Russian Fleet Gives Ukrainian Crimea Forces Ultimatum To Surrender Or "Face Storm", Ukraine Defense Minister Quoted

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just out from Reuters:

  • INTERFAX UKRAINIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY AS SAYING  RUSSIAN FLEET HAS GIVEN UKRAINIAN FORCES IN CRIMEA UNTIL 0300  GMT TOSURRENDER OR FACE STORM

More from Reuters:

Russia's Black Sea Fleet has told Ukrainian forces in Crimea to surrender by 5 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Tuesday or face a military assault, Interfax news agency quoted a source in the Ukrainian Defence Ministry as saying.

 

The ultimatum, Interfax said, was issued by Alexander Vitko, the fleet's commander.

 

The ministry did not immediately confirm the report and there was no immediate comment by the Black Sea Fleet, which has a base in Crimea, where Russian forces are in control.

 

"If they do not surrender before 5 a.m. tomorrow, a real assault will be started against units and divisions of the armed forces across Crimea," the agency quoted the ministry source as saying.

And the response from the Ukraine:

  • Head of Russian Black Sea Fleet demanded Ukrianian ship give up weapons and surrender, Oleksiy Kirchkov, deputy commander of Ukraine Navy vessel Ternopil, tells Ukraine’s Channel 5 by phone.
  • Russia set 5 a.m. deadline for 2 Ukraine ships near Sevastopol to capitulate: Channel 5
  • Ukraine ships “declined to meet the ultimatum, will stay till the very end”

It appears Putin is still unaware of the "costs" he is facing.

Meanwhile:

Interpreter notes that Ukraine’s first president, Leonid Kravchuk, who served between 1991 and 1994, wrote in the Russian publication Snob.ru today that this crisis could spark World War III:

“I call on the Russian authorities to stop. Between our peoples should not be war. Does Russia not understand that this is the beginning of World War III?” he warned.

 

He vowed to defend the land of his forefathers despite his age.

 

“My great-grandfather and grandfather fought in World War I, along with Russia. I am 80 years old, but I’ll take a gun and I will defend their land. Every citizen will defend their territory as their home.

 

“We knelt and Russia sat us down. Czechoslovakia, Poland, Afghanistan, Hungary. Now Ukraine is on the line?” he continued.

If the Russian troops try to take these bases, and the soldiers inside resist, is it possible that Kravchuk’s warning could come true?

1). Nazi’s seize power in Ukraine outside of democratic process.

2). Russia retakes large strategic areas of Ukraine, including airports, bridges and military bases, without firing a single shot.

 

Compare and contrast to

 

1). Unarmed woman driving in DC with her child in the back seat, “attempts to ram White House barrier” before fleeing.

2). Pursued and gunned down

AP   Ukraine says Russia issues ultimatum for surrender of 2 Ukrainian warships in Crimea

Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Maksim Prauta said four Russian navy ships were blocking Ukraine's anti-submarine warship Ternopil and the command ship Slavutych in Sevastopol's harbor.

He said the Russians ordered the crew to surrender within the hour or face Russians storming and seizing the ships and crew

As I said last Friday (4491084) and yesterday (4498774), Truth was the first casualty.  Not sure I believe anything the Kiev's Freiheit Chickens (KFC) say.

If I were the Russians, I'd just shut off their utilities (water, sewer, electricity, Gazprom gas, landlines, cell towers), and invite them to make themselves comfortable and stay as long as they like -- as I already suggested (front-ran) yesterday: 4498743.  Works like a charm, as history has shown, and takes the wind out of the US propaganda machine, since they love/need blood & guts to spin their Disney fables.

If I were the Ukranians leader I would order my forces to start blowing up pipelines, NOW. and tell the Russians that they have got until 300 GMT to leave their country...if they want any pipelines remaining.

 

Then I would heavily excise a "Transport Tax" for ANY GAS that travels through the remaining pipelines headed toward Europe. They can tell both the European Union and Russia to go fuck themselves and have true independence shored up by needed revenues to regain solvency.

 

Damn I wish that the NSA and CIA were reading this...and relayed it to the Ukranian leadership.

Agree that the big boy shit may at least be starting.  I still don't expect any large scale military encounters, and certainly no WW3.  If the US continues to escalate, though, then PCR might prove to be right. 

At some point, when the "leadership" of any nation puts us on the brink of nuclear holocaust, what are the actual human rights of people who just want to live, and continue doing so, rather than be incinerated because some sociopath calls himself a "political leader" and wants to have his way, be remembered as a "strong leader"?  Lincoln, for example, IMO killed hundreds of thousands so that he wouldn't be remembered as the man whose election to the presidency caused the breakup of the US.  What actions can we actually take when the political system is completely co-opted by big money?  Representative government is a farce.

Watching the American MSM propaganda organs blathering today is just amazing.  Even CNN and MSNBC have suddenly found a use for right-wing Republican Congressmen, urging strong actions against Putin, he's a dictator, it's the Soviet Union all over again, blah blah blah.  No mention of US role in overthrowing Ukrainian government.  No mention of right wing takeover after Yanukovich departed.  To watch American media, this is all Putin's fault and he should back down.

That is all true, yet I grow more and more irritated and disgusted with each passing day by all the implicit, not to mention the increasingly explicit, support and praise in this forum for the authoritarian and revanchist Putin and his puppet Russian 'leadership'.  I see many if not most ZeroHedgers blindly falling into the same false and suicidal "vote for the lesser of two evils" kind of thinking here regarding this Ukrainian situation as they so rightly condemn in "red team/blue team" US politics, and can't help but laugh and shake my head at the irony of it. 

