Dat staat er niet in.

Dat Oekraine controle houdt over de gehele grens met Rusland valt onder de paragraaf 'de status van Donbas'. Daarvoor moet de grondwet worden herzien en de bevoegdheden worden verdeeld. Daarover loopt het standpunt van Oekraine en Rusland sterk uiteen. Volgens het akkoord moeten ze dat nog invullen voor het einde van het jaar.

Russian Parliament Warns Europe’s Longstanding Peace in Jeopardy

An extraordinary letter addressed to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, among other recipients, reportedly sent from the Russian Parliament paints the war in Ukraine as a fight against Nazism and says Russia is ready to “mobilize all forces” to defend stability in Europe, provoking both ridicule and anger in Sweden, after surfacing there this week.

The sensational letter, signed by the State Duma chairman Sergey Naryshkin, a known hardliner with a close relationship to Putin, warns of a “fragmentation in Europe” and says that continuing sanctions, the crisis in Ukraine, and January’s terror attacks in Paris, jeopardise “the possibility of a peaceful life for over 800 million Europeans”.

The letter urges European parliamentarians to stop the crisis, and conjures imagery of both the Second World War and the Cold War. “We shall not allow the heirs of this criminal ideology [Nazism] to sow discord and alienation in the European family of nations. Such a split has already once in our common history resulted in death and misery, suffering and ruined fortunes, hunger and devastation,” reads a translation seen by Newsweek.

“The enormous responsibility for the future of our continent, imposed on members of parliament, leads us to mobilize all forces and means so Europe will henceforth remain a continent of stability and prosperity,” it continues, concluding: “We urge you, ladies and gentlemen, to realize what brink the world is on.”

The letter was addressed to all the national parliaments of Europe, the European Parliament, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and the Council of Europe, although its contents has so far only been covered in the Swedish media, after the Russian Embassy there forwarded the letter on to Swedish politicians. It is dated January 23rd, although it has only surfaced this week, coinciding with an important foreign policy debate in Sweden.

Spokespeople for the European Parliament and the Council of Europe said they were not aware of the letter.

Several Swedish politicians have expressed their anger at the letter’s threatening tone, and some Swedes go as far to say that it constitutes a threat of war, albeit one couched in diplomatic language. In the same week that the terms of a ceasefire were hashed out in Minsk over the crisis in Ukraine, Swedes are saying the letter is a way of warning Europe to leave Russia to take care of Ukraine.

Patrik Oksanen, political editor of Swedish daily newspaper Hudiksvalls Tidning, says the letter shows that “in indirect words, they are threatening World War Three in Europe. It is not a direct threat, but another instrument of the Russian propaganda.”

Yet Oksanen is concerned that pro-Russian propaganda is growing in Sweden, and is concerned that the slick Russian propaganda machine may be swaying politicians and ordinary people across Europe, particularly those who are more anti-establishment in mindset. “They are using their influence in both showing their strength that Sweden is weak and trying to influence the politicians and voters that Sweden should get off Russia’s back and not to start any trouble with them.”

Oscar Jonsson, PhD candidate at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London, agrees. “Propaganda is seen as absolutely crucial to the Russian government both internally and externally. Russians are very good at playing their enemy.”

“This letter fits the Russian narrative very well that Europe is supplying arms to Ukraine to escalate the situation into war, thereby sowing fear amongst European politicians."

Anke Schmidt Felzmann, a research fellow of the Swedish Institute for Internal Affairs, interprets the letter as scaremongering, and says that even the rhetoric from the Russian foreign ministry has been getting progressively more hostile and unpleasant over the past eight to 10 months.

“They are telling Europeans that there will be a major war in Europe. This is deliberate posturing, and the people of Sweden should be worried by it. What does it mean for us? The message is clear: Russia will not back down and is ready to wage a prolonged war against “the West”, by all possible means.”

Relations between Sweden and Russia have been growing increasingly tense, particularly in the wake of last year’s hunt for a Russian submarine thought to be lurking in the Stockholm archipelago.

The Kremlin has warned Ukraine that if the country goes ahead with a planned agreement on free trade with the EU, it faces inevitable financial catastrophe and possibly the collapse of the state.

Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine's former trade minister, gave Sergei Glazyev, adviser to President Vladimir Putin, a public dressing down in a discussion session during which the Kremlin man was faced with jeering and catcalls for demanding that Ukraine abandon the EU pact and turn to Russia. The minister said that it was the Kremlin's heavy-handed tactics and threats of a trade war that had made European integration inevitable.

"For the first time in our history more than 50% of people support European integration, and less than 30% of the people support closer ties with Russia," said Poroshenko. "Thank you very much for that Mr Glazyev."

Radek Sikorski, the Polish foreign minister, accused Russia of a "19th-century mode of operating towards neighbours", and said that it was only when Ukraine was properly allied with Europe that Russia would begin to respect the country. "Poland's relations with Russia are better now that we are a member of the EU and Nato," said Sikorski. "When the question is open people feel entitled to exert pressure; when the question is closed they have to live with a sovereign country."

Glazyev, speaking on the sidelines of the discussion, said the exact opposite was true: "Ukrainian authorities make a huge mistake if they think that the Russian reaction will become neutral in a few years from now. This will not happen."

Instead, he said, signing the agreement would make the default of Ukraine inevitable and Moscow would not offer any helping hand. "Russia is the main creditor of Ukraine. Only with customs union with Russia can Ukraine balance its trade," he said. Russia has already slapped import restrictions on certain Ukrainian products and Glazyev did not rule out further sanctions if the agreement was signed.

The Kremlin aide added that the political and social cost of EU integration could also be high, and allowed for the possibility of separatist movements springing up in the Russian-speaking east and south of Ukraine. He suggested that if Ukraine signed the agreement, Russia would consider the bilateral treaty that delineates the countries' borders to be void.

"We don't want to use any kind of blackmail. This is a question for the Ukrainian people," said Glazyev. "But legally, signing this agreement about association with EU, the Ukrainian government violates the treaty on strategic partnership and friendship with Russia." When this happened, he said, Russia could no longer guarantee Ukraine's status as a state and could possibly intervene if pro-Russian regions of the country appealed directly to Moscow.

Dat is erg simplistisch gedacht.

quote:

The latest poll has shown that 85 percent of Russian citizens trust President Vladimir Putin and 74 percent say they would vote for him if presidential elections were held next weekend.

The poll, conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation on February 7-8 and released on February 13, shows that the current 85 percent trust rating is up from 75 percent in February 2014. The share of those who said they were ready to vote for Putin was also up from 45 percent one year ago.

84 percent of those polled said they approved of Putin’s work as president and only 7 percent admitted they were discontented with it.

The general attitude toward Putin was also mostly positive – 75 percent of Russians said they sympathized with their leader. Fourteen percent said they had both positive and negative sentiments about him and 7 percent reported that their attitude to the president was purely negative.

Other politicians’ ratings remained generally unchanged. Five percent of respondents said that if presidential polls were to be held next Sunday they would vote for the head of the populist-nationalist LDPR party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky. Four percent pledged support to the head of the Russian Communist Party, Gennadiy Zyuganov and 1 percent said they would vote for billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, the founder of the pro-business party Civil Platform.

The head of the Russian Institute of Socio-Economic and Political Research, Dmitry Badovskiy, connected the new surge in Putin’s ratings with Russia’s strong position on the Ukrainian crisis and personal diplomatic success of the president demonstrated at this week’s summit in Minsk. Another factor was people’s hope for Putin’s ability to cope with the ongoing economic crisis and return stability to the national economy.

According to the expert, the results of the research mean that in the conditions of a real presidential election, Putin would win with a result approaching 90 percent.

Putin’s approval ratings were on the rise in Russia last year and in December an overwhelming majority citizens named their president the “Man of the Year” when they chose among other serving Russian politicians.

At the same time, the poll conducted by the Levada Center in October 2014 showed that the majority of respondents did not see the president’s popularity as a potential cult of personality. Only 19 percent said they had noticed features resembling a cult, compared to 27 percent in 2013.

In early December, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on the surge in the president’s popularity in an interview with RT. Peskov said that in his opinion Putin did not need any publicity, bad or good, and the people’s love for Putin was a manifestation of their love for Russia.

Jen Psaki Daily Press Briefing Feb 13, 2015

MS. PSAKI:

Well, we are very concerned about continued fighting along and beyond the line of contact, including in heavily populated civilian areas, and reports of additional resupplies of tanks and missile systems coming across the border from Russia in the past few days, and I have a little more detail of that I just want to go into for a moment here.

