In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Russia Pulls Its Troops From Ukraine Border, Putin Says [View all]jakeXT
(10,575 posts)62. The founder of the Social National Party of Ukraine tells me the attack came from Russia
Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Andriy Parubiy has said that gunmen attacked a border unit on the border of Luhansk and Donetsk regions early on Thursday.
"Tonight an attack was carried out on a border unit on the border of Donetsk and Luhansk regions from the Russian Federation," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday.
He noted that law enforcement officers had rebuffed the attack, but the situation itself shows that statements by the Russian president on the withdrawal of troops from the border "have nothing to do with reality."

The man facing down Putin's aggression as secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council is Andriy Parubiy. He oversees national security for the nation having previously served as security commandant during the anti-government protests in Kiev.
Parubiy was the founder of the Social National Party of Ukraine, a fascist party styled on Hitler's Nazis, with membership restricted to ethnic Ukrainians.
The Social National Party would go on to become Svoboda, the far-right nationalist party whose leader Oleh Tyahnybok was one of the three most high profile leaders of the Euromaidan protests - negotiating directly with the Yanukovych regime.
