Ukraine Acting President Says Russia Has Invaded Ukraine, As 2000 Russian Troops, Military Jets Arrive

Here we go:

  • UKRAINE ACTING PRESIDENT TURCHYNOV STARTS BRIEFING
  • UKRAINE LEADER SAYS RUSSIA STARTS AGGRESSION AGAINST COUNTRY
  • UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE UNDER GUISE OF EXERCISE
  • UKRAINE LEADER SAYS RUSSIA TRYING TO PROVOKE CONFLICT
  • UKRAINE LEADER SAYS RUSSIA SEEKING TO ANNEX CRIMEA
  • UKRAINE'S TURCHYNOV SAYS WILL DEFEND ITS INDEPENDENCE
  • UKRAINE ACTING PRESIDENT ACCUSES RUSSIA OF WORKING ON A SCENARIO LIKE BEFORE WAR WITH GEORGIA

From AFP:

Russia has sent "several hundred" troops into Ukraine's Crimea region, US defense officials said Friday, after Kiev called on Moscow to withdraw its forces from the peninsula.

 

"It looks like they’ve moved several hundred troops there (into Crimea)," a senior defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.

 

The comments marked the first confirmation from President Barack Obama's administration that Russia had launched an incursion into Crimea.

 

The Russians had not given the US government advance notice of the action or explained its intentions since the operation was launched, officials said.

 

But Pentagon officials stressed Washington was focused on diplomacy, and there was no serious consideration being given to any US military action.

 

"It is now in the realm of diplomacy," said a second defense official, who asked not to be named.

 

Officials also said they were not aware of any request from Ukraine for military assistance.

More from Interpretermag.com:

“Under the guise of military exercises, Russia has brought troops into the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. And not only have they seized the parliament of the Crimea, the Council of Ministers of the Crimea, they are trying to take civilian buildings under control, communications, and trying to block places where Ukrainian soldiers are based,” he said in an appeal to the nation.

 

“They are provoking us to military conflict. According to information from our intelligence, they are working out scenarios that are completely analogous to Abkhazia, when after provoking a conflict, they began annexation of territory,” the acting president emphasized.

At the same time, Ukraine Pravda is reporting that Russian military planes are now landing in the Crimea.

Russian airplanes are landing in Crimea from the direction of Russia, and a column of APCs is heading from the east toward Simferopol.

 

 

There are reports of at least 5 large IL-76 planes landing in the district of the military airfield in the town of Gvardeyskoye.

 

Various sources are reporting that a column of 10 Russian APCs is heading from Sevastopol toward Simfereopol.

 

Interfax Ukraine reports that all air traffic is halted at the Belbek Airport in Sevastopol due to the seizure of the landing strip by unknown persons.

“There are about 400 people now in the Belbek airport. They have occpuied the landing strip and any movement of planes is stopped,” said a source.

And another video of the Russian APCs: considering the number of journalists standing by, it is as if they are on parade:

Finally. AFP reports:  

  • 2,000 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS LAND IN CRIMEA IN ARMED INVASION, KIEV OFFICIAL SAYS -- AFP

And more airplanes:

Some are using makeshift barricades and checkpoints to defend themselves: via Kyiv Post:

Is it starting?

Putin has already told the west what he was going to do.  The west agreed, except for some guy from Poland for window dressing.

The west cannot say that Russia should not have their southern port and the west knew and agreed with this.

you're making an assumption that the Ukrainians can't do anything.

Angela Merkel has personally come to the aid of the "Maiden" here.
I'm no expert but it does appear Ms. Tymoshenko (and her Fatherland Party) is a candidate for President wheresas "the handshakers" aren't really in the running.

I would imagine the "oligarch candidates" aren't too happy with how all this is all playing out here either.

Putin is playing the "strong hand"...looks like he means business.
"No easier way to unite the opposition(s)" as they say.

Yes, and I must say yet again: who is genuinely surprised by any of this?

I predict the buildup will continue and Putin will not settle for the oft-put-forward solution of breaking up Ukraine...the buildup will continue in / through Crimea, under cover of "securing the naval base", but will not end there.  The West has been playing this scenario where "it make sense to break up Ukraine", tipping their hand that that is what they truly want.  Putin ain't gonna have any of it.

