#1 She speaks the truth. Pro-Russian population is 60% while pro-Ukraine is 40%. Not 5%, 10%, 30% but almost half of the population.

Too many people who do not want Crimean to be a Russian satellite.

#5 Again,
In the face of U.S. opposition, in 1991, Ukraine declared its independence from Moscow, with over 90% public ratification. Predictably, but weeks later the USSR disintegrated, and the U.S. ironically declared victory. The Cold War was over, we were told. Upon gaining its independence, Ukraine became the third largest nuclear power in the world but, induced by assurances from Great Britain, the U.S.and Russia!concerning its sovereignty and territorial integrity, surrendered its arsenal. This was a phenomenon never to be repeated. Nor are those assurances today honored.
