There is no doubt Yanukovych will be escorted back to his mansion and Russia will stand guard to prevent his arrest. As soon as his arrest, as currently declared by the Ukraine legislature through a legitimate vote, is stopped by Russia, the Ukraine will be permanently occupied by Russia. The West needs to decide where it stands with all this and now the USA has a missile ship in Cuba. Russia is not playing games.
What follows in the Ukraine will be more and more imposition of the Russian military as if Yanukovych were their dictator including executive orders to round up and arrest all the current leaders.Russia expects no opposition from the Ukraine military and if there is it will kill people until 'the rebellion' is suppressed.
It is Iraq all over again. The West had their chance before Yanukovych took over and put Tymoshenko in prison. The West turned their back on them when it could have turned the Ukraine economy around. Now, there is conflict and the people of the Ukraine still don't have their problems solved. Prepare for refugees.
Russian actions and continued aggression has only accomplished one thing, The West is now well invested to this growing global problem.
...The State Duma (click here) also said that currently it is impossible to conduct legitimate and democratic elections in Ukraine due to actions of “radical forces.”
The Upper Chamber of the Russian Parliament admitted a limited number of Russian troops could be brought to Crimea to ensure safety, speaker Valentina Matvienko said.
“It’s possible in this situation, complying with a request by the Crimean government, even to bring a limited contingent of our troops to ensure the safety of the Back Sea Fleet and the Russian citizens living on the Crimea territory. The decision is for the president, the chief military commander, to make of course. But today, taking the situation into account, even that variant can’t be excluded. We need to protect the people,” Matvienko said.
In their turn, Ukraine’s self-proclaimed authorities urged Moscow to “withdraw troops and comply with bilateral agreements” and “resolve the crisis peacefully and politically,” interim President Arseny Yatsenyuk said.
This comes despite Russia’s repeated statements that all military operations in the region fall within in the framework of the agreement that concerns the Russian naval base in the Black Sea.
Although Western politicians and the media have expressed concern over Russia’s alleged involvement in Crimea, they have not been able to produce any solid evidence. A US State Department spokeswoman told a press conference they have no confirmation of “intervention” in Crimea.
So far, Moscow and the Crimean authorities have agreed to guard objects belonging to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, whose main base is located in Sevastopol, according to RIA Novosti.
Crimeans began protesting after the new self-proclaimed government in Kiev introduced a law abolishing the use of other languages in official circumstances in Ukraine. More than half the Crimean population are Russian and use only this language for their communication. The residents have announced they are going to hold a referendum on March 30 to determine the fate of the Ukrainian autonomous region.
