Ukraine’s interim President Oleksandr Turchinov is demanding the military immediately launch a new round of attacks against protesters in the eastern two provinces of the country.
Turchinov alleged two bodies were found “brutally tortured” near Slovyansk, a protester-held city, and declared the protesters “have now gone too far” and that the “anti-terrorist” operation needed to be escalated.
He insisted the regions had to be brought back under control of the interim government to “protect” Ukrainian citizens in the area. The Defense Ministry gave no indication when attacks would resume.
Slovyansk was the most recent city attacked by Ukraine’s military, though the offensive quickly stalled and many troops refused orders to attack the protesters, choosing to surrender their arms and vehicles instead.
With what? The only thing left for this government to claim is their loyal mercenaries, the Neo fascism and left overs from the old fascism. They all ready have spend the $5 billion dollars given to them by US government/state department, unless Swedish government starts pouring in barrow’d money with 65% interests to Ukrainian self proclaimed government to hire new mercenaries from Saudi Arabia.
I think that everybody is missing the point when looking for someone to assign the blame for the Ukrainian crisis. To me it's obvious that the blame belongs first and foremost to the Ukrainians themselves. I mean in which remote part of the universe do they live not to know what it means when U.S tries to bring "democracy" to some country. How can they not have heard about Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and their experiences with democracy transplants by U.S.? Then again, these are the same people that welcomed the Germans as liberators in 1941 – with flowers. Back then they somehow managed to overlook that Hitler was calling them subhumans (as he considered all Slavs to be), they didn't heard about his plans to exterminate them and make living space for the Germans. Then it was up to the Russians to rescue them from their "liberators". This time again it will be up to the Russians to rescue them from their foolishness, because they have a tendency to overlook clear signs indicating who means well to them and who doesn't. At the end of this ordeal – if the Ukrainians look little bit worse for wear and tear – it's going to be because they are being used.
You made several valid observations concerning current conditions in east Europe, but if you study WW 2 history, you find that in the spring of 1945, practically no one in the Ukraine or anywhere else in east Europe welcomed the Red Army as a liberating force. In fact almost everyone able to do so (especially women and children) fled west in hopes of falling under the protection of Allied forces.
Before WW2 few eastern European countries had large German minorities – Volksdeutche. After the Germans invaded their host countries, some of the Volksdeutche collaborated with the German occupiers. At the war's end, many of the German minorities were fearful of reprisals from the local population as much as from the Red Army, so they moved westward – to Germany where they felt they would be safer. It was one of the largest migration in European history, but they were all German – 12 million in total. There were definitely no Ukrainians moving to Germany, there was hardly any protection that they could expect from Germany.
US Veep Joe Biden came to Kiev to give the orders to renew the war.

Obviously, the Ukrainians want to force Putin to "put his money where his mouth is". Perfect strategy. They have nothing left to lose and any move by Putin will dmaage himself without costing the Ukrainians anything.
Sorry – you are terribly mis-informed: http://ukraineaufstand.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/w…

Those fake "interim government ´" was never elected except by USA state department who financed this violent coup with 5 billions according to Victoria Nuland of the state dept.. They financed military training of brutal NAZI groups in the baltic states. So they could storm the parliament and urge them at gun point to leave. Its a crimial group, Antiwar declares "government" for war mongering in Ukraine.
