Apparently there are now 6000 newly arrived Russian soldiers in Crimea.
Hm... It seems they are welcomed by the locals...
My prediction is that Crimea will try to proclaim independence, eventually.
I think they probably had enough of the insecurity and general chaos of Ukrainian politics.
I guess it doesn't matter massively to them, what the world thinks of it, because isn't the economy almost completely around military, agriculture and tourism from ex USSR? In that case, I guess they have nothing to lose and quite a lot to win.
