Ik heb er helemaal niets over te zeggen. Niet meer dan gister in ieder geval, en dat was; er hoeft maar 1 bom te ontploffen en het escaleert weer daar.

Verder valt er weinig over te zeggen nu.

The European Council of the EU countries meet on Thursday to discuss, among other things, the situation in Ukraine and sanctions. It seems that the EU is not increasing sanctions or doing ahead of time the decision to continue sanctions against the current.

About half of all Russians think that the Minsk peace agreements are being violated, a survey reveals, and most respondents think the Kiev regime is responsible for continuing military action in Ukraine.

The research conducted by the major government owned public opinion center VTSIOM has shown that 53 percent of the Russian public think the Minsk agreements on ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons from the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine are not being observed.

Of these people, 68 percent said that the blame for the continuing military action lies on the Ukrainian authorities and military and only 2 percent of the public incline towards blaming the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk Republics. Twenty percent of respondents who hold that the ceasefire is not being observed maintain that both parties of the conflict are responsible.

VTSIOM Director Valery Fyodorov said in press comments that the current attitude of an average Russian to the situation in Ukraine was caused by growing disappointment in the once-brotherly nation that unexpectedly started an aggressive campaign against its own citizens, accompanied by an immense wave of blatant propaganda.

“It’s very difficult to believe in their peaceful intentions, especially on the background of lies and propaganda coming from Kiev. It’s difficult to believe in their commitment to end the war and settle the conflict, this is the cause of the very strong skepticism,” RIA Novosti quoted Fyodorov as saying.

In early February this year, VTSIOM asked Russians how they would describe the current conflict in the east of Ukraine. Half of all respondents called the military standoff between pro-Kiev military and the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk a ‘civil war’. Seventeen percent described the events as ‘terror and genocide’ (without specifying the side committing them) and another 17 percent perceived the events as ‘anarchy and banditry’.

In the same research, about 63 percent of respondents said they saw the continuing growth of tensions and only 25 percent said that they saw the situation as stable.

The Russian president has again denounced attempts to rewrite WWII history, noting that the authors seek to sow strife between peoples and nations for their own geopolitical purposes.

Putin said the cynical lies about the Great Patriotic War and the attempts to blacken the reputation of the Soviet people and the Red Army have nothing to do with the truth. The president’s comments came at the Tuesday session of the committee preparing the May 9 celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The Great Patriotic war is the traditional Russian title for the 1941-45 campaign against Germany and its allies.

“I reject these shameless conclusions and so called observations that have nothing to do with the truth. Their objective is clear – they want to undermine the power and moral authority of modern Russia and deprive it of the winner nation status with all consequences that would follow in international law,” Putin told the committee members. “They want to divide peoples and instigate conflicts among them, to use historical lies in geopolitical games.”

The president urged all committee members to maintain their efforts in upholding the truth about the war and the Soviet Union’s input in repelling the Nazi threat.

“Unfortunately, they keep testing our society for maturity and unity and for the strength of our historical traditions and the connection between generations. The task of the committee is to calmly reply to these challenges on the basis of citizens’ support and active cooperation,” Putin said.

The president also noted that the most important part of the Victory Day celebration was the extensive and continuous support given to the veterans. He gave a riminder that Russia still has 2.5 million veterans, each of whom made a personal input in the victory over Nazism.

In late February this year, Putin pledged more support to the veterans as he spoke at a major Gala dedicated to the “Defender of the Fatherland Day” holiday. “This is our victory, our history, which we’ll vigorously defend from lies and oblivion,” he said, referring to what Moscow has viewed as attempts by officials in Ukraine and Poland to rewrite history and undermine Russia’s role and sacrifices during the war.

In January, the Russian president blasted any attempts to rewrite the history of WWII and hide the crimes of Nazism as inadmissible and immoral, saying that people who do this often try to distract attention from their nations’ collaboration with Hitler.

“Direct attempts to silence history, to distort and rewrite history are inadmissible and immoral. Behind these attempts often lies the desire to hide one’s own disgrace, the disgrace of cowardice, hypocrisy and treachery, the intent to justify the direct or indirect collaboration with Nazism,” the Russian leader stated, as he spoke in the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow at an event dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation.

“In places where they imprint the ideas of ethnic and moral supremacy into people’s heads, where they destroy or scoff at human values, civilization is being quickly and inevitably replaced by barbarity,” Putin noted, adding that the process is often accompanied by war and aggression.