BOTH the EU/NATO and the Putin/Russian sides here are equally evil, and equally at fault.  Where are the voices supporing REAL Ukrainian autonomy, and freedom from BOTH Evil Empires?  It seems that there are virtually none, here or elsewhere.  As much as I hate the EU and the USA-led NATO, I'll be damned if I would therefore throw my support to Czar Vladimir instead.

I think the obstacle to that approach is installing an actual unity government to unite the Ukrainians. What they have right now is an absolute farce that lacks both legitimacy and popular mandate and has in fact gone out of its way to sew the seeds of division, so I think with the current tensions that civil war would be more probable than uniting against outsiders.

It isn't so much about equal rights as equal benefits. They want the benefits of military advancement and pensions, and understandably so. Probably didn't foresee the possibility of being drafted and put on front lines. Some women will fail to make the cut, just as some men do, just higher % in all likelihood.

If it comes to that (draft), shit will get interesting.

Their Bail-In nightmare began nearly a year ago now.....

And, the nightmare continues: http://blogs.wsj.com/brussels/2014/02/28/cyprus-one-year-after-bank-bail...

The “bail-in” of depositors and senior bond holders in Cyprus was a first for the euro zone, but it’s unlikely to be the last. A new bank-restructuring law adopted in December and set to come into force in 2016 makes such burden sharing the rule, rather than the exception.

Now this was in the works for awhile.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/there-are-no-neo-nazis-in-the-ukraine-and-t...

Here is everyone's favorite addled brained NeoCon McCain and "fuck the EU" Nuland hangin with the sieg heiling fearless leader of the Neo Nazi Svoboda party who is running the interm government in Ukraine right now. With photographic evidence.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/there-are-no-neo-nazis-in-the-ukraine-and-t...

Apparently Neo-Nazis were a bit too much for even Merkel and her cronies who were also plotting with the US to overthrow Ukrainian government using the State Department Visigoth mercenaries to train the Neo Nazi brownshirts over there in how to burn things with Moltov cocktails.

http://peoplesworld.org/germany-scandal-pornography-and-naked-truths/

Aside from expansion into Afghanistan and Africa, it was difficult to forget that manned German Patriot missiles, like those of the U.S., stand oiled and ready on the Turkish border to Syria. Or to forget that in the terrible turmoil in Ukrainian Kiev, German politicians have played a key role. Despite the slightly obscene jab at the European Union by assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, who was angered by European trespassing on presumed U.S. turf, that tough, tall boxer-hero of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, was built up and supported all the way by the Adenauer-Stiftung in Germany, an adjunct of  Merkel's party. She just welcomed him in Berlin for photo-ops and strategy talk - along with an ally from Kiev's city square. The third ally was evidently not invited, perhaps for being so blatantly anti-Semitic, with his Svoboda Party too close to its pro-Hitler antecedents. Maybe it was his gang which started up the most recent bloody renewal of hostilities. 

Now you know what that fuck the EU tiff was about. The Germans wanted punch drunk and his party to run things and now you know what Nuttyyahoo was referring to making shadow Hitler mustaches of herr Merkel there. The joooooos aren't happy about this either.

If you had a covert Muslim operative running the White House and State Department and wanted to purposely undermine the US on the world stage and threaten it's national security interests through incompetence you back Neo Nazi's in a messy government takeover to alienate the US from it's 2 key allies Germany (EU/Europe) and Israel aka the jooos in the Middle East in the 2 key regions concerning their hedgemony interests aka USD/Gas/Oil to undermine it's very interests while claiming to protect them through purposeful incompetence. It is inverted Marxism strategy in play here. The real enemy is within not outside and it is attacking in that manner here.

Is everyone really that fucking stupid and can't see what is going on here..... Russia doesn't want the EU dissolved or at war they just want to sell gas and oil the US especially the covert Muslim there wants Jihad and is stealthly through purposeful incompetence playing everyone off each other like a bunch of suckers while undermining the US on the world stage at the same time.

Yes, definitely planned by Fuck the EU. It is hard for people to accept that the leaders of a government would support who everyone collectively agrees is the worst, but if these people are just pawns what does it say about who is really the worst? USNATO supporting alCIAda says plenty, so there can be no doubt they'd support neo-nazis.

Again, this goes back to the Spanish Civil War which is the blueprint for Syria/Ukraine I think. The modern deep states will support anything when it comes to defeating an autonomous organisation of people, whether it's bolsheviks or fascists it's no matter. Self-preservation of banker thieving is all that matters.

This has the Muslim Community Bathhouse Barry and the evil witch of the North Jarret's antagonizing fingerprints all over this. Play the Germans and jooos off against each other over a sensitive issue aka Nazism and the emotional raw wound and pain it invokes aka the holocaust. This is textbook divide and conquer Alinsky tactics at work here. Not only that they are playing the cold war card using the same tactic to suck everyone into a fight that without thinking first..... Am I the only semi lucid person left that sees this?

If the EU and NATO has half a fucking brain and hasn't gone insane they won't get sucked into entangling alliance trap the Muslim in Chief waging jihad in the US is setting to play allies off each other using Russia as the excuse after manufacturing the problem in Ukraine. They will let Putin clean up the mess he made and stay out of it and deal with the problems at the negotiating tables.

The Germans may have wanted a regime change but does anyone think they are really that fucking stupid to want Neo-Nazi's running the place.

Who threw the first punch in Ukraine? Who footed the bill and who did they pay to stir the shitpot to put them in power? Last time I checked it wasn't the Russians and the organized methods used to force the change clearly had 'force multiplier' training all over it. The only question is was it the US military or mercenary groups like greystone limited comprised of former entities trained in 'force multiplier' tactics stirring up the shit pot. Follow the money, it will tell the tail whether this was a stealth jihad operation by the WH and State Department or legit 'national security' operations.
