IBTimes: Ukraine Right Sector Leader Calls For Petro Poroshenko To Resign
Hundreds of Ukrainians rallied in the capital of Kiev on Tuesday in support of the ultranationalist Right Sector group after a series of tense standoffs with government forces in recent weeks. The radical group played a major role during protests in Kiev last year and helped topple the regime of former president Viktor Yanukovych.
The far-right group was involved in a shootout with police forces near the western city of Mukacheve that killed two of its members. The men were reportedly killed after Right Sector members fired on police officials. However, the group insists that its members were trying to crack down on a police-run smuggling business in the region. After a shootout with guns and grenades, a group of Right Sector members remain camped in the woods near Mukacheve, and have reportedly refused to disarm and surrender.
Human rights groups and local authorities have also accused the Right Sector of illegally carrying weapons, kidnapping and torturing civilians, and violently pursuing their goals.
WNU Editor: This group may not have much public support, but they do have a lot of political support from within the Ukraine government. Unfortunately .... they are also one of the main reasons why Ukraine is in the mess that it finds itself in today, and as long as they are permitted to operate on the front-lines in eastern Ukraine and be able to influence government policy, there will never be peace in that country.
