It’s Sunday night at the Kremlin. They’ll get their talking points on Monday, and when the final results are in.
The answers I'm getting are expressing doubt that the coup gov will leave without some urging.
“Proshenko’s victory ruins all the “neo-nazi junta in Kiev” narration of the Kremlin”
Regardless of what happens, the rebels can claim the election is illegitimate, because the result didn’t include the Southeast.
As I said, Poroshenko has but ONE chance to make this right. He HAS to crack down on the Oligarch’s and Warlord Militia’s, which is going to upset lots of people, likely including the Obama Administration.
Fail, and the Southeast is gone, and Russia has cause to intervene to protect them. Try thinking this through.
