The 60 Minutes program is going live. The highlights of the day.
In Odessa, nationalists painted over another commemorative plaque to Marshal of Victory Zhukov. The young heroes cowardly hid their faces under balaclavas.
The Ukrainian court no longer considers S14 to be a Nazi organization. And this is despite photo and video materials confirming their atrocities. Moreover, they will be paid monetary compensation.
Against this background, a central match of the Ukrainian soccer league between Shakhtar, formerly Donetsk Shakhtar, and Dynamo Kyiv, was held in Kharkov. It ended in a racist scandal. During the entire match, the Kiev guest section was imitating a monkey's screech, wanting to offend the black players of Shakhtar. And they succeeded. At some point, a Brazilian player couldn't take it any longer. In desperation, he went to the Kiev section but he met only racist slurs. He threw the ball there and flipped them off. He then burst into tears because of this caveman-like racism.
"Racism is unacceptable at the stadium!"
The UEFA condemned the nationalist's actions. They also dropped a hint that the Ukrainian soccer association should hold an investigation. They agreed that it's necessary but we know how such investigations in Ukraine end. They end quite sadly. Last week, Dynamo fans, many of whom fought in Donbass, that is, they are war veterans and they do whatever they want, called from the stands to kill Serbs. During the performance of the Serbian national anthem at the national match in Lvov, almost 30,000 Ukrainian fans chanted "Russian kurwa" and kept doing the Nazi salute under Bandera slogans.
All of this remained unnoticed, while in civilized countries it's punished by criminal prosecution and a lifetime ban from stadiums. The same approach is used towards different nationalist scandals. We will show you a very remarkable for Ukraine story which is very symptomatic. On Lvov television, where all the Ukrainian peacekeepers are, our acquaintance, a Ukrainian journalist, proposed a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbass. Let's have a look at what happened next. Spoiler alert — he was insulted and even yanked by the ears.
- Who are the ultraradicals?
Ruslan Kotsaba, journalist: The ultraradicals are a military party. These are people who are used to the war, probably earn money on the war, and plan to do so further.
- You're a liar and manipulator! A liar and manipulator! What do you earn money on? The FSB pays you!
- You see…
- Don't "you see" me! I know what you're going to say, you scum! I've had a look at you, propagandist. You propagandshit!
- He is a war veteran, Ruslan. I ask you to respect the person who was at war. You didn't. Ruslan, this person was at war. You weren't, so have some respect.
- I was a war correspondent, I know it all!
- But you didn't fight there!
- Do you want to get kicked out of here?
- Friends, ultranationalist inhabitants of Lvov, I ask you — make a walk of shame for this Moscow propagandist.
- We're different but we all want peace. The majority the president gained says we want peace.
- Speak for yourself! I want a victory! I don't want peace, I want a victory! I want a victory of the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian state, Ukrainian weapons. A victory for Ukraine.
Let me remind you that according to official Ukrainian statistics, these people possess 1.5 million unlicensed small arms. Let's keep this in mind. If you were in the Donbass War, meaning you killed some of your compatriots, then you can do whatever you want. If you call for peace on Ukrainian TV, then you're scum from the FSB, I quote, a "propagandshit", and a scumbag.
