NATO should gain one
more member. We have lost 6,000 lives because Western partners were somewhat
blind and deaf to Russia - Yatseniuk
(Censor.NET) --- Ukraine should become a member of
NATO after implementation of reforms and after holding a referendum.
The Prime Minister
of Ukraine Arsenii Yatseniuk stated, Censor.NET informs citing

didn't have it in mind a couple of years ago - my current political stance is
that we are considering it now. The Ukrainian people should decide on Ukraine 's membership in the Alliance by referendum after the
implementation of reforms. And the Alliance
should be replenished with another member, which will protect freedom and
democracy against aggression together with the free world," Yatseniuk

security."

Defense Ministry
offered 128th brigade decommissioned equipment which is beyond repair in place
of that destroyed at Debaltseve, volunteer says.
(Censor.NET) --- The Ministry of Defense
proposed the 128th mountain infantry brigade to accept written off equipment to
replace the units lost in fighting at the Debaltseve bridgehead. At that, the
Ministry suggests that the equipment, which is beyond repair, is to be restored
by the brigade’s servicemen.
This was stated by
head of the Uzhhorod State Administration board of volunteers, founder of
"Revival of Ukraine - Ukraine Renaissance!" civil organization, head
of the district committee on assisting mothers, wives and participants of the
ATO Vlasta Nehria on her Facebook page, Censor.NET reports.
"Everyone knows
that the 128th separate mountain infantry brigade came out of Debaltseve. It
suffered losses in men and equipment. Right now it is restoring combat
capability. It would seem that they should get and train new soldiers. Get
equipment and get back to fighting. But the Ministry of Defense in the person
of Kiev Central Vehicle Department Chief (General Major SERHII A.P.) decided to
make some money on the brigade. This is the equipment they offer in return for
the destroyed units (see images below - ed.).
"At that, they demand the 128-th brigade
to restore it themselves (a number of equipment is beyond repair and some can
be restored only at repair plants). This equipment is time-expired and shall be
written off, rather than restored. Relevant documents for category five
(write-offs) have been filed with the Defense Auxiliary Association of Ukraine
and signed by the Central Motor-and-Tractor Department (CMTD). But the CMTD
issued orders for category four," the volunteer stated and published
photos of the equipment to be provided for the 128th brigade.

to a Crimean - after his death! TCH TV reported March 25.

killed near Ilovajsk. Unscrupulous thugs faked the documents and seized his
farm located in Kaharlyk, Kiev
oblast.
Julia Basheva, a
state registrar, registered the illegal deal, saying she has no authority to
check the validity of the documents submitted to her.
The Justice
ministry, however, says the registrar violated the law, promising
investigation.
Meanwhile, forensic
experts ruled that the signature of Mark Paslavsky had been falsified.
The farm, costing
UAH100 mn is now owned by a Crimean resident.
Paslavsky’s friends
are trying to recover his farm, pointing the finger at influential Kiev officials who, they
claim, are implicated in the swindle.
The legal
proceedings may take years, they say. Meanwhile, the new owner is taking away
the grain and transferring the revenues to
