Dear friends!

Russia has carried out an act of aggression towards Ukraine. Russian troops have entered Crimea. Thus we take it upon ourselves to inform you about the events in Ukraine. We will provide you with yet another viewpoint regarding this conflict. We will do our best to remain fair and objective.

April 20 – Three people have died and another three have been wounded as a result of an armed attack on a blockhouse in Sloviansk (Donetsk oblast). Ukrainian authorities believe that this provocation can be traced back to Russia. Russia is blaming this attack on members of “Pravyi Sektor”, which is a small team uniting Ukrainian right-wing group and which became famous thanks to Russian television. “Pravyi Sektor” has stated that they were not involved in the Sloviansk incident.

April 20 – Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that he is “outraged” by the armed incident that occurred in Sloviansk and is calling for further negotiations with Ukrainian authorities. Russia’s Foreign Ministry issued an absurd statement concerning “evidence”, which in their opinion “proves” Pravyi Sektor’s involvement in Sloviansk shootings. Internet users have mocked this statement heavily – they believe that it is another provocation by Russia.

April 20 – Even if there is a resolution to the current standoff over Crimea and eastern Ukraine, US President Barack Obama will never have a constructive relationship with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. President Obama is focused on isolating Russia by cutting off its economic and political ties to the outside world, limiting its expansionist ambitions and effectively making it a pariah state.
