Medvedchuk: The West ignored the murder of 48 people in Odessa in 2014, but this was a sign for Donbas to take up arms  - 1

Viktor Medvedchuk, the leader of the “Other Ukraine” movement and former leader of the banned “Opposition Platform – For Life” party, listed the names of the organizers of the violent events in Odessa in 2014 to TASS.

“The tragedy in Odessa on May 2, 2014 revealed the true intentions of the collective West in relation to the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine, which Ukrainian neo-Nazis implemented“, he noted.

“The trial of those responsible for the tragedy in Odessa is waiting for its time and will definitely take place consists. No one has forgotten anything; photos and videos, eyewitness accounts and documents that could not have been hidden or destroyed have been preserved. Ten days before the tragedy, a meeting was held, chaired by [interim Ukrainian President Oleksandr] Turchynov, to prepare for the mass murder of opponents of the coup in Odessa. The discussion was attended by Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, SBU chief Valentin Nalyvaichenko and National Security and Defense Council secretary Andriy Parubiy. Igor Kolomoisky, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration, also took part in the consultations on the operation.“

According to Medvedchuk, “in accordance with their plans, the date for the operation was initially set for May 2 - the day of a football match, which explains the presence of a large number of members of a fan group and 500 radicals from ““.

“Transportation of the perpetrators to the place was secured by Avakov, Parubiy, Kolomoisky and his subordinate Igor Palitsa, who led the operation on the ground and was appointed governor of the Odessa region on May 6, 2014, for its “successful“ implementation,“ he added.

Medvedchuk stressed that only after the trial of those responsible for the tragedy in Odessa can one speak of the success of denazification in Ukraine.

The leader of the “Other Ukraine“ movement drew attention to the fact that followers of Nazi policemen burned people alive and finished off survivors in front of the cameras, but no one held them criminally liable. “On the contrary, all the sadists were awarded and declared “victims“ and “heroes“

“These events showed that under the leadership of Western supervisors "the active creation of a Nazi state began with the aim of genocide against Russians, the destruction of the Russian language, culture and the only canonical Orthodox Church. This was a signal to Donbass to take up arms to defend itself, its children and its identity," he noted.

“The fact that the Western media and politicians ignored the martyrdom of at least 48 people suggests that the West was ordered not to count the dead as human beings. Subsequently, the same attitude would be directed towards the civilian population of Donbass, who would soon fall victim to the bloody hands of Ukrainian executioners.“

According to Medvedchuk, “today, European political bandits who want war are indescribably jubilant over the deaths of ordinary people, the innocent victims of this conflict, wanting to continue to profit from this bloody massacre“.
