Anarchy in the country. In Kiev still shoot and rob, people come to hospitals with injuries. No road police, no SWAT. Complete crap. No money in the national treasury.@vostok What will happen with Crimea and Naval Base of Russia in Mediteran sea?
That idiot Tymoshenko want Ukraine in NATO?

Russia prepares law on which refugees from Ukraine - ethnic Russian can receive citizenship in a simplified mode. So if it will be very tight - I'll go to Russia.Leave Ukraine and come to the west.
But you know where is Ianoukovitch ?

What happened in the country - the result of his stupidity and cowardice of Yanukovich. He was like Nicholas II who destroyed the Russian empire.
While nothing is clear. In Crimea arming people. In Odessa, too. Terrorists from Kiev most likely will go to south.
What is ukraine's problem?It has some of the most fertile soil in the world,abundant heavy industry and raw materials and access to the sea.I don't really understand why its economy is like this?Explain?
Well, losing his Presidency to the opposition was not entirely his fault.
Since Ukraine is no like USSR anymore, the President and the Party don't have the control over the army.
Before the riot, the Ukrainian army got already held back and bribed by the West, that's why they chose to side with the opposition, while Yanuvovych's police troop was absolutely exhausted during several months of struggle, they can't handle the situation anymore.
That's why Putin needs a firmly control over the Russian army, otherwise the West will try to repeat the same kind of coup on Russia.
Today at 12:00 from the Russian port of Temryuk should arrive in Sevastopol [Crimea], the large landing ship “Nikolai Fil’chenkov” with 200 soldiers on board. This was reported today by the chairman of the Ukraine “Freedom” faction Oleg Tyagnibok citing sources in the Crimean.
“I can show you the text message” – said Tyahnibok and read: “Today at 12:00 is expected the arrival from the port of Temryuk in the Russian Federation in the city of Sevastopol large landing ship Nikolai Fil’chenkov from the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. It will bring about 200 armed soldiers from the 328th Marine battalion, who are based in Temryuk and 10 BTR-80.”
He also noted that “on February 22-23, … IL-76 flights airlifted from Kubinka (Moscow region) to Anapa, personnel from the 45th Airborne Special Forces unit and additional divisions were relocated via four Il-76 flights from Pskov to Anapa. And from Sochi to Anapa were transported six Mi-8 helicopsters”- said Tyahnibok.
This appears to not be an isolated move as the naval build up seems to be escalating. In a concurrent release, Izvestia Kiev reported that out of Kubinka, four ships carrying special forces, are being relocated to Anapa. From there, in four hours, they will depart fo Sevastopol at a speed of 10-15 knots, citing “Izvestia in Ukraine” as a source.
Crimea has signaled secession from Ukraine and possible annexation by Russia may be acceptable. The Guardian reported earlier today that a Russian flag was hoisted over the city hall in Sevastopol.
Rumors are rife that Viktor Yanukovych, the deposed president of Ukraine, may be hiding out in Crimea.
Why?
Because of the Carpathian Mountains.
…since Ukraine is on the Russian side of the Carpathians… those mountains would no longer be a barrier to invasion and would double Russia’s vulnerability. Russia would need twice the army to guard that border. And, Russia cannot afford to support an army of that size.
That is why Russia CANNOT allow Ukraine to fall into the hands of the European Union. So, expect Russia to quietly and firmly up the pressure. If Putin can take back Ukraine by covert means, he’ll do that. If the US and EU block covert action, Putin will send in troops.
Army of Ukraine subordinate to the President . He had all the resources to stop the insurgency in first days. In Belarus, the West every few years trying to arrange maidan , but Lukashenko takes the side of the people and not allow terrorists to come to power . Yanukovych simply rag - he feared for his life . He believed that he can negotiate with the West - but as soon as he signed an agreement with the opposition ( with the West ) - he was immediately declared illegitimate and now there is no guarantees even for his live , not talking about freedom and money.Well, losing his Presidency to the opposition was not entirely his fault.
