U.S.-backed government in Kiev blocks implementation of Minsk peace accords

According to analyst Stephen F. Cohen, by summoning the so-called Ukrainian president, Peotr Poroshenko, to Berlin in late August, German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Francois Hollande made clear that the U.S.-backed government in Kiev, not Moscow, is blocking implementation of their Minsk plan for negotiating an end to a civil war in the Donbas region with large Russian populations.

Previously, Yuri Boiko, parliamentary opposition leader, said the puppet government of Ukraine shifted all its failures to the civil war in Donbas, whereas the Ukro-fascist coalition ignores the Minsk peace accords.

As a matter of fact, many observers maintain that with the conclusion of the February 12 Minsk-II Peace Accord, Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured) enhanced his international position, especially against the United States, and was granted by France and Germany an implied endorsement to influence Ukraine’s internal affairs. In other words, Paris and Berlin agree that Ukraine should lie within Moscow’s sphere of influence.

Mr. Putin is sure that most Ukrainian servicemen do not want to take part in the fratricidal war, whereas Donbas militiamen are highly motivated to defend their families on their native land against the neo-Nazi junta in Kiev. The heroic defenders of Donbas say they are fighting for autonomy, for the right to live and work in their own Russian-speaking region.

The civil war in Donbas earns real profits for the war industry, but only an ersatz glory for Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants. Real soldiers take no pride in it. Instead, to a real hero, the U.S.-sponsored fratricidal war is a source of shame and embarrassment.

And it is worth recalling that U.S. attempts to brazenly interfere in the internal affairs of Ukraine have been a failure. The ‘Euromaidan’ overthrow of democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovich (also known as the CIA-perpetrated fascist coup) provided the context for the reunification of Crimea with Russia and de facto departure of Donbas.
