The Pro-Moscow Youth Movement to Shock Ukraine’s Yushenko

From MOSNEWS

Members of the newly-formed EURASIAN YOUTH UNION – a radical organization founded in Moscow to oppose the so-called "colour revolutions" in post Soviet republics, have promised to "shock President Yushenko of Ukraine" with their next protest actions.

The leader of Kharkov’s department Alexander Medinsky said: "We shall now sabotage Yushcenko’s economic privatization plans. We shall be more active and radical in our actions, up to blocking airports and international highways."

Although this movement is still very young, it has already 60 regional departments in Russia and branches in Ukraine, Belarus, Great Britain, Turkey and Poland.

This Youth movement demands Yushenko’s resignation together with his government, banning all foreign organizations and also foreign religious organizations in the country and deporting all US nationals.
