Ousted Ukraine president warns of civil war, criticizes U.S. for aiding current government

“Apparently, the U.S. administration will continue turning a blind eye to the dominance of ultra-national forces in Kiev,” the Foreign Ministry statement said. “But U.S. decision-makers should think about the consequences of such reckless indulgence of radical elements of nationalistic shade in Ukraine and financial aid to them.”

The statement helpfully cited the U.S. law that Yanukovych said was being violated. The Foreign Ministry said amendments to the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Section 22, Paragraph 8422, prohibited financial aid to any country where the president has been unlawfully overthrown.

And Ukraine is saying it needs nukes. And that they will not intervene in Crimea.

Nukes wont solve anything...

As for Crimea I would wager that the non intervention comment was to remove a provocation / justification element that Russia was using.

At least for now...

A comment of non intervention does not mean Ukraine gave up its position on Crimea.

The one thing about Diplomacy that I always found interesting is the language. Even the most benign statement can contain casus belli.
