"The
Liberation Of Southeast Ukraine Has Begun" - Crimean Vice
Premier
12
April, 2014
On
the day in which "pro-Russian separatists" are again
claiming one after another city in east Ukraine, and when Russia has
formally warned that any crackdown on protesters is "unacceptable"
implicitly
threatening retaliation should the promised use of special forces be
implemented, moments ago Rustan Temirgaliev, Deputy Chairman of the
Council of Miniisters of recently annexed by Russia Crimea, poured
some more fuel into the fire and announced on his Facebook
page that
"the
liberation of Southeast Ukraine has begun."
His
full statement:
With
things rapidly escalating out of control once more, Ukraine acting
president has finally decided to, well, act:
TURCHYNOV
CALLS UKRAINE SECURITY COUNCIL MTG ON EAST CRISIS
Sadly
for Kiev, as the even the Euromadian movement admits, following the
seizure of regional police derpartments, Kiev no longer has a way in.
"The
red arrows are seized police-departments. #Kiev
has no way in. (h/t @sanwaldinjo)

We
expect NATO to promptly join in the chorus, as well as the US and
Europe threatening with more severe and "costly" sanctions,
even as Russia is set to expand its territory for the second time in
under a month. All that is needed now is a spark, such as this one:
Report
of shooting at militia station in Kramatorsk
Arsen
Avakov says firefight in progress in Kramatorsk. District Police
precinct under attack, UKR policemen shooting back upon engagement.
Краматорск
From
the Facebook account of Arsen
Avakov,
Ukraine's acting internal minister:
The
message from the public face of the force behind the Kiev uprising
has a clear message for those who are now - in title at least - in
charge of Ukraine: will someone finally stand up to the Kremlin?

Ukraine
Prepares Military Response To Russian "Act Of Aggression";
Fears Specter of "Gas Wars"
12
April, 2014
Following
more firefights and government building seizures amid the so-called
"liberation of Southeast Ukraine," the Maidan's demands
that the government not "give up like in Crimea" appear
to be resonating woth leadership. Ukraine's interior minister Arsen
Avakov has declared: "The
Ukrainian authorities consider the events of the day as a display of
external aggression from Russia,"
adding that, ""Units
of the interior and defense ministries are implementing an
operational response plan."
Russia was quick to respond with threats of war action if Ukraine
suppresses pro-Russia 'self-defense' forces. As Reuters adds, with
the crisis escalating militarily, the specter of "gas wars"
is looming with Ukraine's
Energy Minister declaring, "we are probably steering towards
Russia turning off its gas provision."

Armed
separatists took virtual control of a city in eastern Ukraine on
Saturday and Kiev prepared troops to deal with what it called an "act
of aggression by Russia".
Pro-Russian
activists carrying automatic weapons seized government buildings in
Slaviansk and set up barricades on the outskirts of the city.
Official buildings in several neighboring towns were also attacked.
...
"The
Ukrainian authorities consider the events of the day as a display of
external aggression from Russia," Interior
Minister Arsen Avakov said in a statement.
"Units
of the interior and defense ministries are implementing an
operational response plan,"
he added.
Which
it seems Russia is quick to respond to...
Adm.#Kabanenko:
#Moscow
sources confirmed start war action in #Ukraine
If #Ukraine
suppresses pro-#Kremlins
#Russian
troops will be involved
Which
leaves the threat of "gas wars" imminently hanging in the
air...
With
the crisis in Ukraine still unresolved, the gas dispute threatens to
affect millions of people across Europe.
...
Russia
is demanding Kiev pay a much higher price for its gas, and settle
unpaid bills. Russian state-owned gas giant Gazprom and its Ukrainian
counterpart, Naftogaz, are in talks, but the chances of an agreement
are slim.
"I
would say we are coming nearer to a solution of the situation, but
one in the direction that is bad for Ukraine," Ukrainian
Energy Minister Yuri Prodan said in an interview with the German
newspaper Boersenzeitung
"We
are probably steering towards Russia turning off its gas provision,"
he was quoted as saying.
That
raised the specter of a repeat of past "gas wars", when
Ukraine's gas was cut off with a knock-on effect on supplies to EU
states.
And
The US quickly got involved...
Washington
backed Kiev's assessment that Moscow was responsible. "Worrisome
violence in ... Ukraine today. Russia again seems to be behind it,"
State
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Twitter.
And
of course, here is the YouTube proof that Washington needed...
