to give some legitimacy to this story. I mean is it common practice to have a videographer and someone with an 'SLR' camera with every Army unit on active deployment overseas? because if you watch the video that accompanies this story, you can clearly hear the noise of such a still camera, taking numerous images.

If the Videographer and the SLR 'person' were presumably in situ the whole time, then I would safely presume that they would have a lot more footage than what is provided as support to this story.

 

Shot in the neck, but hero soldier carried on the Taliban firefight: Lance Corporal who battled on for 90 minutes despite injury is among 117 servicemen awarded medals for gallantry in latest operational honours list

  • Servicemen and women were honoured at the latest Operational Honours and Awards
  • Lance Corporal Simon Moloney was shot in the neck during a dawn raid
  • With blood spilling over his throat the machine gunner fought on
  • Medic Lance Corporal Wesley Masters patched him up 'saving his life'
  • Lance Corporal Moloney said: 'We had to crack on. They were pushing quite hard so it was either maybe die or definitely die'

Shot in neck, with blood spilling over his throat (Looks more like it was applied as opposed to naturally 'spilling out' as you would expect from a bullet entry/exit wound), machine-gunner Simon Moloney knew he had to return to the fight or his comrades would be over-run by the Taliban So, we can safely deduce that 'our Simon the Hero' considers his 'Comrades' fu**ing useless without him?).
So, just minutes after thinking he had been fatally wounded (Ahumm, if he was fatally wounded he wouldn't be thinking anything would he?), he was back in the heat of battle and helping to repel a ferocious attack (After watching the video, it didn't sound too bloody ferocious to me, they were doing all the shooting).
He only quit 90 minutes later after being ordered to by his commanding officer.

Lance Corporal Moloney’s heroism – and that of medic Wesley Masters who patched him up so he could keep fighting – was revealed as the two friends (Hmmm) were awarded medals in the operational honours list, published today.
They are among 117 servicemen and women who received awards for gallantry. Most go to troops who served with 1 Mechanized Brigade in Afghanistan between April and October last year.
The two men were among 12 British soldiers taking part in a pre-dawn raid (pre-dawn raid?, the time on Nurse Betty's watch was about 6:35 by the looks of it, and Sunrise in that part of the world is 06:15, so they must have been there for a while) on the Taliban in their stronghold of Yakshal in Helmand province on July 4 last year.
Lance Corporal Moloney, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, and another machine-gunner were covering a patrol from the roof of a mud-walled compound (Hang on....compounds don't have a bloody roof, they'd be called buildings if they did).
At around 6am the battlefield ‘just erupted’ (Ahh there we go) with as many as 30 insurgents opening fire from all around, he said. Minutes later he was struck by a tracer round (NOT a regular old bullet, a TRACER ROUND!!) which hurled him from the roof (He fell off you mean?, not very well trained in 'cover techniques' is he).
Lance Corporal Moloney, 23, said: ‘It winded me like I’ve never been winded (Yup, you mentioned that earlier, is this story aimed at those with memory problems or is he suffering from PWSD). I was thinking, “I’ve been shot in the neck, it’s game over”. I figured I had minutes left.’ (GAME OVER, wait, no hang on, I respawn to continue the fight!!)

‘When after a couple of minutes I was not dead and I could still talk I started to get a better feeling,’ he said. ‘We had to crack on. They were pushing quite hard (fnarr) so it was either maybe die or definitely die because they would have over-run us (Definitely, Maybe?).’

Acting with selfless disregard for his own life and disregarding orders (That's Hollywood influence for ya, "Never leave a man behind!"), Lance Corporal Masters dashed across open ground under heavy fire while carrying 60kg of equipment (Thick 2@ never thought to 'drop his load'?-They're doing it so I will too!!) to reach his fallen friend (I thought 'Fallen' in a Military context meant DEAD? or do you literally mean fallen, in as he's a clumsy cnut?).
The soldier, from Somerset, said he was forced to improvise with field dressings because ‘you don’t normally expect someone to survive a shot to the neck’ (He doesn't normally carry Gauze covered cotton wool then?).
He said: ‘But he [Moloney] said to me, “Do what you need to do, I have to get back in” (Back into the protective shelter of the compound I presume).’
Lance Corporal Moloney said: ‘As soon as Wes came I was completely at ease – I was quite happy then, that I was going to survive and that he had it in the bag.’ (Homo innuendo anyone?-sounds like a line from a bloody Carry on film!)
Despite his throat injury, Lance Corporal Moloney continued shouting critical information (Such as????) to his comrades (Wodka!) which enabled them to win the firefight. 
Even when a helicopter arrived to evacuate him (So the Helicopter only recovered him alone then? please do elaborate), he had to be ordered to get aboard rather than staying in the battle (Isn't that what you do in the Armed Forces, await and follow orders?).
He returned to Britain for treatment but was back on the frontline less than a month later. (Awww bless! He's one of ours alright!!pfft)

Lance Corporal Moloney, of the Blues and Royals, receives the Conspicuous (Suspicious more like!) Gallantry Cross – the UK’s second-highest award for valour – and Lance Corporal Masters, 25, of the Royal Army Medical Corps, won a Military Cross.
A woman soldier who saved the lives of two colleagues after their vehicle was blown up by a suicide bomb (Bastards those 'Suicide Bombs' they've no remorse at all, much worse than those 'Suicide bombers') received a Queen’s Commendation for Bravery.
Lance Corporal Sinead Dodds, 21, helped the injured driver of the Mastiff and then dragged her wounded commanding officer to safety from the wrecked vehicle and began giving him first aid after the blast in Helmand (WHAT! NO PICTURES?).

