Russia Awakes: Accuses Ukraine's New Government Of "Armed Mutiny", Says It Poses "Real Threat To Our Interests, Citizens"
The Olympics are now over, which means that Russia can finally start taking steps toward making good on its warning from last week, spoken by a senior government official to the FT, that "If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war," adding that "they will lose Crimea first [because] we will go in and protect [it], just as we did in Georgia." And while there have been photos (so far unconfirmed) of Russian military vehicles heading into the Ukraine, for the time being Russia has kept a surprisingly low profile. Until now.

- MEDVEDEV SAYS RUSSIAN INTERESTS UNDER THREAT IN UKRAINE: RIA
- MEDVEDEV QUESTIONS LEGITIMACY OF UKRAINE'S INSTITUTIONS: IFX
- MEDVEDEV HAS NO INFORMATION IF AZAROV IS IN RUSSIA: RIA
Reuters adds:
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Monday said Russia had grave doubts about the legitimacy of those in power in Ukraine following President Viktor Yanukovich's ouster, saying their recognition by some states was an "aberration".
"We do not understand what is going on there. There is a real threat to our interests and to the lives of our citizens," Medvedev was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying.
"There are big doubts about the legitimacy of a whole series of organs of power that are now functioning there."
Finally, from the AP:
Dmitry Medvedev said Monday, according to Russian news agencies, that the new authorities have come to power as a result of "armed mutiny," so their legitimacy is causing "big doubts."
He said Russia would be ready to resume relations with Ukraine once it sees a "normal, modern government based on laws and constitution of Ukraine."
"If you consider Kalashnikov-toting people in black masks who are roaming Kiev to be the government, then it will be hard for us to work with that government," he said.
Medvedev added that Russia's decision to recall its ambassador in Kiev for consultations meant that "there is a threat for our interests, and for life and health of our people in the embassy."
All this is happening as (insolvent) Europe is scrambling to obtain the tens of billions it needs to make good on a topping overbid for the Ukraine, something which Russia appears to be largely laughing about, and certainly something which Gazprom, which incidentally holds the fate of all of Europe, and not just Ukraine, in its hands. Literally.
As we have said since the Ukraine coup became official: keep an eye on the Russian response. Right now it is all that matters.

KERRY IS A BOUGHT AND PAID FOR ZIONIST WHO COMMITS TREASON AGAINST THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HE SERVES
KERRY IS A "ZIONIST JEW" WHO ONLY FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS IN FACT A "ZIONIST JEW" 10 YEARS AGO!
If you're a US citizen in the Ukraine right now........you're a fucking dumbass. They'll probably try to relocate to Iran. LOL.
The United States has 283,193 troops deployed in 150 countries, plus ships at sea. It is warning Russia not to get involved in the Ukraine. That is so rich.
Eastern Ukraine and Crimea don't want to be part of the new tyranny in the west, are breaking off, and will be asking for Russian protection.
Eastern Ukraine rises against Kiev LIVE UPDATESSo we can expect the US state department to begin talking about the importance of territorial integrity, and the idea that the people of the eastern ukraine must submit to what NATO and the IMF want....
The split could be a relatively peaceful affair a la Czechoslovakia, and it won't be Putin fucking that up, it will be NATO.
JCB
Just imagine what it must be like being U.S. "Delta Force" inside Kiev getting caught!
Think enemy non-combatant status will apply to this fuck head?! With everything else we've done in the Middle East who in their right mind would sign up for a job like this? He has to be 51 cards short of a deck!
I swear to God He's got what's is coming to him and so do the rest of us as this thing escalates and we continue to do nothing.
doG has nothing to do with this shit.
Almost:
Really?
So who is he and what's he doing there?
-30-
He is Ukranian and he is protesting.
Delta prolly wouldnt be inserted in that sit, but I take your meaning. The guy in the video was definitely...definitely not SOG. That's fuckin' absurd.
Chances are he's a Ukrainian cop. Never heard of the IPA before.
"Its purpose is to create bonds of friendship and to promote international co-operation."
