I find it hard to believe that Russia won't intervene if it continues like this for much longer.
The goal of this whole campaign (i mean recent events in Odessa and South-East) - to drag Russian Federation into war. While world's mass-media blackens everything concerning Russia, it seems obvious that any detected russian force (even peacekeepers) on the territory of Ukraine would be called "Kremlin's butchers" and of course "warriors of light, defending the ideals of humanity" (NATO) would not hesitate to unleash its "holy wrath" on "agressive invaders". And again Europe will be on fire, while USA will trade, enrich, design new atrocities, orchestrating the conflict and dangling its lapdogs with new credits. That's the "Perfect war" by weakminded Western observers. The truth - if Russia intervenes it will be WW3.
