Ukraine points finger at ex-president and Russia in sniper deaths
By Pavel Polityuk and Alessandra Prentice 49 minutes ago-APR 3,14-Yahoonews
KIEV (Reuters) - The Ukrainian authorities said on Thursday ousted President Viktor Yanukovich was involved in drawing up plans under which police snipers shot dead dozens of anti-government protesters and hinted at a Russian role in the violent crackdown.The head of Ukraine's security service blamed the killing of more than 100 protesters in mid-February on the 'Berkut' riot police, a turning point in the Moscow-backed leader's ultimately doomed struggle to keep power.He also said representatives of Russia's FSB security force had been seen at the Ukrainian security service's headquarters during the protests that began in November and that a Russian plane had flown a large amount of explosives into Ukraine.The hints of Russian involvement could further strain ties with Ukraine's former Soviet master, which annexed the Crimea region after Yanukovich's removal from power in what has become the worst East-West standoff since the Cold War."The former government of the country gave criminal orders and a huge number of people suffered in the 'mincer'," Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told a news conference in Kiev at which details of an inquiry into the killings were announced.Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, head of the state security service (SBU), added: "It was intended as a counter-terrorism operation but effectively the mass murder of people happened directly under the leadership of former president Viktor Yanukovich.The new government has been under pressure to identify and punish the killers although Yanukovich has denied ordering the killings.In the final bloody days of the protests, rooftop snipers picked off protesters and medical workers on February 20. Many died on the spot from shots to the neck and scores of bodies were left strewn on the ground in central Kiev.One day after the killings, which followed three months of mainly peaceful protests over Yanukovich's decision to spurn closer trade and political ties with the European Union, the president fled Kiev. He was deposed by parliament on February 22.Earlier on Thursday, the prosecutor general said 12 members of the Berkut had been detained on suspicion of shooting peaceful participants in the protests.Acting Attorney General Oleh Makhnitsky said the detainees were members of a special force in the Berkut called the 'Black Unit' and Nalyvaichenko said members of a special unit within SBU had also been involved.In late February the Interior Ministry disbanded the Berkut, whose name means golden eagle.
FIVE TONNES OF RUSSIAN EXPLOSIVES
Nalyvaichenko said the presence of members of Russia's FSB, a successor of the KGB, at the SBU's headquarters in Kiev implied there had been active Russian involvement in events in Ukraine."We have reasonable grounds to believe that these groups ... participated in the planning and implementation of the so-called anti-terrorist operation," he said.The FSB denied any involvement. Russia's RIA news agency quoted it as saying: "Let these statements be on the conscience of the Ukrainian Security Services." Nalyvaichenko also said that planes loaded with 5,100 kilograms of Russia-made explosives and other materials had landed at an aerodrome near Kiev from the Russian city of Chkalovsk in January."They brought the means of organizing the shooting and destruction of our protesters on Maidan," he said, referring to the central Kiev square which became the heart of the protests.Russia has denied any involvement in Kiev's unrest, suggesting that the protests were partly funded by the West."We caution against forming hasty and politicized conclusions based on material and hypotheses that have 'suddenly' surfaced'," Konstantin Dolgov, a Russian Foreign Ministry official responsible for human rights issues, said on Twitter.Dolgov said Russia was closely following the "sniper issue, which exposes the cynical and provocative killing during the Maidan rebellion."The findings of Ukrainian security chief's investigation and the Berkut arrests go some way towards meeting demands for justice over the killings. But many Ukrainians, disillusioned with what they see as a corrupt and mismanaged political system, want more dramatic change."The authorities want to appease us with these arrests. (But) they've not done enough and we see only cosmetic changes and we want radical reforms," said Ivan Kochmar, a 37-year-old resident of Kiev.-(Editing by Timothy Heritage and Giles Elgood)
03 Apr. 2014 - Remarks by NATO Deputy Secretary General Ambassador Alexander Vershbow
at the Vilnius Conference 2014 ‘’NATO’s Open Door: Ten years after the ‘’big bang’’ ‘--These remarks were delivered at the Minsters’ roundtable on the “Relevance of NATO’s Open Door Policy”
