US press: Ukraine has intensified its escalating behavior in the region

The events of 2014 that took place in Ukraine turned the country away from Russia, the new authorities embarked on a course towards integration with the European Union and joining NATO, having received the support of Western countries. However, over time, the situation has changed, and Ukraine has become more and more worrisome. Currently, Kiev is the source of escalation in Eastern Europe, writes the author of an article for the American edition of The American Conservative Dominic Sanson.

Western countries are tired of Ukraine, the author writes, the geopolitical situation in the world is changing, but Kiev cannot understand this. The attention of the US and Europe is focused on other issues, which greatly worries Ukraine, which is making attempts to remain in the spotlight. In Kiev, they are still trying to pass themselves off as the injured party, continuing to blame Russia. Although it is Ukraine that is the source of the escalation in the region.

After a military coup in Kiev in 2014, dubbed "Euromaidan", the West began to provide assistance to Ukraine, planning that the country would enter the European community. But after seven years, all the transformations and reforms still remain only on paper and in the authorities' promise to carry them out. Ukraine's importance to the West has dropped significantly. This can be seen in recent events, including Zelenskiy's visit to Washington and talks with European leaders.

Trying to regain attention in Kiev, they began to take some steps that were supposed to show another Russian aggression against Ukraine, but the opposite happened. It was Ukraine that stepped up its escalating behavior in the region, in the Donbass, withdrew from the negotiations in Minsk to resolve the situation and violated the ceasefire.

Kiev needs to understand that trying to earn extra points from the conflict with Russia can be costly. Despite the military assistance provided to Ukraine by the United States, in reality, neither Europe nor America will intervene in the military conflict, as made clear. An attempt to return the lost regions by military means may result in the loss of the entire territory of Ukraine, the author warns.

There’s nothing to discuss.
Unless the turn to the West took place not in 2014, but earlier.
And everything else - as it is stated.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Ukraine, of course, is boring for everyone. Including the Americans. A suitcase without a handle. But they, of course, do not want to abandon her and do not intend to: it is a very convenient means to spoil Russia and bother her. And they don’t need the reckless throwing of “Velikoukrov” on the LPNR: then the “independent Ukraine” will quickly collapse. That is why they warn, they propose to degrade slowly.

[Alex777]

It seems to me that everything happens for a reason.
Zelya was generous with the "discount on transit".
NATO declared us guilty in the Donbass.
The Israeli prime minister spent the night in Sochi.
Multinational maneuvers in Israel are underway.
Somehow everything started to move.
The states left Afghanistan not just so urgently - they were preparing for something serious.
Someone will not be well soon.
Question - to whom?

This is definitely against Erdogan. So you need to carefully look where the wind blew ...
It seems that the States are going to cut several knots in one fell swoop ...
And Biden needs something like that now ...

In life, everything always happens for a reason. And in general, something always happens.
Zelena discount is a provocation.
There is nothing unusual about the NATO statement.
USA always threaten "chop the knots" and do something. But now they are being careful. So is Biden. But of course, there are no guarantees from their unexpected attacks. Able to shoot. But - with guarantees of success.

[Alex777]

Quote: Vladimir Mashkov

There is nothing unusual about the NATO statement.

In a conversation with Macron and Merkel, VVP (when he was invited to the new summit) proposed to clearly indicate that Russia is not a party to the Minsk agreements, but a guarantor. That there is a civil war in Ukraine and issues need to be resolved with the LPR and DPR.
They directly replied to VVP that they would like to leave the uncertainty on this issue for now.
A week has not passed and there is no trace of uncertainty. Obviously, everything is planned in advance.
It is obvious that the Normandy format has fallen apart.

Quote: Alex777

Alexander, "Normandy format" from the very beginning was the same talking shop as the "Minsk format". And so they will be until the very end. Russia and the LDNR said one thing, and the Europeans and the velikokry - theirs, while almost completely ignoring what the Russians said. No need to dramatize!

