Title: First soldier killed in Ukraine
Post by: Nudga on March 18, 2014, 05:31:56 pm
Just been reported that a Ukrainian soldier has been killed in Crimea by "unknown forces". Is this the first bullet that starts a full on war? What now for Ukraine and The West?

It's a mess Nudga but could have been averted if there had been a stronger reaction and instant proper sanctions when it first kicked off 3 weeks ago. Effectively they have now frozen accounts for Russians/Ukrainians who had long ago shifted assets.
How to get those Ukrainian soldiers (20,000) of them out of their camps with their equipment is the problem . Will they be given orders to move out one wonders ? How will supplies get in  ? Will they change sides with bribes etc ? Will the Russians/Russian backed militia just carry on making it awkward for them and the worst scenario for me would be Ukrainian soldiers retaliating and I'm sure that xcould happen soon . How they have shown such patience is beyond me.
Basically the international community has no stomach for this fight and showed that from the start.
