Ukraine in 48-hour ultimatum to east's pro-Russia activists

[The Magistrate]

42. So Is The Disarming Of The Separatists In Donets, Sir

There is not one thing you say about 'right sector' that does not apply with equal or greater force to the outbreaks in the east. It is, in fact, the outbreaks in the east which are the current source of destabilization and the focus of violence at present.

When Russia moves to disarm the gangs it has raised in the east, and removes the special forces operatives it has deployed to direct them, then Russia, and those who here support Russian imperialism, will have some ground from which to complain of 'inaction' by the Kiev government. At present, that government's chief need is the restoration of authority and order in portions of its territory where armed gangs in service to a foreign power with annexationist ambitions have put both central authority and peaceable order at bay.
