Sniper duels on the Maidan
When Fria Tider asked Skillt about rumors that the Ukrainian opposition itself may have been behind the shootings of protestors on the Maidan, he says that he is aware of them, but puts no stock in them. However, he said he has spoken to two people who sniped at the police on the Maidan Square during the riots. They used Saiga semi-automatic rifles equipped with telescopic sights, and were positioned on the third floor of the Trade Unions Building on Maidan Square, Skillt said. Their mission was to take out Berkuts snipers, he added.
He also told us that he recently ran into a man in an American uniform, carrying an American-made rifle. It was a bit odd, but it turned out he was Ukrainian, Skillt said. He had a modified, short-barrel M-16 with a telescopic sight. We said a quick hello.

Remember Ernst Röhm? I wonder how many in Ukraine will believe he was killed by Russians

Röhm was a right wing thug himself and Hitler got rid of him because he was afraid he might....
