The 11-point peace deal requires withdrawal of heavy weaponry and of “all foreign-armed groups” – for Kiev a veiled reference to Russian forces that Ukraine and the West accuse of arming separatists in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

“The current situation in southeastern Ukraine shows that official Kiev is not planning to recognize the DPR and the LPR, and is continually breaching the Minsk agreements, toying with anti-Russian inclinations, and flirting with Ukrainian neo-nationalism that is all supported by Washington”, Patrushev told journalists.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he is doing everything possible to ensure the prompt release of the Ukrainians who are “held illegally” in the Russian Federation. He also said that Kiev should not expect any military aid from the United States.

“Every visit to Ukraine by [US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs] Victoria Nuland is a proof that Ukraine is not an independent country but remains under Washington’s external management. It is obvious that her trips are not related to advice and consultations, as Western propaganda claims, but include direct instructions to the country’s government on how to act”.

“This isn’t the top of the conflict, however as an alternative a change in techniques”. The White House emphasizes Europe’s dependence when decisions on global relations are made. Whereas he doesn’t need to dream about peace but, he stated there was “a change in techniques”. “Failure to comply will lead to the replacement of the Ukrainian President and cabinet with politicians that most eagerly heed any orders from Washington”.

If Poroshenko wants to resolve tensions with Russia, Saakashvili couldn’t be a worse choice, as the Georgian President was best known for his 2008 attack on breakaway South Ossetia, during which the military hit Russian troops that were known to be positioned in the area, starting the brief Russo-Georgian War, during which most of Georgia’s military was destroyed.
