Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said that extremists should not be allowed to damage the reputation of Lviv as a hospitable city. "I am confident that Lviv is the pride of Ukraine and a wonderful hospitable city, and extremists should not be allowed to ruin its reputation," he said at a government meeting on Wednesday.

Azarov said that the government should prevent any criminal actions related to the violation of human rights.

"I don't agree and I will never agree that our citizens cannot feel safe, wherever they are," he said.

He said he was satisfied with how Victory Day celebrations generally took place in Ukraine.

"The celebration showed that Ukrainian society generally rejects splitting attempts to distort the great feat of our people during the Second World War," Azarov said.

Putin planned this entire episode. He sent his personal Fascist army known as the "Nashi" to Lviv, gave them armbands that look like the ones used by the Ukrainian Svoboda party. So, the "Nashi" who are now impersonating Ukrainian patriots - displayed a 100 foot Communist flag and attacked aging veterans to blame it on Ukrainians. This tactic is widely used by terrorist organizations like Al-Quaeda when they dress up as Afghan police and army personnel, and bomb civilians. It was also used by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge, when English speaking Germans dressed as Americans to try to sabotage their operations. This episode was planned by Putin and Yanukovych to discredit the patriotic Svoboda party. Yanukovych's ratings have plummeted, and he is getting desperate.

More Russian extremists are invading Lviv May 22!

Ukrainian hospitality is world known. The Russian communists are pigs eating at the trough. Lviv would have been far more hospitable if the Russian generals would have stayed home with their red rag of a flag.
