Feud over Kiev sniper carnage, Washington Post uses MP Morkal as source

KIEV, Ukraine (AP/WaPo)— One of the biggest mysteries hanging over the protest mayhem that drove Ukraine’s president from power: Who was behind the snipers who sowed death and terror in Kiev?

That riddle has become the latest flashpoint of feuding over Ukraine — with the nation’s fledgling government and the Kremlin giving starkly different interpretations of events that could either undermine or bolster the legitimacy of the new rulers.

…
Russia’s U.N. envoy said he discussed the leaked phone call during a closed-door meeting of the U.N. Security Council. If the call represents the truth, Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters, “it is hard to imagine how such a parliament … can be regarded as a legitimate parliament that can pass legitimate decisions on the future of Ukraine.”

A former top security official with Ukraine’s main security agency, the SBU, waded into the confusion, in an interview published Thursday with the respected newspaper Dzerkalo Tizhnya [English]. Hennadii Moskal, who was deputy head of the agency [??], told the newspaper that snipers from the Interior Ministry and SBU were responsible for the shootings, not foreign agents.

Cross-posted from European Tribune where my diaries were met with ehh, some scepsis …

Chesno (Honestly) – USAID

Publication in Дзеркало Tizhnya – Hennadii Moskal, MP from the Fatherland party [id. MP with sniper rifle in car], accuses:

16.01.2014 Berkut forces from Crimea were responsible for escalation of violence on 30 November 2013 under orders from police chiefs Oleg Marynenko.
26.02.2014 Moskal reveals a list of SBU subversive tactics prepared for Maidan revolt
27.02.2014 Moskal states Crimea insurgents are well trained “Berkut” who were discharged by new parliament, seeks urgency
07.03.2014 SBU Nalyvaychenko and Interior Minister Avakov say snipers represented a “third force”, rejected by Moskal as a white-wash of its agents

WhoIs Hennadii Moskal

Not at all surprised, a USAID funded NGO Chesno with previous funding by Omidyar:

    According to the leaked papers, a network of interlocking NGOs – Chesno (Honestly), Center UA and Stop Censorship, to name a few – were growing in influence in Ukraine by “targeting pro-Yanukovych politicians with a well-coordinated anti-corruption campaign that built its strength in Ukraine’s regions, before massing in Kiev last autumn.”

    The fundraising papers show that from October 2011 to December 2012 USAID provided Chesno with a hefty sum of over $421,000, while also planting nine of Center UA experts on its staff whose duty it was to manage the NGO’s affairs on the regional level, coordinate its efforts, provide photo and video coverage, as well as creative input.

You’re welcome. These NGO links were covered in my earlier diaries.

Continued … plus an update

So I continued to post @Moon of Alabama …

For lurkers here @BooMan interested to listen to Pepe Escobar, talking about Europe and the Ukraine, a 50 minute  recording here.

Pepe Escobar, a journalist for the Asia Times, talks Ukraine on ANC report

Pepe Escobar talks Ukraine, mentions website Moon of Alabama:

Strategy at the White House is a bloody joke. Escobar talks about the Banderists and the Svoboda party. Talks about the 1997 bilateral agreement between Russia and the Ukraine. Ukraine strategy ghost written by Nicholas Burns in FT  is voice of the city of London.

See my post in previous article here @MofA.

I will update here @BooMan and @MofA. More goodies to follow below the fold …

Found out shill-reporting for Russian oligarchs at Bad Orange and US websites using MP Hennadii Moskal as source. See The Interpreter and project for Modern Russia, registered by Pavel Petrovich Ivlev, ex Yukos lawyer.

    The Interpreter is underwritten by two registered non-profit organizations: the London-based Herzen Foundation [??] and the New York-based Institute of Modern Russia, of which the journal is a special project.

    Both organizations are committed to the advancement of democratic values and institutions in the Russian Federation.

various stooges for the new ukraine junta are running a coordinated campaign to blame russia for the snipers

On Thursday, Russia’s UN envoy said he discussed the leaked phone call during a closed-door meeting of the UNSC. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters:

If the call represents the truth, it is hard to imagine how such a parliament can be regarded as a legitimate parliament that can pass legitimate decisions on the future of Ukraine.

A former top security official with Ukraine’s main security agency, the SBU, waded into the confusion in an interview published Thursday with the respected newspaper Dzerkalo Tizhnya. Hennady Moskal, who was deputy head of the agency, told the newspaper that snipers from the Interior Ministry and SBU were responsible for the shootings, not foreign agents. He was quoted as saying:

    “In addition to this, snipers received orders to shoot not only protesters, but also police forces. This was all done in order to escalate the conflict, in order to justify the police operation to clear Maidan.”

Now, the exposure:
