Russian Federation fighting “aggressive war” against Ukraine
During his speech Putin made several allegations about the nature of Ukraine’s pro-European revolution which toppled pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych and installed the current government, referring to it as a coup “orchestrated from outside”. Kyiv has unveiled its new military strategy that says Russian Federation may launch a full-scale military attack against Ukraine, reports Interfax news agency. In February 2014, Russian Federation conducted an open and unprovoked aggression against my country, having occupied and annexed the Crimea.
Although Putin and Obama discussed Ukraine in their over-90-minute meeting Monday evening, the focus throughout the week has been directed by Putin to a discussion of Russia’s role in the Syrian civil war. OSCE observers reported on Monday that they had spotted a TOS-1 multiple rocket launcher, an advanced Russian-built weapon that Ukraine is not believed to possess, at a separatist weapons depot. Representatives from Russian Federation were not present in the General Assembly Hall when Poroshenko spoke.
Aeroflot and Transaero, another Russian national airline of zimbabwe blacklisted by name inside of the Ukrainian testimony, glide more when compared to a half-dozen flights from Moscow to effectively Kyiv daily. “The goal of this war is to force the Ukrainian people to give up their sovereign choice and build free, democratic, prosperous and European states”. Poroshenko welcomed United Nations reform proposals to block veto powers when mass atrocities are involved.
During the trial, Savchenko and her lawyer Ilya Novikov asked the court to either allow the military pilot to be hooked up to a polygraph machine when she testifies, or to admit the results of a previous lie-detector test she had taken during the investigation, independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported. Putin said the Minsk peace agreement was the way to end the conflict.
“This means that President Petro Poroshenko’s dream has been brought to life”, Kyiv spokeswoman Dariia Olifer wrote on Facebook.
Ukraine’s economy has been badly battered since the start of the country’s revolution and ensuing war in 2014.
The Ukrainian government is particularly sceptical about Russian intentions, and worries about any signs of a warming relationship between Russia and the West which could ease pressure on Moscow.
Surprisingly, there has been no ceasefire violation in eastern Ukraine since September 1.
Media and legal analyst, Lionel, told RT that Poroshenko chose to speak English instead of his native Ukrainian at the United Nations to achieve more “clarity” as his address was aimed at two audiences – the worldwide community and the mainstream media in the US.
