Russia is not going to allow a neo-Nazi regime to take power in Kiev by force, which is what just happened (read who are the deputy PM’s and ministers in this new unelected government) and bring millions of Russians under their control. The Crimea is 67% or so Russian. It was Russian territory until Khrushchev (a Ukrainian) gave it to Soviet Ukraine in 1954 as a gift.
Only fools thought this would stand. Fools in the EU and in the White House.
Really, where did you get that information, from the RT Russian Times?

If we are talking ethnic-Russian....it’s barely twenty percent of the far east of Ukraine....which fits into this statistic. Out of twenty-four Oblasts (counties)....there’s only around eight which might fit into this scheme. This comes out to roughly seventeen percent of the total population....which say they are more Russian than Ukrainian.
A split? No doubt. And there’s going to be German, Polish and various European troops standing by to ensure order (forget the Americans....they are paying the peace dividend back and don’t have the strength). Here’s the silly part of the story. These Russians stuck in their Russian Crimea...will be waiting on Russian aid to come and support them. It may be ten years before they admit there’s just no aid and this split was awful stupid for their own economy.
