Now back to UKR. If you guys were independent state (which you aren't) you could raise the transit price through your country by 80%. But unfortunately you can't do that, because if you tried your prime minister would become history. If you pulled it off somehow, in few months you would have German tanks on your western border...

-- Ukrainian authorities have dismantled an armed underground group they claim was plotting against the Kiev-based government and planned to launch an attack in a few days, that nation's top security agency announced Saturday.
Fifteen people were detained following a large-scale operation in the eastern city of Luhansk, the Security Service said in a statement. The raid also netted about 300 guns, a grenade launcher as well as numerous grenades, Molotov cocktails and a significant amount of knives, according to the agency.
The Security Service alleges the group was plotting to carry out an attack April 10 in Luhansk. Those detained face charges that include betraying the government and weapons violations.
This announcement came out the same day that U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the "world will respond" to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region, which has heightened tensions not only in Ukraine but around the world.

Thats what you could have rounded about in maidan 

Does the news says who were the guys? Since the extremist movement behind maidan feels betrayed by the new government, it could be Ukrainians that were fighting against Yanukovitch before on the payroll of Russia now maybe?


If there is no details on who they are and for what purpose they wanted to do this, and no photos of the prisoners, it could be anything, even a fake. Or just an additionnal good find to throw to the mob and increase the fear of russian invasion.

The few things I hear on the mainstream media in France is Russia having posted "offensive" weapons (zooming on fixed artillery while saying "offensive", the noobs) along the borders of Crimea-Russian/Ukraine and Russia/Ukraine, that they heavily outgun and terrorize the population and could attack anytime, and that they mined and entrenched themselves to a "dangerous" level.
While of course, the just and right Ukrainians who are posted opposite them are in fear of what the russians may do, and that they think they are up to something! Thus they stand guard, for the sake of world freedom etc etc.

Пришло письмо от некоего Вити:
«Я законный правитель одной восточноевропейской республики. В результате незаконного государственного переворота, фашистская хунта захватила власть. Однако у меня на счету всё равно остаётся более 3 000 000 000 миллиардов долларов, но я не могу их снять, потому что нахожусь в бегах, в безвыходном положении. Поэтому мне нужна ваша помощь… всего 100 долларов — и я готов поделиться с вами половиной причитающейся мне суммы.»

g-translate:
Received a letter from somebody named Victor:
"I am the rightful ruler of one Eastern European country. Fascist junta seized all power as a result of the illegal coup. However, there are still more than 3,000,000,000 billions on my account , but I can not take them off, because I am on the run, in a desperate situation. So I need your help ... just $ 100 - and I'm ready to share with you half the amount owed ​​to me."

When there was a reunion of West and East Germany, Russia assumed the debts of the GDR. If there will be a division of Central and Western Ukraine from the Eastern regions of Ukraine, who will pay for the debts of Ukraine? What are today the debts of Ukraine? In Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv regions, have debts on credits?

[Xant]

What makes you think eastern Ukraine would separate..?

[Paul]

Actually I think a seperate Russia-controlled East Ukraine would be the best solution. Both EU and Russia need a shithole belt (like Belarus) between each other, just like Best Korea between China and Good Korea. We prolly have to give back Estonia too. Sorry.

[Kafein]

No one wants to live in shithole belt though

Thats what you could have rounded about in maidan

Meanwhile in Ukraine...

Protesters have firearms and don't even try to hide them. Now I don't see good way to solve this, there will be bloodshed. Its scale totally depends on Russia's actions now.

Sending in the Ukrainian army to protect the Ukrainian minority in the East Ukraine should be in the interest of Russia, right?
