A leaked memo has revealed that a US government-funded think tank has advised the Ukrainian government to engage in an all-out war in the east, including placing citizens in internment camps and killing all who resist government actions.
The memo is attributed to the RAND Corporation, the think tank that offers research and analysis to the US armed forces.
In a shocking letter, RAND outlined a brutal, step-by-step guide for dealing with pro-Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine.
The proposal calls for a three-stage military campaign to guarantee victory. It said that first the government should suspend the constitution and impose martial law.
Then all communications should be shut down and dissident citizens should be put in internment camps. Kiev was also advised to kill all who resist the government actions.
In the final stage, all refugees from the war zone would be allowed to return home, while the property of residents convicted of offenses would be nationalized.
The United States and Russia are at loggerheads over Crimea, with Washington accusing Moscow of orchestrating an “illegitimate referendum to annex Crimea” and fuelling unrest in eastern Ukraine.
