Ukraine PM to Russia: 'Get out of our land'
CNBC ^ | 2/25/2015 | Holly Ellyatt | Stephen Sedgwick

As the cease-fire between Ukraine and Russia looks shaky at best, the prime minister of Ukraine told CNBC that Russia was not withdrawing heavy weaponry from the east of the country and needed to end its "illegal invasion."

"I have a key aspiration, and this is the aspiration of the entire Ukrainian nation: Russians, get out of our land. But they are still in Ukraine; Russian military and boots are still on Ukrainian ground," Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told CNBC Tuesday.

Kind of ironic in that Ukraine won't get out of Donetsk and Luhansk who voted for independence.

Why are you so pro-Putin? Why does he have the right to dismember a neighboring state?

I’d pay money for an opportunity to punch that slimy fascist Yatsuyuk right in the nose.

The member state was dissolved in the nazi coup. You use Molotov cocktails and violence to take over the government during a dispute, rather than wait a year for an election, then you only get to clam what you can physically seize.
You do not get to claim everything the old nation possessed.
Eastern Ukraine declaring separation, and getting help externally, is precisely what the western Ukrainians did.
They have the same right.

This week, Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the USSR had invaded Germany and Ukraine in WW2.

“All of us still clearly remember the Soviet invasion of Ukraine and Germany,” he told German-state broadcaster ARD. “We need to avoid it.”

The guy clearly comes from a Nazi point of view as a western Uke.

You support Russia no matter what it does, you are not pro-freedom, you are pro-totalitarian.

“Are you against peoples right to be free?”

Before the Kalashnikov armed pro-russians took over every poll conducted in Donetsk showed only a small minority wanted to join russia.

That’s funny.

Let’s for the sake of the argument agree that the current Ukrainian regime is illegitimate and anti-freedom.

You’ll have to help me understand how the Russian backed eastern Ukrainians involved in this conflict are champions of freedom.

So you would be for Dagestan, Chechnya and other areas having the right to vote for independence?

Gary Kasparov: “It’s another proof Putin’s popularity is mythology. If you & your policies are popular you can have free elections, free media, free people.”

You want to know Nazis, it’s Dugin and his influence on Putin. But maybe it’s more important to defend Vlad the alleged pedophile: http://www.news.com.au/world/europe/former-russian-spy-accused-putin-of-being-kremlin-paedophile-before-his-death/story-fnh81p7g-1227205915682

The president fled the country, he did not have to and did after weeks or even months of protests.

I never said Russia is a beacon of democracy but it’s Ukrainians who are killing those in Donetsk and Luhansk who don’t want any part of Ukraine’s Junta.

A few that don’t want to be part of Ukraine any way, backed by the Russian empire. Those in the east who want to stay Ukraine are being pretty oppressed.

So we go with graphics of Donetsk supposedly wanting to be Russian, no way Russia gives that right to their own people, they even took a part of Finland.

But we go with the whole spiel of there being a junta, etc.

In Russia, opposition leaders jailed.

Really silly that we are suppose to believe Russia in this.

A lot of ISIS fighters from the former USSR; so, this whole scenario, we are suppose to believe from the Russians, one of their hackers is now a most wanted with a $3 million dollar reward on him.

I feel sorry for the good Russian people but there is a lot of crime there, state-crime I’d say to.

Jail opposition leaders.
