    SEVASTOPOL (Crimea) (Sputnik) — Russia has started the renovation of a mothballed airfield on the Crimean Peninsula to deploy Black Sea Fleet's naval helicopters and drones after 2017, a source in the Sevastopol city administration said Saturday. The Khersones airfield in Crimea has been mothballed for 20 years, according to the Russian military.

    "The renovation work may take several years and envisions full renovation of the airfield's infrastructure," the source told RIA Novosti. "The deployment priority will be given to helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles," the source stressed. The source added that the airfield's development plan had been adopted following the reunification of the peninsula with Russia.

    At the moment, the Black Sea Fleet operates three Crimean military airfields — the Gvardeyskoye airfield near Simferopol, Belbek and Kacha airfields near Sevastopol.

    Indeed.. but Ukraine and Belarus as countries ,were created just recently after the collapse of Soviet Union. They did not exist in Imperial Russia times or earlier. Soviets Bolcheviks when took power killing ROmanov family ,just like Ukraine is doing today ,began to destroy the past and rewrite their history and culture.  and then began to create Autonomies in the new bolshevik
    world. TO split Russia in regions with Autonomy with the capability to separate from Moscow.
    This have to be done as a tactic ,that if the Pro Romanov orthodox factions tried to overthrow them ,that Russia will be disbanded.. and so they did. a case of if Russia will not be ruled by bolshevicks then it will be disbanded by them. Stalin was against this idea of giving so much power to Ukraine republic and belarus. of spliting from Russia. Soviets it seems to me tried
    to change the center of power from moscow to Ukraine.

    All said Ukrainians and Belarusians are another faction of Russians ,and their language a dialect of Russian mixed with polish and baltic words. Same people who funded kiev funded moscow..
    Russians changed its capital many time , and Ukraine and Belarus are regions of Russia that split from moscow to create a new country. and largely have failed since depends a lot their business with Russia.
    Please can we call time on this? If you want to discuss it can you start another thread.

    I am sure the last thing any of us want is for this thread to go the way of the Ukraine thread on MP.net.

    If you read what i told , you will see is relevant to the topic.
    Is part of the Ukraine conflict today. they are rewriting their story..destroying Russian statues ,
    brainwashing their children , creating laws to not allow the use of the name Russia.
    this IS relevant to the topic in discussion. Since i explained why it happens . How this political warfare of Ukraine on Russia is not relevant to this topic?  Unless you want a topic for Ukraine political war on Russia..and another for military war.? Rolling Eyes I explained the motives of Ukraine
    for changing its laws to ban the use of word Russia. what they are aiming with that.

    the thread title name is   The Situation in Ukraine .. Is not about Ukraine military battles only. how kiev new laws to rewrite the  Russian history is not part of the conflict? so we cannot discuss Kiev new laws against Russia? Rolling Eyes and their attempts to rewrite history?  If you only want to read about military battles in Ukraine ,then go an create your own topic then. then create one topic for Ukraine tank battles.. then another for Ukraine airforce battles.. then another for Ukraine navy battles ,another for fights in kiev parliament. and another for Ukraine economy.. and  split the conflict in a hundreds of subtopics if you want. or simply use the ignore button and stop wasting my time.

    Today was the 2nd year anniversary in Kiev of the shooting in Kiev. There have been rumors from the Right Sector and other Maidan fighters coming into the city for the event that it was time for Maidan 3 and it starts now, Porky and YukYuk must go. A couple of tents were set up in Maidan Square and the Right Sector took over a Hotel there. Some clashes with the police, National Guard and a couple of Russian banks attacked but doesn't look like it is going too far.

    I have a question. I've read that Igor Kolomoisky & Rinat Akhmetov back Yats, whom Victoria Nuland chose.

    & Right Sector, or the Ultra-Nationalists are against Poroshenko.

    Kolomoisky funded the Volunteer Punisher Battalions.

    but here "several dozens of activists showered stones and firecrackers on oligarch Rinat Akhmetov."

    So, who is backing whom, and who is against whom? & who does it benefit if the Ultra-Nationalists come to power?

    If they do, they are anti-Russian, & if they do, imho, the ATO against Eastern Ukrainians is more likely.

    Would just like to hear persons' thoughts about it all.

    Thanks in advance...

    That is out on southside near Chersoness Church. I was there a couple years ago and I doubt it will take several years to get it back in operation and anyone looking at google maps will notice that it is not the only aerodrome in this region, some operational and some not.

    Akhmetov is just as much of a snake as Kolomoisky, two peas in a pod. 99.9% of what you are seeing is theatre, pure and simple. When right sector and svoboda operatives show up in Kiev with automats, RPG's and BTR's, then it's time to break out the popcorn and beer. Until then it's just more of the orc foolishness, pandering to the cameras. If these clowns were brave they would be in the lines facing Novorossiya but they well know they have a good chance of biting the big one there so they scream, bust up some private businesses and mug for the cameras in complete safety in Kiev. The term that comes to mind is cowards, for that is exactly what they are, cowards.

