"I am Volnovakha," I am Ukraine "

In memory of the victims near Volnovakha in Ukraine, an action was held against terrorism - a march of unity

In Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine, an action against terrorism - a march of unity, took place in memory of the victims near Volnovakha.

After the tragedy under the Volnovach initiators of the All -Ukrainian Unity of the Unity of the All -Ukrainian Unity, similar to a week ago in France, users of social networks performed. As as a result of a terrorist attack in Paris, 12 people died near Volnovakha - these are passengers of a regular bus, which was fired from the Grad complex at the Ukrainian checkpoint. It was established that the militants fired from their positions near the city of Dokuchaevsk, Donetsk region. And although pro -Russian terrorists continue to replicate a variety of versions about the fault of the Ukrainian military, the evidence provided to the OSCE, it seems, did not leave them a field for maneuver. The fault of militants in the deaths of civilians, as stated in the Security Service of Ukraine, is not in doubt.

The idea of holding a campaign against terrorism in eastern Ukraine literally blew up the Internet. In the last days, users of social networks, following the example of the French in recent days, actively distributed the slogan “I - Volnovakha” - #JE Suis Volnovakha. The initiative to hold the Sunday march of unity was supported by many Ukrainian politicians. The procession in Kyiv took place from the Shevchenko monument to Independence Square, where President Petro Poroshenko spoke of about 20 thousand people. “Everyone was grateful to every Ukrainian who was not indifferent today,” Poroshenko said. “The invader will be thrown out of the Ukrainian territory.” After the president’s speech, a prayer for the deceased, which was held by the patriarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, took place Kyiv Patriarchate Filaret and Primate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Svyatoslav.

In Ukraine, in addition to the capital, marches are organized today in Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Rivne, Lviv, Odessa, Kharkov, Krivoy Rog.

Activists joined the march of the world in other countries-in the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, the Czech Republic (except for Prague, the action will be held in the city of Brno), Ireland, Russia, Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt), the USA (Washington, San Francisco, San Diego), Austria, Italy, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari, Bari Naples), Portugal, Poland.

As noted by the head of the Penta Political Research Center Vladimir Fesenko, in the conduct of the Kiev march there is an element of imitation of the Parisian:

The terrorism that we have now is not the actions of individual groups of rapists, this is a focused state policy of Russia

“Once in Europe they reacted to a terrorist attack in Paris, many Ukrainians also wanted to. After all, this initiative did not arise among politicians, but on social networks, politicians only supported it. That is, if such a large -scale action in the capital of France, and in Europe, they reacted to the terrorist attack, then we will also react. That is, this is the desire to hold a similar action with a similar action. We are actually so often in the country.

According to one of the initiators of the capital's action Svyatoslav Stetsenko , the leader of the public association “Ukrainian Legion”, the march in Kiev differs from Paris, since Ukraine is threatened not by individual terrorist organizations, but by a neighboring state: a neighboring state:

“This is not a political action, and not even a action of public organizations, this is a march of our citizens, a march against terrorism. The terrorism that we have now is not the actions of individual groups of rapists, it is a focused state policy of Russia. And its terrorism is used as a tool for destruction of our country. It is pointless to disappear that we all, Ukrainians, feel the need for civil unity. I feel the need for civil unity. And many of my friends are now engaged in the defense of our state, who - as a volunteer, who - as a volunteer at the front or as an instructor in military training in the rear.

The march in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine is organized against the backdrop of a sharp exacerbation of the conflict in the Donbass. The Verkhovna Rada supported the presidential decree on the next stage of partial mobilization. From January 20, its fourth wave will start, during which it is planned to call for about 50 thousand people for service.

Will this number of reservists be enough for the National Army? This question is answered by military expert Leonid Polyakov :

“Here you need to look based on what tasks of these people are mobilizing. If we are only talking about counteracting those illegal armed groups that were formed in the territory of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions and are provided with Russia, then, probably, if we talk about some larger scenarios, then, of course, this number of reservists will not be enough. We have the case with an unpredictable and aggressive opponent, then. Which does not spare people and destroys the infrastructure to achieve its speculative, in no confirmed, from the point of view of common sense, of some theories. ”

According to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak , in the event of a deterioration in the situation in the east of the country, more than 100 thousand people can be called to the armed forces as a whole by the end of the year. In the meantime, first of all, personnel officers and military experts receive subpoenas from the military registration and enlistment offices. Now the most in demand in the ATO zone are tankers, gunners, infantrymen, signalmen, air defense specialists and scouts.

In addition to military liable men aged 25 to 60 years, women medical ones are subject to mobilization. The General Staff assures that the load on the regions according to the called persons will be distributed evenly. Mobilization will also affect the territories of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions controlled by Ukraine. Students of daily education universities and graduate students will not be called into the army; priests; men raising three or more minor children; Those who have incompetent relatives in care; unsuitable for service for health reasons; Residents of the occupied territories, in particular, Crimea, a number of districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

The Verkhovna Rada deputy, the commander of the Donbass battalion, Semen Semenchenko recommends that he first of all summon the volunteers to the army.

“When people call, not all of them want to fight, very many are ready to protect the bushes, very many are ready to run from the battlefield. At the same time, very many want to go into the army volunteers, but they do not have such an opportunity for various reasons, but these people are motivated, and they will stand for the homeland,” Semen Semenchenko is convinced.

The fact that the country is still quite high potential of the volunteer movement and it must be used, first of all, by the authorities and many public organizations pay attention to.

According to the “Information Resistance” group, the Russian special services begin a large -scale campaign in Ukraine to disrupt the next stage of mobilization. As the head of state, Petro Poroshenko, stated on the eve, the reaction of law enforcement agencies to such shares of the special services of the country's neighbors should be “instant and hard”.
