The Cold Cash War

Ukraine might have a better weapon in the Money War over Crimea.

This is a good start:

Ukraine ratcheted up its standoff with the Kremlin on Tuesday by threatening to nationalise Russian property in response to Crimea's claims to its own assets in the breakaway Black Sea peninsula.

I'd send the Russians the bill for Crimea.

Actually, it would probably be better to charge rent. With a deposit for damages when Russia leaves. Check with the lawyers on that one.
