Ukraine Crisis : Maidan snipers trained in Poland - US sought destabilization, says Polish MEP

Janusz Korwin-Mikke, the Polish MEP who stated that the Maidan snipers were trained in his country, has told Sputnik that Polish participation in the events of Maidan is a well-known fact, adding that the US, not Russia, stood to gain from the country's destabilization.”

Korwin-Mikke noted that 'a number of signals' have indicated that 'the [Maidan] terrorists were trained in Poland. The Lithuanians confirm this.' The politician acknowledged that 'it's possible that these people were trained in various centers. Perhaps someday it will be revealed where exactly the training took place.' Speaking to Polish media last week, the right-libertarian politician and presidential candidate stated that the operation to destabilize Ukraine to overthrow the unpopular but democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovych was in part a Polish operation, with the mysterious snipers who killed dozens of protesters, along with police officers, were at least partially trained in Poland.”

In Tuesday's commentary for Sputnik, Korwin-Mikke noted that his assertions come down to the logic behind the events. 'After all, it's clear that the United States, not Russia, were the ones interested in seeing Ukraine destabilized. If someone is to say that Mr. Yanukovych was more friendly toward Russia than Poroshenko, isn't it clear that Russia was not interested in destabilizing Ukraine?'”


'Ukraine could exist without Crimea, and would, had not the U.S. invested $5 billion to destabilize it,' says Mr. Korwin-Mikke, adding that Ukraine’s loss of Crimea, followed by the loss of Donetsk and Luhansk, is a result of U.S. actions. Mr. Korwin-Mikke appealed to Ukrainians in order to make them realize the true intentions of the USA, which pretends to be allied with Ukraine, but, in fact, uses it against its own conflict with Russia.”

It is not only American money that was invested. Mr. Korwin-Mikke claims that snipers, who shot protesters during the Euromaidan demonstrations, weren’t sent by Putin or Yanukovych, but came from Western Europe, as allegedly confirmed by Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet. 'We’ve got an official history taught at school, and a confidential one, by word of mouth. We can debate who really stood behind Boris Nemtsov’s death. Whose interests did it represent? Could it have been executed by Americans to destabilize the situation in Russia? Or could it have been someone else’s doing? We might never find out,' says Mr. Korwin-Mikke.”
