Five Reported Killed In East Ukraine Following Ultra-nationalist Attack
And to think it was just two days ago when all the USDJPY momentum ignition algos roared to life on flashing headline news of yet another diplomatic "de-escalation" of tensions in Ukraine. What was clearly ignored is that since John Kerry was involved, it was nothing but the latest sham. And the proof came moments ago when Reuters reported, citing Russian state television on Sunday, that five people were killed when Ukraine gunmen attacked a checkpoint manned by pro-Russian separatists near the eastern Ukrainian city of Slaviansk.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the report. Ukraine's Interior Ministry in Kiev could not immediately be reached for comment and Interior Minister Arsen Avakov had no word of the reported incident on his Facebook page, where he usually posts updates on any clashes - perhaps because this one was allegedly started by Ukraine ultra-right nationlists of the Right Sector.
Russia's state-run Rossiya 24 news station, citing its correspondent in Slaviansk, said three of the dead were with the pro-Russian separatists who control Slaviansk, and the other two were from the group which attacked their checkpoint.
The self-declared mayor of Slaviansk, who supports the pro-Russian separatists in the city, said there had been a clash overnight and there were casualties, a Reuters Television team in Slaviansk said.
The fatalities came after a night attack on a protester checkpoint on the outskirts of the city, a Rossiya 24 news channel correspondent reported. Four cars drove by the checkpoint and opened fire at the local residents holding it, killing three people and seriously injuring another one.
A group of protesters, who had firearms unlike those holding the checkpoint, was called from their camp in the city. They opened fire at the attackers, killing two of them, the report said.
The protesters in the confrontation reportedly captured the attackers’ two cars. Firearms, explosives and aerial photos of Slavyansk were discovered there. RIA Novosti cites a doctor at the city’s main hospital as saying that four people with gunshots were brought in overnight.
“Apparently, something serious happened,” the doctor said.
The protesters believe that they were attacked by paramilitary from the Right Sector.
The full report from LifeNews, in Russian, can be seen below:

So if this is not merely another attempt at provocation and indeed the attackers' cars were captured and can be provided as evidence, and it can be verified that it was indeed Ukraine elements who were in breach of the now clearly null and void Geneva agreement, this may just be the escalation that Putin, who last week admitted for the first time the massing of Russian forces at the Ukraine border, will be free and clear to finally roll the tanks across the border purely with intentions to "protect" a "separatists" population which is clearly now targeted by its own government.
* * *
Update: completely in line with expectations, the Ukraine government promptly accused Russia of staging the whole thing. Via Reuters:
Ukraine's police and intelligence service accused Russia of staging a fatal shooting incident on Sunday in which pro-Moscow separatists were killed in the east of the country.
"Armed lawbreakers and saboteurs who are terrorising the local population around Slaviansk ... have turned to cynical provocation," the SBU security service said in a statement, describing the incident as a "staged attack".
No group was present "other than the saboteurs and crime figures, supported and armed by officers of Russia's GRU" military intelligence, the SBU added. The Ukrainian nationalist group Right Sector, blamed by separatists for the shooting, denied involvement and also accused Russian special forces.
Russia has accused Ukraine of failing to protect civilians in the Russian-speaking east and has threatened to intervene on their behalf - as it did before annexing Crimea last month.

As long as the vacuum tubes are happy and pointing upwards, human life is irrelevant and the bwanksers rub their hands in glee
Let's fly a battalion of neocons to the front lines PRONTO: Frum, Kristol, Wolfie, Kagan, Krauthammer... it's not like they're celebrating Easter anyway
Silly squid, those psychopaths have never served and they sure as hell won't start now.
Besides, you need a certain level of emotional and intellectual detachment to move the human chess pieces around the globe. I believe they have reached maximum detachment BTW.
No, they and the rest of the zionist scum will be tried and then sent to the entombment project at Fukushima. Then they can pretend that they are their ancestors who claimed to have built the pyramids (another of the grandests hoaxs in history)and build brick by brick the entombment capsule around the stricken reactors. Then they can leave this world having done one good thing for all of humanity and their souls will have the chance to be cleansed. Radioactively of course.
and send Cheney and Wolfowitz the the very front of the line!! lol

