After the Ukrainian coup, young Mr. Yurash took up new digs, and could be seen introducing the new assistant Minister of Defense (Dimitri Yarosh) at press conferences, or standing behind him. Capitalizing on his new found fame within the junta this model of Nazi youth signed a contract with Andrei Parubi's Ministry of defense as the Official "International Press Secretariat" for the Defense Ministry of Ukraine "satisfying requests for assistance or information from foreign journalists." He writes the press releases and official information from the ministry distributed to foreign media. He also handles the social media Mr. Kerry is so wild about.

Gaining Experience in International Relations

A few months ago, as the entire world watched the Russians not building up troops on the border, Russia demanded proof from Ukraine for its claims. The response, an official letter from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, was in English with "links" to social websites showing pictures of Russian troops.

Russia could not understand why the response was in English and why proof between countries no longer came from official sources like satellite imagery but from Facebook pages. But John Kerry, Marie Harf, and the always enlightening Jen Psaki were quick to defend the intel value of Twitter and Youtube. After all, this young man was providing Obama the propaganda he needed to start sanctions against Russia, quite an accomplishment for someone who is scarecely of voting age!

Propaganda Kills

The entire mainstream media in Ukraine is now based on what Dimitri Tymchuk and Sviatoslav Yurash say. There are no other sources in Ukraine providing information on what is actually happening in Donbass. News reports are filled with "terrorists" who must be ethnically cleansed, according t o Tymchuk. June 27 :

" While the ceasefire was in effect, ATO forces wasted no time, and a number of measures that will significantly improve our operations were taken. Our military are ready to continue cleansing the land of Donbas of pro-Russian and Russian vermin. The decision is up to the Commander-in-Chief."

Young people signed up for the National Guard or Military to fight the always invading Russian army they were convinced by the news were occupying Donbass. When they refused to fire on unarmed civilians, they were killed. Propaganda kills. Mass graves filled with soldiers are being found in Donbass

Kiev's only Hope to Win the War in Novo Russia (Donbass)

On June 28th president Poroshenko told the European Union that he could not win the war in the Southeast. This statement had a double purpose. First he wants EU support for the genocidal operation, as a layer of protection later on. Secondly, it is meant to light a fire under Pravy Sektor so they become even more active.

Kiev's Only Hope

Although it enjoys a 10:1 troop ratio, imports mercenary groups and foreign fighters, and disposes of vastly superior equipment, Kiev knows it can only win if Russia invades Ukraine. If the Russian army crosses the border, that would draw in the United States and NATO. Kiev could make short work of the ethnic cleansing, certain to never be tried for crimes against humanity.

By June 1st Kiev had lost over $150 million worth of military equipment.

Where are the weapons in Donbass coming from?

So far, the army of the breakaway republic is getting its weapons from Kiev itself. Despite all the hype and propaganda to the contrary, the weapons Novo Russia, or New Russia (the name adopted for the combined Donbass republics), is using were initially Soviet era weapons taken from local armories. The upgraded weapons were captured from military units and bases taken over during the conflict.

Russian Prime Minister Dimiti Medvedev put it this way: Kiev should refrain from asking the West for new and larger weapons. It is losing on average 150 troops a day plus equipment. At this rate the army in Donbass will soon have all the weapons, and what will Kiev do then?
