Russia: Moscow Mayor Upset Ukraine!

Hello,

The Mayor of Moscow. Yury Luzhkov. Has been barred from Ukraine. Seems he thinks that the ownership of a Russian naval base on Ukraine's Crimean peninsula needs to be transferred back to Russia.
--------------------------------------------------
"Russian citizen Yury Luzhkov has been barred from entering Ukraine, starting on May 12, because, despite warnings he continued to call for actions that threaten Ukraine's national interests and territorial integrity," Ukraine's Security Service said in a statement.
--------------------------------------------------
I am not sure that Yury Luzhkov really cares what Ukraine thinks about this. I understand that The Crimea wants to be a separate country from the Ukraine anyway.

So Yury can still enjoy the Crimean sunshine!

Seems to me this is all part of the sabre rattling between Russia and Ukraine. It's been going on since 900 ad so would be unusual if it stopped now! More importantly, Lyzhkov hasn't been in the international news much recently, and he's getting jealous!

Hey Matt,

You think that Lyzhkov likes to be on front page? :)

If the saber rattling stopped, that is when I would be worried.

Thanks for stopping by.
