Anti-Kiev protesters take control of govt buildings in Lugansk Region, east Ukraine
Russia Today ^ | 04-29-2014

Anti-government protesters have taken control of the regional administration building and prosecutor’s office in the city of Lugansk, eastern Ukraine. Protests continue as the deadline for the protesters’ ultimatum to the government expired.

“The building is ours. That’s it,” local protest leader Oleg Dereko told RIA Novosti.

“A regional administration building has been taken by storm,” an activist who asked not to be named has told RT. “A coordination committee and militia are now inside and are getting ready for an emergency meeting.”

The Ukrainian flag on the building has been replaced with Russia's tricolor.

No, I’m saying any country would be foolish not to put troops on their border if there’s chaos on the other side. As far as do I think Putin would take advantage of a situation if it’s handed to him. well, yeah

Okay, then you would agree it surrender U. S. territory to other nations. Wow.

Thanks for the discussion.

How do you know there was actually a boycott?

You get a few loudmouths to say something, and then the media runs with it, and everyone assumes they just didn’t vote. You don’t know that.

So when the rigged election is counted, if fits right in.

Thugs like this seen and heard far too often in Kiev...people are complaining about the thuggery of the right sector as Kiev is unable or unwilling to control them...yet they can send special forces to checkpoints outside Kiev

The choices for the vote were between “yes,” and “yes.” Surprising, frankly, that 110% weren’t in favor . . . .

There were no reports of any strife in Russia. There was no need to pull in tens of thousands of troops. I think you realize that. A defensive force to keep things under control would have been a few thousand troops.

But a month or two ago we were told that the protesters were sufficient to understand the will of the populace. But that was in Kiev...

We’ve already surrendered the territory to Mexicans with the invasion of the US being allowed. Let Mexico pay the bills for their benefits. Better yet, why not sent the invaders back to their homelands?

“As far as do I think Putin would take advantage of a situation if it’s handed to him. well, yeah”

And that is the truth of the situation, isn’t it.

The blundering of Obama and the minions created a situation that handed Putin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on a Silver Platter.

As I mentioned, it’s interesting to see the political elements and happenings in Ukraine.

Kiev is simply the puppet gov. and that with no power of it’s own....Yats, the money man is at the helm there, the Pres. just a figurehead. Course Yats is in the pocket of the US....who are running the show currently...but then some would like to say otherwise...I’ll stick with the Us is the primary “handler” of Ukraine at this time.
