Are Russia planning to intervene?
Events in Ukraine is developing fast. President Yanukovych have appeared, former Prime Julija Tymoshenko has been released and the opposition and protesters have taken control of Kiev. Joy spreads, but it is too naive to think that Yanukovych and the Russians have abandoned Ukraine
Up to 100 people lost their lives this week in fighting between the Ukrainian president's police forces and demonstrators in Kiev's Independence Square. Now, a few days later, it seems that President Viktor Yanukovych is sidelined. His opponent, former Prime Minister Julija Tymoshenko has been released, and the demonstrators and the opposition has taken control de of Kiev. It was unthinkable just a few days ago, but it's not too early to let the joy euphoria spread in Kiev's streets? Has President Viktor Yanukovych and Russians thrown in the towel and let the democratic forces come to Ukraine? Hardly
Protesters and the opposition have during the day taken all government buildings and Viktor Yanukovich's private residence. There have been reports that President Yanukovych had left the country, but the news was, however, far from being true. Unfortunately
Saturday afternoon he appeared on a television station in eastern Ukraine and announced that he does not intend to resign as the country's president. He described the situation in the country as a coup , and his aggressive appearance suggests that the battle for Ukraine is far from won, and the Ukrainians during the coming months expect an offensive by Yanukovych's side . The president's speech, especially the description of the situation in Ukraine as a coup , should be taken with great seriousness, as they may be an attempt to prepare a Russian invasion of the country. Russians' reaction to recent events in Ukraine has remained relatively sparse, but the Russians have condemned the events in the country. This may indicate that the possibility of a Russian invasion nearly as unrealistic as it first sounds. The timing of the Olympic Games in Sochi ends tomorrow and the Russian population of Crimea Thursday has asked for Russian help is absolutely perfect for a " brotherly help oppressed Russian population " . Recent events in Ukraine and the protesters' initial victory is in fact certainly not something the Russians like. Demonstrators The success can quickly become a threat to both Putin's empire and against other autocratic society plans of the Russian interest, such as Belarus , Azerbaijan, Armenia and Central Asia . Demonstrators The victory can inspire the democratic forces in these countries to rebel and unleash a wave of revolutions in these countries. Therefore, it would certainly sooner or later get a response from the Kremlin. A response whose purpose will be to put a spanner in the Ukrainian wheels.
CURRENT siutation in Kiev and throughout Ukraine must in any case be considered highly vulnerable , and it is important that the new rulers quickly gain control of the country and the military, and especially ensures the eastern and southern Ukraine, where a Russian invasion can be considered. It is also important that the new authorities to handle the various factions that just a few days ago have stood on opposite sides of the barricades and have killed each other . This is true despite the fact that we are currently questioning the Ukrainian Parliament 's legitimacy and powers , as all parliamentary decisions require , according to the Ukrainian Constitution the president's signature. Preliminary reports from Kiev also suggests that among the demonstrators continue to radical groups , who are not satisfied with the opposition agreement with the President. These represent a potential danger that the unrest could flare up again . It is therefore important that the demonstrators and the new Ukrainian politicians can quickly eliminate these groupings
