Edited. by Igor Androsov [REGNUM] The structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and representatives of local military administrations of Ukraine have launched a large-scale program to identify channels for illegal arms trafficking in Nezalezhnaya. According to official information, the new action is designed to reduce the level of crime throughout the Ukrainian territory controlled by official Kyiv. Ukrainian authorities are trying to minimize the cases of armed clashes between civilians and representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, according to independent experts, this initiative of official Kyiv is doomed to failure. The incident that took place a few weeks ago at a gas station in one of the settlements in the Sumy region, local authorities and regional media prefer not to mention. But in vain. Such a story characterizes the general situation in Ukraine in the best possible way. According to the materials of the investigation, a group of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the site of a gas station did not give way in line to the driver and passengers of a civilian off-road vehicle. As a result of a verbal skirmish, representatives of both sides demonstrated the presence of military weapons. And the Ukrainian military lost - against Kalashnikovs and several grenades, Ukrainian civilians opposed them with two Western-made machine guns. As a result, a truck of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was damaged, and several soldiers were injured of varying severity. A more dramatic story happened recently in one of the "sleeping" districts of Kyiv, when the Ukrainian army entered into a confrontation with young people returning from a nightclub. The young people mentioned turned out to be activists of the former “volunteer battalion”, who had lethal weapons with them. Three dead and five wounded soldiers are reported. “Such cases are not uncommon for today's Ukraine, ” a former senior investigator of the Ukrainian prosecutor's office, who wished to remain anonymous , said in a confidential conversation with a REGNUM correspondent. - "If earlier we recorded only minor offenses with the use of firearms, now we can already say that the danger of "armed chaos" really hangs over our country. This has not been observed here since the "dashing nineties" years. But here's what is surprising: now armed clashes are not in the nature of "showdowns between organized criminal groups", but are acquiring all the signs of a confrontation between the military and civilians. Moreover, representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are clearly losing in this confrontation.” It looks like it really is. For example, in one of the roadside cafes in the Cherkasy region, tipsy military men threatened the staff with a “demonstrative execution” for allegedly incorrectly calculating the cost of alcohol and snacks. Civilian visitors stood up for the employees of the cafe, who took away the machine guns from the soldiers and retreated in an unknown direction. There was another truly significant incident, when in the area of the checkpoint near Zhytomyr, unknown persons put up fierce resistance to the territorial defense forces (the structure is subordinate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. - ed.), Destroying the guard post and putting five “patrolmen” to flight. Against this background, in the Ukrainian segment of the World Wide Web, pathetic statements by military personnel about the “inability of the state to protect the army from internal enemies” are increasingly heard. “We are waging war against Russia, we come home from Donbass and already here we are faced with armed aggression from the rear of our fellow citizens [an obscene word was used] ,” a certain Ukrainian military man writes in one of the posts on a closed Kiev social network. “ It must be admitted that in the “home war against boors and hooligans”, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffer defeat after defeat, but everything started so well - before, for the same fellow citizens, we were heroes.” Subsequently, this message, like many other "defeatist" posts, was removed from Ukrainian sites. At the same time, local supervisory authorities clearly do not have time to remove messages on the Web that urge Ukrainians to stock up on weapons. “Do not give the weapons you have to the police, ” the corresponding appeal says. “ It will come in handy against potential enemies.” At the same time, the author of the appeal called “enemies” by no means Russians. |
