On Tuesday, March 7th, Russia’s top parliamentarian dealing with the Ukrainian refugee influx into Russia — dealing, that is, with the people who have fled Ukraine as a result of U.S. President Barack Obama’s 2014 coup overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych — presented the first-ever comprehensive number of asylum-applicants from Ukraine who have received asylum there after that February 2014 coup. The Russian government had never before publicly provided a number, but does have an established system of processing refugees, including assignment of official refugee status, which «allows the recipient various social benefits, including unemployment compensation» and so each Ukrainian refugee has a file with the government.
As reported by Tass:
Russia has received more than 2,500,000 refugees since the outbreak of the conflict in eastern Ukriane, Yuri Vorobyov, Deputy Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (upper house of parliament) and Chairman of the Committee for Public Support to Residents of Southeastern Ukraine, said on Tuesday. «Europe has received 900,000 [refugees] and shuddered, while we have received over 2,500,000 refugees on our territory and continue to provide assistance», he said opening the round table discussion «Russia-Donbass: New Cooperation Mechanisms».
That coup, which generated these millions of refugees, had been planned by the U.S. White House since 2011, and culminated on 20 February 2014. Also on that day, hundreds of Crimeans who had been standing in Kiev with signs opposing the overthrow of the President for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted, were attacked by supporters of the coup (which was fronted by, and was propagandized as being, the «Maidan revolution» demanding ‘democracy’ in Ukraine, though it actually ended democracy there). These Crimeans immediately scrambled back into the eight buses that had taken them to Kiev and headed back homeward, but the U.S.-government-backed Right Sector paramilitaries went in hot pursuit of the buses, and burnt some of them and massacred many of the demonstrators, outside of Kiev, in the town of Korsun. This became called «the Korsun Massacre», and Crimeans in Crimea immediately started demonstrating in Crimea, for Crimea to become, once again, as it had been until 1954, part of Russia.
Crimeans overwhelmingly favored Russia over the United States, and were terrified by the racist anti-Russian government that now ruled in Kiev. This fear wasn’t only because of the massacre, nor only because 75% of Crimeans had voted for the man whom Obama had overthrown, but also because Crimeans generally (and most Ukrainians who had voted for Yanukovych) knew well the intense racist hatred against pro-Russian Ukrainians by the Right Sector people, who had actually carried out the coup. A plebiscite was held in Crimea on 16 March 2014, and the vote to rejoin Russia was over 90%. U.S. President Obama then imposed economic sanctions against Russia for accepting Crimea back into Russia. These sanctions, and U.S. military aid to the new junta-government in Kiev, publicly renewed The West’s Cold War against Russia (which had actually continued secretly against Russia ever since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991; the Cold War had ended only on the Russian side).
U.S. President Obama recognized, of course, that the residents in the far-eastern region of Ukraine, Donbass, where the vote had been 90% for Yanukovych, could make impossible, in any subsequent nationwide Ukrainian Presidential election, a continuation of the U.S.-imposed Ukrainian government’s rule over Ukraine; and, so, his Ukrainian government instituted an ethnic-cleansing campaign in Donbass to kill as many of them as possible and force as many as possible of those Donbass residents to flee into Russia. Getting rid of those voters was essential to the success of Obama’s Ukrainian operation. That ethnic cleansing is the reason why 2.5 million former Ukrainians are now living in Russia: their presence in the Ukrainian electorate would jeopardize continued U.S. control over the Ukrainian government and was thus impermissible. These 2.5 million have thus been entirely removed from Ukraine now, and perhaps enough of those voters are gone from Ukraine so that once again Donbass will be able to become part of Ukraine, even while the U.S. continues to control Ukraine.
In the U.S. and the other nations that are controlled by the U.S. aristocracy, newsmedia typically criticize Russia regarding the Ukrainian refugees, such as by saying that «the Russian government’s policies puts them in an even more disadvantaged position» than Russia’s native population endure, so that these refugees suffer not because of the U.S. government, but because of the Russian government.
America’s new President, Donald Trump, has made clear that the economic sanctions against Russia will not end until both Crimea and Donbass become again parts of Ukraine. So, he supports his predecessor’s Russia-policy. America’s wars to strangle Russia (such as by eliminating leaders friendly toward Russia, including Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Viktor Yanukovych — and attempting to do it also to Bashar al-Assad) will, in other words, continue.
I was in Ukraine last year: the only civil breakdown is in the eastern parts occupied by Russia.
Too bad you weren’t there in 2014
Victoria Nuland might have given you a cookie
We will likely have repercussions for a century due to the disasters that were the Obama foreign policy.
Nothing remarkable about what I'm saying.
The fact that I'm no fan of the Kenyan or Soros doesn't mean I'm willing to embrace Moscow as a 'solution'.
The beef is with Putin
Russia must therefore be part of any solution
Unless you are John McCain and think you can accomplish what Hitler Napoleon and the Mongols failed to accomplish
Well, my preferred solution would be quite simple: Russia gets the Kaliningrad Oblast back after it gives up Crimea and gets out of eastern Ukraine.
Russia is not arming North Korea
Nor are they actively involved in arming Latin American Marxists ( name 2)
You must be getting your intelligence from Maxine Waters
The US democrats are more communist now than Russia and working hard on achieving every goal Krushchev ever stated
That’s why they are hating now on Comrade Putin - their proletariat apostate
Crimea does not want to be “ given up”
They were not consulted when Krushchev gifted them to Ukraine in 1954
If Europe didn’t like the Crimean referendum held in 2014 that went 97% to rejoining Russia, then let’s let them do it again with honest oversight and honest reporting
Must a group of people be muslim to be allowed by the US and the EU to vote on becoming a breakaway ?
I saw a few documentaries on the tragedy of Ukraine. It is absolutely sick and sad. Whole towns bombarded by rocket barrages and every interview of townspeople blame Russia AND the United States.A curious side note was the appearance of American mercenaries on the Ukraine side. I am sickened by what Obama has done to Ukraine, Syria and Libya among others. Inexplicably John McCain was in the middle of all three.
I believe we have about 300 U.S. troops in Ukraine as “advisors”
They were introduced into that conflict just before a visit by McCain in late 2016
Smells like Russian propaganda.
Not buying that one bit.
The local areas didn’t melt down until there were tanks and Russian proxies and or troops on the ground.
People fled the conflict. Who knew that would happen?
LOL
It’s a theory, but why then are there 2 million Ukrainians relocated in Poland? The source for this is Polish pastor yesterday at a meeting in Kiev.
As I stated earlier, it was the Soros-supported leftist DEMOCRATS who are helping the Russians regain their former “glory”. ie, restoration of their evil empire.
This video by Jerry Kroth is very interesting regarding Mass Psychology, the Media and the crisis in Ukraine
