Delay in settling Ukrainian crisis is inadmissible, says Putin

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kiev must understand that a direct dialog with leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics is inevitable within the framework of the Minsk agreements. He said it was absurd to expect that Russia would carry out the Minsk agreements.

Mr. Putin believes a delay in settling the Ukrainian crisis, particularly a civil war in the Donbas region with large Russian populations, and attempts to shift the blame on Russia are inadmissible. “This will cause the aggravation of an already complicated situation on the European continent,” he stated.

Readers of The Ukrainian Times know that in the event of non-fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime will have to bear a great expenditure on the civil war in Donbas, borrow from international financial institutions and submit to the loss of a part of territory. Politologist Paul Craig Roberts wrote that it was Washington that enabled Ukraine’s attack on its former provinces. The U.S.-sponsored civil war in Donbas serves the geopolitical purposes of deterring Russia.

To avoid war, the Russian President is non-provocative and low-key in his responses to Western provocations. Many analysts think Vladimir Putin is the world’s most preeminent geopolitical leader, a master chess player, making Obama look buffoon-like in comparison.

Critics say Ukraine’s attack on Donbas is mindless. It shows the American puppet government totally devoid of all intelligence. Even a fool understands that violence creates growing resistance, and the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime has not even the intelligence of fools.
