Russia still has not received an answer from the United Nations concerning the May tragedy in the Ukrainian city of Odessa
Russia still has not received an answer from the United Nations concerning the May tragedy in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told RIA Novosti in an interview.

"We raised the questions on Odessa, Mariupol, and other subjects at the Security Council meetings. Unfortunately, we have not received a proper answer on the investigation of those incidents. We hope to get some kind of a clear explanation. But so far, we have to state that we have had no such reaction," Gatilov said.

The diplomat added that Russia had also brought up the issue of the use of helicopters with the UN insignia in the Kiev special operation in the east of the country. The UN has not informed Russia on the course of the investigation of this issue, either, he said.

Comment: Kiev was supposed to smash the Ukrainians' will, implementing austerity for the IMF and providing NATO another link in the chain to bind Russia. Yet despite Kiev's cowardly, "burn them all" terrorist campaign the people pushed back, hard.

Though there may not be an official investigation, here are many of the available facts concerning the Odessa massacre:

U.S. President Barack Obama, right, talks with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the alliance's summit in Wales this week. Scientists say the result will be more dead men, women, and children.
A revitalized NATO is already facing its first test of Russian aggression, on the same day it wrapped up its critical summit in Wales.


Comment: Apparently NATO became "revitalized" by coming up with more of the same lies:

- Dissecting West's propaganda of Russian aggression


Russian agents have crossed the border into Estonia, a NATO country, and detained a police officer, according to the Estonian government.

"We should see it... as a demonstration on behalf of Russia that provocations have started," Estonia's ambassador to Canada told Evan Solomon on CBC Radio's The House.

Comment: Likely the West spent some time wondering how it could use ISIS against Russia:

- ISIS knows no bounds, threatens Putin, Caliphate in Cechnya
- The Covert Origins of ISIS

Ceasefire? According to a Spanish volunteer Poroshenko plans to restart the war


RT
Sat, 06 Sep 2014 07:01 UTC

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has announced ceasefires before and was always the first to violate them, Spanish volunteer Ramiro Gomez, who fought in eastern Ukraine against the troops of the coup-imposed Kiev government, told RT.

According to the European volunteer, this ceasefire is in effect a part of Poroshenko's strategy: "to reorganize the [Ukrainian] army which is already a large number, before a general counteroffensive by Lugansk and Donetsk [forces]," Ramiro Gomez told RT.


Comment: If that's the plan then the ceasefire ultimately benefits the Kiev regime. It will help them to avoid a complete defeat.


"They [Ukrainian forces] look sort of kicked out to the sidelines of the game," he said, adding he personally has little expectations of a successful ceasefire.

Moscow has accused NATO of using the Ukrainian crisis as a "pretext" to "push its military presence closer to Russia's borders," and says that plans for a new rapid response force will sabotage the peace process in eastern Ukraine.

"The [expansion] plans have been harbored by NATO for a long time, and recent events have served as a pretext to put them into action," said a statement published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website, following the wrapping up of the NATO summit in Wales.

"Together with the rhetoric at the summit, and the planned military exercises before the end of the year, this will increase tension, destabilization the nascent peace process, and further widen the division in Ukraine," the ministry's statement said.

"The above is also testament to NATO's unconditional support for the extremists and neo-fascists in Kiev, including the Right Sector political movement," it stressed.

NATO beating the drums of war (again), not Russia

NATO's special war drum
For the West's masters of war, it's a good time to be in Wales. A military alliance that has struggled for years to explain why it still exists has a packed agenda for its Newport summit.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) may not be at the centre of Barack Obama and David Cameron's plans to ramp up intervention in the Middle East and wipe Isis "out of existence". But after 13 years of bloody occupation of Afghanistan and a calamitous intervention in Libya, the Western alliance at last has an enemy that seems to fit its bill.

Swinging through the former Soviet republic of Estonia this week, the US president declared that Nato was ready to defend Europe from "Russian aggression".

Nato's secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen - who insisted as Danish prime minister in 2003 that "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction ... we know" - has released satellite images supposed to demonstrate that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Not to be outdone, the British prime minister has compared Vladimir Putin with Hitler.

Today in Cardiff, Wales, NATO agreed to provide $15 million to the Ukrainian government for "cyberdefense, logistics, rehabilitating soldiers injured by the rebels, and command, communications and control capabilities."

The government in Kiev has waged war against several regions in eastern Ukraine that have sought to break away from the west after a US-backed coup in February.

Though NATO reportedly was unable to muster unanimous support among member states for direct, lethal military aid to Kiev, several NATO member countries are reported to have concluded bi-lateral agreements to provide high-precision rifles and other weapons to their western allies in Ukraine's civil war.

Sounding increasingly hysterical today, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Tweeted that

Economic World War waged against Russia and the BRICS alliance is based upon miscalculations of the Anglo-Zionist-American group think. Sanctions purported to be instruments in response to escalations of the Ukrainian crisis depicted as opening of new fronts and use of Russian regular forces. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso underlined in a news conference in Brussels after his meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko Saturday. That sanction's "are not an aim in themselves" but an "instrument" to show the Russian leadership the current situation "is not acceptable and we urge them to come to reason, to work constructively."


Comment: Reason according to U.S. and it's vassal states of Europe: provoking a fake revolution in Ukraine, overthrowing the government, installing a puppet regime, staging false-flag attacks and constantly lying and spreading propaganda.

Warning to the world: Washington and its NATO & EU vassals are insane


Elegant oratory in the face of Western propaganda demonizing Vladimir Putin and defacing of the Russian society's political intelligence concludes with the simplicity of "show me the evidence of Russia's wrongdoing!" Setting aside the West's failure to provide credible proof sufficient to indict the Russian people or attack the character of their President, Vladimir Putin. One is forced to consider that in spite of the insanity inherent their foreign policies these people are not retarded. There is cold calculation and many years of psychological operational studies to support the brainwashing of the masses in order to set the stage for the gobbling up of national resources and regime change.

Boomerang effect of Western destabilization of the world

The European powers, and their fledgling, the USA, spent centuries colonizing the world, invading territories, destroying societies, massacring peoples, stealing resources, then barring entry into Europe and the USA against the people they colonized; today they use terrorists to further their interest, continue to disrespect local customs and then complain when things go wrong.

This is not a time for naming and blaming because it is obvious who is to blame for the dangerous situation we find ourselves in, this is not a time for hate articles because there is enough of that in the world we wake up in every morning. It is time for reflection and action, rather than diatribes; it is time for togetherness, not division.

The Great Patriotic War (Second World War) was supposed to be the war to end all wars, after tens of millions of children, men and women lost their lives. The flash that sparked off this war, like the First World War, had as its foundations Nationalism, or the claim that one nation/people is superior to others.

It is too late for decentralization, as E. Ukraine's self-defense forces want full independence from Kiev after its bloody military campaign, international law expert Alexander Mercouris told RT. Kiev now needs a ceasefire because it's losing, he argued.

On Friday, Kiev officials and representatives of the two self-proclaimed republics in southeastern Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire as the contact group met behind closed doors in Belarus.

Commenting on the ceasefire, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said: "We are ready to provide the significant steps, including decentralization of power."

However, following the deaths and damage caused by Kiev's military offensive, Mercouris believes that decentralization is no longer an option for Eastern Ukrainians.

The CIA and Associated Press intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian regularly collaborated on stories promoting the spy agency's image, according to a report by The Intercept. Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show how during his time with the Los Angeles Times, Ken Dilanian worked with the agency to more positively portray CIA actions, at times explicitly promising positive news coverage, according to the report. RT's Lindsay France digs into the newly revealed documents to explore the depth of the relationship.