Agree. It's time to collect Russian lands.

The title of the article in the original: "Heightening Tensions In Ukraine. The US must make it clear that there will be no support if Kyiv launches a large scale military offensive." ... something like "The atmosphere in Ukraine is heating up. The US owes it ( Ukraine) to stop "

Increasing tension in Ukraine. The US must make it clear that there will be no support if Kiev launches a large-scale military offensive.

[URAL72]

"Western countries are tired of Ukraine, the author writes, the geopolitical situation in the world is changing, but Kiev cannot understand this."

In my opinion, this is one of the options "to make it clear" to Kiev that they will deal with the Russian bear alone. I hope this article will be noticed there and understood correctly.

Well, actually the title of the article in translation sounds a little different: "Growing tensions in Ukraine. The US must make it clear that it will not provide support if Kiev launches a large-scale military offensive."
Like that....

[Popandos]

Something too often began to come out articles about the collapse of usrusii due to the military conflict.
Are they preparing us for something?

[nnm]

I think that after the defeat in Afghanistan, the United States is not ready for the fact that, in front of the whole world, their favorite toy in the territory of Eastern Europe will be completely denazified, and the hegemon will be forced to accept it. And then all the US vassals will simply think to themselves - "now they will definitely surrender us."

[Alex777]

What the United States is not at all ready for is
maintenance of this toy at your own expense.
And they are definitely not ready to fight for it.
All the reasons for leaving Afgan are obvious.

And then all the US vassals will simply think to themselves - "now they will definitely surrender us."

So the hopeless were always handed over.
It disciplines others.

Russia will turn off the gas and Ukraine will end immediately. This is behavior out of despair, although if such efforts, but on a peaceful track ................

[nnm]

Well, the end will not end, of course, but its political and economic importance will drop to 0.
Now it is a transit country for gas, which is important for Europe, and will become a source of manpower and resources.
In other words, Ukraine will lose leverage over European countries.

[Cananecat]

Quote: APASUS

Russia will turn off gas and Ukraine will end immediately

Russia will not turn off the gas earlier than 24, no matter how much many would like it, because contracts and face must be saved not in front of Uraina, but in front of Europe.

[nnm]

Well, don't tell me .. as I understand, ukrogs are now about 44 billion cubic meters (even less in subsequent years), the capacity of both sp-2 branches is about 50 billion cubic meters. So Europe will not suffer. And the contract with Ukraine allows for the option of paying for the minimum volume, and does not oblige to physically carry out deliveries.

[NKT]

To fulfill the minimum contractual obligations of Gazprom, 50% of the use of SP-1 and SP-2 will be enough, not to mention the Blue Stream. As for the contract with Ukraine until 2024, you can pay in cash and stop the transit of gas. But what will happen to the Ukrainian gas transportation system after the "loss" of pressure in the main pipelines is hard to imagine, not to mention the impossibility of buying reverse gas. But the Russian Federation will not agree to this.

Russia has already gone to cut off the gas reverse.
To this end, gas is currently being supplied to Hungary through the Turks.
A full stop of supplies is not far off.
We are waiting for the first breakdown of the GTSU. Not for long.
Nezalezhnaya has driven herself into a corner.
Now gas will start spitting from the underground storage facilities.
Russian has not been there for a long time. So we are waiting.

Russia will not turn off gas earlier than 24th year , as much as many would like this, for contracts and face must be preserved not before Uraina, but before Europe.

It all depends on the extremely worn-out condition of the Ukrainian GTS!
On which more than once during the years of "independence" (even without the participation of the current terrorist Nazi-extremist bandit formations, which are so fond of surreptitiously blowing up and blocking transport communications and resource infrastructure on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR), explosions and major accidents happened!
After all, NONE of the "Ukrainian governments" for all 30 years of "independence" has seriously NOT been involved in the renovation of this grandiose gas transport facility that Ukraine inherited from our USSR!

