I'm not a Russian government - so it will be just my personal feelings on the matters.
1. Odessa. The problem is not Ukraines kills Russians. Its Ukraines kills Ukraines. Ethnik things their are so thin that its hard to say who is Russian and who is not. (I think the normal American will not be able to differentiate Russian from Ukraine or Belarus person. Because its the same people in fact.) So the things are much harder and I personally don't know what can be done there.
2. I think yes. But what will be after it? Who knows. (Referendums are for independance of those regions, not about joining Russia!)
3. Hard to say. Cuba - surely. Others - i don't know. I'd be glad to know more about those countries. I'm not speaking here only about Venesuela and Equador. Argentina and Brazilia - too. 

Yeah, it's terrible what's happening there, but I think some people there are clearly pro-Russia, and maybe consider themselves as Russians? Because I was really surprised to when I watched some footage of people wearing Russian flags instead of Ukranian flags. 

What's going to happen to those regions that seek independence? Ukraine is not going to recognize their referendum, so I think military oppression is the most likeable move. 

I asked that because RT has become a popular Network in some countries. 

The problem with Ukraine is that its large. If you'll look on the map of Crimea, you'll see that its easy to secure the peninsula. Ukraine NAVY isn't exist in real life, so it was easy to get stability in the area. 

Donetsk and Lugansk - are in the steppe, preria. You can't secure it by force. So that problem should be solved some other way. Looking on Egypt I hope that Ukraine military will say 'enough' and bring down new so called 'authorites'. Its the only realistic way out of this situation I see.

Also RT is nice. Its good that people in the West can get another point of view.
