Russia / Ukraine thread

My meaningless prediction:
So there are also reports of Tanks making ready on other fronts (Belarus) - I assume the play here is that the Russian Armor is going to roll into the separatist controlled area totally unopposed, all the while treating the other hundred thousand troops everywhere else as a Knife to the throat of the rest of Ukraine. When the Russians decide the border of this new republic is behind the line of control, they'll issue a warning to the Ukrainian army to retreat or they'll have no choice to do it the hard way, while nodding at the divisions sitting in Belarus, Crimea, and everywhere else.

Good thing we've made it very clear that this is naughty behavior.

Reminds me of when you tell a puppy no 400 times and it just learns to ignore you.

As I've said before, Putin wants the territory that the old USSR had back together, this time under his thumb.
Those break away areas have ethnic russians in them, mainly because the USSR moved a bunch there.
Now Putin is using that similar to how Hitler did with the Sudetenland to protect ethnic Germans.
Bullshit in both cases.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield has just held an extremely brief press conference and didn’t take questions.

She reiterated that in the US’s view Russia’s move to recognise the Donetsk and Luhansk rebel areas “tore the Minsk agreement to shreds” and that the US would be announcing sanctions on Russia on Tuesday.

Ukraine’s representative Sergiy Kyslytsa was the second last diplomat to speak and condemned Putin’s “illegal and illegitmate” decision to recognise the rebel-held areas in Ukraine’s east.


He equated Russia to a virus that was affecting the world and infecting even the United Nations.

“The UN is sick; that’s a statement of fact,” Kyslytsa said, echoing the Albanian representatives comments on previous Russian manoeuvres. “It’s been hit by a virus spread by the Kremlin. Will it succumb to this virus? It’s in the hands of the members. Who is next?”

She (linda thomas-greenfiedl) has urged the UN to come together and condemn Russia’s move.

“No one can stand on the sidelines,” she said, stressing Moscow’s actions in Ukraine represent “an attack on every UN member state and the UN Charter”.
