Russia Threatens the Ukraine. War(game) Imminent?

Vlad the Invader may be picking out his next target. Following the rather clumsy and brutal attempt to bring Georgia back into the fold, Putin has ramped up the rhetoric targeting the Ukraine:

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of Russia on Thursday accused Ukraine of having sent weapons and military personnel to assist Georgia during its war with Russia.
The accusation came as Russia announced a memorandum of understanding for handling natural gas sales to Ukraine after Putin met with the Ukrainian prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko.
The timing of the Russian prime minister's statements underscores a drive in Moscow to increase its leverage in Ukraine, a former Soviet republic.
Without referring to the Ukrainian president by name, Putin suggested that President Viktor Yushchenko had authorized weapons supplies to Georgia before and during Russia's war there in August. He also said that Ukrainian military personnel had fought on Georgia's side during the conflict.
'When people and military systems are used to kill Russian soldiers, it's a crime,' Putin told reporters after meeting with Tymoshenko at his residence outside Moscow.

Boy, sure would be nice if someone would get around to publishing their game on this topic, eh*?
