 * ''A "mini-Holocaust" they called it in Kolomoysky clan. Leaked emails explain why Israel cancelled Ukraine arms deal. http://pic.twitter.com/EUvIImWhEk
 * ''The leak is obviously from "enemy camp" - in election campaign we will see many juicy things coming up. It will not make news because stuff like this is a subject of negotiations. The report that "Israel stopped the deal bcs Russia was unhappy" means Russian side probably said "You ship arms - we air grieving relatives of those 19 killed, you have a major PR problem at home" and both sides come to mutual understanding,  agree, shake hands and part. Human lives are but pawns in this game.

Contradictory news from Odessa
Contradictory reports from Odessa, 7.10.2014

Mikhail Maiman is reported to claim more that 20 beatings of Jews by the Right Sector, in Suvorov district of Odessa, in the 1 month period.

Another source claims this to be a "blatant lie". Right sector is reported to deny
 * Right Sector is reported to comment "If you are ready to fight with internal and external enemies of Ukraine, ethnicity, religion, etc do not matter"  (this is  plausible, as those guys would have trouble to figure out who is who, they may just happen to me mostly jewish). Even if Right Sector is an 'equal opportunity  harasser',  this still would be a problem. It appears that police is passive, and order is maintained by Right Sector

'Press secretary of Jewish Society of Ukraine Berl Kapulkin' is reported to say that 'Mikhail Maiman is not a member, (and actually, may not even exist)'

Mikhail Maiman is reported to say that an appeal to World Jewish Congress in New York will be made 'next week' demanding that Right Sector is disarmed. --Resup (talk) 03:46, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

 * That leak must be a couple of days/weeks old, I've read the mails before. Can't remember where. This guy Kolomoiski is really like some super-villain from the comic books. Just yesterday I've read that there is a campaign among influential Jews to kick him out of their organizations, so maybe there is something to the "upset in Israel" talked about in the mails. Funny: The European Jewish Parliament is an organization founded by Kolomoiski himself. --CE (talk) 13:39, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

They could look at what the others are doing too, while they're there. At least 4 of former Odessa (Jewish) mayor's close staff were actively involved in the Odessa fire.

Kolomoiskii reads russvesna.su to get his news about 2 days before the best Ukrainian news about the conflict in Donbas. Recently he gave some 2 hour interview, apparently a short segment of it is linked. He has self-contradictory message that (1) because of the war, news should be censored (this is what he appears to say in the beginning of the clip), but (2) how Ukranian media can be trusted if it reports with at least 2 day delay what is available on russvesna.

Yesterday, there was Ukr report that UAF at Donetsk airport repelled all terrorist attacks. (The truth is likely that there are still UAF underground, and Novorossia cannot move equipment to the airport, because they will be shelled from Peski. So it is still somewhat contested, but not like it is controlled by UAF who repels all terrorists. And what's ultimately the point of Ukrainian media ill-coverage? Delay the obvious? --Resup (talk) 12:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Kolomoiskii interview, 27.09.2014 no-nonsense (e.g. around 47.59 explains why for somebody in high government decentralization would appear unattractive, for money/greed reasons). Chooses presentation to appear to care about people in Novorossia. Too long to watch or translate in full, maybe interesting bits are picked by some commentators elsewhere. --Resup (talk) 13:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

