Ukraine-NATO Exercises To Proceed Despite Protests

June 4, 2006 -- Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko says controversial joint Ukraine-NATO military exercises will go ahead despite strong protests.

In a presidential decree, Yushchenko ordered authorities to expel foreigners accused by Kyiv of taking part in anti-NATO demonstrations in the Crimean Peninsula.

The protests by pro-Russian activists started on May 27 with the arrival of the "USS Advantage" at the port of Feodosiya.

I like the 'expel foreigners taking part in the protests' kind of makes sense...

[lizol]

What a pity, that x5452 has got suspended (or banned).

If not - we could probably see him passionately defending the view, that in fact those protesters are true friends of America, and Yushchenko is the mortal enemy.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Hahaha true. I kind of feel sorry for the brainwashed idiots.

I like the image of the mentally defec[a]tive woman shouting next to the poster "Shame on the lackeys of the USA. We are the Slavs". Assuming that the poster is hers and she does not happen merely to stand next to it unknowingly, she might have taken a pause to consider that the Czechs and the Poles are no less Slavic than she might be.

Where are the Ukrainian flags on these photos?

[spanalot]

Theres a few communist and russian flags.

[Mazepa]

Damn, what an embarrassment for Ukraine.
And it's not like this military exercise, "Sea Breeze", is a first. It began in 1997

[1rudeboy]

x5452 got banned? Are you sure that there isn't some sort of a holiday at the Kremlin?

[lizol]

Nope.

"Damn, what an embarrassment for Ukraine."
Well, one needs to know one's fifth columniacs.

[Thunder90]

Expel the pro-Russia Ukranians and the Communist Party to Russia where they belong.

[Lukasz]

Look at the photos, they are almost only old woman, so:
1.they learned how to protest against government's decisions during the communist era
2. Russian “KGB” church stands behind the protest

[lizol]

Maybe not necessarily the church, but Russian influence is obvious in this case.

[Kozak]

He'll be back, he'll just will add another digit.Again.

[Mazepa]

x5452 banned? what did he say that banned him?

[Mazepa]

Thunder90, I don't remember, were you predicting that the Orange team would be defeated in the parliamentary elections?

[lizol]

No idea

[Thunder90]

They were, but other pro-American parties allied with the Oranges and shoved the Pro Russia and Communist parties aside.
