A group of Russian infiltrators (citizens of Russia) have seized power
in central Donetsk, proclaimed their "Governor" and demand
"federalization" (the new "Putin doctrine" for Southeast Ukraine). The
police could have dealt with them, but did not on the excuse that
interfering with "foreigners" from Russia would give Putin a pretext
for invading "to defend his co-citizens"....
Meanwhile the same plan has failed in Odesa...
But the most worrisome development is the talk that Russia plans to
kill some of its own soldiers in the Crimea, blame it on the
"Banderites" and use that as an excuse to start a genuine shooting
war.. An adapted leaf from Hitler's book when he invaded Poland in 1939.