I think that for ukr.op. media to have any credibility, the media-et-all magnate Mr. Kolomoyskii shall provide his commentary to the video shot in his own backyard, explaining numbers 6350-6554 on the graves in particular, as well as why there are many open pits, etc. And I hope the video will not disappear, also. --Resup (talk) 14:14, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * But it dissappeared. (WTF?) --Resup (talk) 07:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Russian sources, including Cassad, give links without explaining or commenting, like with shrug of shoulders, to this video, Philip Ekoziants (Филипп Экозьянц-VK) (He appears to be well-known in Kharkov singer (romance songs), and recently announced Kharkov partisans responsibility for blowing up train wagons carrying fuel at Sheblinka station. That was done in a very dramatic, stylistically similar video adressed to Anton Gerashenko with details published on social networks one hour before the train exploded. That was said to kill none and save lives of Ukrainian soldiers delayed on their way to ATO.   Do not know him otherwise; apparently treated with respect, but do not know any more background). In the video, Philip, in a drmatic voice, gives us an urgent message that recent rumors of Benya K. giving up and leaving are untrue, and what is true is that he is busy preparing private army of Western mercenaries, advisers, and weapons. And so soon they brush aside current spectacle, take over, and Ukraine will be finished and all of fellow Ukrainians will no longer be needed and  will hang or something. This is probably seriously exaggerated, because successfully doing something like that requires Iraq-scale investment. Hiring Academi may protect a factory but not win heavy-weapons war. On the other hand some anti-Poroshenko line is fairly obvious, so something may go on in the background. Putting it here as do not see translations or discussions of that video. --Resup (talk) 15:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * And Anton Gerashenko is that same MOI adviser who broke the news about MH17 shot by separatists and immediately picked up by Ukraine and the West...--Resup (talk) 16:10, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Looked more into this and got even more skeptical. There is some long-going religious-type dispute/controversy, with (A) Philip Ekoziants (  orthodox christian ) + Eduard Hodos (Эдуард Ходос), who is  reform Judaism, ex- Lubavitch-Chabad, and currently pro-orthodox christian on one side, and (B) Benya K and friends like Yarosh --viewed as Lubavitch-Chabad for whatever reason by (A). All of that is seriously out of bounds, and I see no reason to run with any of that stuff. I see this type of thing on Saker in off-putting quantities already, but here this sort of thing is taken to the very extreme. --Resup (talk) 06:58, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Avakov–McNeely prank call
Should this be filed under leaks?
 * US General promises help to Ukraine in a prank call – RT, October 10, 2014
 * ''A high-ranking US general has promised Ukraine to help equip its National Guard in a call made by a Russian prankster who pretended to be Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
 * ''Prankster Vladimir Krasnov and unsuspecting US Brig. Gen. Kevin McNeely discussed the problems concerning the Ukraine crisis and the possibility of military and financial aid to Ukraine, LifeNews reports. Krasnov asked about Ukrainian aid requests. According to General McNeely the Pentagon may equip “four companies and one battalion headquarters” of National Guard.

-- Petri Krohn (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Pranks aside, it was officially reported in Russian press that USA does not plan to send lethal arms to Ukraine, but may eventually have do it if crisis gets out of hand. It is not up to Pentagon to ship arms somewhere, of course, at least since the President is the Commander-in-Chief, and overall there is civilian oversight of the military. All of that should be in official legal documents somewhere, and linked to Constitution. So what prankster adds is a laugh (which indeed is in short supply). --Resup (talk) 21:23, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

I say it includes a sort of leak. As an insider, McNeely thinks that might fly. It might help having that aired to underscore the reminder that, officially, Washington will not be doing that. They were considering it, but hopefully less so now. --Caustic Logic (talk) 22:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

BND accuses "separatists" shooting MH17 with Buk captured from UAF. Zero evidence is actually presented. Novorossia captured some Buk (according to reports), but that one was not operational (according to same reports, I did not keep links). Also Novorossia does not have officers who are trained in shooting Buk, this is not a shoulder-fired fire-and-forget equipment. What's BND up to ? Saving Merkel face? They do talk about satellite photos, that may be something new. So, where are those photos? --Resup (talk) 18:36, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

 * ''Price "blitzkrieg" high: only two weeks of fighting APU lost 1,100 dead soldiers on the battlefield there are more than 100 destroyed tanks, captured by the defenders of the Donbass were dozens of Ukrainian soldiers and officers. Today, these terrible figures are one of the best kept secrets of the Kiev junta. Guide NSDC, Ministry of Defence, and the president himself Poroshenko spare no effort trying to convince public opinion in Ukraine that "no casualties", "the enemy is broken", "thousands of terrorists destroyed."

Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar?
The US supposedly gave Ukraine three Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radars. The serial numbers of the radars were revealed on a document that supposedly was leaked by CyberBerkut. Or was it? Now one of the radars was captured in Debaltsevo. The serial number on the crate matches one of the serial numbers on the document.
 * NAF thanks the United States for the new LCMR (Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar) - BMPD - Live Journal, Translated by Kristina Rus, February 20, 2015

Was the LCMR document part of the leaked batch or was it made public by the US? If it was originally leaked, then the serial number confirms the authenticity of the leaked and by extension the whole batch. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:22, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, CB published a document with three LCMR serial numbers on 25.11.2014 . On 19.02.2015 LifeNews video at 4:43 we see on a side of a big box a serial number 369 (what we see is SN 369); that would be the last of those three numbers previously published. Actually, an authorization to give Ukraine "non-lethal" weapons, materials and training in the total amount of 25 million $ was officially granted and published in the US Federal Register, 24.09.2014. LCMR is considered "non-lethal"; total cost of 3 units said to be about 400 thousand $; so whether or not this is actually a good idea, no US laws seem to be broken here. --Resup (talk) 14:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

The MH17 JIT says that have radar data from some Ukrainian mobile radar. Could this be an American Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 23:54, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Presentation preliminary results criminal investigation MH17 28-09-2016

At the time, this radar was used to test new software. Although it had a limited range, it still detected flight MH17 and this completes the image further."
 * I think the purpose of this is to claim that they have primary radar data; while in reality, uncertain. Why it is a 'video file'? That would not be raw data. Lots of possibilities for mobile radar, any anti-aircraft system, they have plenty; US counter-mortars, a possibility too. Don't know whether it will pick a plane at 10 km height, but could be.

