 Dear friends and guarantors of our sovereignty!

It has been three months since the confrontation of the President Viktor Yanukovych with the people of Ukraine began. Despite bloody confrontation and great political demands of Ukraine’s opposition, President Yanukovich was ready to make peace with political opposition in February and accept their demands, but than on 20 February more than 100 unarmed people were murdered by Russian snipers in Kiev in order to provoke both sides for further confrontation which may led to civil war.

After that bloody military action of russian special forces take place in Kiev, the regime of Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown by Ukranian Parliament, and he fled to Russian Federation. In order to save his puppet Ukranian dictator Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered FSB (former KGB) agents and special forces to take control over Crimean Parliament. After this military action succeed, FSB agent and local criminal leader, Sergei Aksyonov proclaimed himself Head of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Criminal leader and FSB (former KGB) agent Aksyonov is a leader of a political party, which won only 4% of votes at the elections to the Supreme Council of Crimea and holds only three seats in the local parliament.

Sergei Aksyonov, a self-proclaimed Head of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on March 1 has asked the President of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to provide support to ensure peace in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The Kremlin quickly issued a statement saying that Mr. Aksyonov’s plea “would not be ignored,” and within hours the upper chamber of Russia’s Parliament had authorized military action.

This led to Russian military intervention to Crimea with thousands troops, dozens of war helicopters and armored units marched from the territory Russian Federation to the Crimea and the conflict took on a threatening form. Russian troops stripped of identifying insignia but using military vehicles bearing the license plates of Russia’s Black Sea force swarmed the major thoroughfares of Crimea, encircled government buildings, closed the main airport and seized communication hubs.

Claims by Moscow that the forces in Crimea are local "self-defense" forces is a defense against “fascist” groups have been challenged implicitly or directly, both by the West and Ukraine. In a statement Monday, the G-7 condemned Russia's actions in Crimea as "a clear violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine." The U.S. has called them an "incredible act of aggression."

Russian propaganda claims that Ukraine’s opposition leaders relied on allies in the radical camp such as fascist groups like Svoboda, Trizub, and the Right Sector which espouse ethnic hatred against Jews and Russians. But this is a total lie, because none of this nationalistic organization promote neo-Nazi ideals or ethnic hatred and no evidence were given for such “facts”. Instead all religious communities in Ukraine make public statements against such Russian propaganda.

President Vladimir Putin on his press conference claimed that Russian forces may go further into other parts of Ukraine. Such decision will result in a full scale war. This war may lead to thousands of deaths for both sides, disintegration of our country and annexation by Russian Federation East and South regions. The result of such conflict also will be terrorist enclave in the center of Europe, because Ukranian people do not stop to fight with Russian occupants after formal military defeat. The blood of Ukranian people will be on the hands of our so called guarantors of territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Chronology of main events of the military conflict in Ukraine.

March 1 – at 17:20 both Chambers of State Parliament of Russian Federation, which are controlled by Putin, have voted for transferring Russian armed forces to the territory of Ukraine. This legislation gives Putin grounds to declare war with Ukraine.

March 2 – during a telephone conversation with the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, Russia's President agreed to create an investigative group to examine the situation in Crimea (under OECD aegis). In protest to Russia's aggression, mass rallies have taken place all over Ukraine, including the cities of Southern and Eastern Ukraine – Odesa, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk. It has been also uncovered that pro-Russia rallies in Kharkiv and Luhansk on March 1st have been held with mass participation from the citizens of Russia, who have been brought in to Ukraine from the neighboring Russian regions. The Russian flag at Kharkiv Regional Administration was raised by the citizen of Russia, resident of Moscow. http://vk.com/id110246819

March 3 – Ukrainian military units stationed in Crimea stay loyal to Ukraine. However Russian servicemen are applying powerful moral and physical pressure – they remain very forceful in convincing Ukrainian troops to side with Russia. Groups consisting of few hundred separatists and Russian servicemen are attacking garrisons of Ukrainian military units.

March 4 – Russian servicemen tried to gain control over Ukrainian anti-aircraft division Yevpatoria. Moreover during his press-conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that so far there is no necessity to use armed forces in Crimea but if the grounds appear, the military can be used. Russian army continues to block Ukrainian military units in Crimea.

March 5 – Russian troops destroyed premises at Ukrainian anti-aircraft division in Sevastopol. Russia is trying to re-station its troops in Crimea so that OECD mission will not be able to record their presence. Robert Serry, UN Secretary-General's Representative, was blocked and then forced to leave Crimea by separatists. Separatists and Russian servicemen have been preventing OECD mission to Crimea to perform their duties.

March 6 - Oleksandr Turchynov, acting President of Ukraine and the Head of the Supreme Council of Ukraine has signed a Decree, cancelling the referendum in Crimea. According to Article 73 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the issues dealing with territorial integrity and borders can only be discussed at a nation-wide referendum. The russian occupants have a new tactic – complete blockade of Ukrainian military units. Earlier, they allowed an occasional delivery of medicines and food to our guys, and now they decided to recreate the Leningrad blockade. Once again, worthy students of Adolf Hitler. The situation is especially dire with the Headquarters of the Ukrainian Navy in Crimea – unlike in military units, no supplies are stored there.

