really strange goings on... Early morning reports of the Pres. having "run for cover" and the opposition in control of a lot of places. Then reports of the Pres. having appeared on telly saying he was still the Pres. And someone in the (former?) opposition claiming that there will be elections very soon And various reports of various leaders having stepped down/done a runner/released from jail. I can't see Russia taking this lying down, as if there hadn't been enough bloodshed in the last four months :-( Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I found this article to be another example in how corrupt/greedy a person can be and considering the amount of poverty that the Ukraine has I hope that they can catch Viktor Yanukovych and lock him up for a very long time. http://www.news.com.au/world/shocking-opulence-revealed-as-ukraine-leader-flees-home/story-fndir2ev-1226835084785 Cheers. |

In Ukraine about 1/3 Russian-speaking peoples. One of very first decisions of new regime was to cancel law about regional languages. That makes Russian inacceptable language on Ukraine. Go figure. (Just imagine to leave only English in Canada, for example, and attempt to make legal prosecution for speaking French. Very democratic and in line with "base europian and world values", not ? ) SETI apps news We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them. |

Unrest in the Ukraine ?? At least the Republican view is clear: they want President Obama to fix the situataion, while opposing the U.S. getting involved. It is comparable to their view on Afghanistan, where they are opposed to the U.S. pulling out and also opposed to staying in. (They now have their brightest minds on foreign policy, having pulled them off of climatology.) |

In Ukraine about 1/3 Russian-speaking peoples. Maybe the peoples of Ukraine don't like the idea of people who have in the past invaded their country, and insist on not integrating with the people of Ukraine and learning their language. Which is different from the example you gave of Canada. Where the British defeated the French in Quebec but allowed them to keep their lands and language. |

Invided? The freeing from nazi Germany during World War II called invasion now? The transfer of Crimea is invasion too perhaps? Are you sure you at least know where the land is? SETI apps news We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them. |

Yes we fought a war there in 1853/6 By your Russian logic, we should be living in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. |

The Russians might have freed them from Nazi Germany, but when did the Russians let them go their own way afterwards? |

Just in case some of these old historic complications might also partially affected for this current event that: - Kiev was a Russian capital some few hundred years ago hence so much Ukrainian and Russian languages are entangled as of now; - In 1929 Russia invaded Ukraine and forced them into their communist regime; - During 1933-1939 more than 5 million Ukrainians were exterminated by Russian communist regime. google Holodomor. all these 3 historic events are broadly documented all over on the internet. I spent 1 summer in Kharkov, Ukrain in good old days, it was very beautiful european city at that time. ![]() Mandtugai! |

In Ukraine about 1/3 Russian-speaking peoples. I'd be sorry for the Russians if it wasn't for the fact that they tried to use that law to basically turn Russian as the official Ukrainian language. Also, there is a radically different perception between Russians and the former soviet states as to whether they 'liberated' those lands from the Nazis or whether they formed little more than the next 'invasion' replacing one evil with another. |

Some Russians wrote stupidity! This "law" from 03.07.2012 had abolished because he towered over Article 10 of the Ukrainian Constitution! Our Constitution - does not oppress the Russian language! Quite the contrary... and protects! "Article 10. The State language of Ukraine shall be the Ukrainian language. The State shall ensure comprehensive development and functioning of the Ukrainian language in all spheres of social life throughout the entire territory of Ukraine. Free development, use, and protection of Russian and other languages of national minorities of Ukraine shall be guaranteed in Ukraine. The State shall promote the learning of languages of international communication. The use of languages in Ukraine shall be guaranteed by the Constitution of Ukraine and shall be determined by law." http://www.president.gov.ua/en/content/chapter01.html After that ("law" from 03.07.2012), the Russian-speaking masse began to mock the state Ukrainian language! For example, in Odessa (Ukraine) even the traffic police officers responded to drivers that the Ukrainian language - the "language of the cow"! Thus, the Supreme Council of Ukraine removed extraconstitutional laws... Therefore (and including) the Ukrainian people went to Revolution! |

MOSCOW (AP) - President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered massive exercises involving most of its military units in western Russia amid tensions in Ukraine. Ukraine voluntarily handed over hundreds of nuclear warheads and strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Ukraine Read and we shall see who throws words and promises down the drain...

Those of who are familiar with Wikileaks the Ukrainians created their own Yanukovichleaks.org to reveal massive loots by Yanukovich to the world over thousands pages of his loots documents being released in last few days. Yesterday morning the page count was 794 pages but in 24 hrs it is now 1300 pages. Mandtugai! |

Yes, Orgil, instead of governing the country, he robbed people... His own financial condition (only four years of presidency) - $ 12 billion, said to Anders Aslund http://finance.liga.net/economics/2014/2/26/news/37546.htm But this is not the most important thing... These bandits who defended Yanukovych in Kiev, beheaded captured protesters! Police dragged them to an unknown destination... Tens and hundreds of people were missing!

It's scary how he clung to authority and power exercised! This need to know in Europe, America, Asia, Australia, Africa, around the World! |

Also reminds me another latest woman's word from the State dept of "f--k the EU!" phrase. Ukraine need to sell few bundles of nuclear rods to Iran or Saudi arabia for a few billion dollars to generate quick cash. Mandtugai! |

It's good that they return home... Our soldiers are still there! In Congo, Liberia, Cote Divoire and other locations! Since 1992 more than 37 000 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took part in various peacekeeping operations. From that time 49 Ukrainian peacekeepers lost their lives in missions... http://www.mil.gov.ua/index.php?lang=en&part=peacekeeping&sub=history Currently http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%87%D1%96_%D0%BC%D1%96%D1%81%D1%96%D1%97_%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%97%D0%BD%D0%B8 or http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%85_%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8B |
