The events itselves are becoming clearer and clearer; about 20 mercenaries shooting from certain buildings, aiming at protesters and policemen liekwise. Only the identity of the mercenaries is in question.

For the Germans, this was certainly not the preferred way of regime change; so whenever Merkel has spoken with Putin in the last days, and whenever she told him off for Crimea, he likely responded with the Maidan snipers, and that he has even more evidence for foreign mercenaries. This gives him kind of a moral edge and immunity to pressure through sanctions.

So Merkel has a big problem, and even if she doesn't like to investigate the shootings, she might be forced to. I don't think you will see a picture with her and Yatsenyuk together soon. This man is a potato much too hot for her - my guess.
