Eftersom det ser ut som om den utbildning Svobodas demonstranter fick i Litauen och Polen, gick ut på att använde krypskyttar (igen!) så blir det svårt att slå fast när och vem som gjorde beslutet.
Herregud vilket svammel. Dina "bevis" på ditt och datt som du fått för dig i din stora förvirring är på samma nivå som om jag skulle hänvisa till detta "fotobevis" på att Vladimir Vladimirovitj i egen 123%-igt anti-homosexuell person skulle ha lärt upp ryska krypskyttar för att mörda Maidandemonstranter:

För övrigt är Putins intresse för att vistas i naturen och fiska osv. ett av hans sympatiska drag.
Här har han fångat en rejäl gädda, även om hans sykofanter kraftigt överdriver gäddans vikt:

Den i dag gripne Naftogaz-chefen Bakulin är djupt involverad med den i Österrike gripne oligarken Firtash och den ryska gasindustrins största profitörer:

And while modernizing Ukraine’s pipeline system — which is made up of decaying Soviet-era infrastructure — has long been mentioned, the matter has taken on a new sense of urgency, as Naftogaz is currently in serious financial trouble.
Over the summer, a Ukrainian court — on orders of the International Arbitration Tribunal in Stockholm — ruled that Naftogaz must return 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas it siphoned off from RosUkrEnergo, a joint venture between pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash and Gazprom, during the natural gas cutoffs in January 2009. The 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas is equivalent to roughly $3 billion, an amount that Naftogaz simply does not have.
Paying the fee would bankrupt the company. Also, the Ukrainian government cannot borrow money to pay the sum, since it is currently on an International Monetary Fund loan program and must bring its budget deficit down in order to maintain this lifeline.
The government and Naftogaz have already raised gas prices domestically by 50 percent, and the government cannot repeat such a move without taking a huge hit in popularity and domestic backlash. In short, Ukraine is in a bind.
But according to STRATFOR sources in Moscow, Naftogaz chief Yevhen Bakulin is extremely close to Firtash and Boyko, and the three are planning some creative ways to get out of this financial predicament.
They have come up with a scheme to sell the most lucrative portions of the Ukrainian gas market — the distribution networks — to RosUkrEnergo.
While the ban on foreign companies running and developing the Ukrainian gas transport system still exists, shareholders of Gazprom and Naftogaz are now saying that a process has been initiated in which this ban could soon be lifted.
There has been a massive surge in lobbying from Russia on the issue, with a leading Gazprom official saying that jointly managing the pipeline system would allow Gazprom to have “better insight on which sections of the pipeline need to be modernized,” a barely veiled reference to the economic incentive for Naftogaz to lift the ban and partner with Gazprom.

redogjorde mer för min slutsats att Tyskland och Polen säkert sitter och ser över gasförbindelserna med Ryssland - som då kommer att bli rejält kännbart för Ryssland eftersom andra säkerligen kommer att följa deras exempel - Möjligen inte idag eller imorgon, men kanske om 2-3 månader.