Sorry Mr. Durden, despite your pro-russian imperialism propaganda, thats exactly how it will turn out. As it always does... Only question that remains: Will it be because of "Doshli dengi" (there wasnt enough money) or "Doshli ruki" (statement that pretty much sums up typical russian laziness/shodiness of work)
dublicate.
i'll take a "Doshli ruki" with Style please ... whatever that means ... listening yesterday to some well spoken old man at the coffee shop an expert in russian geopolitics it seems .... amazing people are completely brainwashed and helpless....
yeah well, whats new ... Martin Armstrong seems to know how this World we live in works ... not sure if that is the right approach if you believe in God though
Btw, nice touch with picking the day for the attack ... there are other symbolism from above as well ... the 4 blood moons coming soon near you ...
one down (15 April), 3 incoming. . .
close on the horizon tho' is the 5th exact Uranus in Aries (god of War) square Pluto in Capricorn (god of Death, endings) exact at 13dg. . . Monday 21st April in fact.
and the 13dg Cancer sun of the USA?
why that would be an exact T-square of immense tension building. . .
there will be blood.
Novorossiya!
Hand full of brand new benjamins, recon photos, and an ak all neatly laid out. Shit, you'll never ever know the details of who and what happened. I bet even cia and kgb have a hard time keeping up.
Wonder if our friends in Tel Aviv have a hand in this as well? I'm sure they're feeling a little left out.
"Wonder if our friends in Tel Aviv have a hand in this as well?"
I just assumed that was a given. And I'm pretty sure they're glad to be left out of the propaganda, er I mean news, on it for now.
You forgot the flyer telling Jews they were required to register all of their property. They know the triggers to use to incite their own to action.
@mccvilb,
Indeed, as that flyer turned out to be another "anti-semitic" hoax. Not that 90% of Jews are substantially Semitic anymore.

I especially liked the antique MG42. A nice touch...lol.
its won't be vintage. Its more like that 428 Cobra Replicar with a late madel V6 under the hood
It might help to reinforce that whole Nazi schtik though.
Yeah.
But the object attempting to be portrayed here is right wing/Ukrainian-nazis-nationalists, so the mind goes to nazis attackers, at least mine does, when I see a MG42.
Its hard to follow exactly what happened or truth by the story presented.
I'm expected to believe the occupants of four cars opened fire on a "protesters" checkpoint (a new definition of protester to be sure, but never-the-less) the checkpoint protesters being unarmed (at a checkpoint, for some reason)...called into the city for "protesters" who were armed to come to their aid.
One assumes then, some interval of time elapsed...tick tock tick tock tick tock.
And the attackers never set up the MG42 to mow down the "armed protesters" coming to the "unarmed protesters" at the checkpoint?
I have no idea what happened, I can only see the Potempkin construct placed before me.
so this was not good enough for you??????
http://srbinaokup.info/?p=34304
I'm really impressed with the restraint shown by the civilians in what I think are attemps not to get draged into a divide and conquer political strategy. Grannies stopping tanks and the military or militia's being confronted mostly by unarmed civilians.
Escalation/provocation was just a matter of time as the regime in Kiev has a short shelf life. If they can't stimulate a civil war and ask for UN help then they are toast at the ballot box. They will onlybe able to rule by oppressive means Whatever happens the stirring up the nationalism of west ukraine means east and west never get along again.
There isn't any video yet and I'm not sure about this narative. If this was a few car loads of drunk maidan types, ones stupid enough to even try this, I can image they really didn't know how to operate that de-tuned buzzsaw. Hard to wield that thing from the back of a Lada.
"Hard to wield that thing from the back of a Lada."
ROTFL!!!...thats pretty much what I was thinking...lol.
if this story is true it was a tragic and bloody case of - Send in the clowns!!

