Just after a deadline set by Kiev for protesters in eastern Ukraine to vacate seized buildings expired, Parliament-appointed PM Arseny Yatsenyuk pledged to push through a law allowing regional referendums in the country.
Ukraine's interim prime minister has offered to devolve more powers to eastern regions, where pro-Russian separatists are defying the government.
The U-turn comes after Ukraine’s elite Alpha unit reportedly refused to obey an order to besiege protester-held buildings. At a session of law enforcement officials in Donetsk, one of the Alpha commanders said that he and his men are a force intended for rescuing hostages and fighting terrorism and will only act in accordance with the law, local media reported.
When the power went out Monday night, many inside believed Ukraine's special forces were coming to retake the building. But the Ukrainian military is nowhere to be seen, and the mood of the protesters is growing ever more defiant.
Ukrainian officials say they won't storm the building for now. But the acting President says those who have seized buildings will be treated as "terrorists" and prosecuted with the full force of the law.
Ukraine's acting president has promised that pro-Russian activists occupying government buildings in the eastern cities of Donetsk and Luhansk will not be prosecuted if they lay down their arms.

Good news , thanks for sharing . The way the western propaganda has been spinning this you would think that Russia had installed nukes in the east but all the real pictures show is protesters with molacoft cocktails and tires .I am glad the people from the different regions will have a chance to decide which way they want to go and are able to refuse to follow the western installed Nazi puppets in Kiev .

What about those people in caucuasus that the Russians keeps putting down everytime they have been fighting for independence for decades? Sure that would mean Russia loses a bunch of its oil and other valuable resources and would face economic collapse but, you say you are are glad to see "the people from the different regions will have a chance to decide which way they want to go" right? Maybe the west should start arming and training them or send in troops and have them vote. You would support that, right?

What I am saying is that the people who live there should have the right to decide their Government .They should also have the right to decide the name they want to call their country

I was thinking more along the lines of letting them decide their options ,seeing they are the ones living there and have a lot better knowledge as to their history and geographic location .

You are missing my point completely. All I was merely tying to show, based on the title of the thread, is that in the 10 year time frame of the map, how much of a 'land grab' the EU, read IMF, World Bank, Nato et all, have achieved.

Nations are not forced to join NATO or the EU.
