RT reported on this this morning.

The Guardian left out the biggest reward

The highest reward, according to the pricelist, will go to those who free government buildings from protesters – US $200,000.

...

Besides publishing the bounties pricelist, Kolomoysky’s deputy, Borys Filatov, announced that a special battalion “Dnepr” had been created in the region and Dnepropetrovsk was fortified with check-points.

The Dnepr battalion is just one of several military units recently created by the new Ukrainian authorities.

In mid-March Ukraine’s National Guard was formed from the Maidan self-defense squads which helped bring down President Yanukovich. It was announced back then that the Guard will number 60,000 personnel.

The press should stop trying to whitewash what's going on.

A pro-Kiev oligarch offered a $10,000 (£6,000) bounty on Thursday for the capture of any Russian "saboteur"

The word on the poster is "moskali". It doesn't mean "saboteur". Moskali is a derogatory Ukrainian term for Russians, the equivalent of calling a Jew a Kike.

Here's one of the posters

Svoboda Party activist Oleksandr Aronets has published a photo of the Privatbank banner, which says: “$10,000 for a moskal (slang term for “Russian”). A profitable offer from Privatbank.” Kolomoisky owns Privatbank along with another billionaire businessman, Gennadiy Bogolyubov.

Lovely. We're supporting a regime that offers bounties for capturing/killing its own citizens. That worked out so well in Afghanistan.

How much for capturing an oligarch?
