Explain Crimea...

[peacetraveler22]

I don't understand why there is blackness in Crimea. What's going on? Is this some political game being played or really a problem with infrastructure? Meanwhile, I read the pro-Kremlin blog of Russian patriot politichanka, who is very friendly even though we have completely different political views. I read her blog, and sometimes communicate with her. She's upset the TV news remains silent about the difficult situation in Crimea...focusing only on Erdogan, Syria, Bandera, Nazis...enemies all around, instead of discussing problems within. I saw some photos in other posts where Crimean children are gathered in public places where a TV is placed, and they too are staring at the face of Putin on the news rather than watching cartoons or other child friendly programming. Meanwhile, I haven't seen this situation covered at all on major U.S. news channels. As usual, we are focused on problems within - yet another shooting in Colorado from what appears to be a religious, right wing wacko opposed to abortion. So many of these religious conservatives are opposed to immigrants or refugees, failing to recognize that extremism comes in all forms, including from their beloved brethren.

What's really happening in Crimea? Help me understand.

It is not Ukraine's responsibility to keep Crimea warm.

1) You have to. We have got a kontrakt
2) I dont understand what do you want. To make krimeans to be loyal to Ukraina by freezing them? Dont you think, it is a wrong way?

Russia has a lot contracts and international agreements. How many of them Russia denounced?
Wrong way for what? For example Kyiv was destroyed before liberation in 1943. We just turn off the light in Crimea in 2015.

Wrong way to fight for simpathy of krimeans.
>For example Kyiv was destroyed before liberation in 1943
Are you sure, thar mr Stalin is a proper politician to take an example by?

[dorli87.livejournal.com]

Of coarse not. Thats why we just turn off the light

[pro100-petrov.livejournal.com]

But why??? You, guys, are telling that Krime is suffering under Russian occupation. So, it means that you have to support krimeans, not to harrass them. Which one of us is occupant?

[dorli87.livejournal.com]

Have you read requirements of Majlis?

[pro100-petrov.livejournal.com]

To release a person, who was intended to detonate a bomb during 9 may demonstration? So, why do all the krimeans have to suffer for that?

[dorli87.livejournal.com]

Yes, we collect all our fascists.

If they consider Crimea is being part of Ukraine, it's their responsibility. If they don't want to take any responsibilities regardign Crimea they should accept that it's Russia now.

According to Ukraine officials, Crimea is a part of Ukraine
