Ja, fler sammanstötningar mellan hybrisryssar och ilskna tatarer känns väl inte alltför avlägset.

Could Russia intervene militarily in Crimea to safeguard its strategic interests? Or, to put the question a different way, has Russia already intervened?
Nobody yet knows the identities of the armed men who seized control of Simferopol airport.
But their equipment, their vehicles and their behaviour all signal that this is a trained military unit, not a rag-tag group of pro-Russian loyalists.
"These men look like a formed and organised body of troops. They appear to be disciplined, confident and uniformly dressed and equipped," says Brigadier Ben Barry, a land warfare expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
"Irregular militia may obtain bits of official kit but they tend to look like a military jumble sale."

The Russian foreign ministry has authorized the issuance of passports for members of the Berkut, the Ukrainian paramilitary force that acted in support of Yanukovych during the Independence Square protests, according to the ministry’s Facebook page and the ministry web site.
The editor of Russia Today tweeted a welcome message to the Berkut: “Dear Berkut, welcome, you don’t know how glad we are to see you.” It ends with an offer to tea.

Citat:
The former British Ambassador to Moscow has warned that if Russia has invaded Ukraine then it would be difficult for Britain to avoid going to war.
Sir Tony Brenton, who served as British Ambassador from 2004 to 2008, said that war could be an option 'if we do conclude the [Budapest] Memorandum is legally binding.'
The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1991 by Bill Clinton, John Major, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kuchma – the then-rulers of the USA, UK, Russia and Ukraine.
It promises to protect Ukraine's borders, in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons.
Today Kiev has demanded the agreement is activated after insisting their borders had been violated.
