THE RUSSIAN “VOENTORH” GAVE THE NEXT DEADLY ‘GIFTS’ TO THE TERRORISTS. On 1st of April they fixed the movement of 28 transport units from the territory of Russia to the occupied areas of the Donbass. Also from Russia other 8 units of special equipment entered the occupied areas of the Donbass. A big part of the transport was moving in the north direction through Alchevsk, Debaltseve, Enakieve. Another part of the columns was fixed between Krasniy Luch and Debaltseve, near Shahtersk also two columns were seen (6 and 7 trucks and covered military vehicles). In addition, they send through Alchevsk and Stakhanov the engineering (construction) equipment to the forefront of the terrorists in the area of Bahmutska route (one grader, one bulldozer and two excavators), which were moving in the columns and also separately in the direction of the terrorists. The Russian terrorist troops continue to move the engineering equipment towards the positions of the terrorists in the Crimean and Artemovsk directions. At the railway station of Debaltseve where a temporary train unloading place is equipped a train of freight wagons (11 units) of ammunition, some food and equipment arrived.

In cooperation with the prosecution of the Lugansk region they initiated criminal proceedings on the grounds of crimes under Art.113 (“sabotage”) and art.111 (“high treason”) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

THE FEDERAL SECURITY SERVICE OF RUSSIA UNDERMINES UKRAINE. Russia is using the terrorists to conduct a “hybrid war” against Ukraine. The Security Service of Ukraine claims that Russia has entered a new phase of its campaign to destabilize Ukraine and in February 22d in Kharkov a blast was only one of a series of explosions, organized by the Russian security services FSB and GRU. All this begins from the 16th and 18th FSB security centers, operating in the Russian Skolkovo. These centers lead the information war. They send out propaganda, disinformation from the social networks. Pictures from Syria with new signatures, war crimes from Serbia - all used for the radicalization and further recruitment of the Ukrainians. Here is one example of such a terrorist unit of three people from Dnepropetrovsk. Now these people are being judged. They were recruited by the FSB. First they got instructions in the form of personal messages in internet and in some cases through the social network “VKontakte”. When they were detained and arrested in their homes, there they found explosives, grenades, means of communication and message boards - where to set bombs and where they should be placed to provoke panic. Now they monitor the activities of approximately 600 “anti - Ukrainian” groups in social networks with hundreds of thousands of members. Currently they intercepted the correspondence of 29 active group administrators and individuals, who use the accounts associated with the Russian special services. Every week in Ukraine there are the incidents, which somehow connected with terrorism. Those, who made an explosion in Kharkiv - organization called “Kharkiv partisans”, they say that they intended to attack the military men and politicians, who were in the front ranks of the march. Russia claims meaningless accusations like an explosions campaign is an attempt of Ukraine to discredit Russia. When we see the consequences of these explosions for Ukraine - damage to the economy, potential investments and infrastructure, the idea that Ukraine itself undermines is almost crazy. Russia is using “partisans” to expand its hybrid war in Ukraine. Already there are many photos, which were made by independent sources, videos and unstructured evidence that show Russia takes an active part in the conflict in Ukraine, although Russian officials continue to deny that they help the separatists and fund terrorism. www.euroleader.in.ua

THE VOLUNTEER AFTER THE CAPTIVITY IN THE “DONETSK PEOPLE REPUBLIC” FAINTS AND CRIES: I KNOW NOW WHAT HELL IS”. April 2, thanks to the efforts of the organization “Patriot” and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine from the captivity of the “DPR” a volunteer Basyl Kozak was released. Kozak together with other volunteers was greeted at a checkpoint near Mariinka. It turned out that Vasyl Kozak is from the Kherson region, village Komunarivka, he worked as a head of the village council until August 2014 when he became a volunteer in the area of ATO. He drove to the soldiers the things from their relatives and friends he helped as he could. Kozak was captured in March 16th 2015 at one of the checkpoints of the Donetsk region. “I have known hell in my life “- Ukrainian volunteer said, barely standing on his legs and occasionally losing consciousness. According to his words, in the captivity of the terrorists there are still of a lot of our volunteers, soldiers and ordinary citizens. Kozak is sure that the terrorists of the “Donetsk People Republic” are “worse than USSR and Hitler together”. Thus, to the direct question from the reporters about whether he will continue to engage in volunteering in the area of ATO, Kozak said clearly: “Of course, there are our guys there”. Assistant to the Advisor of Minister of Defense of Ukraine Vasyl Budyko said that an international charitable foundation had been already created to deal with rehabilitation and employment of the people, returning from captivity. Oleg Horoshyh, the Department of interaction on the release of prisoners at the Ministry of Defense said that the hardest work is the search for those captured. There is the data that at April 4 in the captivity of the terrorists there are 195 Ukrainian military men.
EVERY WEEK THE STATE SECURITY SERVICE OF UKRAINE DETAINS 10 RUSSIAN SUBVERSIVE GROUPS. The terrorists, intelligence and sabotage groups that are sent, also from abroad or were trained abroad should be disarmed far away from the approaches to the city. And today, the State Security Service of Ukraine in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies detains up to 10 subversive units weekly. The emergence of such armed men on the streets of Ukrainian cities is unacceptable. www.euroleader.in.ua

EUROLEADER 2014 THE STATE SECURITY SERVICE OF UKRAINE DETAINED A COMMUNIST-DEPUTY, WHO LED A SUBVERSIVE GROUP.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region the State Security Service of Ukraine detained one of the deputy of the district council of the Communist Party in the region, who organized a subversive group and planned the acts of terrorism in the region. It was found that last spring a resident of Shirokino (the Dnipropetrovsk region) was recruited on the peninsula of the Crimea by the representatives of the special services of the Russian Federation. He, according to their task, established a contact with the separatists of the “Donetsk People Republic” and “Luhansk People Republic”. He passed through the social networks the information on the movement of military equipment of Ukraine to the separatists. The subversive group led by the communist- deputy had planned to made the attacks on highways, near the administrative buildings, military commissioners and volunteer centres of Kriviy Rig. During the searches in his apartment they found the traumatic weapons, transformed into military weapons, grenades “F-1”, computers with the materials that prove the criminal activity and balaclavas ( masks for face). In this regard, a criminal case under part 1 of article 258-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - “creating a terrorist group” was started. The investigation continues.
THE INVADERS DESTROY EVERYTHING WHAT IS UKRAINIAN: FROM THE UKRAINIAN SCHOOLS IN THE CRIMEA ONLY ONE IN YALTA REMAINED. Deputy of Chairman of the Crimean field mission on Human Rights Olga Skrypnyck said that although on the occupied peninsula there are three official languages: Ukrainian, Russian, Crimean Tatar, but the real situation is quite different. For example, if we talk about the Ukrainian language, the pupils, who study in the Ukrainian schools, are 6 times less now. There are no Ukrainian TV channels. The same thing happens to the Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR. After the annexation of the Crimea by Russia in March 2014 on the peninsula they reduced the number of teachers of Ukrainian language and from the Ukrainian schools in the Crimea only one school in Yalta remained. www.euroleader.in.ua
