Ukraine – Political Unrest At Foreign Powers Behest Threatens National Peace And Stability
January 30, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Ukraine internal unrest at external forces viz. EU and United States behest is based on regime change strategy using agents projected as the so-called opposition evidently appointed to serve foreign interests in national detriment.
The economic decision to postpone trade deal with EU last November has led to EU and United States initiated protests disrupting civil services and operation through occupation of government buildings and ministries justifying irrationality as means to voice dissent.
The administration under Ukraine President Victor Yanukovych recent concessions –such as eliminating anti-protests law with majority approval in Parliament, amnesty to detainees arrested during anti-government rally followed by Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resignation to appease opposition has not ended EU and United States sponsored political mess.
Political opponents facilitating EU and US intervention in Ukraine affairs could not possibly represent the nation otherwise they would not prolong agitation against government and reject several opportunities for peaceful resolution.
The opposing leaders have presented no viable solutions thus far except for echoing EU and United States demand – calling President Yanukovych to step down from office ignoring vulnerability in leading the country towards political chaos over commerce ties with EU that is yet to prove legitimacy and capability in resolving myriad economic woes confronting the Union.
Ukraine government prioritizing immediate economic requirements and accordingly implementing suitable measures deserves due consideration and support from all sides pledged to Ukraine progress. Again they could seek any clarifications in government policy through constructive discourse in national assembly.
Nonetheless the citizens in Ukraine exercising discernment is critical and allowing disingenuous groups to mislead the nation with foreign officials from United States and EU addressing the mass in public square directly undermines sovereignty.
The reversal of these events in Washington DC or Berlin would not be entertained by neither political systems.
Certain entities in United States Congress and administration hailing Ukraine Parliament action in repealing anti-protests law and blaming government for current standoff with favorite proposal i.e. economic sanctions is paradoxical to little or no tolerance exhibited by them towards Occupy Wall Street peaceful gathering in Zuccoti park, New York City and across the country.
The authorization for dispersing Occupy Wall Street crowd involved massive police force with water cannons, tasers and many arrests notwithstanding some even enlisted in FBI watch list to monitor activity.
Similarly the non-violent demonstration during NATO summit in Chicago May 2012 received police aggression with several wounded and apprehended for sharing their concerns on NATO crimes against humanity.
Likewise EU economic austerity triggered public grievance in London, Berlin, Spain, Greece and Italy…was condemned and contained with strict enforcement of law to prevent recurrence.
More relevantly, the NSA and international network surveillance act under the pretext of national security predominantly engaged in proactive deterrence of potential domestic and global uprising against status quo.
Considering EU and United States authorities reaction to general discontentment in respective domains,
The Ukrainian leadership steps to restore calm and civility despite opposition leaders obstinacy to maintain obstruction of law and order confirm credibility in providing fair governance.
Furthermore the situation highlights the distinction between genuine and false commitment to national service.
The ongoing stalemate in Ukraine is unnecessary and EU fomenting crisis rather than respecting democratically elected government response to refrain from signing the Association Agreement with EU defines the characteristics and purpose behind EU existence.
The peace loving people in Ukraine society coming forward to national cause prohibiting foreign interference and declining to participate in counterproductive anti-government campaign would exemplify Ukrainian patriotism to protect independent identity and solemn self-determination rights on all matter.
Ukraine opposition and misguided supporters extending gridlock with government exacerbate economic conditions and instead accepting dialogue to sort out differences would be effective in saving the nation from turmoil.
Hence all parties bear responsibility to rescue Ukraine from foreign instigated political disturbance.
Best Wishes to Ukraine citizens and leaderships in overcoming challenges in all frontiers.
Peace to Ukraine!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Ukraine – Public Discernment Critical to Protect Sovereignty And National Interest
December 10, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Ukraine like Thailand experiencing foreign powers staged protests against the incumbent government decisions to decline EU Association Agreement on trade and NATO membership.
The ongoing clashes prove that sovereignty is threatened upon prioritizing national interests over shadow organizations agenda.
Similar scenario is prevalent in Afghanistan regarding the bilateral security agreement (BSA) seeking continuation of status quo involving killing innocent children, women and men during night raids and drone attacks with immunity.
Ukraine signing the treaty with EU would be allowing International Monetary Fund (IMF) to impose demands invariably resulting in economic setbacks rather than recovery evident in IMF loans to developing nations across the globe.
The international financial institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, ECB, Bank of England and the Federal Reserve in the United States trajectory preserves bankers holdings while creating fictitious debts on the respective economies depriving growth with national revenue appropriated mostly towards interest payments and deficit control implementing severe austerity.
EU pressure on Ukraine inciting violence and political chaos using opposition groups and fake demonstrations confirms the desperation to destabilize the independent state for subjugation.
Ukraine being export oriented economy weighing the pros and cons prior to engagement with EU that is yet to address deep economic recession within the bloc arguably necessitates prudence in choosing trade partners capable to meet expectations and returns leading to mutually beneficial commerce.
Accordingly, Ukraine preference for Russia or any other nation in this instance is sovereign right and could not be forced to deal with EU considering the consequences witnessed in the financial crisis inflicted on Mediterranean countries viz. Greece and Cyprus depleting national treasury including citizens deposit savings to accommodate unreasonable bailout conditions favoring entities at ECB, IMF and World Bank.
The arrangement with requirements for unilateral commitment denying fair opportunity is not viable and produce undesirable outcome.
Instead EU focus on existing problems amongst members with effective strategies could promote trust and reliance for meaningful relations in the region.
The weak and volatile euro zone premised on boosting monetary gains for banking industry and undue advantage to developed nations with market accessibility restricting equal access to the rest cause hindrance in pervasive economic development.
On the political issue, EU interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs not limited to the former President Yulia Tymoshenko health status.
Again EU concern in this regard would be genuine in exemplifying synonymous response to Syrian conflict extending and not lifting arms embargo despite the measure exacerbating humanitarian plight.
Likewise EU influence on United States to close Guantanamo Bay and release detainees on indefinite hunger strike and honoring P5+1 and Iran nuclear pact with sanctions removal are few examples that would prove EU sincerity in alleviating human suffering.
Ukraine position not to join NATO is appropriate given the latter track record in foreign invasion and human rights violations notwithstanding the misuse of allies viz. Turkey drawn into Syrian war and Patriot missiles installation along with troops deployment under false pretext in that state essentially constitutes surrender of power.
President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov exercising diligence on these issues is responsible and pragmatic for these steps could avert potential economic disaster currently shared among EU member states i.e. Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS).
Additionally, NATO alliance disapproval would prevent the possibility to undermine statehood.
Public discernment is critical in rejecting external authorities plan to stir tensions in the country and standing behind the present government leaderships would guarantee freedom.
The pseudo governance exerting authority on sovereign nations is the trend in an attempt to appoint proxy rule to national detriment.
Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych administration practical course could deliver economic progress and hence en masse support is important to defend the nation from turmoil.
Ukraine political stability and economic benefits would be compromised in proceeding with foreign elements organized unrest. The citizens bear responsibility to rescue the nation from unnecessary standoff at global forces behest.
Ukraine solidarity with current government in confronting challenges would ease the situation and facilitate economic prospects in entirety.
Ukraine citizens are urged to refrain from participation in anti-republic and anti-democratic demonstrations aimed at sabotage of able government.
Wishing Ukraine population and leaderships – President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov as well as all political factions peaceful resolution on national matter to maintain security and liberty barring foreign infiltration.
Peace to Ukraine!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