Although it is not possible to verify the authenticity of the alleged copies of the emails, the early and mid-February emails show Gontcharuk in contact with Nikolay Lyaskin, a close associate of Alexey Navalny.

In fact, the emails can be authenticated (at least 31 of them). They are "DomainKeys Identified Mail" and are signed with a cryptographic key. Anything sent from Gmail, Yandex or Mail.ua is authenticated in this way.

Muzhenko's letter states that in 2014-15 the UAF received 20 BTR-3E1 and 25 BTR4E (these are the vehicles delivered to the MOD and not the MVD or the National Guard). Only 18 of them are still in working order today--7 BTR-3s and 11 BTR-4s.

 * ''Complete with stilted greetings and cumbersome dialogue that sounds like both men are reading from a script, the recording opens with a series of conversations between the two alleged spies, identified as David Hamilton and David L. Stern. Throughout the recording, they discuss “preparations” for an operation that involves shooting down a plane with a surface-to-air missile and an eventual Plan B, which involves placing a bomb inside the plane — all for the purpose of staging a crash to discredit Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine and the Kremlin itself.

Intentionally Targeting Civilians
Documents show an order to plan and execute a one time hit on 4 targets in Donetsk, described in the document as "illegal armed formation headquarters". It is said that real objects are schools. Unclear on coordinates used; first target X = 05325220, Y = 07405178 is said to be gymnasium 41 in Donetsk,   48.052654 long, 37.726421 lat -map. Cyberberkut explains that with high probability this refers to a map they discovered, referenced as (М-37-136,137 L-37-4,5), magnification 1:25 000. They believe Ukrainian artillery was using this map (low resolution reproduction given). Documents are dated 27.12.2014. Translation at fortruss--Resup (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Ukraine sells weapons for small Soviet Army to Saudi Arabia
It seems that the first thing the Kiev Junta did was to sell a load of weapons big enough to wage one year of "civil" war in Syria. The end user certificate is signed by Saudi Arabia and dated March 2, 2014. It is clear that the Saudi Land Forces would never use these Soviet weapons. For Saudis it has to be American and have air conditioning.

I did not read the article. It is unclear if these weapons ever got to Syria or even left Ukraine. The amount, 110,000 Kalashnikovs, 150 tanks, etc would have been enough to arm the Novorossiyan Armed Forces. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 19:24, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

 * This article describes it as a corruption/money laundering scheme. The deal is estimated at 500 mln USD, and Ukrainian controlled intermediary Triangle Group Incorporated charged 20% fee. The transfer itself did not happen, according to the article, because "presently sale of equipment of Ukrainian MoD is stopped, due to situation in the country". However the article is written in 2016, with date on the document itself cut off in the article. The date we see now is 03.02.2014.

I have looked at the report the other day and was not convinced enough to post it. This is a journalist report--not a Cyberberku hack---using Ukrainian sources, which were motivated in large part by money, with some talk of disliking SBU (but it may be tuned to customer). It is not that difficult to produce this, one needs to know how such document has to look like, but an insider will know how to produce legit-looking copy (they say it is). There is little new info, name of the person who allegedly made incriminating photos -Vyacheslav (first name; last name not given); this name is provided by source, not in the document. He was a junior officer and served in a mortar detachment in ATO. He made photos with his Apple iPhone 4 (journos 'hope to get' photos but don't have them as yet). He was killed by a sniper outside of ATO area. It is said that before his death he gave photos to certain ensign Andrei Vladimirovich Drozd, military unit A1556 - commanded by Lieutenant Colonel I. Stakhiv (or Stakhov in a Russian spell). It is not known who/where he is and what happened to photos. OK, maybe. But there is nothing contradicting a skeptical view that this was done for money, with demand (both commercial and propagandist) existing for such sort of material. If all we will ever have is this piece of paper, it does not really prove anything as such paper is easily faked. At least they should have tried to find something corroborating in social media--they have not done it, sort of posting to crowd source this work. In reality, whoever side has the knowledge, most likely by now no documents are left. If they found 'Vyacheslav', why to kill him with a sniper rather than arrest and get hold of the photos, that is much easier and to the point. But if photovisuals are destroyed, or no hope to get those, claiming knowledge of their existence makes sense for propaganda. (So, OK, maybe, but maybe not). --Resup (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