It looks like their 'world congress' was in Israel a couple years ago. Who knows, brother, but could be the guy had that and put it in his pocket on the theory he'd get off easier if the cops grabbed him. Kind of like having a PAL sticker on your car.
Probably just an excuse to get together and get drunk. Cops are a brotherhood and all that.
"No! No! No! No! You can't do that!!!!!! Obama"
In the end we're all gona get fkd by a bunch of greedy fuckwads. It's hard to try and build a solid life when these clowns are fucking over everything you've worked for every minute of the day in some way or the other.
LURCH GOT THIS
off topic but..
Here's An Updated Tally Of All The People Who Have Ever Died From A Marijuana OverdoseI maintain that a massive airdrop of weed on Kiev would be a fantastic move right about now.
Oh, and also bombing Brussels Dresden style.
The entire world could use a big piece of spacecake.
Besides Brussels, it would be a good thing is someone let a couple hundred bulldozers in The City early during office hours. Then the place can be rebuilt into a second Christiania.
This would be considered by the USG as chemical warfare...
Do you count all the mayhem that Obama has caused while high as a kite?
It's one thing to toke guffaw in your mom's basement:
"Hey, I KNOW! Let's force everyone to BUY insurance and crash the economy!..."
hahahha.
Harmless at 2am on a Saturday Night/Sunday Morning in a Columbia dorm room.
Deadly if you have a Toker in Chief.
Obama has single-handedly proven that stoners are NOT harmless...
Huh?
Its ok, Obama's got this. He sent John Kerry over and John Kerry put up "No Russian Military Zone" signs along the border. All is well again; signs fix everything.
If their Russian spelling hasn't improved the signs may read 'Russian army welcome', but really 'what does it matter now!'.
I fight bears ...
USA, Russia and GBP signed an aggreement with guarantee for Ukraine (their independence, and borders confirmation) in exchange of Ukrainian nuclear weapon given to Russia. Most of you are forgetting this fact.
The other thing - Russian have right at this point - if some of the people don't want to be part of Ukraine anymore why to force them to listen facists from the West Ukraine? Nazi guys were never blamed for the things they do.
No common language for this people, no common identity, no common history. So why to keep them together? Split.
The problem: west wants east industry, east wants to Russia.
Russia let Eastern European countries (e. g. East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc) and former Soviet republics (e. g. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc) to gain independence peacefully in exchange for the West's guarantees that NATO will not be expanded eastwards. What happened soon thereafter? You seem to be forgetting this fact.
John Kerry will flash those big bushy eyebrows and fake smile and make everything better. Personally id like to see Putin take a blow torch to his facial features and set them on fire.
His name was John Kohn.
Kohn is a short for Cohen.
yeah, well, his face is long for a face.
You just blew my mind. Thanks(?)
Like I told ya several days ago : Sunday evening Putin sips champagne and enjoys the success of his O. Games.
Monday morning : Vlad's back to work, he's going to kick some asses!
good time for Syria to heat back up, I'd guess
The leaders of the world truly are the common enemy of the people of the world.
And the US/Israel/Britain/France/NATO/WB/IMF/BIS axis is the fucking Borg in this situation.
Private central banking, fiat, frac reserve
Oil, gas, pipelines
Weapons manufacturers and international zionism and its sayanim and bought pols.
lovingly topped with chicken hawk think tanks, most of them globalist and/or primarily zio.
There is no end in sight w/o an American Spring.
May 16th.
The Rednecks are Planning their "American Spring"
https://www.google.com/search?q=operation+american+spring
The big boys have long term plans and wheels within wheels. What has just happened was set up years ago when Russia was awarded the Winter Olympics. Let us not forget that action in Georgia occurred while the Olympics distracted the world. This time the West presented Moscow with a fait accompli during a period when the latter dared not roll tanks. The question now is whether Russia will swallow hard and live with it. The answer may turn on what happens in Syria. Arabians are keen to get their NatGas pipeline through there, and if they do Russia can no longer use GazProm as a lever against Ukraine and Europe. They will still be a player, but no longer a hegemon. But if they fight, they face international pressure and the suspicions of their neighbors. The situation is still in flux, and likely will be for some time to come.
