While the US claims the REFERENDUM in Crimea is illegal.
You can't make this stuff up.

(27,461 posts)and apparently the RW extremists are to some extent in conflict with the U.S.-supported regime, as well as with Russia:
Russia, which cited the likes of Right Sector as justification for its move to annex Crimea and protect the peninsula's ethnic Russian majority from Ukrainian "fascists", said this month that Muzychko was under investigation for fighting alongside rebels in Chechnya in the 1990s.

I would interpret that event as some sort of internecine warfare.
I stand by what I said about the US supporting anti-Semites.

(1,712 posts)The extreme right wing is NOT the bulk of the parties and pols who engineered the takeover. I'll put money on seeing more of this in the coming weeks as the folks in control purge their more extreme and thuggish "partners." History repeats. If anything, the EU and US are the impetus for this and, I'm sure, a few other deaths past and future. They don't want to do business with politicians who have "henchmen." Looks bad.

When I think about who is at the table of US foreign policy and international
cohorts, I envision having tea with Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter.

Ukrainian far-right activist shot dead by police.
A prominent Ukrainian far-right activist, part of a hardline nationalist movement that played a leading role in the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych, has been shot dead by police.
The interior ministry said officers from the Sokol special unit had killed Oleksander Muzychko, also known as Sashko Bily, as he tried to escape from a cafe in the western Ukrainian region of Rivne on Monday night.
"At the moment of arrest, at shouts of 'Stop! Police!', Muzychko fled, jumping through a window and opened fire," the first deputy interior minister, Volodymyr Yevdokimov, told a news conference in Kiev. The officers returned fire, killing Muzychko, he said.
Muzychko was a member of the hardline Right Sector and the group's co-ordinator for western Ukraine, the country's nationalist heartland bordering the EU. Police said he was wanted for hooliganism and an attack on a local prosecutor.

(35,568 posts)I was surprised to see such an even-handed article from the Guardian, then I looked up and saw "Reuters in Kiev".
The Guardian's reporting on Ukraine has been dismal. I'm sure Luke Harding will have a follow-up tomorrow making Muzychko out to be a cuddly boy scout.