Long-awaited consultations of the "guarantors" of Ukraine's independence in Paris have fully failed. Only primitive political and security fantasy can suggest that a decision about sending observers to Crimea constitutes sufficient "guarantees". Sad ironic smile is the only sentiment this decision can provoke. Ukraine continues to be left without support by its "guarantors" and EU.

Another thing is also surprising. All the "guarantors" – and not only guarantors – started calling the brutal aggressor to negotiate with its victim. Is this what "guarantors" consider as steps to ensure our territorial integrity and security? Do they have any doubt about the way how these negotiations will be conducted, even if we presume that they will take place? Or, rather, is it an intention to "freeze" a conflict, in the way how the conflict is frozen in Transnistria or at other places, in which Moscow has been "freezing" conflicts for decades?

Moreover despite the claims that U.S. and E.U. will use sanctions against agressor the Italians and the French do not want to punish Putin. The British government is worried about the impact on the City of London and losing the capital's big-spending oligarchs. German industry is lobbying strongly against imposing sanctions on Russia. And while Washington talks of isolating Russia because of Ukraine, Berlin is saying the opposite, stressing engagement and keeping channels open to the Kremlin. So all Western “friends” alongside “guarantors” betray us in this hard times.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the newly independent Ukraine had on its territory what was the third largest strategic nuclear weapons arsenal in the world. It was larger than those of Britain, France, and China combined. When Ukraine renounced its nuclear weapons in 1994, Russia, the United States and Britain signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances guaranteeing the country’s territorial integrity. According to the memorandum, Russia, the U.S., and the UK confirmed, in recognition of Ukraine becoming party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and in effect abandoning its nuclear arsenal to Russia, that they would:

- Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.

- Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.

- Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.

As a result Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile between 1994 and 1996 (nearly 1900 nuclear warheads).

 But now then our country face Russian military intervention in Crimea “guarantors” totally betray Ukranian people and none of them stand with our country in support of Ukraine territorial integrity and their sovereignty. They do nothing to help us, no military help were given to our country, no serious economic sanctions were used against aggressor. All the public statements by U.S. and UK government representatives are laughable and ineffective.

So now Ukraine nation demand that U.S. and UK government as our “guarantors” in signed Budapest memorandum, make public statement that they will use military force in order to defend our territorial integrity and sovereignty. Nato forces in European Union have much larger military forces than Russian Federation. If our so-called guarantors doesn’t want to be directly involved in the conflict you can give us military aid: 500 – 1000 military aircrafts (F-15, F-16, F-22) with volunteers on board. Such aid can stop the aggressor and end the conflict. We will return the aircrafts after the conflict de-escalates and remember that we withdraw more than 1000 nuclear warheads without any compensation from U.S. and UK “guarantors”, so your help cost much less than we lost.

The United States. and the European Union can also use at least economic sanctions to the Russian Federation that are needed to de-escalate the conflict in Ukraine:

-   denial of visas for Russians traveling to Europe and North America;

-   freezing of bank accounts of Russian state-owned corporations;

-   stop the construction of the South Stream;

-   use fine 15 billon euros (10 percent of annual revenues) against Gazprom for breaching EU antitrust legislation, European Union's antitrust investigation showes that  Gazprom abused its position as the dominant supplier in eight central and eastern European nations, restricting the free flow of gas and unfairly pegging gas prices to oil prices in long-term contracts), although antitrust investigation is finished but corrupted european politics put 15 billion sanctions on halt;

-   expel Russian Federation as military aggressor from OECD organization, European parliament and G8 with returning to G7 format;

-   put a proposition to the assembly of United Nation to expel Russian Federation as military aggressor;

-   freezing negotiations on establishing a free trade zone with Russia.

Therefore, if signature of the Association Agreement with the E.U. is delayed, if Ukraine does not get the NATO Membership Action Plan (I hope that Ukraine's current leadership applies for it quickly), if Russia does not face strong measures, whose impact it can really feel (declarations and diplomatic demarches have no effect on it), Ukraine's only way will consist in taking concrete steps to renew its territorial integrity and ensure its security.

And we address our request to all those in U.S., UK, E.U. who is "deploring" and verbally "condemning" Russian aggressor: do not tell than that you have not heard anything and did not know anything. And do not denounce the risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons and other sensitive weapons. You, the so-called "guarantors", will be responsible for this. As we see, Ukraine has fully implemented its commitments. You, however, have not implemented yours.

If the United States, the United Kingdom and the European union officials act like treaty breakers and traitors, Ukraine has to act in a different way. Our country will take steps towards Ukraine's withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to launch steps leading to creation of these weapons. We have all the possibilities to do this and in a short time we will show to the world our nuclear weapons.

But these steps for our nation will not be enough. We have to urgently return to an issue of short or medium-range missiles for our nuclear warheads, which will have sufficient radius to make sure that our aggressing "guarantor" understands what is at stake. Similarly to the nuclear weapons, we can get these arms quickly.
