2A column of unarmed Ukrainian soldiers confronts a militia checkpoint in the Crimea.Tandahatra miaramila Okrainiana tsy milanja fiadiana miatrika toerana iray fanaraha-mason'ireo milisy ao Crimée.
3For all its post-Soviet struggles, the Russian military machine remains one of the most formidable fighting forces around.Tamin'ireo adiny rehetra taty aorian'ny faharavàn'i Sovietika, mbola mitoetra hatrany ho ny iray amin'ireo tafika matanjaka indrindra eran'izao tontolo izao ny milina ara-tafika Rosiana.
4With that in mind, imagine how hopelessly outgunned Ukrainian soldiers now find themselves in the Crimea, where armed militia choke the roads and airports with checkpoints.Amin'ny fahalàlana izany, alaivo sary ao an-tsaina ny tsy fisan'ny fanantenana ho an'ireo miaramila Okrainiana tsy ampy fiadiana mitoby ao Crimée amin'izao fotoana izao, toerana izay misy milisy manakan-dàlana sy manakenda ny seranam-piaramanidina amin'ny fametrahana toerana fanaraha-maso.
5Presumably equipped (and frequently staffed) by the Russian military, militias in the Crimea have bottled up and blocked out Ukrainian soldiers in bases, from airports, and elsewhere.Heverina mialoha fa voatohana tsara ara-pitaovana (ary matetika tohanan) ny tafika Rosiana, nataon'ny milisy ao Crimée tapi-dalan-kaleha ary nosakanany ireo miaramila Okrainiana tao amin'ny toby, hatrany amin'ny seranam-piaramanidina, ary any rehetra tany.
6On March 4, 2014, a column of about fifty unarmed Ukrainian air force troops marched on Belbek Airport in Sevastopol, trying to reclaim their base.Ny 4 Martsa 2014, nanao filatroana tao amin'ny Seranam-piaramanidin'i Sevastopol ny miaramila Okrainiana eo amin'ny 50 eo ho eo tsy milanja fiadiana, nanandrana naka ny tobin-dry zareo indray.
7On the way, the soldiers encountered a group of militia, who fired warning shots into the air, ordering the column to a halt.Teny an-dalàna, nifanehatra tamin'ireo andianà milisy ry zareo miaramila, milisy izay nanao tifi-danitra ho fampitandremana, nanaome baiko an'ireto andia-miaramila ireto hiato.
8After tense negotiations, the militia agreed to allow ten of the Ukrainian soldiers past the checkpoint, into the airport.Taorian'ny fifampiraharahana henjana, nanome alàlana ny folo tamin'izy ireo handingana ny faritra fanaraha-maso ireo milisy, hiditra tao amin'ny seranam-piaramanidina.
9The unarmed march of soldiers naturally attracted the attention of many Internet users, who celebrated the display of courage and nonviolence.Mazava ho azy fa nahasarika ny sain'ireo mpampiasa aterineto ilay filatroana miaramila tsy nilanja fiadiana, izay nidera ny fanehoam-pahasahiana sy ny tsy nisian'ny herisetra.
10Indeed, despite getting just 1/5 of its total group through the road block, Ukrainian news sites ran headlines like “A March Under Bullets: Unarmed Ukrainian Soldiers Restore Control Over Belbek Airport.”Eny tokoa, na dia ny 1/5 amin'ny andiany monja aza no zakany teny an-dàlana, nanaovan'ireo tranonkalam-baovao Okrainiana lohateny vaventy hoe “Diabe iray Teo Ambany Bala: Vitan'ireo Miaramila Okraniana Tsy Nilanja Fiadiana Ny Namerina Ny Filaminana Tao An-tseranam-piaramanidin'i Berberk.”
11A column of unarmed Ukrainian soldiers pauses as its commander consults on the phone.Tandahatra miaramila Okrainiana tsy milanja fiadiana nijaridina raha mbola eo ampijerena ny findainy ny mpibaiko an-dry zareo.
12Russian Facebook-users interpreted the incident as a disproof of mass defections supposedly sweeping the Ukrainian military (which authorities in Crimea's autonomous government have tried to inflate in the last week).Vakian'ireo Rosiana mpampiasa Facebook ho fandisoana ilay filazana fitsoahana an-daharana faobe namely ny tafika Okraininana ny zavatra mitranga (izay nezahan'ireo manampahefana ao Crimée natavezina tamin'ny herinandro lasa).
