Brothers and sisters!
Here is the summary of March 12.
1. Stand-up comic and jokester Putin has clearly left this plane of reality, and it doesn’t look like he’s coming back. His statement today about the “unlawful secession of Ukraine from the USSR” sounded like something for a psychiatrist. I, personally, have no idea which virtual world Mr. Putin is inhabiting, but it certainly isn’t this one.
And it wouldn’t be so bad, if he weren’t someone whose word will decide whether Ukraine, which has already suffered enough, will be torn to shreds even further.

The Crimean situation from the viewpoint of a smart, feisty resident: Iryna from Crimea.
WRITTEN BY IRYNA… FROM CRIMEA
I will try to explain the current situation in Crimea.
This is my personal opinion, and there are reeeeeally many of those who disagree.
Although at a first glance everything looks very calm…
Currently, the population of the peninsula is divided into two camps: there are those who, with wide opened eyes, shout “Russia-Russia,” as if they were zombified, and those (unfortunately, even though a lot, but they are still fewer) who very well understand what this euphoria will lead to.
