Moscow condemns Ukrainian defence minister’s provocative statements

MOSCOW, September 01, /ITAR-TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday condemned Ukrainian Defence Minister Valery Geletei’s provocative statement that Kiev had concluded the operation to liberate the east of Ukraine from “terrorists” and was beginning a patriotic war.
Geletei said losses in what he called “a great patriotic war” would amount to “tens of thousands”.
“It’s hard to believe that such statements can be made by the defence minister of a civilised state. Otherwise, one can hardly understand how tens of thousands of Ukrainian families could entrust to this official the lives of their children, brothers and husbands called up into the Ukrainian army for a fratricidal war in their own country,” the ministry said.

By making such statements Geletei “is drawing the Ukrainian people into further bloody civil confrontation. Europe probably has never before seen such blasphemous attempts to cover up one’s desire to retain the current position,” the ministry said.
The adequacy of the Ukrainian defence minister who published this post on his Facebook page is a subject of examination by specialists from a non-military field,” it said.

В Москве, конечно, обратили внимание на высказывания главы украинского военного ведомства Валерия Гелетея, заявившего о «завершении операции по освобождению Востока Украины от террористов» и начале «Великой отечественной войны», потери в которой будут исчисляться «десятками тысяч».
Степень адекватности главы военного ведомства Украины, опубликовавшего на своей странице в «Фейсбуке» упомянутый пост, – предмет для исследования специалистов не в военной области. Единственное, что, наверное, заслуживает внимания в этом тексте – назначение «архитектором блистательных побед» вооруженных сил Украины на Юго-Востоке начальника Генерального штаба В.Муженко.
Призыв же В.Гелетея готовиться к очередным «десяткам тысяч» жертв в называемой им «Великой отечественной войне», а по сути – новой карательной операции в своей стране – и вовсе повергает в шок. Тем самым он втягивает украинский народ в продолжение кровопролитного гражданского противостояния. Такое кощунственное прикрытие своего желания усидеть в занимаемом кресле любой ценой история Европы, похоже, еще не знала.
С трудом верится, что подобные заявления могут принадлежать министру обороны цивилизованного государства. В противном случае, просто не понятно, каким образом десятки тысяч украинских семей могли доверить этому чиновнику жизни своих детей, братьев и мужей, отмобилизованных в украинскую армию на братоубийственную войну в собственной стране.

  1. Russian forces strengthening positions in Ukraine: Kiev military......

    KIEV - Russian troops are strengthening their positions in eastern Ukraine and using aid shipments to smuggle in arms and other supplies to separatist forces, Kiev's military said on Tuesday.

    Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said units of Russian troops had been identified in the big regional center of Donetsk, towns and villages to its east and in south-east areas near the Sea of Azov.

    Fifteen more Ukrainian servicemen were killed in fighting in the past 24 hours, Lysenko said.

    President Petro Poroshenko accused Russia on Monday of "direct and undisguised aggression" in Kiev's five-month war against pro-Russian separatists. He acknowledged the Russian troops had tipped the battlefield balance in favor of the rebels.

    Despite the accusations from Kiev and its Western allies, Moscow denies its troops are directly involved.

    Military reverses which Kiev blames on Moscow's military intervention include the loss of Novoazovsk, a key town on the Sea of Azov, and the encirclement of forces at Ilovaysk, east of Donetsk........................http://www.todayonline.com/world/fifteen-more-ukrainian-soldiers-killed-fighting-kiev-military
