Ukraine: Russo-Ukr War (June-December 2015)

[OUTLAW 09]

The Russian summer offensive is now officially on---previously night time grounds attacks have shifted to day time ground attacks—meaning 24 x 7 attacks around the clock. Attacks per day have now been 100 for the last week-before Minsk 2 they were between 55-70.

AND that is not a Russian summer offensive in progress?—they are trying for a break through somewhere along the contact front lines as they desperately need a win to save face.

AND in most cases the UA is not returning fire with their heavy weapons YET--the question how long can they still refrain???

[OUTLAW 09]

AND again a massive sign of failure of the WH, DoS and NSC forced unilateral appeasement moves forced on the Ukraine in order to "save Putin's face".

REMEMBER it was Putin demanding a "sign of good faith" and demanding the West force the Ukrainians to pull back and "declare a DMZ' in Shyrokyne.

The West only too gladly did in fact pressure the Ukrainians to pull back---AND what did it get them???? Another KIA and WIA and attacks in a supposedly "sign of good faith" in a "supposedly Russian proposed heavy weapons free DMZ".

When will the entire 700 members of the NSC wake up and realize there is a serious Russian summer offensive that has been underway for now four weeks.

Telephone call costs cannot be that expensive from the NSC to the DNI???

BUT silence is all we see and or hear from this WH, DoS and its NSC.

Combat just in the area of the so called "DMZ" and it was started by the Russian troops and her mercenaries.

Remember what Obama and Kerry stated a number of times in 2014--"we will judge Putin on his actions not his words--well we have the actions and from the US nothing.

09:29 #Mariupol @ukrmarik [Being at Kalmius] left bank one can hear landings

09:38 #Mariupol @LollaChao What the cannonade is it?

09:42 #Mariupol 17th micro-ds @bohdan_ukr Distant booms are heard from the eastern direction

09:41 #Shyrokyne @AMykhailova 1 KIA, 1 WIA

NOW we truly see the utter failure of Obama, Kerry, Nuland and as well as the NSC in their pressuring the Ukraine to commit to a unilateral appeasement based on the "demands of Putin for a sign of good faith".

Putin has used and abused Obama knowing Obama is driving on his legacy and is thus willing to throw the Ukraine under the bus for that legacy.

REMEMBER it was the Russian General in the JCCC that first proposed the DMZ and withdrawal of the UA heavy weapons in Mariupol.

THEN the WH via Nuland applied direct pressure on the Ukraine and it was a unilateral move with no reciprocal demands on Russia. NOTICE Nuland has been exceptionally quiet since the appeasement.

AND we call this US foreign policy---some call it rightly Munich 1938--even social media questioned the US moves---AND the NSC has a 700 member Staff -and cannot get out of a wet paper bag it seems.

Putting Ukraine In An untenable Position

Nearly six months after Russia agreed to an immediate cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, its forces continue to shell and rocket Ukrainian positions on a daily basis. Far from pulling back heavy weapons or withdrawing its troops as required by the agreement, it has built military bases and deployed 9,000 troops inside Ukraine and stationed another 50,000 just outside the border, according to Ukrainian and NATO officials. Ukraine’s national security council warned last month that Moscow had completed preparations for a new offensive in three different directions from the territory it currently controls.

How are Western governments responding to this aggression? Last month the Obama administration slightly tightened existing sanctions on Russia, and the Pentagon announced that training of Ukrainian special forces would be extended to regular army units. Mostly, however, the United States has joined with France and Germany in applying heavy political pressure — on the government of Ukraine.

Since a meeting in May between Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Russian President Vladi#mir Putin, U.S. officials have been leaning on the democratically elected and pro-Western administration of Petro Poroshenko to adopt constitutional changes and authorize elections that would legitimize the authorities Russia installed in eastern Ukraine and grant the areas they occupy a special legal status. Last month Ukraine’s parliament reluctantly gave preliminary approval to the changes after Mr. Poroshenko warned lawmakers Ukraine would have to face Russia without allies if it did not adopt them.

The political formula was imposed by Russia as part of what is known as the “Minsk 2” agreement in February. Germany, France and Ukraine agreed to the deal in a desperate effort to stop an escalating military conflict. The shooting diminished, but never stopped; Russia and its proxies have never respected the cease-fire. Yet now the German and French governments have enlisted the help of the Obama administration in seeking unilateral Ukrainian compliance with Minsk 2’s onerous political terms, which if fully implemented would implant a Russian-controlled entity inside Ukraine’s political system.

U.S. officials say Ukrainian steps toward compliance put pressure on Russia and deprive it of a pretext for launching another full-scale military offensive. But Moscow’s aggressive propaganda apparatus relentlessly portrays Ukraine as violating the deal; and Mr. Putin hasn’t needed a legitimate pretext for his previous aggressions. Even if Russia respected the cease-fire, the terms it seeks for reincorporating the areas it holds into Ukraine would cripple the country’s democracy and independence — which is Mr. Putin’s goal.

NOTE: how did that work out since the Russians are now on their offensive???? Appeasement in the face of aggression never works.

Rather than legitimize Russia’s puppet entity, Ukraine would be better off leaving it isolated and forcing Moscow to sustain it, as it does similar enclaves in Georgia and Moldova. The Obama administration, for its part, ought to be doing more to bolster Ukraine’s defenses, so that Russia will be deterred from the offensive it is threatening — and it should tell European allies that the political solution they are trying to force is unworkable as well as wrong.

Merkel and her FM Steinmeier pushed hard to have the Ukraine accept what they knew was a very poorly crafted Minsk 2 --again after Putin "urged" the Germans/French to "urge" the Ukraine to accept it.

NOW literally there has been absolutely no action on the part of Merkel and her FM for weeks on end now--as if they want to forget what they forced the Ukraine to sign.

AND yet Germany pretends to want to lead Europe--lead it where????

No wonder the EU is dysfunctional.
