The celebrations of the anniversary of the baptism of Russia have been marred by a blast in a church in the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye.
This cowardly and despicable act was hatched in Washington and London. It is MO already used in ex-Yugoslavia, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Metohija and many other places on the Planet. Hope Russia will act decisively. There is a Fifth column operating there and has been for some time.
why do they do it? just why do they have to do this to innocent people?
I would be carefull with Ukrain! From the country's previous confusion about the NATO membership we could see that Ukrain is NOT 100% with Russia! Ukrain has to learn to rely on itself economically and politically. The country could easy turn it's back on Russia again and become friendly with countries that don't uphold the same values as Russia does! Russians have to become more ruthless if they want to survive as a nation! Maria Kuznetsova

Yes - the current Ukrainian administration has been encouraging a rapprochement in relations with Russia, widely supported by the Ukrainians, a substantial proportion of whom have Russian family ties. There have also been economic benefits (e.g. the cheap gas and Black Sea Fleet deal) for ordinary Ukrainians. The Ukrainian nationalists who Yuschenko was friendly with are no doubt annoyed that their extremist views cannot be imposed on Ukraine but one has to question both the sanity and morality of anyone prepared to carry out such a despicable and cowardly act.










I have a distinct feeling the Russian Patriarchy may do well for not going easy on his overt commentary on the link between Ukraine and Russia as one people at this sensitive moment when the political and economic relations of the two countries are improving. This is not to suggest that this bomb blast has anything with visit to Ukraine by the Head of Russian Orthodox Church but I do feel his visit to Ukraine at this critical moment and his overt praising of the current Ukrainian head of state may buttress anti-Russian feelings among some segments of the Ukrainian society rather then easing them.
