Ukraine crisis: RAF jet to monitor Ukraine border
by Irn Bru Tue Mar 11, 2014 10:48 pm
An RAF reconnaissance aircraft will be sent to monitor the crisis in Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence has said.
A UK E-3D Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (Awacs) jet will fly from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
The aircraft would carry out its mission while staying within Polish and Romanian airspace, the MoD said.
Meanwhile, officials from several countries are due in London to discuss sanctions against Russian officials over its incursion into Ukraine.
David Cameron has said targeted sanctions could be introduced "within days" after Russian troops were deployed into the region of Crimea, in the south-east of the country.
Pro-Russian troops are still blockading Ukrainian troops across the autonomous region ahead of a secession referendum there on Sunday

Oh well, in for a penny in for a pound.

Oh Lor, a little at a time it escalates! Russia said previously if sanctions are applied it won't stick to its nuclear weapons undertakings.
