Elezioni Ucraina, errori nelle schede elettorali. Sospeso il voto in due città

L'Ambasciatore statunitense Geoffrey Pyatt, in qualità di rappresentante dei padroni della odierna Ucraina, con non poca stizza ha ancora una volta dato ordini ai funzionari ucraini, arrabbiandosi a causa del fallimento delle elezioni nella città di Mariupol.

"Prima di tutto, ci aspettiamo di essere informati da parte della Commissione elettorale centrale per quanto accaduto oggi a Mariupol. Chiediamo al Presidente dell'Ucraina Petro Poroshenko di mandare un messaggio sul fatto che sia necessario un esame approfondito e circa la sua intenzione di garantire che i cittadini di Mariupol possano esercitare il loro diritto come tutti i cittadini ucraini" - ha detto il padrone statunitense ai giornalisti a Kiev.

37% of Ukrainians regard Russians as family members or close friends. 20% say the same about Crimean Tatars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing for Politico, Maxim Tucker has written an intriquing profile of "Ukraine's most popular politician," former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili:

Odesa's regional governor, Mikheil Saakashvili

​

Former Georgian President and current Odessa Governor Mikhail Saakashvili says he would be prepared to take on the premiership of Ukraine in order to turn the country into a bulwark against Kremlin expansionism in Europe.

“I would like to take part in big changes and reforms, and in whatever capacity I can do it — I can do it,” he told POLITICO when asked about a potential prime ministerial campaign.

Speaking as regional elections revealed the crumbling powerbase of the country’s western-friendly government, he argued that only a strong and stable Ukraine could prevent Moscow from devouring more territory across the region.

“If Ukraine doesn’t contain Russia, I think Russia can easily wipe Georgia and the Baltic states from the map,” Saakashvili said during an exclusive interview in his new role as governor of Ukraine’s Odessa region. “A strong Ukraine is the biggest check on Russia.”

Ukrainians expressed widespread disillusionment with their political leaders at the recent elections, allowing pro-Russian candidates to win mayor and council positions across central and eastern Ukraine.

By contrast, a recent opinion poll found Saakashvili was the most popular politician in Ukraine. A petition calling for him to be made prime minister has gathered more than 30,000 signatures.

* * *

Working characteristically late on the top floor of a deserted regional administration, he stressed that leading the cabinet was not a position he “aspired to,” and that he would not be joining any political parties as long as they maintain ties to the country’s billionaire businessmen.

“It’s not the job I am dreaming of. I refused to run on a party list, I don’t want to have anything to do with oligarchs,” he said. “I want to be a standard-bearer for reforms.”

But he delivered a withering indictment of current Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his decision not to participate in the elections.

“It’s not a normal thing for the prime minister’s party not to run in local elections — if you don’t want to test your popularity I don’t think you have a mandate to make reforms,” said Saakashvili.

He accused Yatsenyuk of bypassing ministers and creating a “shadow cabinet” that represents vested business interests, including those of Mykola Martynenko, a lawmaker wanted for questioning in Switzerland over bribery allegations.

“We need to reset this government. We should crack down on the shadow government … shadow figures who run the government’s oil and gas companies. Recently they did a huge reshuffle in the oil and gas sector and it’s all according to the blueprint of Martynenko, not the energy minister.”

Council Of Europe Blasts Ukraine's Investigations Into Odesa Violence

 

 

The report concludes that substantial progress "has not been made" in investigating the violent events and the deficiency has undermined authorities' ability to bring to justice those responsible.

November 04, 2015

The Council of Europe says the Ukrainian government's investigations into violence that killed 48 people amid separatist tensions in the southern city of Odesa in May 2014 have fallen short of European standards.

Presenting its findings in Kyiv on November 4, the council said the official probes into last year's street clashes and the deadly fire in Odesa's Trade Union Building "failed to comply with the requirements of the European Human Rights Convention."

Its report also concludes that substantial progress "has not been made" in investigating the violent events and the deficiency has undermined authorities' ability to bring to justice those responsible.

The unrest was part of a wave of protests and counterprotests that swept Ukraine following the Euromaidan ousting of former President Viktor Yanukovych in late February in Kyiv.

On May 2, 2014, clashes broke out in Odesa between what were said to be pro-Russian supporters of greater federalism in Ukraine and pro-union rivals.

