“When Ukrainians send Troops to suppress protestors they never – thank God - seem to arrive. In Russia (and the remainder of the CIS) they always arrive and, as in Uzbekistan in 2005, they shoot to kill,” writes Taras Kuzio and shares ideas on how to transform Ukraine's “internal troops” into a “National Guard modeled on Italy’s Carabineer and Spain’s Civil Guard.”
