"The two so-called 'people's republics' in Donetsk and Lugansk regions are terrorist organizations, which have a clear hierarchy, financing, and channels of weapons supplies," Ukraine's deputy prosecutor general, Nikolay Golomsha, said.
Comment: Where's a facepalm when you need one? We know psychopaths are notorious for blaming others for what they themselves are doing -- e.g., establishing a terrorist organization they call a government, with a clear hierarchy (picked by Western politicians), financing (from Western governments and organizations), and channels of weapons (soon to come from the US of A) -- but this is ridiculous. At least the U.S. and Israel have the courtesy of manufacturing a plausible facade when they want to pull one over on the world public: false-flag ops, patsies, bearded bogeymen threatening Western values on grainy low-fi digital videos. The Kiev loonies can't be bothered to do even that! Instead, they skip right to the punchline, declaring obviously innocent people 'terrorists' without any of the necessary prep work.
The statement confirmed a similar statement made by Ukraine's minister of justice, Pavel Petrenko. The minister said the two "were created for assaulting people, intimidation, sabotage, terrorist attacks, beatings, and murder of our citizens."
Comment: Psycho-speak translation: "Our joke of a government was create to assault you, the people who refuse to lick our boots; to intimidate you into toeing the party line; to sabotage your attempts at self-determination; to terrorize you; to beat you; to murder you. Just like we did in Mariupol and Odessa. And just like we'll continue to do until you submit."
Criminal cases have been launched to investigate the "formation of the terrorist organizations."
On Friday, Golomsha stressed that the General Prosecutor's Office has managed to reveal channels through which weapons are being supplied to Donetsk and Lugansk.
On May 11, the Ukrainian regions held referendums and voted for self-rule. Kiev and Western countries condemned the ballots, calling them illegal.
Comment: Psycho-speak translation: "We own you. We decide what you can and cannot do. You have no recourse to the law, because we create the law. And we'll continue to murder your mothers, daughters, sons, and brothers until you submit."
Kiev has intensified its military crackdown in the region, deploying tanks, APCs and helicopters. It formed paramilitary forces which are now on the ground in Donetsk and Lugansk regions as part of an "anti-military operation."
The self-proclaimed republics are demanding the withdrawal of Kiev fighters which continue to clash with local self-defense units.
The deadline for an ultimatum issued by the Donetsk People's Republic, which demanded that Kiev pull out its troops, passed on Friday.
A deputy commander of the pro-autonomy militia of Donbass, Sergey Zdrilyuk, said on May 15 that all Ukrainian armed forces had 24 hours to withdraw their armored vehicles and checkpoints from around "Donetsk, Mariupol, and other cities."
He threatened to "destroy and burn down all of this" if the demand was not met. However, Kiev's forces still remain in the region. According to the Donetsk People's Republic, the troops were enlarged following the ultimatum.
Comment: Readers of SOTT, and people in general with an iota of political awareness, should be extremely grateful to the Kiev junta. With increasing frequency, their statements cross the border of nonsense and into the realm of complete and utter absurd idiocy. Thankfully, Kiev's bumbling ineptitude reveals what SOTT has been saying for years: the real terrorists are the ones calling others terrorists. In this case, the truth couldn't be more obvious.