As the fighting turned deadly and police failed to restore order, the pro-federalism protesters retreated into the Trade Union Building, where they were surrounded by pro-unionists. The two sides exchanged shots and hurled Molotov cocktails through the windows at each other, with each subsequently blaming the other for the fires that broke out in the building.

The Council of Europe's report does not seek to determine the cause of the fires. It simply notes that official forensic examinations suggested the fires started in five places and that "other than the fire in the lobby, the fires could only have been started by those inside the building."

The panel also takes note of a report by a local nongovernmental organization, the 2 May Group, which says the fire spread to the building after a barricade in front of the entrance was set ablaze as a result of the exchange of Molotov cocktails.

However, the International Advisory Panel does fault the subsequent official investigations into the events for failing to fully establish what happened because "certain forensic examinations were not diligently carried out."

It notes that the first forensic report on the fire was prepared in July 2014 without any on-site inspection of the Trade Union Building. Nine months later, the panel says, an interagency complex forensic examination was ordered in April 2015 and, at the end of August 2015, was still under way.

More generally, the panel says it considers the official investigations into the Odesa events "ineffective," in part because of the authorities "failing to show sufficient thoroughness and diligence in initiating and pursuing" the inquiries.

The Council of Europe panel cites as "the most striking example of a lack of diligence" the fact that "the first real efforts to investigate an unexplained delay of over 40 minutes in the arrival of firefighters to the Trade Union Building were not made until December 2014."

The report of the International Advisory Panel also finds that the government's investigation into the street violence and fire, plus a separate inquiry into the conduct of emergency services staff during the fire, "lacked institutional and practical independence."

The panel says that the inquiries carried out by the interior minister and the State Emergency Services should have been carried out by organs entirely independent from the police and fire services, since those agencies were themselves key players in the events.

The report by the International Advisory Panel expresses "concern" about the prosecution and trials of suspects, particularly decisions to terminate the proceedings against two suspects on grounds of lack of evidence.

And it faults authorities for not taking "coordinated measures" to inform victims and next-of-kin about the progress of the investigations.

The International Advisory Group in Ukraine is led by a former chairman of the European Court, Nicolas Bratza, and includes a former judge of the European Court, Volodymyr Butkevych, and Oleg Anpilogov, a former prosecutor of Ukraine.

The panel was originally established by the secretary-general of the Council of Europe in April 2014 to oversee investigations into violence during the Euromaidan protest in Kyiv. The panel's mandate was extended in September 2014 to examine whether the Odesa investigations met all the requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Council of Europe is the continent's leading human rights organization, with 47 member states, including Ukraine. All of the member states have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

November 03, 2015

The arrest of a close associate of one of Ukraine's most powerful oligarchs has pundits and the public wondering whether President Petro Poroshenko is finally cracking down on corruption or merely trying to silence political opponents.

Hennadiy Korban, the head of the anti-Poroshenko UKROP party, was initially arrested at his home on October 31 before being released and re-detained on November 3.

The speaker of Ukraine's parliament has formally asked the country's prosecutor-general and the head of the national security service to explain to lawmakers why Korban was arrested. 

Who Is Hennadiy Korban?

Korban hails from the eastern industrial city of Dnipropetrovsk, where in the 1990s he became a business partner of Ihor Kolomoyskiy, a banking, energy, and media tycoon. Korban said his interest was "redistributing the wealth of some to others." 

Forbes estimates Korban's worth at $55 million. 

When Kolomoyskiy was appointed governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region in 2014, Korban was named a deputy governor. He lost the post when Kolomoyskiy resigned under a cloud of suspicion in March. 

In June, Korban became the leader of the radical opposition Association of Ukrainian Patriots (UKROP), and he has reiterated that the party stands in opposition to Poroshenko and the government. 

In an interview with RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service published last month, Korban suggested he was being hounded by Ukrainian authorities. 

What Happened On October 31?

Korban was arrested during dramatic raids targeting UKROP offices across the country, involving some 500 security officers. At one point Korban yelled at the Ukrainian Security Service troops on his doorstep to take him into custody, "I defended you on the front lines!" 

Searches were also carried out at the offices in Dnipropetrovsk of the nonprofit organization Fund For The Defense Of The Country, where Korban served on the supervisory board.

Members of the NGO said computers and stacks of documents were seized during the raid. "Papers were taken without any kind of documentation. They simply grabbed files and that was it," the group's deputy director, Oleksiy Anhurets, said, according to RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service. 

Security troops also searched the Dnipropetrovsk offices of Boris Filatov, a businessman and UKROP member of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament. Filatov wrote on his Facebook page that police had "burst into his home." 

