To Ostrovsky about his criticism: When Turkey took northern Cyprus in 1974, the US literally chose to ignore the situation and the sanctions imposed on Turkey turned out to be laughable. While just 18% of the population were Turkish Cypriots, the US government had also largely supported the Greek military dictatorship that supposedly provoked Turkey to start the war. The US government did so to 'protect' Greece from the rise of communism back then... Food for thought for you and everyone else who keeps saying that the US government stands for 'justice' and 'democracy'; too much hypocrisy...

You can’t bring those two examples together cause they have way too many differences. The biggest one that in Kosovo 90% of population was Albanians when at the same time in Crimea it was only 60% of Russians. And that number is that big only because Russia had military formations in Crimea. Second thing that Kosovo actually got independence and it remain that independence until our days. They didn’t join Albania although they really wanted to. There was no war or homicide between Ukraine and Crimea and even in terms of Kosovo it was a whole year of conflict before NATO decided to involve themself in a conflict . Also it’s 20 yers gap between those two examples and the world has been changed since that time. So there’s no hypocrisy it’s just different situations. By the way Ukraine do not recognize Kosovo.

MrWizardofozzz First off the whole of Ukraine does not want to be Russian, i mean you seriously can't believe that... And just because eastern Ukraine is largely pro Russian doesn't legitimise anything! In almost every country there is a population in a region that is largely in favour of another country. Theres parts of switzerland that want to join Germany, parts of Brazil that want to join Argentina, theres even parts of England that want to be part of Pakistan! What Argentina, Germany and pakistan cannot do is send there troops into that region, host a referendum just within that region that many people boycott and the government of the country declare invalid. Ukraine is in a political mess, it doesn't have a properly functional government or leader and Russia exploited this key moment to grab land, its pretty obvious whats going on here. Yes it is ex soviet land with largely pro-Russian population. But that doesn't legitimise whats going on. You seem to believe the moral crusade nonsense that russia is spouting that there going into crimea and eastern ukraine to "protect there people". Russia has it's agenda like any other country and is expanding it's territory for its own imperialistic reasons!! Russia like the USA is an imperialistic country that craves more power. I disagree with aggressive imperialism because all it does is sow the seeds for later conflicts.

This man is the bravest and most honest journalist I've ever seen. Because he always show us the actual ground realities without taking any sides.that's why I only watch and believe his reporting.keep safe out there brother.👍🏼👌🏼🤘💪👏👏👏👏

The last part says it all: "Since this is a Tartar majority area, the results of the referendum is questionable. Hey, what country is this in?", as asked by Simon. "Russia!!", responded by the Tartars. - Quoted So, even the Tartars supports the referendum. And the number of defectors are clearly showing signs that the Ukrainian government is failing them at all fronts. If you people still QUESTION the legitimacy of the referendum, go to Crimea yourself and ask the local population. I've been there personally and the mood is extremely joyous among the people.

I don't think the Tatars would be out partying after 99% of them boycotted the referendum or weren't allowed to vote. Most Muslims don't drink, either. Those people were probably ethnic Russians.

redjujufish Please provide proof of evidence that those were not Tartars. 85% turnout rate is very high when there's only 65%+ ethnic Russian speakers, that means that around 20% of Tartars or Ukrainians has been voting in favor of Russia integration. I've expected that people like you who are mostly Americans will not submit to the fact that people there are overwhelmingly in favor of Russia, so as I've mentioned earlier, go there yourself and have a look. The best way to evaluate a situation is by going there yourself. You can continue to argue with me with you biased and empty opinions but that will never ever change the fact on the ground.

Simon is from Russia but has been exposed to the English language and reporting and journalism for so long that his native Russian accent has faded when speaking in English but it comes back when speaking his native language Russian.

What I really love about this whole story is how hard and sleazily the West sweated to grab the Ukraine--billions of US$, training neo-Nazi storm-troopers, killing several hundred men, destroying half of Kiev, lying through its teeth, unmasking in front of the entire world the hypocritical and hateful nature of Western elites--and how in return, Putin gracefully, in one elegant move has returned the Crimea without a single shot! What a spectacular show of statesmanship! Go, Vladimir Vladimirovich, go! And let them bark at Russia's Ship!

Your confusing "the West" and Ukrainian protesters. Given Russia had to invade to hold onto small parts of a country that has been it's historical closest ally, is growing slowly for a developed economy, much less an undeveloped one (which it is), is the eleventh biggest economy in the world and falling rapidly, it's population is falling rapidly and it's contribution to scientific output fell to 1% of the worlds last year it is pretty clear that by any measurable fashion it's a dying medium strength power, unable to catch up with the strong and being outstripped by the up and coming. Putin may impress a certain type with his statesmanship but the numbers don't lie in regards to the actual Russian position.

Tomas Keenan He's not confusing anything. All this Ukrainian crisis was US project, states did the same shit they do over and over again : Egypt, Livia, Syria and so on. Putin is just defending his interest. There would be NATO base in Crimea by now with rockets pointed u know where. Thats why Obama is so mad. What we see now is agony of the US, when Russia and China will stop using dollars (they are working on this right now) US economy will collapse. And Obama can't do shit about it...

Tomas Keenan, you're certainly confusing something. The Ukraine has NEVER been Russia's ally in all the 25 years of its existence since 1991. This burlesque political entity is anti-Russian in it's core, anti-Russian nationalism being its state ideology irrelevant of the specific president. The title of the 2nd Ukrainian president's (Kuchma) book - "The Ukraine is not Russia!" - may well serve as the national motto of this pathetic effigy of the state. This was the ony thing that unified otherwise linguisitically, ethnically and historically heterogenous people living in what's now called "the Ukraine".

utubewatchinhesk No, the reason why, is because some NATO countries that boarder Ukraine in lot of ways are closer to USA than with some other EU states, and USA feels the same way! Poland called up an emergency NATO meeting, etc. As we saw in wikileaks documents what germans thought about securing states bordering Russia, than you will understand why there is a distrust between some EU states! And with this step in diplomatic language USA is demonstarting their close relations and interests in region, and it's not only towards this region, as we see there is no position or opposition on this question, there is Russia against all the rest of the world!
