From a Canadian expat in Kyiv: Ukraines security apparatus today - TopicsExpress



          

From a Canadian expat in Kyiv: Ukraines security apparatus today made its first official statements following investigations into the killings on Institutska street February 20th. Previous reports of Russian involvement in the planning and deployment stages are now being circumstancially confirmed as well. Ukraine has waited over 6 weeks for this investigation to produce an initial report. The Russian reaction today is predictably one of fury and denial. However damage control may be impossible as Kyiv is bound to gain additional moral high ground from such disclosures. Should the above disclosures result in more arrests and the actual commencement of prosecutions the damage done to Ukraine-Russia relations may become irreparable. Additional flamboyant talk of Russias actions pushing Ukraine into NATOs embrace only adds fuel to this geo-political cocktail. More ominously these additonal developments could soon serve as an additonal pretext and give greater urgency for Putin to invade mainland Ukraine sooner rather than later. bbc/news/world-europe-26868119 en.interfax.ua/news/general/198984.html en.interfax.ua/news/general/198955.html reuters/article/2014/04/03/us-ukraine-crisis-killings-idUSBREA320QO20140403?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=992637
