Nine Dead as Mayhem Grips Ukrainian Capital - NYTimes.comKIEV, Ukraine — Mayhem gripped the center of the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday evening as riot police officers tried to drive two armored personnel carriers through stone-reinforced barriers in Independence Square, the focal point of more than two months of protests against President Viktor F. Yanukovych. Pelted by rocks and fireworks, the vehicles became stuck in the massive barricades outside the Khreschatyk Hotel and burst into flames, apparently trapping the security officers inside, prompting desperate rescue efforts from their colleagues. In the course of wild day of parries and thrusts by the protesters and the police, the authorities in Kiev reported nine people killed, including two police officers. It was the bloodiest day of violence since President Yanukovych spurned a trade deal with Europe in November and set of protests that began peacefully but have since involved occasional spasms of deadly violence.

I study/follow Ukrainian affairs fairly closely. I have Ukrainian friends here and there. Their opinion, and mine, is that the end game may be a division of the country—to avoid a civil war that nobody wants to see occur. The pro west, western part of the country, including Kiev, stays Ukraine and forges stronger ties with EU Europe. The pro-Russian east becomes a Russian client state similar to Belarus. There will be stress and contention over Crimea. Russia will leverage intensely to maintain a naval presence and port. Black Sea access is VERY important to them. They have a nuclear submarine base in Ukraine on the Black Sea, currently, I believe. Moldova (a small, very poor country) is in the middle of this too. But they should have their own forum. The Gov't resignation is important. But what President Yanukovych decides will be the major pressing issue. Are his hands tied? Will he resign? Coup? Stay tuned.

Leak of video may suggest discontent in the officer ranks with the way the government is handling the protestsWe’ve seen a lot of shocking photos come out of Ukraine the last few days and months, but this latest one takes the cake. A video posted to YouTube today shows Ukrainian police abusing a naked protester with clear bruises on his body, making him pose for photos in subzero temperatures.

The Chechnyans, among others, will be highly motivated to wreak havoc. They are hardened, fearless, skilled fighters who have succeeded in terror acts in the past. Putin will have Sochi and the surrounding area virtually inaccessible to the non-credentialed. The winter Olympics require mountains, and that sort of terrain is easier to penetrate, difficult to defend.

The issue will be Crimea and Black Sea disputes. Moldova (an impoverished country) lies between the pro Russia area and western leaning Odessa—-another problem. Russia is heavily vested in having seaport access on the Black Sea.. Very simplified version, of course, but it seems the way it is playing...so far.

This extraordinary recent panoramic view shows Independence Square in the heart of Kiev, Ukraine’s capital. Demonstrators have defied a ban on protests, taken control of the square, stormed City Hall and demanded “revolution.”

 Mailbags always did. They have a check box for "what do you want to do if customs gives you any trouble?" One of the options was "Abandon." I always checked that.

No 'puter, no internet access, no phone, and as far as I can tell no cell service either. Pretty remote village.
