Former Aide to Ukrainian Defense Minister Defects to Militia Side/More than 10,000 Soldiers Desert – Ambitions of Kiev Administration and Neoconservatives Shattered –

Reading this article, I couldn’t resist shouting out with surprise. Mr. Alexander Kolomiyets, former aide to Ukrainian defense minister and chief military analyst, defected to the Donetsk side together with his family and voluminous amounts of information.  Since Mr. Kolomiyets served as the regional military commissar of Donetsk region for 19 years, it can be said that the Ukrainian armed forces have lost the boss. This will make it impossible for them to make war.
I have thought war in Ukraine is inevitable. However, I think this incident has shattered the ambitions of the Kiev administration and Neoconservatives.
It was expected that punishment of SaLuSa’s comrades would help stop confusions on the earth. So I have thought that we will see things move in unexpected direction. However, this incident has given me a surprise far beyond my expectation.
The article says “panic has started in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.” The situation is the same with Neoconservatives. I think that Nuland and MacCain, of course, and George Soros have got in a panic.

The former aide not only defected to the Donetsk side but brought voluminous amounts of information there.

The former aide announced at a press conference with Donetsk News Agency “I, major general of the armed forces of Ukraine, Alexander Kolomiyets, my latest position was aide to the Defense Minister, chief military analyst” and he disclosed that he had served as the regional military commissar of Donetsk region. TASS reported it.

Former aide to the defense minister Kolomiyets reported that many Ukrainian soldiers have started to run away from Kiev into Donbass. The former aide pointed out that many of his colleagues do not oppose his joining the militia side.

Additionally, with regard to the condition of the Ukrainian army, the former aide expressed his opinion that the potential of the Ukrainian army is at very low level.” “From the moral point of view, all generals and officers who understand that the government’s actions are criminal don’t want to fight,” he said.

The former aide pointed out that there are many others of the Ukrainian Security Organization who joined the militia side. As an example, he reported that the former chief of the Lugansk Customs, Oleg Chernousov and two officers of Ukraine’s foreign intelligence, and staff members of the Ukrainian embassy in Paris: the Miroshnichenko brothers, who declared their disagreement with Kiev’s policies, returned to Lugansk.
