It has a large 13,000ft runway (roughly the same length as London Heathrow and larger than Manchester), so is able to be used as a forward operating base for large military transport aircraft requiring a long runway. Trying to get more! Not good, but it seems that Kiev aren't going to fight for anywhere (or have been told not to by NATO). I'm betting at the last minute Washington persuaded Ukraine to let the deadline go. I agree on the deadline, but this a bit more of an escalation. I still have doubts anything will be done about it though. I've just about given up waiting for any potential doom that might come from this. |

Turchinov's people would only make a blood bath without gaining anything. They would have been demonized by the world opinion and then overthrown by Tamanskaya brigade that waits North of Kiev. Certainly no one in the West wants exactly that. Better let the Russian ethnics cry out Russia, Russia. It doesn't hurt |

Why? They wouldn't have unless there was a backdoor promise of help if Russia moved in. Now those balls seemed to have vanished again. |