What in the world are they thinking? Shooting at unarmed people is really unnecessary.
They might want to reconsider their actions and the consequences before it is too late.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBke0soa1C0Looks like 'overkill' to do a drive by shooting of a check point. The ordinance, aerial photos, military tactics, and Bennies are not something that a few guys grab on the way out the door. It looks more like they were heading someplace else, bumped into an unexpected checkpoint, decided to take that out, but did not anticipate additional support coming to help the checkpoint.
Looks like a Black Water ops.

I've followed Zerohedge for years and learned a great deal. On this issue, my favorite website has lost its shit. Your coverage has no balance and amounts to Russian propaganda. Why do you hate Ukraine so much? Bunch of Russian stooges.
Vicky is that you? Glad you learned some stuff on ZH, you probably learned that there are some smart people out there and you are now resolved that they must be killed so you can move forward with your strap on.
.
ZH seems to be a droplet of balance in the oceans of zionist propaganda that is the MSM. Go hang out with Rachel Maddow. She needs some support these daze.....
Careful, I made similar comments and suddenly my 4+ year account nolonger worked forcing me to creat a new one.
You are ignorant of this subject.
and stupid comment "why do you hate Ukraine so much?"
What is your definition of "Ukraine"?
Answer why so many "Ukrainians" (more than you know or media will tell) hate what has happened and want the illegitimate takeover ended.
Any balance problem is well offset by CNN, Fox, PBS, etc...go there if you need relief...
More truth at ZH than those whores..
so you swallow the propaganda of the Western Bankster Media, hook line and sinker? what a fool....
Bullish Zionist Banksters - long MIC credit
Any time, and every single time with no exceptions, you see someone described as "ultra-anything", you know that they are being colored for propaganda purposes because the full truth is insufficient to persuade you to the desired point of view. The lies are flying fast and furious from all sides because, in part, and in the end, there are no "sides". There are only your controllers who view you as farmed chattel.
So, wave you flags all your want to. Just know that by doing so you are participating in the lies.
I found this analysis of Putin's moves in Crimea, written by an African. He compares what happened using Sun Tzu's "Art of War" strategies. Don't know what to make of it, but if it's only half true the West got totally outsmarted.
How to win a war without a fight
"... When President Putin gave his only press conference on 5 March 2014 (sic) exclusively for the Russian press, he swore on the head of his great-grandfather that he had no troops in Crimea. And that the military that were seen without national insignia on their uniforms were in fact local self-defence forces. Viewed from the West, this was a lie. But looking at it more closely, President Putin was merely conning them. And he supplied a capital piece of information that was not understood by Western strategists. Indeed, when he denied that there were any Russian, i.e. foreign soldiers in Crimea, he was telling them that, officially, Crimea was already Russian and that the forces present in Crimea could therefore not be considered as invading forces but as forces that were already at home, in their own nation, their own republic, hence the designation ‘local self-defence forces.’ Unfortunately, the subliminal message was not properly analysed and understood by Western ‘strategists’ who, instead of immediately looking into the Crimean situation, continued their posturing, as usual, talking of a Russian de-escalation of tension even though the latter had just informed them that they had already proceeded to the second half of the game to which the West had invited them..."
Putin’s full one hour interview transcript (March 4th, 2014)
"...QUESTION: Mr President, a clarification if I may. The people who were blocking the Ukrainian Army units in Crimea were wearing uniforms that strongly resembled the Russian Army uniform. Were those Russian soldiers, Russian military?
PUTIN: Why don’t you take a look at the post-Soviet states. There are many uniforms there that are similar. You can go to a store and buy any kind of uniform.
QUESTION: But were they Russian soldiers or not?
PUTIN: Those were local self-defence units.
QUESTION: How well trained are they? If we compare them to the self-defence units in Kiev…
PUTIN: My dear colleague, look how well trained the people who operated in Kiev were. As we all know they were trained at special bases in neighbouring states: in Lithuania, Poland and in Ukraine itself too. They were trained by instructors for extended periods. They were divided into dozens and hundreds, their actions were coordinated, they had good communication systems. It was all like clockwork. Did you see them in action? They looked very professional, like special forces. Why do you think those in Crimea should be any worse?
QUESTION: In that case, can I specify: did we take part in training Crimean self-defence forces?
PUTIN: No, we did not...."
We do the same thing. Start with a small semantic distinction and very quickly, up is down and black is white. I doubt the West was fooled in any way. Look at the descriptions of the "Ukrainian National Guard," who six months ago were soccer hooligans. Now they have uniforms and machine guns. Can't see any way that could get out of hand.
They are going to make Putin cross the border.
In the pics above, what are those long silver cylinders ... they look rather like very long shotgun shells?
Sort of. Don't know specifiecally but could be tear gas, flares, illumination, rubber bullet/pellets, flash bangs ory maybe something else in the crowd control arsenal.
Not sure on the silver things but that sure looks like Ben Franklin on the bills. Humanitary aid?
those are flare shells
I'm no Putin fan, but I hope he rolls over those facist/Nazi (U.S. <> E.U.) supported puppet A-Holes like projectile diarrhea!
Amen.
A Putin Fan.
Putin should send nukes into Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and Cyprus, and then make a statement that this was all based on agreements being worked on over the last few years and has nothing to do with Ukraine.
The only truth about this fiasco is the body count will grow, people will be injured, families will lose loved ones and homes, for what?
Does anyone know?
When a trigger is pulled it is murder except in self defense, that is all.
Or when it prevents the murder of a third party.
Or when it prevents Fascism.
Heard a pretty good joke today.
Q: Who does Russia borders with?
A: Anyone it wants
If you replace Russia with USA in that question, it starts to make more sense.
I have no idea what is going on. But assuming that the U.S. is behind the violations of peace, it could be to force a Russian invasion, hoping that they get bogged down and fully ostracized financially. And the ultimate goal would be to destabilize Russia by having the heavy costs of occupation and isolation fall hard on Putin. A significant minority of the Russian people would begin to blame Putin for their plight.
And yes, this would be about saving the petrodollar/our world reserve currency printing press. Everything ends if that printing press goes away. The wealth and power in the Beltway would evaporate almost overnight.
Quite a gamble, if that is what is going on. But very desperate men do very desperate things.
Or this could be random chaos at work with no one really at the helm.

