Tymoshenko bites back at her party's "barefoot grouch" Savchenko

Translated by J. Arnoldski

Tymoshenko has had enough of Savchenko’s criticism of her. The whole point is that she thinks that Savchenko has “just snapped” and is doing whatever she pleases. After all, we can all see and hear how disdainful she is towards her fellow deputies. She puts her feet up on the chair, walks barefoot around the parliament, and hurls accusations against politicians, including the president. But Nadezhda’s biggest problem is with the leader of the “Fatherland” party, Tymoshenko. Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko has reciprocated these feelings. At the latest session of the Verkhovna Rada, she expressed to Nadezhda everything she thinks about her.

After all, Tymoshenko understands that a bright leader has appeared on the political arena who is completely uncontrollable and could overshadow her own “idiocy” and arrogance. 

Savchenko publicly supported the fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements: “We will do everything we can to ensure that they are fulfilled.” 

And now Tymoshenko is categorically against such. She has repeatedly subjected them to harsh criticism. It can be said that a “new violin” has appeared in the Verkhovna Rada which is being played out of tune, but nonetheless loudly, which cannot but scare the ex-prime minister, Tymoshenko, and all of her entourage.

According to the leader of the faction "Fatherland", the government together with the President signed these documents, "behind the Parliament and the people."

Ukrainian MP Yulia Tymoshenko demanded that the President disclose the details of the negotiations between the leaders of Ukraine and international lenders from the IMF. According to her, the results of these consultations so far have a secret character. Tymoshenko insists that the commitments made by Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk "behind the back of Parliament and the people" have been delivered to Parliament.

"The document is secret. I can say, as the leader of the faction: I did not see it when it was a draft, it was not discussed in our group, there was no debate in society. And, as a consequence, we have received the completed document, namely, the obligation of the President and Prime Minister to the International Monetary Fund... I hold it in my hands, it's really scary, " said Yulia Tymoshenko. "I demand to make the documents signed with the International Monetary Fund public.

According to head of "Fatherland", among Ukraine's commitments to the IMF is the lifting of the moratorium on the privatization of agricultural land, the refusal of benefits to domestic farmers, as well as the increase in retail electricity tariffs.

As a reminder, on 1st May, the cabinet of the country fulfilled the requirements of the IMF on internal gas prices, bringing them up to the level of the market. In other words, the cost of "blue fuel" to the population is at the same cost as industrial enterprises.

Ally of Tymoshenko: Ukraine Is Planning to Completely Ban the Moscow Patriarchate

Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ

The Ukrainian government has submitted a bill to the Verkhovna Rada on the complete prohibition of the legal and factual activities of the Moscow Patriarchate on the territory of Ukraine. This was reported by the correspondent of EAdaily, quoting the Ukrainian political analyst Volodymyr Yavorivsky, a former Verkhovna Rada Deputy from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc", member of the self-proclaimed "Kiev Patriarchate", and a member of the "orange revolution" in 2004 and "euromaidan."

"This is because the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate do not take up a patriotic stance," says Yavorivsky. In particular, they refuse to read at the burial of soldiers killed in Donbass. I myself saw in the village or district center bodies brought from the ATO area for burial according to Christian tradition. In some regions of Ukraine there are no priests of the Greek Catholic Church or the Kiev Patriarchate, there is only the Moscow Patriarchate. So the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate, when they were invited to the burial of dead soldiers, refused to perform their priestly duty."

According to Yavorivsky, the alleged ban in Ukraine on activities of the Moscow Patriarchate is due to the recent initiative of the Ukrainian authorities about the creation of a single local Autocephalous Church in Ukraine. "Ukraine wants to have its own Church, with the center in Kiev, explained Yavorivsky. "And the acting in Ukraine Moscow Patriarchate is closely associated with the regime of Vladimir Putin, who occupied Crimea and unleashed military actions in Eastern Ukraine".

"Many politicians and public figures have long proposed to declare the Moscow Patriarchate as a terrorist organization, as is done in Russia, for example, with the "Muslim brotherhood," said the Ukrainian political analyst. "But I don't think it will come to such drastic wording. As a politician with years of experience, I understand that a religious war is the most dangerous that there can be. I think that the Ukrainian authorities will go a civilized way: The Moscow Patriarchate will explain that because its center is in Moscow, it has nothing to do with Ukraine. That could leave the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP) has some long-established parishes, will be left for parishioners. But the UOC-MP explained that the role it plays for Ukraine and Ukrainians is completely unacceptable".

Yavorivsky also reported that they are going to take away the ancient orthodox shrine Kiev-Pechersk Lavra from the Moscow patriarchy for the transfer to the Kiev patriarchy. "As a parishioner of the Kiev Patriarchate, I know it was discussed in the Kiev city administration and the city Parliament of Kiev. All three laurels of Ukraine — Kiev-Pechersk, Pochayiv and Svyatogorsk — belong to the Moscow Patriarchate. The Ukrainian authorities believe that this is extremely unfair," said the ally of Yulia Tymoshenko.

As was reported by EAdaily, from the moment of the coup d'etat in Ukraine, the number of seizures of churches of the UOC of MP rapidly increased. Moreover, the Ukrainian "patriots" do not hesitate to attack the priests, among whom there are a growing number of victims. The last act of "restorative justice" became yesterday's arson in the Kiev Church of the Holy Transfiguration in Obolonskyi deanery of the UOC-MP.
