Yes , this is modern [Putin] Russia:

So, 15 days in jail (for second participation in an unsanctioned demonstrations, if the person was previously warned) - it's absolutely not a death penalty.
P.S. Yes, it will be more harsh penalty if the person at the street demonstration fight against police... But sorry, what the US police does in that cases? ;-) Yes, it's sarcasm, so please don't explain me what the US police does.

The New York Times: A Ukrainian Billionaire Fought Russia. Now He’s Ready to Embrace It.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
...Mr. Kolomoisky, widely seen as Ukraine’s most powerful figure outside government, given his role as the patron of the recently elected President Volodymyr Zelensky, has experienced a remarkable change of heart: It is time, he said, for Ukraine to give up on the West and turn back toward Russia.
“They’re stronger anyway. We have to improve our relations,” he said, comparing Russia’s power to that of Ukraine. “People want peace, a good life, they don’t want to be at war. And you” — America — “are forcing us to be at war, and not even giving us the money for it.
[...]
he told The Times in a profanity-laced discussion, the West has failed Ukraine, not providing enough money or sufficiently opening its markets.
Instead, he said, the United States is simply using Ukraine to try to weaken its geopolitical rival. “War against Russia,” he said, “to the last Ukrainian.” Rebuilding ties with Russia has become necessary for Ukraine’s economic survival, Mr. Kolomoisky argued. He predicted that the trauma of war will pass.
“Give it five, 10 years, and the blood will be forgotten,” Mr. Kolomoisky said. “I showed in 2014 that I don’t want to be with Russia,” he added. “I’m describing, objectively, what I’m seeing and where things are heading.”

The Diplomat: Why China is Setting its Sights on Ukraine. Beijing’s bid for geopolitical influence in Kyiv is increasing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Recently, Beijing has seriously set its eyes on the defense industry of Ukraine. Since 2017, Ukraine is the second biggest supplier of weapons to China, after Russia. The attempt to acquire the Ukrainian giant Motor Sich, a leading helicopter and airplane engine maker, has raised eyebrows among Kyiv’s Western partners, and is being pursued despite an ongoing investigation since 2015. Using the practice of mergers and acquisitions to secure access to R&D is a repeat story of what happened back in 1998 when China acquired the Ukrainian aircraft carrier, formerly known as Varyag. The acquisition of the Ukrainian well-developed aircraft company, which has built engines for the world’s largest transport aircraft the An-225 Mriya, would give Beijing vital defense technology and boost Chinese military buildup and civil aviation capacity, at a time when in the United States and in Western Europe the regulatory backlash against Chinese investment in strategic R&D companies is increasing.

Italia: Stopped neo-Nazis in Turin: they treated the sale of a missile
------------------------------------------------------------
The anti-terrorism section of the Turin Digos concluded an operation this morning against three people responsible for the possession of war weapons and firearms.

The investigations began about a year ago when the police headquarters in Turin, coordinated by the Central Directorate of Prevention Police, had monitored some people linked to political movements of the ultra-right and who had fought in the Ukrainian region of Donbass against the separatists.

In the end thanks to wiretapping and stalking it was discovered that a man from Gallarate, in the province of Varese, illegally held a santabarbara; the man was also highlighted for the sale of an air-to-air missile that was then found and seized in the province of Pavia.

In addition to the missile, which has no explosive but "resettable" charge, Digos investigators seized 9 assault rifles, a submachine gun, 7 pistols, 3 shotguns, 20 bayonets, almost a thousand cartridges and many parts of weapons.

KIEV, April 25. /TASS/. Verkhovna Rada members adopted the law "Providing the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the official one," which enshrines its exclusive rights against the other languages in the country. This decision was backed by 278 MPs, with the minimal needed number being 226.

[...]
Co-founder of the "Opposition Platform - For Life" Yuri Boiko earlier called the specified language law "punitive." "I think that this draft law splits the society and spoils our relations with the neighbors," he stressed. The opposition politician also noted that Ukraine’s multi-national people speak 79 languages, and the current authorities are creating an atmosphere of intolerance to language diversity.
The document gained resonance in the country and abroad. So, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatovic addressed the parliamentary members, asking them to suspend the work on the draft law for the period of election and provide participation of representatives for national minorities in its development.

P.S. The provisions of the document stipulate that all citizens now have to use the Ukrainian language in all the spheres of their life, except the sphere of private communication and religious ceremonies. "Language inspectors" will monitor the execution of the law. They will be present at sessions in any state bodies, demand documents from public organizations and political parties and issue fines.

And your point is?

I don't know why must I have point about it. It's curiously only. In the reality, state policy is cardinally other business. I think, Zelensky will makes decisions that is profitable for Kolomoyskyi. And, of course, Zelensky will makes decisions that is necessary for USA. And, on a third place, possible, he will makes decisions that is necessary for Ukraine and Ukrainian people. The question is how compatible is that three policies.

UNIAN: Ukrainian business oligarch Kolomoyskyi about Poroshenko and elections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do I want him to lose the election? I do not want him to get a second term and rules for another five years. Because the first five years, I believe, were five years of disappointment. War, devastation, decline in GDP, the emigration of a large part of the population, a decrease in the number of working-age population in Ukraine ... Everything is bad. There is nothing good. I can not write anything to him in an asset. It is enough to give two numbers. GDP - 116 billion for 2018. And per capita income, per capita GDP - $ 2,700. This is less than in Africa or Asia. These are the digital, statistical results of these five years of government. And where to go next? Enough. Let someone else do something useful.
[...]
Poroshenko creates new conflict situations, provocations, like in the Kerch Strait. And telling that the Russians did it ... The Russians did nothing there. We ourselves created a provocative situation and sent 23 or 24 people into prison.
[...]
It's a mystery to me, as the western partners of Ukraine do not see how evil Poroshenko is for Ukraine.

Ukraine will not take part in the Eurovision Song Contest-2019
All three finalists of the National Selection refused to participate in the Eurovision Contest.

Also, it's interesting and shows Ukrainian reality - "the National Selection-2019 revealed and attracted the attention of our society to the systemic problem of the music industry in Ukraine: the connections of artists from the show business in the territory of the aggressor state, which are still very close at the 5th year of the military conflict."

I did feel that was the reason for your Pro-Putin/Anti-Ukraine posts and just wanted confirmation.

Do you really think that a "not anti-Putin" is synonym of "pro-Putin"? If somebody want two official language and federal structure for Ukraine - so he is anti-Ukrainian? And better way for peace in Ukraine - it's prolongation of war against separatists?
LOL. That's widespread example of primitive thinking.

It's a big problem of Western civilization's people, they say about pluralism and freedom of expression but at the same time they are sure that only one (their) point of view about the situation in the world is true.

A non-Russian poster from Kazakhstan constantly denying these truths makes one wonder why.

Well, you simply don't understand reality of the ex-USSR countries. I live in Kazakhstan but I have not any Kazakh ethnical roots, I have Russian and Ukrainian roots. And I grew up in the united country, when the Ukraine and Russia was not foreign countries in Kazakhstan.
Also, it's interesting for me, to show some Western persons a some sides of Ukrainian reality, some facts which a Western media don't like to show. And I hope the Eastern Ukraine will get Russian language as the second official language and some federative structure in Ukraine.

P.S. BTW, Kazakhstan don't see any threat from Russia. Because our media don't create fantom of such threat and our politicians don't want to join NATO.