[Avior]

It all depends on the extremely worn-out condition of the Ukrainian GTS!

this phrase is often written, but no one gives examples of disruption to the operation of the GTS in Ukraine.
Looks like a ritual spell.

[gurzuf]

Well, not the fact that not earlier than the 24th. Given the state of the GTS, the Ukrainians. maybe earlier. There would be a desire, but the Petrovs and Basharovs are always ready to embody the wildest desires.

[Denis812]

After a military coup in Kiev in 2014, called "Euromaidan", the West began to provide assistance to Ukraine, planning that the country will enter the European community

Why did it happen? The West has never directly promised Ukraine anything, but only lured with cookies and talked about the need for reforms. And if these certain reforms (the list of which the West also did not give) turn into achievements (the West also does not give a clear list of which, too, the West does not provide), then perhaps Ukraine will be given MAP to NATO and the EU.
Nobody gave any "obligation" to Ukraine. She was "divorced" to create tension with Russia and the possibility of additional motivated attacks on the Russian Federation.
That's all.
Why does the West need Ukraine in the EU? +35 million mouths to feed and which, even without being in the EU, are the main source of migration for neighboring countries? :) So, having come to the EU, they generally all scatter.

There are, of course, reasonable voices. But who hears them? The Conservatives' opinion in the bi-monthly magazine with a circulation of 5000 copies is not heard against the background of, for example, the Washington Post with its daily circulation of half a million. Maybe the West is tired of Ukraine, it will not affect its relations with Russia in any way. Ukraine is an American creature, and no matter what the local "Indians" do, they will receive support and indulgence for any crime.

[Avior]

Judging by the comments, this specific edition, published with a circulation of as much as 5 thousand copies, created to protest against the war in Iraq, is read in Russia almost more than in the States. Either Andrei, then Nikolai Smirnov in the comments.
And the rest of the "Americans" in the comments ....
It is hard to believe that, for example, the very first comment on an article by a certain Gary Sellars, which uses the words

the demise of Ultra-nationalist Banderastan
...
collapse of ultranationalist Banderastan

that it was written by the American Gary. I would rather believe it is Grishka than Gary.
And who of the readers are really Americans and who are not is a big question ...

[Evil troll]

This is the legendary Olginsky battalion.

[Mountain shooter]

However, is it really starting to reach at least someone? How it all started. There is some sort of Europe ... the US is urgently riveting the Pacific alliance against China ... Japan was stirred up ... And Europe is slowly being "put on the brakes" ... And then the Outskirts get tangled underfoot, whine and ask to eat ...

[rotmistr60]

it is Ukraine that is the source of escalation in the region

It is said that it is true, but ... The US Defense Minister, having visited Ukraine, declares about the "aggression" of Russia, that it was our country that started the war in the Donbass and further according to the training manual. What if not this is pushing the Ukrainian leadership to escalate the conflict. To be honest, the game of giveaway from our side with the Bandera regime has already fed up with most of the Russian people, not to mention the residents of Donbass. We will wait until the American troops officially enter Ukraine, and then it will be more difficult to enforce peace than it is today.

[Nexcom]

She is not sick of it, she is so uh-uh "tired" that there are no words.
(I hope the meaning is clear, there is no other way to write here - they will be banned).
It is high time for Bandera's supporters to apply adequate measures in such cases, and not to lisp with them.

[prior]

Western "friends" are leading Ukraine along the path of self-destruction.
The path is not close. But Ukraine is coping with it.

[ugol2]

Ukraine's importance to the West has dropped significantly

So it will soon be put up for auction. Maybe someone will buy.

[pomor23]

Ukraine has been tasked with strengthening its escalating behavior in the region, and so it has intensified. The junta does not care what the consequences will be during the escalation, the junta and its pre-ze do not care how many Ukrainians and Russians die at the same time, it has other goals and objectives.

I do not believe in any actions on our part. Cowardly and silent position.