OH! ....

AND DID I MENTION THAT THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY?

Don't you just love 'em!
Needless to say, the opening lines say it all, in terms of contradictions.


Obama observers shot at in Ukraine: 40 gunmen in balaclavas fire bullets above monitors before withdrawing so Kremlin can build up forces

  • International observers were turned back by pro-Russian soldiers in Crimea

The crisis in Ukraine deepened last night as warning shots were fired at international observers seeking to monitor the rapidly growing Russian military build-up in Crimea. (Oh dear!)
Forty gunmen in balaclavas and military fatigues aimed warning shots above a car leading a convoy of 57 unarmed civilian and military observers from the Organisation of Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). (So, they fired shots OVER this car, and not directly at the observers?)
At least three shots were fired from automatic weapons and although no one was injured, the incident was seen as a dangerous widening of the conflict. (Three shots!...Really?...Three bloody shots from a total of 40 'Gunmen in Balaclavas'....Well, all I can say is they may look intimidating but obviously looks are deceiving!)

The observers retreated for the third day in a row, with the Kremlin evidently not prepared to allow them to witness the accumulation of Russian weaponry which some Ukrainians fear could eventually be used in a full-scale invasion.
And in a separate incident, a Ukrainian border patrol plane came under fire while flying near Crimea yesterday.

No one was hurt, according to Ukranian officials who reported the incident.
They said the Diamond light aircraft, with three crew, was on an observation mission. It was not immediately clear where the gunfire came from.

The OSCE’s failure to gain access is a setback for US President Barack Obama who had seen the organisation as a means of defusing tension in the region.
In Russia, the observers were subjected to a propaganda blitz, with TV bulletins describing them as NATO stooges who had been invited to Ukraine by the new interim government in Kiev, which Moscow does not recognise as legitimate. (And neither would any other Government that had a brain, unless they had 'put them in power' that is)
In a further dangerous development, Russian troops encroached beyond Crimea, threatening a village in the Kherson region, which borders the Crimean peninsular.
A Ukrainian TV station reported that parents in Chonbar had banned their children from going to school because ‘the muzzles of the Russian APCs (armoured personnel carriers) are directed right at the centre of the village’. (No photo or Video evidence then?)

Residents raised Ukrainian flags above their homes in protest at the Russian incursion.
The Ukrainian army also claimed that about 200 military vehicles, some with Russian licence plates, had been seen heading into eastern Crimea in one of the biggest troop movements since the crisis began.
One 60-vehicle convoy, which included field kitchens, was followed to a military airfield at Gvardeiskoye, near Simferopol, the Crimean capital, with armed soldiers visible in the back.
The conflict in Ukraine is so far bloodless but there are fears one mistake ('Mistake' is code for MI5, Mossad or CIA operatives having fun) could tip it into a war on the doorstep of the European Union.

Poland yesterday evacuated its consulate in Sevastopol due to ‘continuing disturbances by Russian forces’.
In Donetsk and Kharkiv protesters gathered in their thousands to demand a Crimean-style referendum on leaving Ukraine.
They carried Russian and Soviet flags, chanting:  ‘Russia! Referendum! Kharkiv!’ and holding banners reading ‘NATO-No!’
In Moscow, state-run TV reports were engaged in a propaganda blitz over Ukraine. (And this piece is not propaganda, I repeat, NOT PROPAGANDA)
Their bulletins were full of phrases such as ‘Nazi gangs’ and ‘militants’ to describe the pro-Western Kiev authorities and the ‘threat’ they pose to eastern regions. (They most certainly appear to be what the Russians are inferring: NAtionalistZIonist gangs)

Last night, Moscow was accused of sending thousands of undercover agents into Ukraine to stir up unrest in regions not yet under Russian control.
Dubbed ‘Putin’s tourists’, they pose as wedding guests or relatives of Ukrainian citizens, but when their luggage is searched at the border, a different and more menacing story emerges.
At one checkpoint in the north-eastern Kharkiv region last week, a group of visitors who claimed they were on their way to a friend’s wedding were found to be carrying camouflage uniforms, masks, knives, gas sprays and Russian newspaper reports on the political situation in Ukraine, according to a spokesman for the state border service in Kiev.
Before being sent back into Russia, the men admitted they had been hired by a Moscow-based private security agency.

Around 2,000 ‘agents provocateur’ – some carrying arms – have been stopped at the border but it is thought many more might already have infiltrated across the porous 1,500-mile frontier between the two countries. (Maybe they're those pleasant CIA/MI5/Mossad backed rebels who are apparently withdrawing from Syria?)
Border force spokesman Oleksandr Zhdanenko said there were ‘strong suspicions’ the infiltrators’ aim was to deepen the political crisis by encouraging pro-Russian agitation in areas of the country outside Crimea, which is already largely under Moscow’s control.
Meanwhile, Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine’s former prime minister, was last night receiving medical treatment at Berlin’s Charite hospital.
Doctors said it was too soon to say how long the treatment will take and what lasting damage the 53-year-old might have from three slipped discs she suffered while in prison.
Tymoshenko arrived in the German capital Friday night. (He doesn't stand a chance then does he? not if the 'Gerrie' NAZI's have hold of him, they'll likely pull Dr. Mengele out of storage to experiment on him)
