Ukraine, Kiev, at least one dead and 90 injured

1 Settembre 2015 BreakingNews @en/Europe di

At least one dead and about 90 injured, mostly policemen and volunteers of the National Guard Ukraine, after a series of bombs exploded in Kiev, in front of Parliament, by nationalist militants, in particular due to Svoboda. Protests flared up following the approval of the first draft of the constitutional reform on institutional decentralization, in line with Minsk 2, which provides special status for Donetsk and Lugansk.

Therefore, a return to protests in Kiev clashes of Maidan one year and half ago. If Minsk 2 so far had not been observed yet in Donbass, now Nazis groups do not want to give autonomy to Eastern Ukraine. The same political party that, in recent months, has enlist the highest numbers of volunteers against pro-Russian separatists.

Beyond jihadists’ question, in addition to Ukrainian economic crisis and to a public debt out of control, there is the problem of cohabitation in Ukraine. The question is not only the end of conflict within the country and, at international level, involving NATO and Russia, but the return to normality: far-right and Islamist militants may constitute a real problem near Europe.

7 dead and at least 15 wounded in the Donbass between 25 and 26 of May: 4 militants, 2 civilians (as a result of the bombing of the steel plant of Avdiyivka) and 1 soldier. To report figures were Andriy Lysenko, spokesman of Kiev Army, and Eduard Basurin, Vice Minister of Defense of Donetsk.

But the ceasefire decided in Minsk last February is always more unsteady. 7 separatist soldiers were indeed killed following an attack on the Lugansk-Perevalsk motorway on 24th May. Among them, Alexiei Mozgovoi, Commander of the ‘Phantom Brigade’, one of the most influential leaders of the pro-Russian front. The charges are relapses immediately on the Ukrainian government, but Kiev said that the murder would take place after rebels settled a score.
