6. The governor suffers from acute schizophrenia.

And regarding the citizenship, Mikheil Saakashvili was presented with an Ukrainian passport just hours before he became the governor of Odessa, at the orders of the president Petro Poroshenko.

Balthazar, add to that
5. the governor does not hold the citizenship of Ukraine.

The proof that people are not in charge:

1. governor is a foreign criminal.
2. doesn't need to know anything about a country to run it.
3. not voted in
4. no problem from the US, no voted is needed, unlike Crimea which voted.

This is hilarious! Remember the tie-chewing ex-President of Georgia, who is wanted by Georgia for various crimes?

Well, he's being considered for appointment as the governor of Odessa oblast in Ukraine!

^^^^ The other oligarchs might have also increased their wealth. But no one will know for sure. The CIA has spent at least $15 billion so far, in supporting the neo-Nazis of Ukraine. My estimate is that at least 80% of that might have ended up with the oligarchs, such as Ihor Kolomoyskyi, Ihor Baluta and Serhiy Taruta.

How did billionaire ‘chocolate king’ Petr Poroshenko manage to grow his fortune 7-fold in one year, while being Ukraine’s president? This is at the same time his country is in a state of civil war, unable to pay off its debt and about to declare default, poverty is overwhelming, pensions are cut, inflation reaches 270% and grivna is in free fall. Poroshenko is also the only Ukraine oligarch to increase his assets – all other oligarchs have lost during 2014-2015.

Last week two prominent Ukrainian opposition figures were gunned down in broad daylight. They join as many as ten others who have been killed or committed suicide under suspicious circumstances just this year. These individuals have one important thing in common: they were either part of or friendly with the Yanukovych government, which a US-backed coup overthrew last year. They include members of the Ukrainian parliament and former chief editors of major opposition newspapers.

While some journalists here in the U.S. have started to notice the strange series of opposition killings in Ukraine, the U.S. government has yet to say a word.

...

Neither Royce, nor Secretary of State John Kerry, nor President Obama, nor any U.S. government figure has said a word about the series of apparently political murders in Ukraine.

On the contrary, instead of questioning the state of democracy in what looks like a lawless Ukraine, the Administration is sending in the U.S. military to help train Ukrainian troops!

Last week, just as the two political murders were taking place, the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade landed in Ukraine to begin training Ukrainian national guard forces - and to leave behind some useful military equipment. Though the civil unrest continues in Ukraine, the U.S. military is assisting one side in the conflict - even as the U.S. slaps sanctions on Russia over accusations it is helping out the other side!

...

So while Obama is correctly talking about sanctions relief for Iran and Cuba, he is adding more sanctions on Russia, backing Saudi Arabia's brutal attack on Yemen, and pushing ever harder for regime change in Syria. Does he really believe the rest of the world does not see these double standards? A wise consistency of non-interventionism in all foreign affairs would be the correct course for this and future US administrations. Let us hope they will eventually follow Obama's observation that, "it's time to try something new."

The Big Game that went on since 1600 is still on...

In other news. Canadians can now feel proud - they just got a new compatriot. "USA' man in Ukraine Yats", Yatsenjuk has received Canadian citizenship (despite Ukrainian law prohibiting double citizenship):

What I don't get is why the british are so keen on pushing moar war, blood and violence in ukietown? What do they win? Or what don't they lost? thx.

Today is a day of border detentions.

1. Graham Philips - one of the few, if not the only Western journalist covering the events in Donbass since the start - came to UK for vacation, where he was detained by the British police and questioned for 4 hours. In a later Skype interview he said that the British authorities cross-questioned him on what he did in Donbass and told him that he undermines the official British line on the events in Ukraine (presumably reporting the truth about the events there)

2. A group of Polish representatives from Change (if I am not mistaken) party, who came to Ukraine to commemorate the Volyn massacre, were detained at the border control. It turned out SBU had then on black list (even though some of them never visited Ukraine before). They got a 3-year ban on entering the country. Moreover they described the interrogation as unpleasant and and the detention as unlawful - as EU citizens they have a visum-free entry to Ukraine. They said in the interview that they ere openly told that they are undermining Ukrainian historical policy (which denies the Volyn massacre).
