As always, the Guardian has good coverage that seems to be keeping pace with the flow of information.

I do not like this turn of events. Not one little bit.

I don't either, but this is the way the world works. Exiting powers create a vacuum. Expect to see more of Russia and China asserting themselves on the world stage now that the United States is no longer a credible military power.

now that the United States is no longer a credible military power.

It is hard to fathom such a level of confusion.

I think this title is slightly sensationalist.

More than 10 Russian military helicopters also flew into Ukrainian airspace over the region on Friday, Kiev's border guard service said http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/28/us-ukraine-crisis-...

"The fleet denied its forces were involved in seizing one of the airports, Interfax news agency reported, while a supporter described the armed group at the other site as Crimean militiamen."

So one President backs one gas pipeline deal, and the other President another deal. Russia has an interest in the latter.

Both stood to gain massive backhanders. The people of Ukraine have to suffer.

Does that summarize the core issues?

"Ukraine: President Viktor Yanukovych says he was forced to flee due to threats; slams 'pro-fascist' forces" is the actual title.

Posting it to hacker news as "Russia invading Ukraine right now" is editorializing. (See the Guidelines.)

Editorializing or link bait? Either way it's a stretch.
