This recent event started when the protestors killed a bunch of retreating cops with bullets, firebombs, and other lethal means. And then took 50 of them hostage.
In 1 years time it will turn out that everything you have been told was a lie. Just like in the last 5-6 wars.
Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

Story about opposition taking hostage dozens of police is all over the news (Russian news at least, I am not sure if it is reaching the English-speaking media yet).
- IgorPartola 13y agoThese pictures are either of the Ukrainian police, not protesters, or show no indication of actually being in Ukraine. Also, Russian news is full of propaganda trying to show the protesters as the ones causing the violence. Anything from independent sources, such as Reuters or AP?
- shitgoose 13y agoOn which picture you see Ukrainian police?
- IgorPartola 13y agoFirst and third. The shield is the Ukrainian police's riot shield.
- vetinari 13y agoThey took hostages from Berkut. Rebels do have police equipment. Also, notice the gun used? It is not exactly police issue.
- levosmetalo 13y agoThe same Berkut that captured, beated, took clothes and forced a man to dance naked in the snow, all while laughing and making fun of him. And left him bloody in the snow afterwards? In some other country that same Berkut would be prosecuted. I don't say I support violence without trial against them, but I can perfectly understand why would someone do it.
- shitgoose 13y agoDoes Berkut also have Ukrainian flags sticking out of their pockets?
