Maidan receives more and more confirmation about presence of Russian troops in Ukraine.

“Yesterday at night between 1:00 and 4:00 four airplanes with Russian military troops (approx. 400-450 persons) landed in Ivano-Frankivsk. They were dressed into uniform of Ukrainian troops and were sent to Kyyiv by buses. At the moment of planes arrival, the airport was surrounded by military forces.”

Uh - Oh.............

Is this from a "DEBKA" type news org?

[Grzegorz 246]

Of course "the west" won't react. Putin is doing whatever he wants.

Here is a confirmation of this from another (US) source:

former Colorado Congressman Bob Schaffer:"

RUSSIAN TROOPS IN UKRAINE"

MP Julia Tymoshenko confirmed that many of the guards are indeed Russians dressed in Ukrainian militia uniforms. They're bedecked in riot gear -- helmets, face shields, 3' riot shields, black uniforms, etc.

The presence of Russian troops here is a very serious international incident. This causes great tension between the U.S. and Russia.

This causes great tension between the U.S. and Russia.

I don't get that last sentence.

What do you think, Grzegorz ? Russia deploying troops just to protect its assets there, or is it some way to strong-arm the Ukrainian voters into complacency ?

[BenLurkin]

[b2stealth]

They deploy thier forces for the same reason they did it in Chehoslovakiya..

To shot people dead..

Russians protecting president Kuchma who is hated by 99% of population, and Kuchma doesn't trust Ukrainian special forces to shoot thier own citizens..

[Grzegorz 246]

Putin stole elections. Yanukovych is a Putin's puppet and criminal. I doubt (and hope) that Russians won't start any open military action - I think that they just want to put more pressure on opposition. We should step in from the west If Russians start open intervention - I hope that western Europe would support us - I've got impression that EU is hardly interested in these events.

Putin is re building the Soviet Empire, one satellite at a time.

The man is rotten

Damn Putin, I always saying that he is commie bastard. Don’t be afraid Lizol will kick their asses. :-) Seriously Russians once again showed what a assholes they are!!
