Ukraine far-right leader Muzychko dies 'in police raid'
BBC ^ | March 25, 2014

Posted on 03/25/2014 10:15:11 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

A Ukrainian ultra-nationalist leader has been shot dead in what officials describe as a special forces operation.

Oleksandr Muzychko, better known as Sashko Bily, died in a shoot-out with police in a cafe in Rivne in western Ukraine, the interior ministry said.

He was a leader of Right Sector, a far-right group which was prominent in the recent anti-government protests.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's parliament has voted to accept the resignation of Defence Minister Ihor Tenyukh.

Mr Tenyukh had been accused of indecision in the face of Russia's military takeover of Crimea.

The shooting of Muzychko happened just hours after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Deshchytsia - their first meeting since Russia's move into Crimea triggered a diplomatic crisis.

Barack Obama says Vladimir Putin has a choice to make whether to abide by international law or face "disruptive sanctions"

Also on Tuesday, US President Barack Obama addressed the crisis during a joint news conference with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, saying that Russia was "threatening some of its immediate neighbours, not out of strength, but out of weakness".

died in a shoot-out with police in a cafe

What happened to the "Blocked his car in the street, handcuffed him, made sure he wasn't wearing a vest and shot him in the heart" story?

LOL, looking at #22, I think we see the reason he offed himself.

If I were a Raiders fan, I’d seriously consider it, too.

The fatal injury in the heart of the fugitive member of an organized criminal group, Right Sector coordinator Oleksandr Muzychko, also known as Sashko Bily, resulted from the use of his own weapon, Ukrainian First Deputy Interior Minister Volodymyr Yevdokymov said.

Why not, the Socialist left and Neo-Con Fascista Homophiles will believe anything.

The problem with saying stuff like that is that you get taken at your word.

It could still be Spetsnaz or a FSB hit... However revealing that right now would show how poor the security situation in Ukraine is right now, and cause Right Sector to retaliate against Russian forces in Crimea and on the borders.

Equal possibility is that the Ukrainians might be having some infighting of their own.

“Neo-Con Fascista Homophiles”

I just call them Obamacons, as it is easier to type. I add ‘bloodeater’ when they add chickenhawk to their resume.

One name or the other, they are firmly attached to the business end of Obama's .... propaganda, but I make it easier to imagine how.

Re: Ukraine far-right leader Muzychko dies 'in police raid'

Gadzooks, this is sounding more and more like history repeating itself... that I can hear faintly hear The Obamanation saying, "We have peace in our time!"
