Hard to tell who the perpetrators really are... when the Russian troops that are there have no identifying markings on their uniforms and most of the paramilitary on either side have no real uniforms anyway.
It almost puts the actual Ukrainian troops at a disadvantage, they are the only ones that have a real uniform at this point.
A reporter from Britain’s ITV News, who was accompanying Serry, said local pro-Russia militiamen in combat fatigues subsequently blocked the door to the coffee shop with the U.N. envoy inside. Reporter James Mates said Serry agreed to end his mission and go straight to the airport. Serry then got into a car for the drive to the airport as an angry crowd chanted slogans in support of Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Serry said he was happy to leave Crimea if it helped to de-escalate the situation, Mates wrote on his Twitter feed.
Might be just what the west needs to make Putin appear more "thug-like". There's a good chance those holding him are backed by western interests. Hey they want their cut of what's happening in the Ukraine and Putin wasn't paying up.

Well that ain't helping Putins 'righteous' cause.
In fact that is one of the worse things that can be happening.
Unless Putin is behind it, and some 'non affiliate' does the dirty work to keep his hands 'clean'.
I don't think nothing going on in Crimea is not being done without Putin's say so.

Putin is just like any other politician..
He says a lot of things.
That is what I don't get.
That is the universal constant from country to country.
No matter where one goes they are all full of snip.