Why The Arrest?

Ukrainian authorities say that Korban, 45, was detained on suspicion of involvement in organized crime, embezzlement, and kidnapping.

Specifically, he was accused of stealing $1.7 million from the National Defense Fund, whose funds are earmarked for Ukrainian soldiers fighting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials have denied that politics is involved. "There is no politics in the detention of Korban. It's not related to the elections, and the Prosecutor-General's Office will prove it," prosecutor Vladyslav Kutsenko said. 

 

WATCH: Ukrainian protesters demanded the release of Hennadiy Korban at a rally on November 3, claiming that his detention is politically motivated.

 

http://www.rferl.org...op/27342949.htm

 

 

But Isn't It Really Just Political?

Poroshenko has denied that the arrest is politically motivated, telling three Ukrainian TV stations on November 1 that Korban's arrest was just "the start" of the fight against corruption in Ukraine.

"The fight against corruption and to restore order will continue," he said, vowing that "no one will enjoy immunity,... neither representatives of the new dispensation nor representatives of the old regime."

But Kolomoyskiy, reportedly a financial backer of UKROP, has alleged that Korban's arrest is linked to UKROP's "big success" in local elections in most of Ukraine on October 25. (Korban ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Kyiv in those polls but fell short of enough votes to reach the second round.) 

A co-founder of banking chain Privatbank, Kolomoyskiy was once a key ally of the central government's, reportedly arming and financing militia groups to hold off pro-Russian separatists in the east. Poroshenko signed off on his dismissal as Dnipropetrovsk governor in March after accusing Kolomoyskiy of setting up a private militia and trying to take over a state-affiliated oil company.

Now What?

Stepan Bozhylo of the Prosecutor-General's Office said Korban was detained again on November 3 based on new information related to his possible involvement in a series of crimes that was obtained on November 2.

He did not elaborate.

Some 500 Korban supporters rallied in front of the parliament building and pretrial detention center in Kyiv on November 3, demanding his immediate release.

Filatov said that with the arrest of Korban, Ukraine was being split politically. "In our country there will soon been only two political parties: the party of collaborators and the party of resistance," Filatov wrote on his Facebook page on October 31. 

Analysts speculate that the Korban arrest is part and parcel to the feud between Poroshenko and Kolomoyskiy. Serhiy Rudenko is one of several observers to note that Kolomoyskiy has the "financial, organizational, and media" interests to take on Poroshenko.

Olena Lukash

​Ukraine’s Ex-Justice Minister Detained In Probe Of Maidan Killings

By RFE/RL

Ukraine's Security Service says former Justice Minister Olena Lukash has been detained in connection with an investigation into deadly shootings during opposition protests in 2014 that brought down the pro-Russian government of then-President Viktor Yanukovych.

Lukash was detained in Kyiv upon returning from Russia.

More than a hundred people were killed on and around Kyiv’s central Independence Square -- known as the Maidan -- by sniper fire from February 18-20, 2014.

An ongoing Ukrainian investigation has not yet identified who was behind the attacks.

The Ukrainian Security Service said on November 5 that Lukash, the country's justice minister at the time, has been taken into custody and that a court will soon determine whether charges will be filed against her.

Prosecutor Vladislav Kutsenko told reporters in Kyiv on November 5 that procedures to officially charge Lukash are under way.

Lukash said in a video that was shown at a news briefing by Ukraine’s Security Service that she was going to the Prosecutor-General’s Office “together with counterintelligence officers to provide testimony.” 

She said she was not under pressure and that her visit to the prosecutor’s office was “a routine conversation with counterintelligence officers” to “provide testimony voluntarily.”

On February 28, Ukraine's prosecutor-general requested that the Interior Ministry and Ukrainian Security Services arrest Lukash on suspicion of involvement in masterminding the shooting of antigovernment protesters.  

The EU and Canada included Lukash in March last year on a list of Ukrainian and Russian officials subjected to financial sanctions.

In May, the Prosecutor-General's Office charged Lukash in absentia with public funds mismanagement, forgery, and abuse of office. 

The deaths in and around the Maidan came at the end of monthslong opposition protests that prompted Yanukovych to flee Ukraine in late February.

Lukash served as Ukraine's justice minister in 2013 and early 2014. 

She was dismissed on February 27, 2014, days after Yanukovych was toppled from power and fled to Russia.