13Journalist Ilya Barabanov, writing from Sevastopol, posted [ru] on Facebook that similar confrontations between determined Ukrainian troops and clumsy militia have occurred throughout the Crimea.I Barabanov, mpanao gazety manoratra ho an'ny Sevastopol, dia nandefa [ru] tao amin'ny Facebook fa efa nitranga nanerana an'i Crimée ny fifanandrinana toy izao teo amin'ny tafika Okrainiana sy ireo milisy mitam-piadiana.
14“What son of a bitch,” Barabanov asked in disbelief, “told Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] that 22 thousand Crimea-based soldiers supposedly switched sides to the Crimean government?”“Olona tsy misy fotony,” hoy ny fanontanian'i Barabanov tsy resy lahatra, “nitaza tamin'i Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] fa tafika 22.000 nambara fa nitsoaka an-daharana no mijoro manohana ny governemanta Okrainiana?”
15In a YouTube video (see below) posted by Andrei Borisenko (republishing footage from Ukrainian television), it's possible to view roughly three minutes of the standoff and negotiations today in Sevastopol.Ao anaty lahatsary iray ao amin'ny YouTube (jereo eto ambany) avy amin'i Andrei Borisenko (namerina namoaka ny tao amin'ny fahitalavitra Okrainiana), azo atao tsara ny manao fiatoana kely mandritry ny teo minitra sy fifampiraharahana ao Sevastopol androany.
16While the confrontation happened basically as journalists have reported, the YouTube clip (around 2:18) contains comments by one of the militiamen (the most jittery of the bunch), who exclaims to the Ukrainian soldiers, “I'm also from here,” explaining his actions as a response to “provocations.”Raha nitranga tokoa araka izay nitateran'ireo mpanao gazety azy ny fifanatrehana, ilay lahatsary Youtube (manodidina ny 2:18 eo) dia miaty fanehoankevitra avy amin'ny iray amin'ireo milisy (ny rantsana mahery fihetsika indrindra) izay mikaika amin'ireo miaramila Okrainiana hoe “Avy eto koa aho”, manazava ny fihetsiny ho toy ny valin-kafatra amin'ireo “fihantsiana”.
17He goes on to say, “two weeks ago, I was standing [against provocations] with just a stick,” implying that he is ex-Berkut.Tohizany amin'ny hoe , “roa herinandro lasa izao, nijoro niaraka tamin'ny kibay fotsiny aho (hanohitra ireo fihantsiana) ” izay midika fa Berkut izy tany aloha.
18The presence of former Berkut police officers in the Crimean self-defense forces makes sense.Lojika be ny fisian'ìreo manampahefana fahiny tao amin'ny Berkut ao anatin'ny tafi-piarovana ao Crimée.
19Roughly a week ago, Ukraine's new government in Kiev liquidated [ru] the Berkut-the special forces who battled protesters in Ukraine's capital for months during the recent revolution.Manodidina ny herinandro teo angamba, noravàn'ny [ru] governemanta vaovaon'i Okraina ao Kiev ny Berkut-hery manokana izay niady tamin'ireo mpanao hetsi-panoherana tao an-drenivohitr'i Okraina nandritry ny volana maro nanaovana fitakiana teo aloha teo.
20Many Berkut officers returning (or fleeing) to eastern Ukraine, however, received a hero's welcome.Marobe ireo manampahefana Berkut niverina (nandositra) nankany atsinanan'i Okraina, kanefa, noraisina toy ny mahery ro.
21Moreover, no sooner than their outfit was dismantled did Russian and Crimean authorities begin courting [ru] ex-Berkut.Ankoatra izay, tsy ela akory taorian'ny nandravàna an-dry zareo dia manomboka miladilady maka ny fon'ireo [ru] Berkut fahiny ny manampahefana Rosiana sy Krimeana.
22If the YouTube video from Belbek Airport today is any indication, the Berkut's veterans of Maidan are more than eager to show what they can do with automatic weapons and Russian troops at their side.Raha fambara zavatra ilay lahatsary Youtube avy ao amin'ny seranam-piaramanidin'i Berbek androany, ireo bekotro maroholatry ny Berkut avy ao Maidan kosa maniry fatratra ny haneho izay azon'izy ireo atao miaraka amin'ireo fitaovam-piadiany “armes automatiques” miaraka amin'ny Rosiana eo anilan-dry zareo.