The MSM message which Russia needs to front-run is:

To ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and improve stability, Russia must protect Ukraine's coastline, as this is where "foreign devils" (CYA and Saudi Mercs) will infiltrate. 

Note that these Mercs can't invade from the East, West or North, so they must come from the South.  Hence the need for a Mexican-style fence along Ukraine's southern border, to keep Illegals and Mercenaries out.  We can only hope that the Russian Border Patrol do a better job than the US Border Patrol.

....buddy years ago in med school had a "histology" text book i believe with a whole section on FFA and felching. Basically training for crazy shit you'll see in the emergency wards. Funny thing was the toilet in the library that same week had a turd in it the size of a 4 year olds entire leg. It was so thick and long when you flushed it simply spun in the bowl. We cried ourselves sick laughing. There's dudes everywhere with completely destroyed pie holes. I'm pretty sure Harbanger laid the turd.....

It's very funny, when the criminal and impostor Turchinov, makes statements on behalf of Ukraine and the all Ukrainian people! It's like as if I kill the head of the family, take his place at the table and will be speak on behalf of all this family with their neighbors and the police! Turchinov - criminal and impostor. He will be arrested and put on trial! Like all his accomplices, each of them in the end, will be is behind bars.

What is that, in the current situation, you meant by the word "Ukraine":

- Illegitimate government rebels impostors, in the face of criminals who seized power in Kiev undemocratic, unconstitutional, by armed force?

- Or regions, that remained faithful to the Constitution and laws, the democratically elected President of Ukraine?

How do you think: Should there be rebels who committed an armed coup in Ukraine, arrested and prosecuted?

It will be interesting to see if the meme goes all Cold War and parallels are trundled out comparing this to the old Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and completing Obama as the captive Carter.

The EU/US/UK really don't want to get involved with Russia - as in, shouldn't if they want to remain in notional ascendancy & hegemon over the planet.

 

The Russians are qualitatively & quantitatively different to anything the the fictional rulers have come up against before - they can fight back, effectively.

Since the 1994 Budapest Memorandum specifically names the parties involved in guaranteeing Ukranian territorial & sovereign integrity, no proxies are involved this time - and if the EU/US/UK managed to conjure one up the Memorandum gives carte blanche in to any party to attack & repel them.

This has been a colossal cock-up by the backers of the Kiev putsch.

Who should be most worried right now ? Japan. This distraction has given China a green light (of sorts) to further its territorial claims in the South China Sea & enforce its air exclusion zone. I expect the Moscow-Bejing axis to have co-ordinated a sequence of events more akin to a Bolshoi ballet than the disjointed dad-dancing of the incompetent EU/US/UK triumvirate.

Watch now as dissident-dissidents in the Kiew obrbit begin to question & confront the tactics & legitimacy of the Right Sector controlled parliament. The counter-revolution is the best tactical outcome for Putin & he knows it.

So what is OOC?

 

Looks like Putin is very much in control. NATO is a toothless ghost of its former self - and the White African-American Moron in the Oval Office just sent the prostitute Hagel out to finish it off.

 

MAD takes nukes off the table - and while Russia has sent every signal imaginable that it is going to do this - NATO hasn't responded in any way. NATO is only good for beating up poor nations who can't defend themselves - the classic bully.

 

As fallout, what do you think China is thinking now? Do you think they have any concern whatsoever about facing down the US in the South CHINESE Sea?

 

If you wondered if you'd ever live long enough to see the end of the American Empire - well - you just now saw it.

It's over.

 

And the final disconnect is that gold and silver are down - manipulated that way by every .001% on Earth frantically converting fiat into money, while at the same time bidding up the S & P to try and hold off the crash that will demand the money to pay off the leverage.

 

Welcome to the End Times.

If you wondered if you'd ever live long enough to see the end of the American Empire - well - you just now saw it.

Actually, IMO it happened incrementally and starting some time ago, but empires always over extend, and they always react to failures by raising the stakes still higher "next time" like it was some kind of blackjack doubling strategy, and they always debase their currencies trying to maintain empire, and their hubris always catches up with them.  So yes.

These are truly historic times, and I hope you young people out there are paying attention because you are getting a history lesson in real time.
