Former militia member, participant in the defense of Slavyansk

Ukrainian nationalists tried to turn the Transcarpathian city of Mukachevo into some kind of Slavyansk.

Some time ago, I already wrote that in open information sources of the “Right Sector” there is a statement: a Ukrainian nationalist does not have the right to change the situation in the country in an evolutionary way (for example, through elections), that for a Ukrainian patriot there is only one true path - this is “ national liberation revolution”, which has not yet taken place. Therefore, the rebellion against Poroshenko was programmed, and would have happened anyway, if not in Mukachevo, then in Lutsk or Ternopil, or somewhere else.

The Mukachevo rebellion stems from a banal criminal showdown. By the time it began, the nationalist battalions had already been formed (“PS” claims twenty) and were sufficiently armed. The authorities have managed to sufficiently compromise themselves over the past year – with mistakes and crimes not only towards the residents of Donbass, but also towards their followers. Everything is like the classic of creating revolutions - “the upper classes cannot, but the lower classes do not want to.”

The indicative silence of the EU and the USA. Kyiv’s Western partners, who deal with everything that happens in the political life of Ukraine, have been silent for days. Why is the West so confused? If the opening of a second front in Western Ukraine did not correspond to the interests of America and Europe, then all the levers of diplomacy and pressure from the world media would be used immediately.

And another very significant fact worthy of attention is the first shot, how it happened. In the video from Mukachevo, the doctor who provided medical assistance to the victim indicated that the shot occurred in the crown of the head. Not in the face, not in the chest or stomach, but in the crown. That is, they shot at a man from behind - while he was among a crowd of armed people. What is this, a cold-blooded, deliberate provocation through execution, or are “PS” already such inadequate maniacs that they cannot help but pull the trigger in a conversation in a raised voice? I'm more inclined towards the first option.

It is clear that it is not the truck with smuggled cigarettes, but the authorities in Kyiv that are the real reason for the fighting in Mukachevo and its suburbs. I think that hostilities in Western Ukraine are just beginning and, perhaps, will lead to another change of power in the remnants of Ukraine.

I don’t share the great joy among my comrades, they say, let them destroy themselves there. Unfortunately, this will not happen, most likely, the big scum will take the place of the smaller scum, and then we will return to the same situation, only with a more bloodthirsty and ideologically motivated enemy.
