Fighting continues in eastern Ukraine, where the oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk remain largely out of central government control. Russia and NATO both agree this is a problem, and both agree it’s the other side’s fault.
NATO continues to portray the eastern protests and secessionist movement as entirely a creation of Russia, with the US threatening “powerful action” to punish Russia for allowing weapons to flow across the border.
Russian Envoy Alexander Grushko, by contrast, said NATO in general and the US in particular were encouraging the Kiev government’s violent crackdown on dissent in the area.
After the election of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Russia started calling for negotiations to end the fighting and settle the situation. Western officials have made it clear that’s not their preference, and responded by demanding that the protesters unconditionally surrender to the central government.
The State Department reiterated today that they “don’t have any particular concerns” about Ukraine’s military offensive against the eastern cities, and that they support the Ukrainian operation.
In one hand you have a cop de Etta organized by USG and NATO chief organizer Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in the other hand you have Neo fascism dictating their meaning in “democracy”. The Neo liberalism dictatorial insult to democracy is nothing new, they have done so since 1990 by attacking countries, the nations way of life, way of chosen democracy by the nations, destroying what people have achieved and what their government done for its people. Neo liberalism dictating how and what and for whom their “democracy” is about. Their politics everywhere been a disastrous for people from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine to African nations as well. Their foreign and domestic politics is the politics of militarization, insulting democracy by not having any respect for humans life nor the people’s suffering, this is the slap in the face of democracy by the very same Neo liberal “democrats” whom are in bed with corporation, far right and Neo fascism predicting that their falsified democracy hand in hand with warmongering party’s some day will create a total fascistic state, now, if is the new form of religious barbarians, canabalism or modernized Neo fascism, the Neo liberals have no other choice but to cooperate with their alike entity of vulture capitalism.
The Syrian people are voting for the communists, socialist, social democrats and other political parties candidates, there is a parliament chosen by the people engaged for the people’s rights and people’s prosperity. The US two political party system speaks a much less democracy then in Syria or what it was in Ukraine or for that matter in Iraq. War, NSA, CIA, taking picture with terrorism advocating for a “reformed” terrorism, the pentagon militarism and other unrelated social factors are the talk of us senate, not the diplomacy nor the prosperity of the American people, if that was the case there wouldn’t be millions upon millions homeless American in the richest “nation” on earth, but that’s what they say that America is! question is where is all that richness, how many of “whom the nation” enjoy the richness and how many of whom starving.
One of the reason of US position is a total ignorance of the history of this particular region.What can an Obama understand in this ? or Nuland ? nothing…they are more aware about basket ball rules than in a complicated geopolitical situation.
Didn't Lugansk/Donetsk oblasts declare themselves "Novorossiya"? I don't know if every part of the two provinces declared themselves to be such, however.
Syria killing its own people BAD. Ukraine killing its own people GOOD! What diabolical hypocrites the mass murdering American war criminals are.
"Largely"? That doesn't fit with what Mr Ditz himself has been writing! There seem to be only a few pockets of resistance left at this point. Once it was clear that Putin was neither going to invade nor annex the two provinces, the rebellion was effectively defeated.
