"The Fact Is, These Are Russian Forces," Says Ukraine"s Ambassador To U.S.

Despite what Russia’s President Vladimir Putin might say, the country’s approach to Ukraine is a “gross violation of international law,” says Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., Olexander Motsyk.

“The whole world witnessed the act of aggression of Russia against Ukraine,” Motsyk tells NPR’s Melissa Block, in an All Things Considered interview about recent developments in his country.

As we reported earlier, Putin claimed today that the armed forces that have taken over parts of Crimea are not Russian. They’re “local self-defense forces,” he said.

That’s simply not true, Motsyk says, repeating himself for emphasis.

“The fact is, these are Russian forces,” he says. “And they participate in toppling local government in Crimea.”

The ambassador says he welcomed hearing Putin say that Russia is pulling its troops back from Ukraine’s border — but he couldn’t verify that a withdrawal is underway.

“We’re happy that there is such a statement” from Putin, Motsyk says. “But we need not only words, but deeds.”

A tense situation passed without violence earlier today, when armed men who had taken control of the Belbek airbase in Crimea fired warning shots as more than 100 Ukrainian troops approached them. The Ukrainians were unarmed, carrying a flag and singing. The situation ended without reported injuries.

Ukraine isn’t sure where exactly the troops came from, Motsyk says. But he cites a colleague’s report Monday that there are 16,000 Russian troops in the Ukraine now.

“Russia simply violated international law and occupied Crimea,” Motsyk says. “The choice of Ukraine was to integrate into European Union — and maybe not everybody is happy with that idea.”

Melissa asks the ambassador about the current status of Ukraine’s military, particularly its navy.

“There are Ukrainian vessels that have now been effectively turned into Russian vessels, have been forced to change their allegiance,” she says. “What about those vessels – what happens to them?”

“As far as I know, all vessels are loyal to Ukraine,” Motsyk says. “Yes, Russia has been trying to establish control over Ukrainian military facilities. But all the Ukrainian troops are loyal to Kiev.”

A career diplomat, Motsyk has been Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. since 2010, a span that includes serving the ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.

Motsyk has negotiated with Russia on border and citizenship issues in the past. He says that Ukraine will work with the U.S., Europe and Russia to ensure the country maintains control of Crimea.

“We live in 21^st century. So, everybody has to behave like in 21^st century, not in 19^th century,” he says. “That’s the main thing. And if you violate international law, you have to have responsibility for that.”

Laser Time Cloak Hides The Fact That An Event Ever Happened

This is the first almost-practical application of temporal cloaking … but it might work too well.

By Shaunacy Ferro Posted 06.06.2013 at 1:27 pm

Temporal Cloaking In the middle of the image, the light intensity goes to zero, creating a cloaking effect. Lukens et al.

Electrical engineers at Purdue University have found a way to make your data disappear completely–into holes in time. The technique, described in a paper published online in Nature yesterday, uses pulses of light to create “time holes” that allow communication across optic fibers to disappear completely.

The idea of a data cloak, a way to hide the transfer of data in “time pockets,” has existed for a few years, but until now the effect didn’t last long and wasn’t consistent enough to be of any practical use. This is the first temporal cloak that can work quickly enough to hide data streams in telecommunications systems. It can work to hide up to 46 percent of the window of time it takes to transfer data (one of the first temporal cloaking techniques worked less than one percent of the time, according to a Purdue release).

This cloak works using a wave phenomenon called the Talbot effect. Manipulating the timing of light pulses so that the crest of one light wave interacts with the trough of another creates a zero light intensity–where the two signals cancel each other out–in which data can be hidden.

Hidden Data: The cloak flattens the wave, making it invisible to an observer.  Lukens et al.

Right now, author Joseph Lukens, a Purdue graduate student, says the cloaking effect is almost too efficient. “We erased the data-adding event entirely from history, so there’s no way that data could be sent as a useful message to anyone, even a genuine recipient,” he told Nature. Future tweaking might solve this problem to allow super-secret messages to pass through undetected and still make it to the intended recipient. But maybe they can use the current version to destroy embarrassing emails mid-send?
