Ukrainian soldier killed in Crimea base; PM says conflict is now military

quote:
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Tuesday that the conflict in its Crimea peninsula, now under Russian control, had entered a military phase after an Ukrainian officer was killed in an alleged Russian shooting at a Crimea base.
"The conflict is moving from a political one to a military one because of Russian soldiers," he told a meeting at Ukraine's defense ministry. "Today, Russian soldiers began shooting at Ukrainian servicemen and this is a war crime without any expiry under a statute of limitations."
Yatseniuk said he had ordered Ukraine's defense minister to call a meeting with his counterparts from Britain, France, and Russia - signatories to a 1994 treaty guaranteeing Ukraine's borders to "prevent an escalation of the conflict".
Earlier, a military spokesman said a Ukrainian officer was killed in a shooting at a military facility on the outskirts of the Crimean capital Simferopol, but it was unclear who was behind the incident.

I expect some shooting to happen in Crimea as the Russians begin pushing out the Ukrainian military that are still in the bases.

I wonder if this will be the first of many dominos to fall?

America is on this. Putin will learn the hard way. If he thinks he can break International Law and invade sovereign countries without an intense flurry of words and letters from our direction he is sadly mistaken.

There is nothing for them to do but vacate Crimea and leave it to the Russians.
The West, under US leadership, will not go to war over Crimea, under any circumstances.
However, it is time for the USA to prepare for war in order to protect NATO nations, and to bring Ukraine into NATO as soon as possible.

Im sure Putin will say it was the "local" defense force expelling a foreign army.
