A FEW COMMENTS ON THE CLASHES NEAR THE UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT ON AUGUST 31

August 31, this day was indeedly hot for the capital of Ukraine and it's not about the weather. New clashes between the members of Ukrainian nationalists party "Svoboda" and law enforcements - soldiers of the National Guard took place near the Ukrainian Parliament. All was started with the protest action aimed to prevent the government to pass an amendments to the Constitution, which provides the next:

- Amnesty for separatists, the Kremlin mercenaries and terrorists, who turn Ukrainian Donbass into ruins, terrorize, rob and kill Ukrainians in the region;
- Legalization of the terrorist gangs as the "people's militia";
- Providing of possibility to assign prosecutors and judges in the occupied territories of Donbass for the Kremlin puppets.
- Official status for local deputies, who were elected in illegal way, through the pressing on the local population.
- So-called mode of "promotion the Russian language", which is suppressing the Ukrainian culture and language on Ukrainian territories!


Before the start of government's voting on amendments the members of "Svoboda" nationalist party started a protest rally at the square near the building of Parliament with calls to MPs to not betray Ukraine and not to endanger the state sovereignty. The conflict was started after the Ukrainian government has pass the amendments to Ukrainian Constitution, which have literally legalize the Kremlin puppet "republics of Donbass." A large number of protesters are a veterans of the war at Donbass so it was quite logically that they couldn't tolerate such public humiliation of own dignity on the part of the Poroshenko's government. When the nationalists have started offensive to the building Parliament they clashed with law enforcement officers, who have destroyed the posters with Ukrainian soldiers, who died defending Ukraine at Donbass. 

The situation worsened when one of protesters threw a grenade towards representatives of law enforcement. A few soldiers received a various wounds in result of the explosion, one soldier of the National Guard was hospitalized and died after a hour in the hospital.

The Ukrainian society has been divided in opinions on the incident particularly and the clash in general. Pro-governmental bloggers and journalists immediately tried to deflect public attention from the fact of adoption of scandalous laws and focus it on the incident with the grenade. Other part of the society have deny a populist statements, keep their mind clean and not forgetting about the purpose of the protest action and betrayal the national interests by Poroshenko's government. Of course, this is absolutely unacceptable to use the weapons in the heart of our Fatherland, someone even call this incident a clear provocation, which was aimed to discredit the nationalist movement as is opposite to current government of Ukraine. Moreover, some units of the National Guard of Ukraine have also took part in combat operations at the frontline, some of the soldiers of the National Guard has died during the battles in Donbass and that is disregard for a fallen brothers in arms to defend the people, who have literally spit on their graves when adopting these laws!

Participant of the protest beaten by law enforcements, is she also "threw a grenade"?

There is a few comments on the situation from the people, who have also participated the national-liberation war in Donbass:

"Someone call the events near the Parliament on August 31 a provocation. Yes, that was the provocation! Provocation, initiated by the "government" against its own nation! The president and the government are provoking the Ukrainian people on such actions! Someone call the events near the Parliament on August 31 a provocation. Yes, that was the provocation! Provocation, initiated by the "government" against its own nation! The president and the government are provoking the Ukrainian people on such actions! And it looks like the nation will succumb on this provocation soon. And then no one will save them, neither the "concerned" friends from EU, nor Putin with the Russian army!

Are you, bastards, really think you will always be able to hide behind a phrases like "this is beneficial for Moscow", "don't shake a boat" or "This is the provocation, initiated by Kremlin's agents!"?"

"I'm so fu**n tired from this pro-EU flock. I don't remember such stream of constant discussions neither during the Government have gave away Ilovaisk, Debaltseve, nor during the government's ignoring of constant the enemy's offensives on the Airport Donets, nor during the shameless demilitarization of Shirokino town. But now... the soldier has died, they threw a grenade. They are constantly talking about that, but they don't fu**n care about the fact that our so called "MPs" are trying to legalize the republics of Dombabve and Luganda and make such scum as Zakharchenko, Motorola nad Plotnitsky to official representatives of the authorities. I don't remember such popular outrage about thousands of killed soldiers, about the shooting of the Heavenly Hundred, about a hundreds of strategic positions, which were presented to the enemy according to the MInsk agreements. I don't remember such popular outrage about a numerous incidents, when drunk judges and prosecutors have killed an ordinary citizens with their children in a car accidents and avoided prison. But now - someone threw a grenade, they make a picture, three soldiers have died and everyone are going insane. I watched all these videos and all I saw is explosion of some thunderflash and and a fire extinguisher, after 3-4 second some of the soldier, who stood behind the line are started to run from the place of explosion. But pro-government media have created a new heroes, and the public began joyfully chanting "Heroes, Heroes" ae soon as Poroshenko and the company have promised to award the died soldiers with "the Order of Courage" and posthumous status of participants ATO. Honestly, it is doubly insult for the soldiers, who are fighting at Donbass. 1) Please forgive me my cynicism but the dead don't fu**g need your order, they have died. 2) Here we have a lot of people. who really defend the country, not MPs, and most part of them cannot receive a status of participant of ATO, including me. My brother died during the battle for Ilovaisk and he wasn't posthumously awarded, but here -  orders, awards, etc...

So what is the reason of such outrage among some part of society? Because all this happened not somewhere at Donbass but very close to them, and they were frightened. Where was all those people, who told us about "Third Maidan" and "assault on the Parliament"? Did they change their mind? The system of power was not changed, the members of criminal "Party of Regions" was in the government and they are still there! Now they call themselves the "Petro Poroshenko's Bloc." The unconscious mobilized soldiers of the National Guard have defending a gang of MPs-traitors, who exactly were the provocateurs of this clash near the Parliament. And a few words on politics ... I don't even ty to understand what happening with all these political parties. Some part of society are trying to bury "Svoboda" now. Everything is still the same, nothing has changes. The most part of "Svoboda" members are good and quite adequate people with a good level of self-organization, but in the government we have the same idiots! "

participant of the battles for Shirokino town

"The man, who, according to Avakov, has threw this damn grenade (which is not the fact, firstly - it's not a fact that this was exactly a grenade, secondly - it's not a fact that this was the explosion of grenade, watch the video carefully) - he is one of the most courage soldiers of what I had ever meet. He literally lived in Peski village until "Sich" battalion was withdrawn from the village."

 Lera Burlakova,

a soldier of "Sich" battalion 

"I'm an officer of the National Guard of Ukraine for now and that's what I want to say on this situation. I ask my brothers in arms - I you will ever see me in the ranks of cops against my people - then please kill me, bury my body and spit on my grave!"

"Paliy",

the commander of "Azov" regiment

"Well, all they had to do to satisfy the society is rename the internal troops, who previously defended Yanukovych and beat people on Maidan to the National Guard dress them in new uniform. And people will call them "our boys" or "our defenders" (of course they are defenders for such people as Poroshenko or Avakov, bui I cannot understand for what the ordinary people are considering them as "defenders").

Ok, if someone really like the name "National Guard", we we should to find the meaning of some terms. "Azov" regiment is the National Guard, the battalion them. General Kulchitsky is the National Guard! These battalion were completely formed from a volunteers. Well known nationalist from Kyiv, "Slavunya" was the deputy of Battalion Commander there, they have set the flag with Celtic cross on the parade ground, this guys showed themselves a real patriots both at the battlefield, fighting the terrorists and at the frontline zone, fighting smuggling thereby preventing for authorities to make a money at war. This is real National Guard!

 
And there, near the Parliament or near the President's administration the same guys from the internal troops of Yanukovych's times dressed in new uniform."
