Als extra "ontspanningsmaatregel" zou President Putin gevraagd hebben aan het Russisch Parlement om hem die "discretionaire macht tot militair ingrijpen in Oekraine" weer af te nemen...

Zou? Is er iemand die dit ontkent misschien?
Gaat het om een symbolische maatregel?

First, let's make one thing clear: the latest Russian move is purely symbolic as was the Russian Federation Council's initial decision to "authorize" Putin to use the Russian military if needed in the Ukraine. Putin is the commander in chief and he can order any use of the military he wants, and nobody will challenge that, much less so in the Russian Duma. Furthermore, covert actions being, by definition, covert - they do not require anybody's approval, even formally. Second, just one Ukie attack on a Russian border post (even a mistaken one and even a failed one) are enough of a legal reason to invoke "self-defense" and I remind you that several such attacks have occurred last week. Third, since Poroshenko has openly declared that Crimea will forever remain Ukrainian and since Iarosh even promised to start a guerrilla in Crimea, Russia can always invoke "preemptive action". Finally, and this is crucial, Putin can do exactly Mironov advocates: recognize the Novorussian republics (he does not have to have Duma backing for that) and then move in whatever forces he wants. So even formally, the latest Russian move is 100% symbolic.
