Again? They talk about it every two or three days. The truth is that militia started a counter-offensive, and junta can not recognize that it is not able to cope with militia. And they just creating fairy tales about Russian invasion almost every day.

Ukraine isn't part of the E.U
Ukraine isn't part of NATO
Ukraine isn't of any value to the West
our priorities are messed up

If Russia has invaded, it depends a lot on EU/NATO. If they decide to "intervene", everyone's screwed.

Ukraine does have value, it is a strategically important location with many pipelines etc passing through it. Ukraine being under Russian control threatens NATO interests.

Most of the territory, where is now located the state "Ukraine" was part of Russia since 862 AD. How can it threaten NATO ???
Russian missiles in Cuba or Nicaragua, or in Canada - is a threat to NATO. But what does Ukraine, where leaves15 million Russian + 15 million Russian-speaking Ukrainians to do with NATO??? What are you talking about?

I am not saying it threatens NATO, I'm saying it threatens NATO interests, which are obviously expanding and keeping Russia away. Thats why they supported the "revolution" and are now supporting the Kiev junta. Its pretty obvious that NATO want dominance over Russia.

Let me clarify that i'm not in support of NATO or the current Kiev government. What changed is that the "revolution" tried to pull Ukraine away from Russian influence and ally with NATO/EU. Who benefits from that? Definitely not Russia.

I agree with you. Everything in this world threatens NATO interests, if one dare to disobey to "exceptional nation". But I have to disappoint them - Novorossia will win her legitimate right to freedom, independence and Union with Mother Russia.

finally you understand it, russia in fact is more important to the west than ukraine which is pretty much a poor country that has nothing to offer in comparison to russia.

Russia can bring more force and firepower to Eastern Ukraine than anyone else on Earth.

The day Russia decides to intervene directly, it will be game over.

Ukrainian junta should bear this in mind, even the rest of the world combined cannot bring more force to Eastern Ukraine than Russia can.
