Mythical Minsk "peace plan" doesn't work!

Though Ukraine, Russia, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the representatives of non-existing so-called Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics agreed peace plan yet on 5th September 2014 in Minsk, where memorandum about needful steps towards the implementation of this peaceful agreement was also signed by the second Ukraine's President Leonid Kuchma, the Ambassador of Russian Federation in Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, OSCE Ambassador Heidi Tagliavini, and leaders of non-existing Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics Oleksandr Zakharchenko and Ihor Plotnitsky on 19th September 2014, but! That Minsk "peace plan" has left on the paper, there is no any truce and any cease-fire from the side of pro-Russian terrorists and Russian soldiers who are continueing to attack military positions of the members of Ukrainian antiterrorist operation, while Ukrainian soldiers have a forbiddance to attack the enemies' positions because of above-mentioned signed memorandum. Nonsense! Ukrainian fighters were shelled by pro-Russian terrorists and Russian soldiers more than 1000 times since mythical cease-fire, declared on 19th September. Every day Russian and pro-Russian fighters continue to shell Donbas cities and localities, they continue to kill, to wound or to steal Ukrainian civilians and militaries. And Ukrainian state power can't identify in time all dead Ukraine's defenders, so cases of the interments of unidentified ATO members frequented and it became real sad problem for their relatives. Pro-Russian terrorists and Russian soldiers still gun hospitals, schools, airports, factories, thermal power plants, coal mines, residential areas in Donbas and Donbas population must hide in bomb shelters. For example, Russian terrorists have already gun thermal power plant in Shchastya (Luhansk region) two times since announced Minsk peace plan and all Luhansk region abandoned twice without electiricty - on 17th September and 9th October 2014. At that time on 4th October 2014 representatives of Ukraine, Russia and OSCE began so-called delimitation of weapons-free zone of 30 km width which had to be created according to 19th September's memorandum, which doesn't work! What can Donbas safety zone be created and delimited, when the number of killed, injured, captive and disappeared Ukrainian defenders of homeland is still growing? When so-called government of non-existing DNR (Donetsk people's republic) organized the celebration of six-months-existence of their mythical DNR on 5th October 2014 in Donetsk and posted up on the special city's scene placard with the inscription "Novorossiya" (New Russia)!
But it seems that present Ukraine's President doesn't worry about it, because Petro Poroshenko is busy to prepare political block named after his name to extraordinary parliamentary elections, which will be hold on 26th October 2014. That's why nowadays Poroshenko actively visits different Ukrainian regions with political agitation, while ATO members maybe will not have a possibility to vote at these future parliamentary elections, while only less than a half of Donbas population can vote, as Head of Ukraine's Central Elective Commission Mykhaylo Okhendovskyy said yesterday! So does present Ukrainian state power take care for Ukraine and its citizens? I have the doubts, especially after seeing media reports about terrible conditions of ATO members' staying in the fields, civilians' being in the bomb shelters and destroying of Donbas settlements during this false "truce" and false-declared cease-fire.

President-oligarch with pro-Russian shade

At first in Ukrainian history official billionaire was elected President of Ukraine in 2014 and it was Petro Poroshenko, oligarch who has business in different countries, including Russia, where Poroshenko’s corporation “Roshen” owns factory in Lipetsk. P. Poroshenko had bought Lipetsk chocolate factory in 2001, but considering present difficult situation in Donbas, he would sell his business in Russian Federation to avoid Russian state power’s pressure on him. In general president Poroshenko likes to surround himself with billionaires and millionaires, for example, he doesn’t want to release from the posts Head of Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration oligarch-billionaire Ihor Kolomoyskyy, Head of Donetsk Regional State Administration  oligarch-billionaire Serhiy Taruta, Head of Odesa Regional State Administration millionaire Ihor Palytsya and Minister of Interior Affairs billionaire Arsen Avakov. Besides it president-businessman Poroshenko appointed banker-millionaire Valeriya Hontaryeva on the post of Head of National Bank of Ukraine, media magnate-billionaire Borys Lozhkin on the post of Head of Administration of the President and agrarian magnate-billionaire Yuriy Kosyuk on the post of the First Deputy of Head of Administration of the President. And Russian language is that thing which unites all these persons, including present President of Ukraine, because all of them are Russian-speaking people and Russian is their mother tongue. Even more, Head of Administration of the President Borys Lozhkin, Russian philologist by education, he received the award “Best media-manager of Russia” in 2008, and in July of 2013 Speaker of Council of Russian Federation Valentina Matviyenko rewarded him with honorary diploma of Council of Russian Federation for the development of Russian media in Ukraine and Russia and for the strengthening of the friendship between Russia and Ukraine. Then Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin, appointed on that post by President Petro Poroshenko, agrees with the idea of declaration of Russian language as the second official language in Ukraine. And indeed it’s a very strange how P. Klimkim, who was born in Moscow and graduated from Moscow Physical-Polytechnical Institute, could get a job in Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1993. Moreover Klimkin held a post of the First Deputy of Minister of Foreign Affairs since April of 2010 till June of 2012, that is a time of presidency of Viktor Yanukovych. Though both Ukraine’s presidents, former Yanukovych and present Poroshenko, were members of the Party of the Regions, and the more so that Poroshenko was one of co-founders of this political party. Maybe that’s why Petro Poroshenko appointed Serhiy Kuzmenko, people’s deputy and ex-member of the Party of the Regions (was its member until February 22nd, 2014) on the post of Head of Kirovohrad Regional State Administration on September 16th, 2014?

Another thing which connects V. Yanukovych and P. Poroshenko is their support of Russian Orthodox Church and Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate. Maybe that’s why Head of Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kiril was one of the first who publicly congratulated Poroshenko with a victory on the presidential elections-2014 yet before the announcement of the official results of these elections of Ukrainian president? And, of course, it wasn’t some casual meeting that Petro Poroshenko was one of the invited guests on the solemn litany from the occasion of 1025th anniversary of baptism of Kyiv Rus by the prince Volodymyr Velykyy, which was celebrated on July 27th, 2013 in Kyiv and where were invited and attend Ukraine’s state power of that time with president Viktor Yanukovych, many politicians from the Party of the Regions, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Head of Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kiril and other world’s Russian-oriented ecclesiastics and politicians.
