I don't hate Russians (more than any other people). Some of my favourite siblings are Russian.

Wait, you are russian too?

I thought that was announced days ago.

Something tells me he is using or spoofing the "I don't hate X, some of my friends are X" excuse.

Before, it was only a rumour. Now, it's official.

I have no idea where you get that idea from.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Siblings are brothers & sisters yo, by blood. Russian siblings implies you're Russian.

[Darvi]

Semi-siblings then. Bit of a cumbersome word really.

Have seen surprisingly little mention of it in english media, but seems like russian troops have pulled back from a number of surrounded ukrainian military bases tonight. Speculation ranges from that they've pulled back due to the OSCE observer delegation arriving later today, to leaving the field open to provocations from the civilian militias.

[Guardian G.I.]

RIA Novosti and couple of other regional sources, both Russian and Ukrainian claim that the parliament of Crimea passed a resolution declaring that Crimea shall become a part of Russia without holding any referendums. I'm very sceptical about those reports, though.

Who's holding the Crimean parliament, again?

That was just a rotation of troops, they came back shortly after

Hard to say exactly, shortly after Yanukovitch fled, unidentified gunmen took of the Crimea parliament, then the members there voted in a new government.

Finally, there is an easy way to solve all of the problems related in any way to Russia: We need to get Putin to listen to this.

The referendum will officially be a "formality".

Also, Crimea speaker says:
"No need for observers because we are all honest people here."

in relation to both the parliaments vote to join Russia referendum or not, and to the referendum itself.

Edit:
Also, Crimean Vice Premier has publicly declared that the "Ukrainian Occupiers" must lay down their weapons and become Citizens of Russia or lay down their weapons and be shipped back to their foreign homeland.

My eyes, they can't roll enough.

Why don't they hold an open referendum? I thought it was pretty clear that they'd win anyway...
