Ukraine has made a unilateral decision to organize missile-firing exercises over Crimea, in the sovereign airspace of the Russian Federation, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency Rosaviatsiya reported. Missiles will be fired in regions where civil and state aviation flights run.Ukraine's leadership is insane.
Kiev's move breaches a number of international laws and agreements, Rosaviatsiya said, adding that not only will the military exercise invade Russian territory, but the plans also had not been coordinated with Moscow.
On Friday, Russia's Defense Ministry voiced protests against Kiev's intention to apply restrictions to airspace above the Black Sea and the Crimean peninsula due to missile-launching training. The ministry summoned Ukraine's military attache, to present him with an official diplomatic note.
Ukraine released an aviation notification on Thursday, activating "dangerous zones" in all flight levels near Crimea and the city of Simferopol for December 1 and 2, the agency reported. It added that the "dangerous" areas included airspace above open sea which is in Russia's area of responsibility, and over Russian territorial waters.

Comment: Assuming Trump fully understands and wants to correct the dynamics involved (which he may be close to given a number of his public statements regarding Russia) the key question then would seem to be how far the US deep state/military-industrial-complex is willing to go to sabotage any efforts he makes towards rapprochement. If past acts and events are any indication, the new president of the United States will have a very difficult time of it.
