Why Ukraine's human rights chief Lyudmila Denisova was dismissed
A majority of Ukrainian parliamentarians from different parties, including President Zelenskyy's governing Servant of the People party, removed Lyudmyla Denisova after a vote of no-confidence on May 31.
Ukraine's opposition Fatherland party, headed by Yulia Tymoshenko, and ex-President Petro Poroshenko's European Solidarity party voted against the move. Few saw Denisova's dismissal coming.
Denisova, who until recently served as thecountry's ombudsperson for human rights, had considerable authority to protect civil rights and oversee prisoner swaps.
Her term would have ended next year. Neither the constitution nor any other legislation ordinarily allows for premature dismissal from her office. Lawmakers, however, made use of martial law, which permits the removal of all appointees.
Accusations against Denisova
The deputy chairman of the parliament regulatory committee, Pavlo Frolov, says Denisova failed to oversee the opening of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine warzones, address the abduction of Ukrainians from occupied territories, and the protection and exchange of prisoners.
Instead, Frolov says that Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk stepped in. Her ministry, which in charge of the occupied regions, took on most human rights-related challenges relating to the war, according to the Servant of the People lawmaker.
He also accuses her of having focused too much on media work, and on describing sexually motivated crimes in gratuitous detail as well as the raping of children in occupied territories. However, some of these accounts, he said, had not been verified, which had harmed Ukraine's reputation and distracted media attention from other, proven crimes and problems.
Frolov also accuses Denisova of having spent considerable time abroad after Russia attacked the country on February 24. He says instead of traveling to Russia or Belarus, where she could have worked to free Ukrainian prisoners, or alleviate the suffering of people in occupied Kherson, Denisova was staying in "warm, peaceful western Europe."
Many Ukrainian journalists and human rights activists were outraged when they read Denisova's detailed descriptions on her Facebook account.
"Sexually motivated crimes during wartime are a tragedy, but they should not be the subject of a kind of 'chronicle of scandal'," an open letter penned by 140 activists, media professionals, lawyers, psycologists and other public figures stated.
The letter goes on to say "it is the job of the ombudsperson to first and foremost consider the rights and dignity of survivors and their relatives."
Politicized office?
Many signatories of the letter nevertheless take issue with Denisova's sudden dismissal. "We as human rights activists doubt [Denisova's] competence and independence," says Tetiana Pechonchyk, who heads Kyiv's human rights organization ZMINA. "Four years ago, we protested against the politicization of her nomination; but what is happening now is totally arbitrary and damages the office of Ukraine's human rights chief."
The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) and its European partners have also spoken up. A letter penned by them to parliamentary speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns her dismissal could "severely disrupt the important work that needs to be done in these times of conflict." The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine says Denisova's removal "violates international standards."
Denisova, meanwhile, claims the presidential office pushed for her removal. She says it "did not approve of my work, which aimed to gather and analyze information about human rights violations in occupied areas." She will contest her dismissal in court.
There have been other attempts to remove her from office. Last autumn, a lawmaker with the ruling Servant of the People party set up an inquiry committee to look into Denisova's failure to move ahead with several lawsuits, although courts had asked her to.
Opposition lawmakers at the time said the inquiry was launched by the presidential office to exact revenge on Denisova for criticizing the "anti-oligarchy law" as unconstitutional.
Who will take over?
Before Denisova took over as human rights chief in March 2018, the post had remained vacant for a year after her predecessor, Valeriya Lutkovska, was dismissed. She had been the first woman to hold the post.
Who should succeed her sparked intense political negations between what was then thePetro Poroshenko Bloc, and the People's Front party, which ultimately nominatedDenisova.
Ukrainian human rights activists now warn against further politicizing the office. They are calling for human rights experts, rather than lawmakers, to apply for the job in an open, transparent procedure. Nelly Yakovleva, deputy head of the parliamentary human rights committee, says, so far, no candidates had submitted applications.

