Ukraine's Right Sector leader Dmitry Yarosh said his radical movement rejects the Minsk peace deal and that their paramilitary units in eastern Ukraine will continue "active fighting" according to their "own plans."
The notorious ultranationalist leader published a statement on his Facebook page Friday, saying that his radical Right Sector movement doesn't recognize the peace deal, signed by the so-called 'contact group' on Thursday and agreed upon by Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia after epic 16-hour talks.
Yarosh claimed that any agreement with the eastern militia, whom he calls "terrorists," has no legal force.
In his statement, Yarosh claimed that that the Minsk deal is contrary to Ukraine's constitution, so Ukrainian citizens are not obliged to abide by it. Thus if the army receives orders to cease military activity and withdraw heavy weaponry from the eastern regions, the Right Sector paramilitaries, who are also fighting there "reserve the right" to continue the war, he said.
The Right Sector paramilitary organization continues to deploy its combat and reserve units, to train and logistically support personnel, while coordinating its activities with the military command of the Ukrainian army, paramilitary units of the Defense Ministry and the Interior Ministry, he said.
The breakthrough Minsk agreement was reached on Thursday following marathon overnight negotiations between Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia, and offer hope the fighting in Eastern Ukraine may come to an end. The talks were part of a Franco-German initiative. President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Kiev and Moscow before meeting the Russian and Ukrainian leaders at the negotiating table in Minsk.
Bluntly rejecting the German and French initiative, Yarosh said President Petro Poroshenko should have turned to the US or UK which "observe a consistent anti-Kremlin policy."
Comment: Well, he's right about that!
In January, Russia's Supreme Court banned the activities of the Right Sector within the country. In July last year the Interpol put Right Sector leader Yarosh on its wanted list.
The radical movement was formed as a coalition of nationalist and neo-Nazi organizations during the Maidan protests in Kiev at the end of 2013.
..... Mr Yarosh is NOT being 'prompted' by his CIA handlers to do and say this, eh? No, he's just a loose cannon that cannot be controlled. He certainly could never be assassinated if the CIA decided he was a 'liability'. They've never done THAT before.
Yeah, right!
Talk about utterly ridiculous Kabuki theatre! This whole 'peace process' in the Ukraine is simply the most disgusting joke I've ever seen. The Russians make the Rebels give up all that they fought and died for, and for what? Hollow promises from Kiev? Who are they kidding? Every previous promise that Kiev made was broken in MINUTES after making! And the same immediately happened here again. BIG surprise, eh?
Taking the 'moral high road' all the way to hell in a zionist-anglo alliance provide basket is utter stupidity. The Russians need to remember the morals and parallels from WW2, to avoid WW3: NEVER, EVER TRY TO APPEASE A FASCIST!
And make no mistake about it, the zionist-anglo alliance and their Kiev Junta are FASCISTS!
This Minsk Accord is just newest act in the on-going Kabuki drama that defines the Ukrainian situation. The citizens of the Donbass will pay the bloody price again and again, just as they have all along. What they will ultimately achieve for their heroic efforts of resistance is likely not what they were expecting.
This will NOT end well.