    Kolomoisky and Akhmetov are major enemies. Akhmetov plays with everyone and no one as his major holdings are in Donbas. There is not a high wire artist or juggler in the world that could possible compete. He actually seems the least political of the Oligarchs by nature but in Ukraine there is no other way but to be political if you're a businessman. That's my view.

    All bullies are cowards, they only go for those who they perceive as being weaker than they. The graybeards in Novorossiya taught them a lesson in spring and summer of '14 that they have not and will never forget.

We are not a 'Hurrah Rossiya' group and we do have some pretty erudite conversations to which you and your other accounts contribute precisely nothing. Congratulations, you have just joined your other accounts on the ignore list. I figure you are 15 or 16 and wander around google and wikpedia for your foolishness. Come back when you grow up but for the time being let us adults converse without your innocuous comments.

    Thanks to everyone who replied.

    I can't see that having a Ultra-Nationalist, Neo-Nazi government in power would be wanted by Europe or the EU, but I dunno.

    Two things I've learned on this forum, imho: 1. In America, only persons who are Military or ex Military (for the most part) have a clue what war really is, and 2. the Country of Ukraine is an accident waiting to happen...I can't imagine what a militarized Ultra-Nationalist, Neo-Nazi government in power there would be like (actions towards Europe and Russia, & other countries) , & from just one video on the internet, I doubt that the EU EVER intended for Ukrainians to be able to freely travel to Europe...

    On the same day as the recent no confidence vote, Yats' government successfully pushed a new privatisation wave of Ukrainian state-owned companies through the Rada, something Igor Kolomoisky & Rinat Akhmetov can benefit from.
    Also, Yats limits Poroshenko's power. Poroshenko is the only major Ukrainian oligarch who has not lost money in the last years and won a power struggle against Kolomoisky in the last year.

    No-one wants the Ultra-nationalists be in-charge of Ukraine except the Ultra-nationalists themselves.
    They are useful tools for the Ukrainian oligarchs and the US government, tough.

    This is unverified, so believe it or not. While official ukrops media are reporting "skuffles" in Kiev due to so called "Maidan v3", unofficaly it is reported that over the last two days there have been 67 deaths and more than 300 injured, clearly a bogus number.

    What the official report, and others like it, do not mention, is that the natzguard forces sent in to prevent another tent city being constructed were attacked and had to retreat, they now form a cordon around perimeter of this new cesspit. So it does seem that the threats made by Pravy Sektor earlier in the week to remove Poroshenko were not simply hot air, but they will not succeed as it is clear they do not have popular support. Difficult to believe in any reports from either point of view at the moment. Ukrops TV show scenes, but they show what is in their interest, and go into odd contortions about the seizing of the hotel "Kozatsky" by Pravy Sektor being "legal". However, the radikals in the hotel have been given an ultimatum to leave or force will be used against them, the ultimatum is for 12:00 local. Also, the radikals at the new Maidan have said they will announce demands at 17:00. Cannot find a livestream from either of these locations yet.

    Not a squeak in local news but then there's been so many of these deals that no one pays much attention to them anymore. If I see the thug battalions start to leave the lines in Novorossiya and go to Kiev to support their chums then yes, it's serious. So far that has not happened.

    Pravy Sektor at the hotel this morning. Just over five minutes ago, and only ten minutes before this ultimatum, ukrops MVD say there is no ultimatum. Odd they announce this only ten minutes before 12:00, so perhaps there was an ultimatum but withdrawn after talks with the radikals at last moment dunno http://112.ua/kiev/v-mvd-oprovergli-informaciyu-ob-ultimatume-postavlennom-lyudyam-kotorye-zahvatili-otel-kazackiy-293432.html

    Livestreams from Kiev. Nothing will happen as there is no support for them, they delude themselves into thinking that if they make a noise in Kiev then the country will rise up. First is overview of Independance, second is Hromadske journalist walking about asking people their opinions. I cannot, will not, sit looking at this, but on only a few minutes not one person showed support for any radikals and third Maidan. No stream from the hotel, which is potentially the more interesting development, but I think nothing will happen and the radikals will leave after this list of demands is announced at 17:00. Personally I want chaos to break out and tanks on Independance, but not today, or likely any time soon, but maybe one day....

    Basurin has said in his latest briefing that major attacks are expected from ukrops from the night of 22 Feb into the 23, the "Defender of the Fatherland" day. He is not saying it is definately the offensive, tho he is certainly making it seem a possibility, and does say the attacks will be substantial, possibly to provoke a major response from VSN large enough to be called by Kiev as an "Invasion" bla bla bla. By coincidence, or not, the latest numbers for increase of ukrops forces Basurin gives are almost the same as those given by ukrops a few days back about VSN movements into Petrovsky, ie, two tank companies, Grad batteries and BMP and other equipment. So I guess we watch on Monday night, but I'm skeptical as wolf has been cried too often, yes, also by me....

    But, do not Kiev want wolf! cried so that when the wolf comes, it is not believed. Well, probably overthinking this all again....