An air to air missile. Pray tell what planes does Ukraine have that are able to fire them, have been modified to carry them and lastly have trained pilots to use them?
You then post a video of a IRIS-T SLM . A different, ground to air system, Why?
German government spokesperson Büchner:
"Chancellor Scholz has announced the decision to supply Ukraine with the most advanced air defence system, the Iris-T system."
Journalist: "As far as I know, it's an air-to-air missile system. But there are almost no serviceable aircraft left in Ukraine to mount it.
So there is no point in supplying such missiles?
Büchner: "I will have to skip this question because it is technical in nature."

Does the German Chancellor deliberately confuse his parliament? Or is he not aware of the different types of weapons he is "delivering?
The press briefing video supplied appears to ask the question in Spanish, maybe one of our Spanish/German-speaking members may wish to clarify the translation.
Here is another video of statement from the German Chancellor again stating the IRIS T missile system not the IRIS-T SLM system.
At 0:42 is a "IRIS-T system".

Again German language.
The Hill is closely watching how the Defense Department allocates the recently passed $40 billion in aid to Ukraine, aware it's been burned in the past.
The Pentagon was already struggling to keep up with Congress’ demands for oversight of its spending. Then, lawmakers earmarked an extra $40 billion for Ukraine.
Concerns are mounting on Capitol Hill about the Biden administration’s ability to properly account for the unprecedented wave of cash and to track the thousands of U.S. weapons heading to Ukraine for its war with Russia. And given the Pentagon’s recent track record concerning congressional oversight, it’s coming under increased scrutiny from members of both parties — from progressive Elizabeth Warren to libertarian Rand Paul.
Some lawmakers are already warning the Biden administration that a future aid package could lose the overwhelming congressional support that has been a hallmark of the previous efforts. A key barometer will be the Pentagon’s handling and complete accounting of the funds, which has lagged in other areas, sparking scrutiny from congressional committees.
Sen. Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, said in an email that a full accounting of the already-appropriated funding will be “critically important for both past and future funding requests.”
“The U.S. government is sending billions in humanitarian, economic, and military assistance to help the Ukrainian people overcome Putin’s brutal war, and the American people expect strong oversight by Congress and full accounting from the Department of Defense,” she added.
Pentagon spokesperson Marine Corps Lt. Col. Anton Semelroth said the department is “committed” to transparency with the public and with Congress about the security assistance funds. But he stressed that war involves risk, and called on Russia to end the conflict.
“Risk of diversion is one of many considerations that we routinely assess when evaluating any potential arms transfer,” Semelroth said. “In this case, risk would be considerably minimized by the full withdrawal from Ukraine by Russian forces.”
While all Democrats and most Republicans voted for the aid package in May, it’s unclear whether that coalition can stick together if President Joe Biden asks Congress for more money before the end of the fiscal year, as many on the Hill predict will be the case. The Pentagon already owes Congress a backlog of reports on its spending for European security, and progressives and conservatives alike have said they’ll be looking for more cooperation before approving another cash infusion.

From reading some of the posts in this thread,It seems that the same people who argue that Russia is a paper tiger that can't even conquer a city not far from it's border, defended by a second grade military
Also argue that Russia is a dangerous threat to Europe that can only be contained through easterly Nato expansion .
Personally I can't reconcile these diametrically opposed views held by the same people.
Perhaps some one can explain it to me.
Russian state tv admits that the main backbone of Ukrainian forces fighting in Donbass are Russian speakers, and residents of Russian speaking regions.
Note to sabang: They don't really want to be "liberated".

While Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has been standing by Vladimir Putin, thousands of his people have been planning acts of sabotage and their own revolution.
A vast network of former Belarusian officials, activists, private hackers and ordinary citizens has reached deep into Russia's war with the aim of helping Ukrainians defeat their invaders.
The Belarusians' fight is a personal one.
They believe if Russia fails in Ukraine, the people of Belarus will be closer to freedom at home.
'The railway war'
Inspired by their "partisan ancestors" who destroyed rail networks and Nazi supply lines in World War II, Belarusian saboteurs inside the country — as well as across the world — came together and launched "the railway war".
"Our activists destroyed relay boxes and central signalling," Belarusian police officer turned resistance leader Aliaksandr Azarau told the ABC.
"Russian soldiers near Kyiv did not receive ammunition and fuel on time. The Russians often abandoned their military machines and walked back to Russia."