And this post was offensive in what manner?
You didnT speak in favor of Mother Russia nor our Hero Putin.
On ZeroHedge, either you are a big fan of Putin, or you get red arrows.
Me, browsing not logged-in: "ooh, this post must have like 50 down arrows". I logged in and now I am disappointed...
Russki-kiss-ass, you missed this post, or was it too new?
Yup, I too noticed there are lots of shills here posting day&night about almighty russia and kissing putin's ass. What they don't know is their posts don't change much but it does make it obvious who's paying them. User flakmeister came to the same conclusion somewhere on these comments, too.
All these russki-lovers should be sent to Russia to experience living there, not as oligarchs do, but as ordinary people. Make them face all the hardships of living in Russia for a couple of years and they'll feel like in heaven after returning in the EU or US.
Waging war and kissing Putin's ass is easy to do while sipping your coke on a couch somewhere in EU or US.
Hey 'flacorps'
Er... You left out the part about the 120,000 Syrians who have been exterminated over the last 3 years using proxies that torture, rape, cut off heads and eat body parts of Syrian Sunni, Shia and Eastern Orthodox Christians in a "fear campaign" funded by the U.S. Saudi Arabia and the U.K.
Who started all of this???... Just askin if you were aware.
I also don't see anyone mentioning the hit squad that murdered 37 Russians in Vladivostok prior to the Olympics from the same "yours truly A Team" that brought that same mayhem to Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan!
Let us know when an international criminal court convenes to investigate the facts so the world or what's left of it becomes a safer place.
It is difficult to disagree with Russia's Medvedev.
I too have very serious concerns about "who" has taken control of Ukraine.
I too have serious concerns about the role played by the US, EU & UK in bringing the country down.
I too have serious concerns about the EU promising money it doesn't have to essentially buy favour.
And I too have serious concerns about the British Chancellor Osborne - apparently with nobody's concurrence - calling for other countries to "open up their wallets for Ukraine". Of course he means "our" wallets, not his own:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2566305/We-open-chequebook-rebui...
Yet another giant geo-political mess has been created by western political elites - this one in the Ukraine - without one word of consultation with their people. It could very easily get out of control.
Where was all your "concern" when Viktor Yanukovych started dismantling the democratic checks and balances on his power...where was your voice when he renigged on his campaign promise to support European integration?
Where was all that big hearted "CONCERN" when he started enriching himself from the public coffers and turned personal family members into BILLIONAIRES overnight?
That "concern" of yours...How many peices of silver did you get for it?
Please get this:
I have no more time for Yanukovych than the others because all politicians are slimeballs. But that was not my point of concern.
I don't know at this point whether Ukraine has jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Time will tell. Sooner rather than later methinks.
But you know, Egypt did exactly that and Libya too. I have little doubt that this is often what happens in any country that overthrows its incumbent government. It would happen in the US, UK if we overthrow the criminals running our governments. And when you drill down into the MO of those who often drive revolutions, they simply want "their" version of big authoritarian government in place of the one they overthrow.
Please see my comments as a warning that any revolution needs to be carefully planned with the intention of installing free, democratic, small governments, not a new bunch of despots.
In this regard, the jury's out on Ukraine.
Nicely put. I withdraw the "silver" jab.
But my point stands that concern can't just arise after the despot gets the boot. It should be there during the documented tyranny -much more- than during the uncertain transition. But yes, things uncertain and are a concern.
Good luck to the Ukrainians.
yaaaa...did the police sniping folks from roof tops arouse your "concern" too?
Yes it did. But plse see my other reply to you.
mossad jew soros rothschild sniper teams...
fixed it for you.
novictim
you dont know shit dude...maidan nazis started shooting first fuckehad
Blocked in Syria. They take their staged proxy war that may elevate to a hot war to the Ukraine.
People should realize that there are no real "sides", just the fabricated dialectics and "just say no" to those who want to control us through fear.
