Title: Easter Night Attack by Extremists kills Protestors at Eastern Ukraine (Slaviansk
Post by: Ivan on April 22, 2014, 02:00:38 AM
Christian Easter Night hit by Deadly Extremists' attack killing 3 Protestors at Eastern Ukraine (Slovjansk) despite Geneva Agreement

By a macabre surprise, it's during the Holy Christian Easter Night, and just after the International Geneva Agreement for a Peaceful Solution in Ukraine, that at least 3 Federalist Demonstrators were reportedly Killed, and several others Wounded, after an Armed Attack by a Group of Ukranian Extremists at Slowjansk, a city of the Donetsk Region in Eastern Ukraine, where Popular Revolts have notroriously multiplied recently in reaction to the Power-shift at Kiev after the February 2014 popular revolts and other incidents at Maidan square.

According to the International Geneva Agreement's official Statement of last Thursday,  April 17, 2014 : "... All sides must refrain from any violence, intimidation or provocative actions. The participants strongly condemned and rejected all expressions of extremism, ....", while also "All illegal armed groups must be disarmed...."

For that purpose, "... the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission should play a leading role in assisting Ukrainian authorities and local communities in the  immediate implementation of these de-escalation measures wherever they are needed most, beginning in the coming days. The US, E.U. and Russia commit to support this mission, ..."
But, as even the German version of "Wikipedia" observes, Slowjansk has become, these last few Days, "a Center of "anti-Terrorist Special Operations by the Ukranian Army", as the those currently in power at Kiev named them.

Several Eyewitnesses on the spot are reported by several media to have denounced the fact that it's precisely at around 01 a.m. local time, i.e. just an Hour after the notoriously most important moment in the Orthodox Christian Religious litourgy for Easter : the anonciatoins of Christ's Resurrection, that a Group of Armed Extremists, including apparently  the "Ukranian Right Sector" according to material Evidence found afterwards, attacked a Road check post held then by unarmed Demonstrators protecting the City, and immediately killed one of them, while another one was killed by "Snipers" when he got out of a Forest where they survivants were obliged to hide in order to try to save their lives. Afterwards, when an Armed Group of Demonstrators was called to Help defend that Post, at least one among the Attackers was killed, while the others run away, abandoning some of their Cars, which were later burned by protestors angry for that sly Deadly Aggression at Easter Night, during which Bullets were from the start fired against Protestors even without saying anything to them.

The Ukranian Police has reportedly acknowledged the Death of at least 3 Persons, as well as the fact that many others were Wounded after that Holy Religious Night's armed attack, contrary to the Ukranian Authorities' official promise that at least during the Holy Easter's weekend, a Truce would be respected by all.

Strong protests by the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov for that unwarned violent Deadly Attack in Violation of the Geneva Agreement, were reportedly met just with USA's State Secretary Kerry's demand from Russia to implement its supposed part of that deal, without even mentioning the aggression at Slowjensk.

The city (spelled also : "Slavyansk") was, according to the French version of "Wikipedia", occupied by the NAZI Invasion Army between 1941-1943, and hosts a "Monument to those killed" during popular Resistance, but it also voted more than 90% for former President of Ukraine Yanukovich, ousted after the February 2014 Deadly incidents at Kiev and currently a Refugee at nearby Russia, despite a previous Agreement with the Leaders of the former Opposition, sponsored by 3 EU Foreign Ministers, which was never applied until now.

It's there that a group of 6 Armoured Vehicles of the Ukranian Military refused to attack the Demonstrators when the Ukranian Soldiers switched to the side of the Popular Protests, giving them their arms and vehicles, creating a famous surprise at the eve of Geneva Talks. Moreover, meanwhile, the Sloviansk demonstrators were the first to get these same days access to a Radio-TV Media, which is of crucial importance because of the Propapanda War currently unfolding between the two sides, while efforts have grown to start a meaningful and peaceful political "Dialogue".
