MOSCOW -- Russia’s deputy foreign minister accused the U.S. of having "childish tantrums” in response to the annexation of Crimea and joked Thursday that Americans should “practice yoga” and watch sitcoms in order to help them chill out.
Sergey Ryabkov said the decision to end all military cooperation with Russia and remove it from the G-8 group of nations showed that Washington was opposed “to the free will of the population of Crimea.”
In an interview with state news agency Interfax, Ryabkov said the U.S. was struggling to “come to terms” with Russia’s move to bring Ukraine’s Black Sea peninsula under its control.
In the latest break in relations, NASA on Wednesday said it was severing ties with Russia except for the International Space Station.
Ryabkov said: “What can we suggest to our American colleagues? To spend more time outdoors, practice yoga, separate their food groups and perhaps watch comedies on television.”
That would be better than getting worked up, he said, because the situation will not change and "childish tantrums, tears and hysterics will not help matters."

George Clueless is a bonafide celbutard, he claims he's some kind of progressive leftist, but here he's supporting a fringe right-winger Yuliya Tymoshenko who promotes racism and xenophobia, who is a convicted kleptomaniac, who promotes the destruction of the social-safety-net of Ukraine and looting pension funds and to allow Ukraine to be controlled by greedy international banks, who is advocating to give Ukrainian oil pipelines to Chevron...free of charge! Tymoshenko is the Ukrainian Sarah Palin, but on steroids.
This is not the first time George Clueless proven himself to be extremely ignorant of international affairs, the other time is his un-bridled support for South Sudan separation from Sudan...but now look at South Sudan, they're killing amongst each other now and they have the worlds worst economic growth rate at a insane "negative" 47.6%:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(real)_growth_rate
South Sudan's separation from Sudan was such a swell idea!

My point is that Clooney didn't put on that t-shirt because he's ignorant, like you claim, but because he doesn't care. It's nothing more than a one-off publicity stunt, I'm sure he doesn't even know anything about that timoshenko, besides her name, and even that he'll soon forget anyway.

Meanwhile in Russia
Suddenly it became clear that tourism in Crimea is not threatened
main
April 5 , 13:05
For those who are worried about the question of the failure of the holiday season in Crimea this summer.
... all of a sudden it became clear that the tourist season in Crimea is not threatened. ( Close )
"There were a few people wanted to go to the Crimea. We called the hotel wanted to book rooms , find out how things are there . We expect that hotel prices will fall , and the people at once, will be able to stroll through the empty Yalta quay , but it turned out the opposite. There are now many Russian have applied already , Russian travel companies want to redeem huge quotas and hotel prices have already risen , "- says the man .
During a telephone conversation, he also found that payment for hotels already made in rubles , although in some cases can be calculated and the hryvnia, and the hryvnia significantly overvalued . Currently hryvnia hotels take on 3.8 ruble , though the real exchange rate is a maximum of 3.1 rubles per hryvnia . When this man on the phone assured that the situation on the peninsula in terms of tourism until the sum is optimistic , and therefore the rooms in the hotels are almost no and advised not to believe the news, which broadcast Ukrainian television .
http://timer.od.ua/news/odessiti_massovo_otkazivayutsya_ot_putevok_v_krim_989.html - zinc
PS. Here, in principle all expected - the lack of tourists from Ukraine make up for the rest of Russia . As a general count of holidaymakers will be like a small maximum drawdown percent to 10-20% of tourist results in 2013 .
Important motivating factor - while prices have not they are aligned with the Russian , rest in Crimea will be one of the cheapest among Russian resorts + disappeared "foreign factor" . Therefore hopes svidomitov to disrupt the holiday season is obviously not justified .
PS2. For those who are planning to travel in the summer holiday in Sevastopol (especially first time) recommend selecting the historical and cultural tourism program - with just her best acquaintance with Sevastopol. Closer to the summer do review material for beginners on the topic - what is best to visit in the city at the first race .

What happened with raid of Ukranian gov. agents to East Ukrania ?
------------------------------
http://news.msn.com/world/ukraine-arrests-alleged-eastern-coup-plotters
Ukraine's security service said Saturday it has detained a 15-strong armed gang planning to seize power in an eastern province on the border with Russia.
The Security Service of Ukraine said it seized 300 machine guns, an antitank grenade launcher, a large number of grenades, five handguns and petrol bombs.
It said the group intended to mount a grab for power in the Luhansk province on April 10 by sowing panic among the local population. No names or additional details were provided.
Luhansk and neighboring mainly Russian-speaking eastern provinces have seen active calls for separatism following February's toppling of President Viktor Yanukovych. Ukraine's pro-European interim government accuses Russia of fomenting secessionist sentiments.
The Crimean Peninsula was annexed by Russia last month following a contentious referendum.
Earlier in the week, a state-controlled Russian TV station said 25 Ukrainian citizens had been arrested in Russia by the country's security agency on suspicion of planning sabotage.
NTV television reported Thursday that those arrested included three activists from Right Sector, a Ukrainian nationalist group that played a role in Yanukovych's ouster. The report didn't say when the suspects were arrested or give their names but included footage of three suspects in custody.

Major action today in Lugansk and Donetsk; Lugansk SBU & regional administration seized, Donetsk regional administration seized. Several layers of police cordons were simply fought through by masked young men - police shields, helmets stolen, there was even a grenade chucked into the building before it was seized but it seems like it didn't explode. Situation still developing.
Rallies in Kharkov and Odessa. In Kharkov there was a rival pro-Maidan rally as well, but it surrounded by the much larger anti-Maidan one and is barely escaping by the police making a cordon for them to flow through.

Kharkov
Violence also broke out in the city of Kharkov where pro-Russian protesters clashed with alleged activists from the far-right Right Sector movement.
Fireworks were used as weapons during the scuffle, with several explosions heard. However, there were no reports of injuries as the police managed to quickly separate the sides.
Following the incident, the Maidan activists had to crawl inside the corridor, erected by police for their protection, as the crowd threw foreign objects at them