Ukraine snubs free travel to Europe over anti-gay law

Kiev, Nov 5, 2015 (AFP) -- Ukraine's parliament Thursday scuppered the ex-Soviet country's chances of visa-free travel to most EU nations by blocking legislation that would have banned discrimination against gays in the workplace.

The pro-EU leadership that replaced the Moscow-backed president last year has made it a priority to join the Schengen zone -- a club of EU countries that allows visa and passport-free travel to more than 400 million people.

But the European Union said in 2010 that Ukrainians being allowed free travel depended in part on Kiev adding a clause to its Soviet-era labour code that would ban all forms of discrimination against gays at work.

Homosexuality was a criminal offence that landed people in jail or mental institutions in the Soviet Union and even withstood the superpower's 1991 collapse.

Ukraine decriminalised it in 1992 -- a year ahead of neighbouring Russia.

But anti-gay prejudice remains high in large swathes of this overwhelmingly religious and conservative east European state.

A gay pride parade held on the outskirts of Kiev in June lasted just minutes before a far right group attacked it without any apparent intervention from the police.

President Petro Poroshenko said in a nationally televised address late Wednesday that his crisis-torn nation -- it's economy battered and the pro-Russian separatist east out of Kiev's control -- faced "an extremely important day".

A "yes" vote would allow "Ukrainian citizens to visit EU countries without visas as early as next year," the 50-year-old leader promised.

But the chamber -- controlled by a loose pro-government coalition that has often seen members break away to join nationalist or populist groups -- gave the change a resounding "no" in the first of two required readings.

Only 117 lawmakers in the 450-seat parliament supported the changes demanded by Brussels.

Such a minority reflects not only public opinion but also the slim chance the legislation has of collecting the required 226 votes in a second vote whose precise date has yet to be set.

Poroshenko's government was dealt another blow when a member of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk's own party denounced the bill in a passionate back-bench address.

"As a country with a thousand-year-old Christian history, we simply cannot allow this," lawmaker Pavlo Unguryan said.

"Today, a special status for sexual minorities is simply unacceptable."

His remarks mirror Russia's ban of "gay propaganda" aimed at minors that prompted travel boycotts by prominent Western artists and condemnation by human rights groups.

- 'Serious blow' -

The European Commission is tentatively due to decide next month whether Ukraine has fulfilled its commitments and qualified for the free travel west it wants.

Some analysts believe that the European Union's executive body -- grappling with its own migrant crisis -- will use Ukraine's refusal to adopt the legislation as an excuse to keep an additional inflow of people from coming in.

Poroshenko's European ambitions were dealt another blow when many members of his bloc simply abstained from the vote.

"This is a serious blow to our chances of getting visa-free travel to Europe," Poroshenko ally Iryna Gerashchenko told lawmakers after the vote.

Gerashchenko heads parliament's European integration commission and brings up the issue at most meetings she has with her Brussels counterparts.

Ukrainian activists called on lawmakers to make appropriate bill changes that would finally open the border to vacationers and business people alike.

"Our failure to adopt the anti-discriminatory amendments reflects our inability to overcome the mistaken stereotypes of our Soviet past," Amnesty InternationalUkraine chief Tetyana Mazur told AFP.

Arrivati dunque alla fine del 2015, di Ucraina non si sente più nulla. Dell'Ucraina si sono dimenticati. E che cosa resta al paese dopotutto? Ci vorrebbe una bella intervista a quel farabutto di Poroshenko. Ci vorrebbe una presa di coscienza da parte degli ucraini, ora che per due anni hanno fatto di tutto e di peggio per mettere i bastoni tra le ruote alla Russia, danneggiando se stessi, e la completa fiducia per l'UE che li ha lasciati fare e adesso ha ben altre priorità lasciando la questione ucraina in disparte. Da definirsi. Per me Ucraina è tornata 10 anni indietro, ha solo perso