The Russian military has deployed a large amount of artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems around Debaltseve where it is shelling Ukrainian positions. We are confident these are Russian military, not separatist systems. The Russian military also has air defense systems deployed near Debaltseve. We are also confident these are Russian military, not separatist systems.

Russian units along the border with Ukraine are preparing a large shipment of supplies to pro-Russian forces fighting in eastern Ukraine. This is clearly not in the spirit of this week’s agreement. All parties must show complete restraint in the run-up to the Sunday ceasefire, including an immediate halt to the Russian and separatist assault on Debaltseve and other Ukrainian towns. Clearly, the same options that have been on the table remain on the table, and obviously we’ll be watching closely to see what happens over the course of the coming days.

Het parlement van de rebellen in Oost-Oekra�ne heeft zaterdag ingestemd met het akkoord van Minsk. Eerder dreigden de separatisten zich niet aan het bestand te zullen houden. Zaterdag werd bekend dat er een werkgroep is opgezet die moet toezien op de uitvoering van het akkoord.

Dat zei rebellenonderhandelaar Denis Poesjilin van de zelfverklaarde Volksrepubliek Donetsk tegen het Russische persbureau Interfax. Volgens hem zullen de rebellen ,,passende maatregelen'' nemen als Oekra�ne zich niet aan de afspraken houdt. Separatistenleider Edoeard Basoerin waarschuwde daar eerder ook voor.

Ukraine’s head of state Petro Poroshenko appointed former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili as his non-staff advisor, according to a new decree. Saakashvili is wanted for trial at home, as he is accused of corruption and brutality against protesters.

The official document, which was published on Poroshenko’s website Friday, announces an order “to appoint Mikhail Saakashvili as an aide to the Ukrainian president (non-staff position).”

According to Poroshenko, the controversial Georgian politician, who is currently based in the US, will head the Advisory International Council of Reforms. The organization’s main goals will be developing proposals and recommendations for implementing reforms in Ukraine based on best international practices. The council will invite foreign experts to work on changing the Ukrainian legal system as well as to boost international support for Ukraine.

“Mikhail will become a Ukrainian representative abroad and, at the same time, will represent the foreign community in Ukraine. We are confident that he will be able to establish two-way communication between Ukraine and the rest of the world,” Poroshenko said.

This is not the first time the Ukrainian president has turned to foreign nationals for help. In fact, since he took office, Poroshenko has been surrounding himself with a team of foreign assistants. In December, he confirmed granting Ukrainian citizenship to US, Georgian and Lithuanian nationals, who were appointed for Cabinet jobs. One of them included the US-born Natalie Jaresko, who has taken the post of Ukraine’s finance chief.

Saakashvili served as Georgia’s president from 2004 to 2013. His time in office was criticized by the opposition for authoritarian tactics. Since his presidential term ended, Saakashvili has been living in exile in the United States. At home, the 46-year-old faces numerous charges stemming from his time in power.

The former president had his assets frozen by a court in Georgia back in September. The order included his bank accounts and property belonging to both him and his family. On top of that, he faces corruption charges.

Moreover, Georgia’s Chief Prosecutor Office launched proceedings to indict Saakashvili and place him on the international most wanted list in August. The charges relate to abuse of office during his time as president, when hundreds of opposition protesters were brutally beaten in November 2007. The protesters were demanding that Saakashvili step down and for early elections to be held.

Saakashvili’s trump card during his time in office was his strong anti-Russian and anti-Putin rhetoric, which garnered heavy US support.

It reached its peak when Georgia launched the August 2008 offensive against South Ossetia, where Russian peacekeepers were stationed under the CIS peacekeeping agreement. Hundreds of civilians and more than ten Russian peacekeepers were killed in the initial heavy shelling of the South Ossetian city of Tskhinvali on August 8, which prompted then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to order a military operation to “enforce peace” in the region.

Saakashvili claimed the conflict was a “Russian aggression” and Western media started covering the fighting only after Russian forces reportedly crossed the Georgian border, with footage of Georgian missile launchers shelling Tskhinvali presented as a Russian attack by a number of US channels. Saakashvili has since advocated his version of events in speeches and essays.

However, the findings of a 2010 EU Independent Fact Finding Mission Report made it clear that Tbilisi was responsible for the start of the Five-Day War, which it provoked by using excessive (“not proportionate”) force in the attack on Tskhinvali.

