KIEV, Ukraine In an effort to stabilize Ukraine and extend its authority, the interim government has set a deadline of Friday for turning in the illegal firearms that are now carried openly by so-called self-defense groups in Independence Square, the politically important plaza in the center of the capital.
The order was seconded on Thursday by the French ambassador to Ukraine, Alain Rémy, who said the disarmament of the militias that helped overthrow the former government is a central requirement for the European Union to begin disbursing financial aid, along with the government fighting corruption.
Prime Minister Arseniy P. Yatsenyuk, who was a staunch supporter of the protesters but never condoned violent tactics, set the deadline for Friday, the day Ukraine is scheduled to sign the political articles of an association agreement with the European Union.

The Maidan Revolution created a rush for every one to acquire arms.
And the new regime just dismantled the Berkut.

Hmmmm, let's see, the coup government in the Ukraine, who are not Nazis, are confiscating all guns from the people, and the elected Russian government in Crimea, that is Communist, is not confiscating guns from the people.
I think I understand.

I have been supportive of the new Ukraine up to now. This double stupid retarded move makes me question the intelligence of those now in charge. A smarter thing to do would be to ask for these groups to leave the city and take their arms with them. Thank them for their help and say to them that they need their arms to defend Ukraine proper which is very definitely in jeopardy. Disarming your allies is a very stupid thing to do.

I wonder who are going to enforce it? They have just dismantled their police force and half of the military defected.

Tell the EU, FU.
As if people who just put their guns to good use are going to simply hand them over, anyway.