Kiev, 16 nov. (askanews) - A Kiev confermato l'ex campione di pugilato Vitaly Klitschko, confermato anche 'indebolimento del fronte presidenziale che fa capo a Petro Poroshenko: i ballottaggi per le amministrative nei nei maggiori centri dell'Ucraina, una trentina di città superiori ai 90mila abitanti, hanno completato ieri il voto dopo il primo turno del 25 ottobre. I risultati, pur non ancora definitivi, consolidano il quadro emerso tre settimane fa, con il partito del presidente Petro Poroshenko che rimane il primo a livello nazionale, ma molto meno saldo, come tutte le formazioni governative di fronte al ritorno dell'opposizione, soprattutto nell'Est e nel Sud del Paese, e dei nuovi partiti sostenuti dagli oligarchi. Forte invece la dissaffezione degli elettori: nella capitale solo uno su quattro si è recato alle urne.La difficile situazione ucraina, tra l'instabilità politica permanente, le faide tra i poteri forti, la complicata fase economica con il rischio del default non ancora scomparso e la guerra nel Donbass pronta a riesplodere, hanno inoltre tenuto lontani gli ucraini dalle urne, segno di una rassegnazione diffusa dopo la rivoluzione dello scorso anno che non ha condotto ai cambiamenti sperati. Dopo che al primo turno l'affluenza era stata inferiore al 50%, ai ballottaggi si è recato solo un ucraino su tre, circa il 34%, secondo i dati ufficiali della commissione elettorale. Nemmeno a Kiev gli elettori si sono appassionati al duello dal risultato scontato tra il sindaco in carica Vitaly Klitschko, fedele alleato del capo dello stato, e lo sfidante Borislav Bereza, ex portavoce del movimento ultranazionalista Pravy Sektor (Settore di destra) ora vicino a Ukrop, nuovo partito dell'oligarca Igor Kolomoisky.
Nella capitale KIEV solo il 25% degli aventi diritto è andato a votare e lo ha fatto per l'ancora popolare campione del mondo dei pesi massimi che ha vinto con oltre il 60%. Kiev è di fatto l'unica metropoli rimasta nelle mani di Poroshenko, che tra il primo e il secondo turno ha visto i grandi centri ucraini, soprattutto negli oblast orientali e meridionali, finire nelle mani dei rivali.
Se a KHARKIV era già stato eletto Gennady Kernes (Rinascita, altra creatura di Kolomoisky) e a ODESSA il vecchio sindaco Gennady Trukhanov ha sconfitto il candidato presidenziale Sasha Borovik, a DNIPROPETROVSK domenica è stato eletto Boris Filatov con il 53%, (Ukrop, braccio destro del solito Kolomoisky) che ha battuto Olexandr Vilkul del Blocco d'Opposizione, sponsorizzato dal magnate Rinat Akhmetov. A ZHAPOROZHE l'uomo di Poroshenko Nikolai Frolov è stato sconfitto dall'indipendente Vladimir Buriak. Stesso quadro anche nelle REGIONI OCCIDENTALI e a LEOPOLI è stato riconfermato Andrei Sadovy, leader di Samopomosh (Autoaiuto), partito di governo che ha già minacciato più volte di andare all'opposizione. A IVANO FRANKIVSK, altro centro dei Carpazi, il candidato di Poroshenko Igor Nasalik ha dovuto cedere il passo a Ruslan Marzinkiv del partito nazionalista Svoboda. Tra le maggiori città dell'Ovest solo a LUZK vicino al confine polacco si è imposto il candidato presidenziale Nikolai Romaniuk.
Complessivamente il partito di Poroshenko rimane comunque il primo per numero di seggi conquistati a livello locale tra città e regioni in quasi tutto il Paese e solo all'Est è scavalcato dal Blocco d'Opposizione, la formazione scaturita dalle ceneri del Partito delle regioni del vecchio presidente Victor Yanukovich. La parte del leone tra i nuovi arrivati l'hanno fatta Ukrop e Rinascita, approfittando anche delle difficoltà dei partiti di governo. Tra questi limitano sostanzialmente i danni Autoaiuto, Patria di Yulia Tymoshenko e il Partito radicale di Oleg Lyashko, mentre il grande sconfitto è il premier Arseni Yatseiuk, il cui partito non ha nemmeno partecipato al voto, dopo che i sondaggi degli ultimi mesi avevano decretato il calo verticale del consenso dal 22% all'1%.
La poltrona del premier è in bilico da mesi, anche a causa della differenza di vedute con il presidente, ma Poroshenko ha confermato la scorsa settimana che Yatseniuk rimane al suo posto. È stato però annunciato un consistente rimpasto e la maggioranza continua ad essere instabile dopo che ne è uscito il Partito radicale e Autoaiuto ha iniziato a pensare di andare all'opposizione.
Entro la fine dell'anno il parlamento ucraino deve approvare in maniera definitiva le modifiche costituzionali e la legge per l'autonomia del Donbass prevista dagli accordi di Minsk, ma al momento manca la maggioranza dei due terzi necessari per l'approvazione.
