Like it or not, Crimea’s future is forever linked with Russia. For us, this issue is closed, finally and irrevocably. No sanctions by the US and its satellites, who imagine themselves masters of the world, will change our approach

I've just found this Press breifing by a Senior Defence Official in the US.
Quote:
Q: This is just like of the $800 million, what's in country, or what's been delivered or whatever. I thought that it was --
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: Yeah, so we still estimate the closure of presidential drawdown to be by the middle of this month. Yesterday -- I'm trying to be careful here of what I say, but yesterday, two U.S. flights arrived in the region with everything from small-arms ammunition, machine guns, body armor, grenades and other explosives. In the next 24 hours, we expect another flight from the United States to arrive with similar things in it. But again, we've been moving right along on this. I don't have -- hang on just a second. I'm looking for something a little bit more specific here. So of the just-slightly-more-than 20 flights that we expected to be required to close out that $800 million, we are at 19, so we're very close to finishing it out, like I said. We believe we'll be done by the middle of the month, and that should close it out.
We're also working on the next one, which you know is $100 million for the Javelins, and we expected that that, that's the latest drawdown- we call that ‘PDA 5,’ with the Javelins should be finished by -- also by mid-April, so we're moving on both of them, and we're almost done with the $800 million.

The Neptune cruise missile is a Ukrainian innovation - part of their navy’s response to the loss of Crimea, along with most of its warships, in 2014.
There’s no doubt the Ukrainians hit that ship with something. Accidental fires that spread uncontrolled as far as the magazine simply don’t happen. Damage control procedures would not allow it. Only a catastrophic situation could have got so out of control.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Rumours are that Putin has ordered a glass bottomed boat for his next Black Sea fleet inspection.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
'broken arrow'
Russia's 'broken arrow': Fears that nuclear missiles sank with Putin's flagship Moskva amid claims that HUNDREDS of the 510 crew have drowned after being 'hit by Ukrainian missile'
Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, has been confirmed to have sunk near port of Sevastopol
Experts and analysts are now warning that the warship may have been carrying two nuclear warheads
They are calling for an urgent probe into 'broken arrow' incident - military slang for an accident with nukes
Meanwhile questions remain over the fate of Moskva's 510-strong crew, most of whom are unaccounted for