Pretty low crime area compared to US Cities. Wonder what the rent is there.
I, for one, am glad we have found some of the "lost" billions of dollars from the Iraq, Afghanistan misadventures.
Always wondered where that would end up. State Department basement for future use.
I saw the story today as well. An interesting point of the Right Sector attack on the Pro Russian checkpoint was the Right Sector positioning of a well placed sniper before the confrontation. In this manner, once Right Sector shot the first Pro Russian Check point guard, the running guards were able to be picked off by the sniper as one guy made for the woods to escape, the sniper dropped him. Well done, a perfectly planned attack, and the sniper was most likely a Euro Maidan sniper, or in other words, a western paid blackwater employee. The only shortcoming for this CIA operation was the quick backup the checkpoint had in place, able to respond in time to kill two western Right Sector employees. One hopes for the two dead Right Sector workers, that the USA will continues to pay their families their alloted 50 Euro a day pay checks. It is an honor as an American tax payer to have just handed over much of my yearly income to the US government so they can hand it out as paychecks to Right Sector freedom fighters in Ukraine. A real honor to pay my taxes, where I know the freedoms being spread will be a great plus for democarcy in the world. We all saw US tax dollars liberate Kiev in a people's revolution, funded by US taxpayers, we sure got our money's worth.
Your negative viewpoint is much appreciated,,,this time it is the occidental hordes running into russian gunsights...who needs 100 million carpenters and needlesmiths...no one west of the dnepr you know, what i mean comrade.

Happy 4/20. The "Elite" like to play this time of year. Stay safe and alert and positive, if possible. Spend time with family and friends and love as much as you can.
As long as they film the battles/firefights/etc. and post it all online for Western entertainment like those fighting in Syria do I think we'll be OK.

Is that a MG42 on the third picture (next to the dollar bills!)?
Sure looks like one.
Not exactly Russian Special forces issue; it was for the Wermacht in 1942 though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_42
Yugolav and Austrian variants of the MG42 were produced at least into the 1990s and are still in use today. They are robust, effective, and probably quite common on the black market.
