Provocation against the nationalist battalion. The "Right Sector" military base was blocked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Is the Ukrainian Government preparing an attack on the DUC Right Sector military base?

Important news!
Heavy weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are directed to a military base of the "Right Sector" for the first time since the beginning of war in Donbass. 

 

Today, April 28, new checkpoint was established a mile from the entrance to the DUC Right Sector military base. On the checkpoint located 25 soldiers in full ammunition and armored vehicles. Artillery is aimed directly to the DUC base.

Another checkpoint was established at the opposite side of the military base of the nationalists by the soldiers of 95th Brigade. This is how our government struggles against a nationalist-volunteers?

Dmytro Yarosh`s comment on the situation:

Our military base was surrounded by the units of 25th and 95th Airborne Brigades with using of armored vehicles and artillery without any warnings. These units consisted of new recruits who did not participate in the battles for the Airport and Peski village. They stopped one of our cars, and have demanded from our soldiers to hand over their weapons. 

I immediately called to the Chief of General Staff Viktor Muzhenko but he didn't answer timely so we were unable immediately discuss the situation. It is clear that this operation could not be performed without an order of the General Staff.

I contacted the commandership of the Airborne Brigades with whom we fought shoulder to shoulder all year in many places and they are assure me that they soldiers will not direct their weapons at the combat brothers from the "Right Sector" despite the orders of politicians. I have commanded to all of the DUC Right Sector units to not hand over their weapons. Noone cannot prevent us to defend our Fatherland and fight Russian occupier. But our soldiers should keep clear mind and don't to succumb to provocations.

I see that the military and political leadership decided to intentionally provoke a conflict between the Armed Forces and the nationalist-volunteer movement. They try to provoke the nationalists to unlawful actions towards a soldiers on the Ukrainian Army in order to discredit the Volunteer Ukrainian Corps (DUC) of the Right Sector. That's what I tell you - you will not succeed. We obtained our weapons in battle with the enemy.

Today's actions of the military command - is exceptional cynicism and despicable provocation against the Patriots of Ukraine. Anyway, our military base works in normal mode, our guys have good level of moral. We have long been accustomed to provocations and we will not fight against our brothers in arms despite the treacherous plans of our politicians.

I am the member of Parliament and I will demand a thorough investigation into the incident. Military leadership of the country is responsible for an attempt of fueling conflict between the Armed Forces and the "Right Sector". I am counting on a quick reaction of the authorities and explanation on the case. I want to hear the answer the question on what grounds was conducted such provocative actions against one of the most combat-ready units on the Ukrainian front.

the leader of the "Right Sector" military-political movement.

Brothers in arms!

Now we have a situation, where the authorities are trying to use an ordinary soldiers in their dirty games, in pursuit of own mercantile interests and strange arrangements with the enemy they are trying to destroy the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps of the "Right Sector". Today, April 28, the military base of 5th battalion of the DUC Right Sector was surrounded by the soldiers of 25th and 95th brigades of the Armed Forces with using of a heavy equipment. Volunteer battalion of the "Right Sector" at the frontline for almost a year. Our soldiers have participated in all important operations of this war together with the members of other volunteer battalions and the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have liberated a number of towns, we have fought at Airport Donetsk, we defended Peski village during 9 months. For all this time we didn't betrayed our nation and our brothers in arms.

I appeal to commanders and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a request not execute criminal orders of command. We are those who got your back in fierce battles, we are fought the enemy, our common enemy. Today someone wants us to become enemies for each other? We should not give them such an opportunity. Brothers should not raise arms against each other.

I appeal to commanders of the volunteer battalions. We are standing side by side at the frontline as a patriots and defenders of the Motherland. Volunteer Ukrainian Corps of the "Right Sector" is counting on you, your support and brotherly arm! Let us stand together against the criminal orders of the government as we standing against an external enemy!

Brother for a brother!