NATO’s open door is the theme of many meetings these days, and understandably so. At our Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Brussels earlier this week, we celebrated the “big bang” enlargement of 10 years ago, and also the “smaller bangs” that came before it in 1999 and after it in 2009. I believe we have every reason to celebrate, because NATO’s open door policy has been a great success.It has been a great success, first of all, for our 12 new members. They enjoy greater security than they could ever achieve alone. They have a seat at the table where key decisions are made to shape our strategic environment; they have Allies with whom to share the common burden of defence; and of course, they have the ultimate security guarantee of Article 5 of our founding treaty, which has been highlighted in the context of the crisis with Russia over Ukraine these past few weeks.As an Alliance, we have been strengthened by the strong commitment of our 12 new members to our defining values – freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. We have benefitted from the capabilities of our new Allies, and from their contributions to our operations and exercises. And we have benefited from their fresh ideas to help forge the consensus that is the basis of everything we do.But the benefits of the admission of new members into NATO go well beyond the Alliance. Alongside the enlargement of the European Union, it has helped to erase many of the painful Cold War dividing lines on our continent. And it has brought us much closer to our goal of a Europe whole, free and at peace.Today, the prospect of joining our Alliance continues to act as a strong incentive for aspirant nations to demonstrate responsibility and commitment; to stay on the path of democratic reform and reconciliation; and to find new solutions to old disputes.Finally, I would maintain that NATO enlargement has also been good for Russia. And I want to use this opportunity to refute the argument that some in Russia and elsewhere have made that NATO’s enlargement policy was deliberately designed to weaken Russia, and to “encircle” it, and that this policy played a part in prompting Russia to effectively annex parts of Georgia six years ago and to literally annex Crimea last month.The reality is that we have gone out of our way to reach out to Russia, and to reassure Russia. In the 1990s, we established a special forum for NATO allies to consult with Russia and conduct joint actions. We made unilateral commitments not to deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of the new members, not to permanently station substantial combat forces further east, and not to build NATO infrastructure beyond what might be required for reinforcement. Our forces worked shoulder to shoulder in implementing peace agreements in the former Yugoslavia. And we worked hard to engage Russia in dialogue and cooperation on issues of common concern, such as counter-terrorism and counter-piracy – with some considerable success.Moreover, rather than threaten Russia, NATO’s enlargement – along with that of the European Union -- has spread stability, democracy and the rule of law all across Europe. Russia’s western borders have never been more secure. And large parts of Central and Eastern Europe have seen unprecedented economic development and cross-border trade and investment, from which Russia has also benefitted.It is regrettable that all that progress has now been put at risk by Russia’s readiness to use force to redraw borders and create new dividing lines. In the face of this challenge, it is now more important than ever to uphold the principle that every nation is free to choose its own fate. We must stick to our vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace. And we must keep our NATO door open to help to make that vision a reality.Our next NATO Summit in Wales in September will be an important opportunity to demonstrate that determination. We will show solidarity, unity of purpose, and our unbreakable commitment to Article 5 of our founding Treaty. But we will also show a similarly strong commitment to Article 10, which affirms that our Alliance is open to the inclusion of new members who can contribute to our common security.We want to offer an unambiguous Euro-Atlantic perspective to interested countries, and to make clear that any decisions on their inclusion in our Alliance are for NATO members alone to take, on the basis of their individual merits and their ability to meet the obligations and responsibilities of membership. No third nation has a veto over such decisions.NATO will continue to stand up for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and all our other partners. We will continue to respect their security choices. And we will keep working with those countries that wish to move from partnership with NATO to membership in NATO -- so that they too, in time, are ready to step through our open door.In conclusion, let me say to you, to our Russian friends and their hyperactive propaganda machine: NATO enlargement has not exhausted itself. It has been a resounding success, it has made Europe -- including Russia -- more secure, and it remains a central pillar of NATO's future.
