What is happening between Russia and Ukraine?

[Yorrik]

The Russian Black Sea Fleet is moored at Sebastapol and has been since WW2 - as far as I know - so what is the Tweeter on about?

It's like this. The western part of Ukraine is pro-Western Europe and most of the people there want to join the EU. During WW2 they supported the Nazis.

The Eastern part of Ukraine is pro-Russian and supported the Soviet Union during WW2 - as one of them said, "we think Russian and we speak Russian."

One house divided.

My attitude is dead simple Stay well back and allow the Russians to do what they want with it. It's their mess and not ours.

Bear in mind that within the ranks of the so-called Liberators of Kiev there are a lot of Neo-Nazis - in fact most of them are exactly that. Do we really want these people in the EU?

Things are so bad, I wonder sometimes why we, UK, continue to remain in a Union which is slowly being taken over by the far right.

The far right exploit difficult economic times such as those we are experiencing right now. They recruit unemployed youth and so forth.
