It looks like this passive/active resistance has almost reached its
limits. The Ukrainian military in Krym is under stress and might be lost
everyday now. Especially unpleasant development that the air defense units
will be lost first. In those locations the Russians are planning to deploy
their air defense system. As soon as it is in place and ready, the fate
of Krym as well as a big portion of the South is sealed from military
point of view. What I do not understand is why the Russians have not done
it already. There are some things I am not sure how to interpret. For
example, according to the press and what I see on TV there are only around
200 hundred Ukrainian marines blocked on the Ukrainian BRIGADE
base. Brigade should have more than 2000 troops. Where is the rest? Maybe
the things are not that easy for the Russians as it seems.

There is one more diplomatic card to play. The Russian government
vehemently has denied that the armed "green creatures from Mars" are not
the Russian regulars. In such a case the Ukrainian government has all the
rights to declare anti-terrorism operation in Krym. Russia should be asked
to keep her troops in the barracks for the duration. If Russia refuses,
this country should
be labeled as "terrorism sponsoring state". I think we should disseminate
wildly this term in connection with word "Russia".
