They have started issuing passports to Ukrainians in the eastern regions, which is exactly what was done in South Ossetia before the Georgian Russian war. Will we see the beginnings of a forced partitioning of East and West Ukraine?

Russia is starting to give out passports under a simplified procedure. Russia demands the fulfillment of the conditions of the agreements between the opposition and Yanukovych. And the main thing is that in the event of a decision of the Crimeans to have a referendum, or an appeal to the Supreme Council of the Crimea to Russia with a request to annex…Russia will review this question very quickly. Tsekov and Aksyonov mumbled, spoke about integrity and the Russian Word festival.”
