YouTube / Gennady OsmakUkrainian troops patrolling the grounds of the navigation station.
Ukrainian soldiers have taken over a navigation station in mainland Ukraine that the country has long sought to have returned by the Russian Black Sea fleet, a news report said Thursday.
The station, designated Mars-75, in Ukraine's Kherson region was taken over Wednesday by Ukrainian forces who now guard it, KhersonOnline reported. The outlet also reported that Russian forces vacated the facility two months ago.
A video posted on YouTube provides footage of the troops telling local residents that they represent Ukraine.

I call it the antisensationalist headline
Now Russia will use this to use more force in Ukraine... :suicide:
I wonder what Russia's going to do about this.
Do you think they'll use this as an excuse to head into eastern Ukraine?
Well you have to be seen doing something.

Invading contested regions.

I think that if they wanted eastern Ukraine they could make up excuses of their own.

Not really. They wouldn't have invaded Crimea for no reason either

I still think they invaded Crimea to cut their losses since Ukraine was no longer going to be their butt buddy and they wanted at least something out of it. They weren't waiting for an excuse as much as had to act fast to not to come out as an utter loser out of the Crimean revolution thing.
I don't mean that this justifies it any, just that they didn't really want to capture Crimea until the revolution happened, and getting an excuse then was easy.

Ukraine is still going to be Russia's butt-buddy. Ukraine never changes

I kind of have to agree. I feel like if Russia really wanted to invade, they would have done it already.
I am probably just really optimistic, but I think maybe the crisis is simmering down just a little (and by just a little I mean the possibility of a massive European war is now just a bit less likely)

Scratch that V face, this isn't a laughing matter >:(
Oh shit, I bet the Russians are just shaking in their boots now.
Why would they even need this.
Also, I like how they use Humvee's with mounts but dismantled mashine guns. These soldiers look quite fancy though.
