I'm sorry for the quality of translation, I had no time to do it properly. This is the opinion about the recent events given here http://geopolityka.org/ This is the text:
In Ukraine last from four days protests after the transfer of information by the authorities there to suspend the procedure of signing the Association Agreement and the Kiev FTAs ( Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement ) with the European Union . On the streets of larger , mainly peripheral cities continue picketing and marches .
In the Ukrainian capital on Independence Square ( Maidan ) gather a group of supporters of the opposition, which speak of its leaders , especially Arseniy Yatsenyuk ( Batkiwszczina ) and Oleh Tiahnybok (Freedom ) . In an emotional appeal to the participants in these meetings requested in the disclosure letter, is serving a sentence in prison Yulia Tymoshenko.
Meanwhile, the course of events like the scenarios played out in the same places and in a similar composition of nine years ago , in 2004 , when mass protests technology combined with external pressures led to an unprecedented decision on the need for a third round of presidential elections . Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian Duma Alexei canning wrote on his blog that " the real purpose of the new traps in Kiev is the same as in 2004 : the overthrow of Yanukovich 's pro-Western governments and the transfer of the opposition. Not spared on this forces and means . " A few days ago a deputy of the Supreme Council Oleg Cariew (Party of Regions ) reported their suspicions about the real objectives pursued by the U.S. Embassy in Kiev and training programs , suggesting that Washington some time preparing for the scenario of destabilization of the political situation in Ukraine.
At the head of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Kiev is from July this year . Geoffrey Pyatt , far better known as a specialist for Latin America (including the National Security Council adviser ) , and then middle-ranking diplomat in India and Pakistan. It should be noted that G. Pyatt generally undertake work in countries with which the United States had some tension . Reports from India suggest that it dealt with intelligence activities , regarding the potential influence of Iran in the country and the region. Mission in Kiev is the first nomination ambasadorską G. Pyatt . Following the submission of credentials in Ukraine marked the diplomat that the U.S. supports the country's association with the EU , treatments for its energy independence from the Russian Federation and holding free presidential elections in 2015.
For several months , as reported O. Cariew , under the auspices of the U.S. embassy organized TechCamp project in which trained activists of non-governmental organizations , primarily related to the opposition . The scope of training includes the ability to use social media to organize street protests and riots , protest movements information policy and the ways of influencing public opinion via the Internet . While training are cited examples of actions taken by the protest movements in Egypt , Libya and Tunisia during the so-called . Arab Spring . Recent training took place on 14-15 November in the U.S. embassy and was conducted by specialists who come specially from the USA. O. Cariew turned to the Supreme Council of interpellation on the matter, questioning the legality conducted by the diplomatic activities of the United States under international law , in particular the Vienna Convention .
In the context of these events , you can anticipate that the current actions of the opposition are :
- Top-down protest organized commercial ( Ukrainian media information appears on wages paid to participants of the picket ) , which would confirm the previously known thesis about the almost total commercialization of local social movements ;
- A coordinated action with the U.S. diplomatic post in Kiev , conducted the passive sympathy diplomatic most EU countries ;
- Testing technology colored revolutions before the presidential elections that should be held in 2015 ;
- Operation legitimacy of new political actors who are able to get the potential to mobilize useful in the case of the " orange scenario " ;
- Destabilization of the situation in Ukraine in connection with the decision of the Ukrainian government on a dialogue with Moscow.
