LiveLeak.com - Ukraine: The truth about Referendum

Zero turnout or zero tolerance of local people? We want the world to
hear us! Citizens are tired to receive empty promises last 23 years and
were finaly suppressed by new power. Why Ukraine and US media lie about
bloody events in Donetsk and Lugansk? Youtube is hardly censoring news
which do not fit Euromaidan position so please save it and upload a copy
if this will be deleted or blocked.

The official results of the
referendums in Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics were published.
The State independence of the Donetsk republic was supported by 89,7% of
the voters. 10,19% voted to stay in Ukraine. In Lugansk, 96,2% voted
for the state independence of the Lugansk People's Republics. 3,8%
remained loyal to Ukraine.

A LONG LINE SIGNALS HOPE IN A UKRAINE NEIGHBORHOOD
May 25,`14 -- The line for the voting booths, a half-dozen flimsy plywood enclosures draped with blue curtains, stretched down the main hallway of Educational Institution No. 323. It went past the election officers sitting beneath paintings of talking rabbits and blond princesses. It turned the corner into the lobby, with the photographs celebrating school plays and Christmas parties, and then out the door and onto the courtyard steps.

By noon, there were 150 or so people in line. The wait was about an hour. But to the people in this crowded, middle-class neighborhood on the fringes of Kiev, that hour-long wait was a sign of hope. "It's a good sign that the lines are long," said Yelena Dneprovaya, a former civil servant who hasn't worked for a year. "This means people are motivated, that people believe in change." "I can't call this (election) a victory, but there's some good to it," she continued, sweeping a tuft of her reddish-blond hair behind an ear. "The victory will happen when we are confident in our tomorrow."

Ukrainians stand in line for receive their ballots at a polling station during presidential and mayoral elections in Kiev, Ukraine, Sunday, May, 25, 2014. Ukraine's critical presidential election got underway Sunday under the wary scrutiny of a world eager for stability in a country rocked by a deadly uprising in the east.

Few people are confident about tomorrow in Ukraine. Particularly in the east, where support for Russia runs deep, many Ukrainians see the interim government as a junta that took power from a democratically elected president, albeit one who had grown deeply unpopular in much of the country. In some eastern cities, pro-Russian militias destroyed voting materials and frightened away election workers, ensuring there would be no election at all in places. Pessimists worry that Ukraine's many divisions - ethnic, linguistic, cultural - could eventually lead to a Yugoslavia-style civil war.

Even in Kiev, where support was widespread for the winter protests that eventually sent President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing into exile in Russia, talk of hope is always undercut by resignation and cynicism. They've seen too many governments drown in corruption and infighting, too many hero politicians who turned out to be ineffectual. "Look at what is happening now in the east," said Lena Pushakova, her pink flip-flops flapping on the sidewalk as she made her way to the school to vote, past clusters of concrete apartment towers where paint flakes off in fist-sized blisters. "But I still have hope in spite of that that something will change," she said, recalling the protests that she took part in. "I expect the new politicians will remember what happened." "This is just the beginning," she said of the elections. "What do you expect?"

Ukrainians back Poroshenko to find way out of crisis
Sun May 25, 2014 - Petro Poroshenko, a billionaire chocolate manufacturer, claimed the Ukrainian presidency with an emphatic election victory on Sunday, taking on a fraught mission to quell pro-Russian rebels and steer his fragile nation closer to the West.

A veteran survivor of Ukraine's feuding political class who threw his weight and money behind the revolt that brought down his Moscow-backed predecessor three months ago, the burly 48-year-old won 55 percent in exit polls on a first-round ballot marred by the reality that millions were unable to vote in the troubled eastern regions. Results will not be announced until Monday but runner-up Yulia Tymoshenko, on 13 percent, made clear she would concede, sparing the country a tense three weeks until a runoff round.

Ukrainian businessman, politician and presidential candidate Petro Poroshenko (L front) and his wife Maryna (R front), cast their votes during a presidential election at a polling station in Kiev

Poroshenko, known as the "Chocolate King", has no time to lose to make good on pledges to end "war" with separatists in the Russian-speaking east, negotiate a stable new relationship with Moscow and rescue an economy sapped by months of chaos and 23 years of post-Soviet mismanagement and chronic corruption. The size of his victory reflects in part Ukrainians rallying behind the front-runner in the hope of ending a political vacuum that Russian President Vladimir Putin has exploited to annex the Crimea peninsula and offer solidarity, and maybe more, to rebels in the east who want to break with Kiev and accept Russian rule.

"He has taken a heavy burden on his shoulders," said Larisa, a schoolteacher who was among crowds watching the results on Kiev's Independence Square, where pro-Western "EuroMaidan" protests ended in February in bloodshed that prompted President Viktor Yanukovich to flee to Russia. "I just want all of this to be over," she added. "I think that's what everybody wants." In the eastern Donbass coalfield, where militants ensured polling stations were closed to some 10 percent of the national electorate, rebels scoffed at the "fascist junta" and announced a plan to "cleanse" their "people's republic" of "enemy troops". A minister in Kiev said in turn its forces would renew their "anti-terrorist operation" after a truce during the polling. More than 20 people were killed in the region last week.

EAST-WEST CONUNDRUM

God bless Vladimir Putin for beginning the purge of Islam from Russia, Eastern Europe and Indochina.

Now he has China in a blatant petro-partnership and India contemplating its place and its fate — and Pakistan scared to death.

Only someone who's truly stupid with regard to New World Order propaganda and the game of chess would be cheering against Putin and his motives.

Unlike the USA, Putin doesn't shy away from ridding the world of its most nefarious menace, and he doesn't care what the NWO media slanderously says about him while he's doing it.

Unfortunately I now believe that Putin is a puppet like American democrats and republicans, but at least you are thinking in the right direction.

God bless Vladimir Putin for beginning the purge of Islam from Russia,

12% of Russians are muslim and they have been a part of that country for centuries. ..

Yet that 12% is responsible for 99% of the terrorism in most former Soviet states.

And that 12% is expected to be 50% in as little as 30 years.

God bless you, Vladimir Putin.
