<br />
Around 11:00 GMT on Saturday the gas supply to Crimea was halted at one of the distribution centers near Strelkovaya, effectively cutting gas delivery to a number of areas in the eastern part of the Crimean peninsula. As a result a number of hospitals, medical centers, schools and apartment buildings were cut off from the gas supply.<br />
<br />
A group of gas technicians, escorted by the Crimea’s newly created military, comprised of former Ukrainian troops who have sworn their allegiance to the republic, responded to the supply disturbance and set out to check the gas station.<br />
<br />
“There they encountered a group of at least 20 armed men in camouflage,” the Cabinet of Ministers of Crimea announced. “These people were planting explosives at the facility in order to knock it out of action completely.”<br />
<br />
Upon seeing the Crimean forces, they quickly fled towards the village of Strelkovaya, authorities explained. According to Crimean Prime Minister Sergey Aksenov, the men sabotaging the facility introduced themselves as the member of the Border Troops of Ukraine, but retreated without any further explanation of what they were doing at the gas plant.<br />
<br />
The gas supply has been restored, Crimean authorities said, adding that the “distribution station was taken under control by self-defense forces of Crimea in order to halt similar provocations in the near future.</em>”Washington Has Set The World On A Path To War — Paul Craig Robertshttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104618#comment2987782014-03-16T20:52:08+00:00KMWhy is Washington so opposed to Crimean self-determination?

The answer is that one of the main purposes of Washington’s coup in Kiev was to have the new puppet government evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base in Crimea. Washington cannot use the government Washington has installed in Ukraine for that purpose if Crimea is no longer part of Ukraine.<br />
<br />
What Washington has made completely obvious is that “self-determination” is a weapon used by Washington in behalf of its agenda. If self-determination advances Washington’s agenda, Washington is for it. If self-determination does not advance Washington’s agenda, Washington is against it.</em>Crimeans vote to return to Russiahttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104618#comment2987802014-03-17T00:42:44+00:00tally manOver 95 percent of voters in the Crimean referendum have answered ‘yes’ to the a...Over 95 percent of voters in the Crimean referendum have answered ‘yes’ to the autonomous republic joining Russia and less than 4 percent of the vote participants want the region to remain part of Ukraine, according to preliminary results.<br />

This would be unsurprising for two reasons. The Ukraine fears these racists fascists and many of them are Russian speaking and close cultural ties with Russia anyhow.<br />
<br />
At the moment the neo Nazis thugs in power are trying to form their own National Guard or goon squads so that they can go out and intimidate the populate and try and consolidate their power. That will be difficult largely because it's being recruited based on an ideology of nationalistic bigotry and hatred rather than anything else. They seem to be trying to include mercenaries too in much the same manner as is being done in Syria.Two Steps Forward, One Step Backhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104618#comment2987922014-03-18T22:26:42+00:00KMPaul Craig Roberts gives his analysis of the sanctions and general disarray in t...Paul Craig Roberts gives his analysis of the sanctions and general disarray in the Western states plans.<br />
<br />
<em>Washington’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base has come amiss. But to turn around Lenin’s quote, “two steps forward, one step back.”<br />
<br />
Do you remember all the tough talk coming from John Kerry, the White House Fool, Hilary Clinton, and the lickspittle Merkel about the harsh sanctions that would “badly damage” the Russian economy unless Russia prevented the referendum vote in Crimea? Well, it was all bullshit, more hot air from the White House sock puppet and the lickspittle German chancellor who is a disgrace to the German nation. As the Russians kept telling John Kerry, sanctions on Russia would destroy Europe and do little damage to Russia.<br />
<br />
<strong>I wish the Russians had kept this to themselves. I was looking forward to the Washington morons destroying NATO by closing down the European economy.</strong><br />
<br />
Of course, after pretending that they were macho tough guys, something that Washington’s presstitute media could hype as sanctions had to be imposed, so Washington came up with sanctions, not on Russia, but on eleven individuals: the deposed Ukrainian president, an advisor to the deposed president, 2 Crimean officials, and 7 Russians.<br />
<br />
The choice of the officials is an utter mystery. The seven Russians are a Putin aid, a Putin adviser, four members of the Russian parliament (Duma) and a deputy prime minister. What any of these people had to do with the referendum in Crimea, no one knows.</em>Ukraine TV boss beaten up, forced to resign by far-right Svoboda MPs -Videohttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104618#comment2988002014-03-20T23:00:19+00:00TThe head of Ukraine's state TV company has been attacked by at least three MPs f...The head of Ukraine's state TV company has been attacked by at least three MPs from the far-right Svoboda party and forced to resign.<br />
<br />
Members of Svoboda barged their way into the offices of Aleksandr Panteleymonov, the acting president of the National Television Company of Ukraine on Tuesday night.<br />
<br />
They were angry that public broadcaster, First National Channel, had broadcast the Russian Parliament signing a treaty with Crimea on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Yelling and beating Panteleymonov around the head, the men accused him of serving Putin, while there were Ukrainians "dying at the hands of Russian occupiers" and called him "Moscow trash."<br />
<br />
They then forced him to sign a letter of resignation.<br />
<br />
Ironically, one of the men involved in the assault was the deputy head of Ukraine's committee on freedom of speech.
