Official Narrative
This is still being written. The western commercially-controlled media is full of 'the wrath of the righteous', pompous demonisation of Russia and little of substance - the usual establishment-loyal tub-thumping propaganda IOW. The leaked telephone call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt has also complicated the construction of a half-way credible Official Narrative too so, along with the legal status of the new Kiev authorities being - at best - murky, it is simply ignored.
The reality
This video is a comprehensive exploration of what has been happening in the Ukraine both leading up to and since the violence in Kiev began in late November 2013. Following the violent ousting of the democratically elected government in Mid-February 2014 (an election certified as 'free and fair' by all international observers), the legal basis on which Russia rests its position and reaction to those events is threefold:
- Viktor Yanukovych remains the only constitutionally comstituted legal representative of the Ukraininan State
- The Kiev vote which claims to have deposed him was made by a rump of its 450 elected members (the remainder having fled to their Eastern constituencies in fear for their lives), acting outside its standing orders with no quorum and with those members who did vote doing so under threat of violence by armed men inside the parliament chamber - in other words under duress.
- Russian forces of up to 27,000 personnel are authorised, by treaty with the legal Ukrainian State, to be present in the Crimea and to conduct the operational maneuvers Russia deems necessary to protect the Black Sea Fleet naval base at Sevastopol.
As of 3 March 2014, Russia claims not to have imported any personnel not authorised under the treaty and, in the absence of a legal authority in Kiev, to have merely undertaken patrolling activities requested of it by the legally elected authorities in Crimea itself.
Russia also claims that it has been requested in writing by the Ukrainian President Yanukovych to use its military to restore legal authority to Ukraine [1].
As one of the contributors to the video says: an apt analogy for the respective Russian and US actions since the crisis began is that " Russia is playing chess while the US is playing poker and American football - bluffing brute force with a pair of sevens". President Putin is calling the US bluff and it is to be hoped that the West really IS bluffing because Putin certainly isn't.
It should also be clear to rational observers that, despite western faux-outrage at their claimed "Russian military invasion of a sovereign state", were it not for Russia's actions to date [4 March 2014] and the fact that Russia continues to recognise it as a Unitary State, the Ukraine would have fragmented into civil war. Were Russia to withdraw its recognition, there can be little doubt that open civil war would be the result.
A more disturbing 'reality' possibility
There is a credible alternative interpretation of unfolding events in the Ukraine, authoritatively voiced by Professor Francis Boyle. It is that, based on extensive experience of its earlier 'colour' and 'Arab Spring' revolutions, the whole situation has been VERY thoroughly gamed by the US-NATO and that Russia has done nothing that was not clearly foreseen and allowed for. Professor Boyle:
I suspect this entire Ukraine Crisis had been war-gamed and war planned quite some time ago at the highest levels of US/NATO. Notice DOD slipped 2 US warships into the Black Sea just before the Olympics under a patently absurd pretext. In other words, what we are seeing unfold here is a US/NATO War Plan. They instigated the fascist coup against Yanukovich. They anticipated that Putin would then respond by taking over Crimea.
I suspect the US/NATO/EU response will be to introduce military forces into Western Ukraine and Kiev and thus make Ukraine a de facto member of NATO, which has been their objective all along. They have already anticipated what Putin’s next move after that will be. Notice also the massive anti-Russian campaign by the Western News Media working in lock-step with each other. Another sign that all this has been planned well in advance.
I suspect that US/NATO/EU figure that Putin knows they have this offensive, first-strike strategic nuclear capability with a rudimentary ABM/BMD capability so that at the end of the day he will be forced to stand down—or else. Compellence as opposed to Deterrence. Just like during the Cuban Missile Crisis. That is where this US/NATO/EU War Plan is heading on the assumptions that they can keep their deliberate Escalation Dominance under their control and that at the end of the day Putin will be forced to stand down just like Khrushchev did and for the same reasons. That would leave US/NATO/EU in control of at least half of Ukraine as a de facto NATO member state.
[Emphasis added - ED]
Supporting this analysis are reports of groups of mercenaries - dressed in civilian clothes and carrying bulky packs - arriving at Kiev airport, from whence they are being sent to Odessa, in the south-east Black sea coast and close to the Crimea. They are reported to be employees of Greystone Ltd, [2] a subsidiary of Academi (Fornerly Blackwater]]) [3] [4]

Reports of Sponsorship
In "US and EU Are Paying Ukrainian Rioters & Protesters", a Boiling Frogs Post article from February 2014, Dr Paul Craig Roberts alleged that "A number of confirmations have come in from readers that Washington is fueling the violent protests in Ukraine with [US] taxpayer dollars".[7]
