Estonian foreign minister, in leaked phone call, raises suspicions about Ukraine's new government and sniper killings

A leaked conversation between Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton relays explosive suspicions that the same snipers are responsible for the Feb. 18-20 killings of both EuroMaidan demonstrators and police officers.

Paet goes further by raising the possibility that the gunmen may have been working for supporters of Ukraine’s new interim government, not ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, and that Ukraine’s current rulers are not interested in fully investigating who is behind the killings of some 90 people in the three-day period.

Paet also says that civil society leaders of EuroMaidan Revolution distrust the new Ukrainian government because they are tainted by corruption and have “a dirty past.”

He relays suspicions of coalition government involvement in the sniper killings after a conversation he had with Dr. Olga Bohomolets, a physician who attended to dead and wounded EuroMaidan protesters and who recently refused a ministerial appointment in the new government.

“What was disturbing is that the same snipers ...killed people on both sides. She (Bohomolets) showed me some photos. She said that as a medical doctor she could tell it was the same handwriting, the same type of bullets and it's really disturbing that now the new coalition, they don't want to investigate what exactly happened,” Paet tells Ashton. “There is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers it was not Yanukovych. It was somebody from the new coalition.”

The lady has a lot of guts, unfortunately I agree her next assignment will be either "life in the Gulags" or what usually happens in the basement of the KGB (I mean the FSB) Headquarters at Dzerzhinsky Square . Where many people have gone in but none have come out.

People do leave the House that Feliks built but they usually leave with their craniums featuring a .17 caliber ventilation feature.

Telegraph reports the USAF has reenforced the BAP mission with a half dozen F-15's and sent 12 F-16's to Poland for "exercises".

One of the little backstories here is that a number of Poles have bought their ancestral family homes in the parts of Ukraine that were formerly part of Poland. So just like Putin says he needs to invade Crimea to protect Russians then if Russia invades the rest of Ukraine the poles will have the same reason to send forces into Ukraine to protect Poles.

Also, I'm very surprised that Obama is backing up the Poles. Makes me wonder if that repositioning is coming from SACEUR instead of the White Hut.

And now back to the topic at hand.

Who would have thought a region that had all it's indigenous people relocated, exterminated or starved to death and replaced by ethnic Russians would have ever voted for joining the motherland.

Wow is all I can say. Just never saw that coming and why does the term " sociopathic, spoiled fucking brat" keep popping into my head when I hear the name Putin.

Oh shit.

I forgot all about that. Is there anyway the mod's can change my name or something so nobody loses their gong?

BTW I'm waiting for his formal complaint about me using the sociopath analogy to describe Putin since as everyone knows that title is held in perpetuity by GWB.

Well it makes perfect sense when you put it like that. I wonder how the Tartars will lay into this. They will hardly have love for the Russians.

From what I saw on the news 1/3 or the people want nothing to do with Russia and one of the Ministers from their regional parliament or whatever the hell they called it said it's calm now but he didn't expect it to stay that way.

I wonder if Putin can spell Civil war because that's what he probably just caused. Now his troops can sit back, watch the fun and then cleanup whatever's left for Mother Russia.

The Tatars will declare war on the Russians. The day the Russians moved into the Crimean peninsula the head of the Tatar Majlis told his people not to form resistance units.

Maybe Vlad the Merciful is spoiling for a fight so he can finish off the job Big Joe started by turning the Crimea into a ethnically cleansed resort for pure blood Russians.

I imagine the Baltic republics and Poland are becoming more than a little nervous, having Russia right on their borders.
