    If I recall correctly they were lining up troops on the actual Ukraine/Russia border, which is north of Crimea but not the actual peninsula, so there's a hint that they want the west of Ukraine, which is mostly supported by pro-Russians.

    Eastern not western Ukraine.

    Good thing not everyone takes their news here at face value. It's the media finding anything to blow it out of proportion, almost on the verge of Russophobia.

    I can tell you this, Ukraine in its current form is completely doomed unless there is federalization. If that doesn't happen, plan B may mean more territorial advanced by Russia or a country in anarchy on the brink of a civil war. As unpleasant as that sounds, it's the only assessment that can be made at present.

    The country is essentially so unbalanced that the western side will never been in sync with the eastern side because it's so different. A centralized form of government will only lead to more overthrows of various governments on loop. A sort of tug-of-war scenario that has been happenining ever since the Orange Revolution.

    Whoops

    It's the problem with all countries that border two distinct cultural zones. Ukraine is stuck between Europe and Russia. Agreed, Federalisation is the only way for them to go simply because the country has two distinct cultures that could never been unified by a central Government - they have different interests which will always conflict.

    Pro-Russian Ukrainians, not just Crimeans There were troops being placed on the border of Ukraine, not Crimea, near Donetsk which is a different region.
