So it's not the same as sponsoring a group of terrorists in the eastern area.
"military infrastracture that had been deliberately taken down by Yanukovich's government" - Свечку держал?
Could there be a protest for the calling those people as "terrorists"?


That's simple. They're first of all Ukrainians, that's their national identity, and the fact they can speak Russian doesn't make them Russians. Once they all have realized that, there will be no need in the counter-terrorist operation, all the lands will be cleaned up by the locals. And who's going to endure losses will be whoever is investing in the separatism in the area now.
How should people realize their identities, by shelling bombs or by refeferendums?


I have no idea myself what they may come up with so far. But they'll have to, that's for sure. In case you don't understand who "they" are - just look around. Go to a nearby bank/exchange office. Make it to a store like H&M, Levi's, Apple Store, IKEA. Look at the price tags. See anything unusual? Well, "they" may have to start coming up with something as the pricing trends reach food&convenience stores. But no idea when that's gonna happen.
Can't that "coming up" rekindle Russian economics?
