Kiev (AFP) - Ukraine's acting president on Wednesday said Crimea's separatist leaders had three hours to release the detained head of the ex-Soviet state's navy or face "an adequate response".

Acting president Oleksandr Turchynov said in a statement that "unless Admiral (Sergiy) Gayduk and all the other hostages -- both military and civilian ones -- are released, the authorities will carry out an adequate response... of a technical and technological nature."

Next, you’ll be telling me he’s an incredibly devout Christian. Gees. Do you Putinisatas ever give up and accept that there is something profoundly wrong with Putin?

[caww]

Only a few had covered faces and those who resisted uncovering their faces were arrested.

Sounds like PTSD might be getting in your way of thinking if that’s the case that you have been in many dangerous places.

[elhombrelibre]

No, it means any gibberish you come up with cannot scare me. Go praise your God Putin and leave me alone.

I haven’t forgotten the Polish came to our aid in Iraq. They are good people.

Ukraine did too.

[BunnySlippers]

Technical AND technological? BOTH? :o)

It really is pathetic. How did our Founders feel about tinpot dictators?

It's a Russian thing.

For our founders and about 40% of us today it's about individual freedom.

For these folks it's about being in a tribe, getting behind a controlling dictator and being protected from the horde.

Now, THAT's quite a response.

Just a question of curiosity; how do we really know the Ukraine's got rid of all their nuclear capability?
Might make sense why they are pulling troops...

Sounds like PTSD...

...or a severe case of blowharditis.

Ukraine has been run by a Putin boot licker stooge for the past few years. He did everything possible to keep Ukraine subservient to Russia. No chance they have viable nuke program at this point. Putin would have never allowed it.

OOps!....Alert Bulletin FYI:

EU has 'postponed' signing of the 'ECONOMIC section' of the Association Agreement with the EU and Ukraine!!!!!

Reason PM Yatsenyuk gave is the industrial areas in the East of Ukraine and free trade issues.........meanwhile the EU said they would open their markets to Ukraine....

The Prime Minister also said that the signing of the 'POLITICAL part' of the Association Agreement with the EU is scheduled March 21.

In addition, Yatsenyuk said "Despite the catastrophic deterioration of relations with Russia, admitted no fault of ours, despite the armed aggression of Russia against Ukraine,.. I will do everything possible to not only keep the peace, ....but also 'to build a genuine partnership with Russia' and good neighborly relations".

Ha!.... Now the Euro-maiden protesters are getting their pants in a knot over him wanting to once again have ties with Russia....because it was EXACTLY the same decision of former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov which gave birth to Eromaiden in the first place and split the country.

They are already talking about getting rid of Prime Minister Yatsenyuk after this comment...news like this travels fast...

Just goes to show Yatsenyuk and the rest in the Gov. are NOT calling the shots...surprise surprise...they signed off to the EU, sold out their country... and now they do it all the EU WAY!
