The rusyns suffered greatly under the austrohungarian empire and are culturally and religiously closer to the russians than the neighbouring catholic people to the west. That's why I'm saying Russia should convince them to join the "rusky mir" instead of assimilating into culturally alien potentially hostile NATO states.Odin of Ossetia wrote:flamming_python wrote:Odin of Ossetia wrote:KomissarBojanchev wrote:Instead of growing close with the catholic hungarians and slovaks who have historically done great atrocities against them ,there should be an effort to make the rusyn national consciosness to identify itsself with the orthodox east slavic family, them being the westernmost members of the russian people.
What Slovak atrocities?
Damned if I know what he's refering to either.
Rusyns should conscious themselves up and join Slovakia or Hungary; either would make a good home for them - Ukraine is sure to progress into an absolute wreck.
Rusins should become independent.
And have no idea what "Slovak atrocities" he wrote about.
A significant portion of ethnic Hungarians are Protestant (Calvinist).

Is NAF firing back and destroying Maidan's artillery?

World August 04, 19:21 UTC+3
Under the agreement signed on June 9, 2010 Russia is supposed to provide funds for design works and for launching the power units into operation
KIEV, August 4 /TASS/. Ukraine plans to denounce agreement with Russia on the completion of construction of the third and fourth units of the Khmelnitskaya nuclear power plant.
On Tuesday, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada (parliament) registered a relevant government-proposed bill, which should first be considered by parliamentary leaders, the legislature’s website said.
Ukraine and Russia signed an agreement on cooperation in the construction of the third and fourth units of the Khmelnitskaya NPP on June 9, 2010 under which Russia is supposed to provide funds for design works and for launching the power units into operation.
In October 2014, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk ordered the national energy company Energoatom to speed up the completion of construction of the power units with European partners. Czech Skoda seems to be the most likely candidate to finish the construction. But the firm cannot get down to work before Ukraine denounces its agreement with Russia. Continue reading.

KIEV (Sputnik) — Ukraine’s Defense Ministry estimates that it will need an annual budget of more than $4.6 billion to maintain a contract army, the defense minister’s aide Yuriy Biriukov said Tuesday. "More than 100 billion [hryvnias, or $4.6 billion] is required to have a contract army, with the ratio of contractors at 60 to 40," Biriukov told Hromadske TV channel.
The country’s struggling economy cannot afford a fully professional army at the moment, the ministerial aide indicated. He said there were currently over 50,000 contract soldiers in Ukraine’s army ranks.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk earlier ordered Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak to prepare preliminary estimates of what it would take to switch to a contract military service, as well as create a new system of army training and enrollment schemes.

So where is Ukraine going to get $4.6billion per year from, when it can't even afford gas, pensions, paying miners, and other essentials?
Well, take a look at the pictures of new police force and their proposed gadgets like body cameras, conducted electrical weapons, tactical flashlights, wireless radio data terminals, etc. don't come cheap, even without bribery.KoTeMoRe wrote:So they need 4.6bln USd for 50K Kontrakniks? The F*CK? That's almost the cost of a US soldier? That's 92K USD/year. And that's a 60/40 ratio? So Ukraine plans to have a ~90K strong Army? Wat?

Gerasimov is small fish, right?
My highlight. Is this the Nat Guard moved back to allow them to restart their 'commercial' activities and to ensure that no-one in the front line gets any idea about going home? (without paying the transit tax of course).Cowboy's daughter wrote:Here is the site I wanted to find on Facebook.
