Russia has issued an ultimatum to Ukrainian forces in Crimea to clear out by 5 a.m. Tuesday (10 p.m. Eastern Time) or face a “military storm,” Russia’s state-run news agency Interfax reported.
Dave Cottrell’s insight:
It’s pretty clear that Russia fully intends to reclaim their pre-Kruschnev territory of Crimea. The questions are: Will they stop there? Will the Ukraine Armed Force surrender without a fight? Will the West stay out of this fight? Will this prevent another blood bath of ethnic cleansing against ethnic Russians in the Crimea by the new administration in Kyev?
