Eventually - the Ukrainians are going to have to fight back.
A terrorist translatd that.

It sounds like a Kiev-inspired thug is calling the Russian population that wants to re-join Russia “terrorists”. Pretty ironic after the way they seized power in Kiev.
Looks like Putin is making his next move.
Putin statement to an FSB gathering today:
“Russia’s laws today give us the conditions we need for non-governmental and public organisations to work freely and transparently.
But we will never accept for them to be used for destructive purposes. We will not accept a situation such as happened in Ukraine, when in many cases it was through non-governmental organisations that the nationalist and neo-Nazi groups and militants, who became the shock troops in the anti-constitutional coup d’état, received funding from abroad.
I ask you to pay attention too, to setting up the FSB’s branches in the new Russian Federation constituent entities of Crimea and Sevastopol.
Their tasks will include making sure that people with a criminal past and advocates of various radical and extremist movements – people who want to prevent the region’s normal development, in other words – do not burrow their way into government bodies there.
Colleagues, counterintelligence has always been one of the FSB’s main areas of work. This is indeed an important part of your responsibilities. Last year alone, the security services put an end to the activities of 46 employees of foreign intelligence services and 258 of their agents.”
This is not just reiterating previous statements.
The Russian government appears to be saying now that the entire leadership in Kiev is illegitimate, that it is supported by non-government organizations and foreign backers who destabilized the country, and that it represents, or at least mirrors, the kinds of existential threats that the FSB is tasked with defeating.
Is Russia now making the next stage of a rhetorical argument for invading eastern Ukraine?

Interesting how “Terrorist” has become the new N-word, employed to silence all discussion and disagreement. I really don’t know whose hands are clean in this mess — the “illegal” new regime in Kiev that overthrew Ukraine’s duly elected government, or the armed insurrectionists in Eastern Ukraine that now want to join with Russia. But what I do know is that these are matters for Ukraine and Russia to decide, and none of our business.
A friend phoned his father. He lives in a small town near Donetsk a miner’s village in the stepps.
GOOGLE TRANSLATION:
-As how does the mood [of the people]swings, the separatists support people? -speak.
-These Clowns? Heard something about them. But no one takes them seriously. How can the miners support a bunch of homeless people?
But if Putin troops enters, what will [you do]? -I ask.
-Well, I am spoke with the men. All served. Will create guerrilla units and fight.
We [will] mine our own building, know where the trunk comes out. All faces, pins can be with closed eyes. Us there and the atomic explosion did not visit.
Then.. Carry on, if that.
