According to spokesmen for Russian President Vladimir Putin, his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko rejected a proposal to move forward with the peace process between the Ukrainian government and eastern rebels.
The proposal was a fairly modest advance on the current ceasefire, calling for both sides to withdraw heavy artillery away from combat areas, and into areas where they wouldn’t be so conveniently used.
Russian officials said that not only had Poroshenko rejected the proposal, but that he almost immediately ordered a new round of offensives in the southeast, which Russia warned violated the Minsk agreement already in place.
Both Russia and the OSCE have called for a return to calm, but it seems that the ceasefire is tottering after months of relative calm, with fighting in several places, including the rebel capital of Donetsk.
The Neocons won't be happy until we are in a world war.
Ukraine President Poroshenko is the American-installed puppet, so none of this is surprising.
Russian President Vlad Putin is one of the few statesmen in the world today. Too bad O-Bomb-a and
NuttyYahoo aren’t among them.
Its been obvious for some time that the Kiev regime is hell bent on war and that any negotiations with them are done purely for PR purposes.
The whole point of the exercise is to drive a wedge between the EU and the RF in order to maintain US Hegemony on the Eurasian continent..
The way Neocons try keep wars of destruction alive, way they try so hard involve Russia into the action . that is so visible and evil, that only idi…t cant see…..Thank to Putin Europe was not yet changed into battlefield. But how long will Russia stand attack on all fronts / sancion,media, ground etc/ ? Pedo
The neocons are consistently starting trouble where there previously was none. The media backs it up and I fear the more the older people's ranks are thinned out, the more these up and coming neocon morons will keep pushing on until they get us a huge smash into the jaw. Spoiled fatties like Kagan, Kristol, Nudelman, with their questionable dual loyalties, will start a conflict at a moment's notice and never get their hands dirty in the process, as all War Pigs do. they care nothing for the people of the US, our reputation, our prestige, nothing except their spoiled and fat selves getting rich off the carnage they provoke.
They ought to be tried for treason, but that would imply there are enough people left who see what they do as criminal and I think that ship has sailed.
I am afraid you are right. There are fewer and fewer people who see though neocons, as they adjust like chameleons. They do not care about America, only to use it to feed their power hungry ego. They are true ideological descendants of Trotsky — permanent "revolution", always ideologically colored world "us vs. them". Hardly ever matters what the ideology is — arguments are just props in another reality show — this one with deadly consequences for millions of civilians in Ukraine. What is not clear to neocons pushing for "the final solution" to Russian population is that the rebel regions are only a tip of the iceberg. There are six more regions that they will have to ethnically cleanse in order to control. It includes all Russian majority regions, Kharkov, Dnyepropetrovsk, Zaporozye, Odessa, Mykolaev, and Kherson. Ukraine is already a bankrupt country facing economic collapse. Is Europe prepared to occupy Ukraine to prevent it descending into a failed state. Do they think Russia will just smile to European "partners" while being forced to clean up the mess?
MS Media and the neocons are one& the same.. Ordo ab chao, all to control people.
The US agenda is encroachment on Russia's borders and nothing else will do. Not a year went by after the fall of the Soviet Union before the US saw the opportunity to expand it's influence worldwide.