Former Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili in 2012 accused Saakashvili of provoking the South Ossetia War by scheming with military chiefs, adding that “this wouldn’t have happened if we had a normal government.”

After the conflict, Russia and several other nations recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states. In response to Moscow’s decision, Tbilisi broke off diplomatic relations with Russia and named both Caucasian Republics “occupied territories.”

Beter was geweest als in het verdrag was gesteld dat de oekraiense troepen debalseve met de witte vlag zouden verlaten, dan was dit offensief ook niet nodig geweest en was een staakt het vuren kansrijker geweest. Nu zal er ingetwijfeld niets van terecht komen. Vanuit de de rebellen niet, als ze hun doelen nog niet bereikt hebben en vanuit oekraine niet, omdat de aan hun zijde vechtende bataljons zich niets aantrekken van Kiev.. Dit laatste geldt uiteraard ook voor een groot deel van de seperatisten die zich weinig van Moskou aantrekken.

Norway should stay away from US and EU sanctions against Russia, which only fuel tensions and anti-Western sentiment around the world, said a noted Norwegian scholar.
Norway is not an EU member and, therefore, is not obliged to heed their decisions on sanctioning Russia, says �smund Egge, a professor emeritus in modern Russian history, in an article carried by Aftenposten newspaper.

"Instead of kowtowing to the EU and squandering a millennia-long history of good-neighborly ties with Russia, the Norwegian government should forget the policy of sanctions and seek negotiated solutions to the problems at hand,” Professor Egge noted.
Sanctions lead us nowhere, he continued, pointing to close political and economic ties Norwegians and Russians have enjoyed ever since the times of Vikings.

“Our countries have never been at war against each other, we have always settled our differences through negotiations and this is exactly what the present Norwegian government is going to destroy with its ill-advised policy of sanctions against Russia”, Professor Egge argued.

Gelukkig liggen hier in de buurt 22 atoombomen , geeft mij dan weer eerder een heel onveilig gevoel dan een veilig. Als die worden ingezet, is het 'dag' aarde.

Die van doornspijk en havelte waren nep, ga er maar vanuit dat die in volkel ook nep zijn. Amerikanen vertrouwen ons niet.

"We are ceasing fire everywhere but inner regions of DPR. Any attempt of [Kiev soldiers] to leave the 'cauldron' [Debaltseve encirclement] will be stopped. I have already given this order," Alexander Zakharchenko told reporters.

"There is not a single word about Debaltseve in [Minsk] agreements. That means that Ukraine simply betrayed 5,000 people in the 'cauldron'," Zakharchenko said.

Het is te hopen, maar denk het niet, Ruud Lubbers gaf toe dat ze er lagen en ook een Amerikaanse diplomaat. Worden zelf waarschijnlijk binnenkort vernieuwd met de nieuwste technologie�n en vliegen om de zoveel tijd boven Nederland naar Amerika om onderhouden te worden .

Mja, m'n stiefpa die in Volkel gestationeerd was als piloot zei dat ze er lagen. Dat betekent niets voor jullie, maar goed... ik ga 'r wel vanuit dat ze er lagen.

Nederlanders mogen geeneens aan die containers komen, alleen Amerikanen hebben toegang tot die kluizen. Dus ja de containers liggen er maar geen nucleaire inhoud hoor.

Maar deze discussie heeft geen nut want bijna iedereen is hier pro NATO en pro Amerika en ziet rusland als de agressor.

Is nog niet zo heel lang gelden een documentaire over geweest, toen zei Stemerdink (oud minister) dat die zelf gezien had en zijn hand erop had gelegd, omdat die wou controleren dat ze er echt lagen.

Ik vind het onbegrijpelijk waarom je met een akkoord naar buiten komt waarbij je het niet eens bent over de gehele bestandslijn.

Merkel en Hollande weten toch ook wel dat een staakt-het-vuren compleet kansloos is als je het niet eens bent over de kwestie Debaltsevo?

Is het dan niet beter om met een mislukt overleg uit Minsk te vertrekken dan dat je een 2e Minsk akkoord gaat sluiten wat weer zo goed als zeker niet wordt nageleefd? Dit zorgt er alleen maar voor dat dit soort akkoorden steeds minder serieus worden genomen en steeds minder gaan betekenen.
