I seriously don't understand the outcry.

 All newspapers over here focus on that irrelevant "Fuck the EU"-statement. But the really troublesome aspect about that conversation is not some stupid three-word-phrase that everyone would say in a conversation expected to be private - it's the fact that the US is apparantly actively spurring these riots, and is already considering which politicians they want to install in a changed government.

News at eleven!

Here's another one for ya, Schmidt-Tombinsky talk, same topic:

 Neither of these records have anything big to reveal honsetly. What is more puzzling is why SBU, or whoever, leaked these.

For Russia, Ukraine’s future is closely connected with its own future. Ukraine is an area reaching deeply into Russia’s heartland. If it lost Ukraine from its sphere of influence, Russia could no longer be defended. The main transit route for Russian energy carriers towards the West, the basis of Russian economy, runs through Ukraine. This implies that Russia will fight bitterly for keeping the greatest influence in Ukraine.

Starting from the premise it's wrong.