Yeah yeah... just like the American Civil War was about "preserving the union" and "ending slavery"... when it was really about banksters, big business, and turning everyone into wage slaves.
Russia is the last country on earth the US should fuck with.
Yes, their conventional miltary isn't what it used to be (but it still would be insanely tough to defeat) however, they still have NUKES. A shitload of ICBM NUKES.
Unlike Iran and North Korea, Russia could annihilate the US, and there's absolutely nothing the US military could do about it.
Leave them fucking Russkies and their vassal state of Ukraine the fuck alone.
It ain't worth it.
there's no danger of that.
there's some danger of weapons going in, but I'd tend to expect the East will break away, invite the Russians in, and only a relatively little violence. Eastern Ukraine used to be Russia proper anyway.
The question is, what fuckery will the US/NATO engage in to prevent the split of the country? They ought to just let it happen.
But the East/South/Crimea is likely what the real hawks want - but they are batshit insane if they think they'll get it.
Ivan will ready nukes over Crimea. No doubt about that.
Frankly, from the headlines, you'd think it was the Russians who were meddling. They've meddled surpringly little.
Its the fucking EU and Americans that have injected themselves where they absolutely have no right to be. Most of the ethnic Ukrainians probably don't want EU domination either... what will be interesting to see is the way the puppet regime in Kiev treats the protesters it is going to get against concessions to the EU/IMF etc.
Hypocrisy won't stop the western press, and fuckwits like Cunt of Treason from claiming the new, post east/west split protesters to be terrorists, or fascists or whatever {and helpfully, a minority of them will in face be far right nazi cunts - making it easier to paint all of them as some sinister force.
Fucking politicians and bankers. Always fuckin' shit up worse than it needs to be, for no damn good damn reason.
They can't leave them alone, their masters have written it into their script and the puppets are puppets because they follow the script as written. Of course, our soldiers of fortune have that espirit de corp mercenaries are famous for, and that should be comforting to the sleepy Americans. The puppet show is nearly over, just row over and go back to dreamtime. Your bed awaits you. Perhaps the Russians can help us remember what a real war is like? It's been so long, so very, very long. Isn't that way the propaganda channels keep returning to 'the greatest generation'? Dust it off and see what happens. It's a good year to die, right? Good thing we have so much to die for, that should give us comfort in the cold nights to come... after the fires af course. How many pages left in this script? Not many it seems.
"If you consider Kalashnikov-toting people in black masks who are roaming Kiev to be the government, then it will be hard for us to work with that government," he said.
The Ukraine parliament is not toting AK-47's, nor are they wearing black masks.
Don't despair. The US is about as likely to intervene with military force as the Obama administration is to admit to error.
"He said Russia would be ready to resume relations with Ukraine once it sees a "normal, modern government based on laws and constitution of Ukraine."
Yanukovich didn't have a normal, modern government, which is why the Ukranian people threw him out. Russia should be thankful.
To Russia a nepotistic Kleptocracy is "normal".
less normal that it was, anyway. Western Ukraine may have been oppressed before, and I would wish for them the true independence and thriving economy they want, but they are being led into the EU/IMF/WB rape van.

So Putin rolls some tanks in to the friendly part of the Ukraine. What the fuck are we going to do about it anyway? Typical battleship mouth and rowboat ass western bull shit. I think Putin will take the dare.
A new nightmare for Ukraine

"Ukraine not weak! Ukraine strong!"
Ukraine broke.
Ah geopolitics.
Did Putin not see this coming? Was he too busy with the olympics? Or does he sacrifice the west of the Ukraine (and let the EU/IMF and US bail them out) in order to keep the east? The Russians will defend the Crimea, no doubt about it. And the Russians learnt from Afghanistan that you can't fight a nation when the people there hate you so perhaps that is why they let the west of the Ukraine go while they know they have the support of the people living in the east.
The Europeans are playing a dangerous game cause they could end up without any gas coming from Russia. This might then trigger fracking in Europe. Win win for oil and gas companies. As usual.
