Snipers on Maidan were trained in Poland
The presidential candidate of Poland Janusz Korwin-Mikke said Euromaidan in Kiev was a special operation of Warsaw. According to the MEP, his country had participated in the coup on an equal basis ith the CIA. For example, snipers were trained in Poland. According to Janusz, “terrorists shot dead 40 protesters and 20 policemen on Maidan in order to provoke unrest.”
He also noted that the Europeans and the Poles don’t have to be afraid of Russia. In particular, “there is no competing interests of Warsaw and Moscow. In the Polish-Russian border there is no problem. The injection of war sentiments on a hand of the United States.”
According to the presidential candidate of Poland, “Ukrainians have to thank Americans for everything. Moscow has no intention to take away anything from Kiev. “
The crisis in Ukraine, according to Janusz, is “ideal situation” for Poland. Because the benefit of Warsaw is “the existence of an independent, but weak Ukraine.”
