Mystery of two diplomats: Lavrov - Kerry
The four-hour emergency negotiations between Lavrov and Kerry in Paris, for the sake of which Kerry deployed his plane flying to Washington, ended in vain. Separate press conferences of diplomats allow even talking about failure.
It can be assumed that Lavrov repeated to Kerry the proposals of Moscow, which he had previously talked about on the Sunday Vremya program: about the confederal structure of Ukraine, as a way to preserve its unity, about the need to protect the rights of the Russian-speaking population, including the right to speak their native language, and disarming extremists.
In any case, the US Secretary of State confirmed that the topic of federalization was touched upon, but noted: "We cannot decide for Ukraine." And he immediately demanded that Russia withdraw its troops from its border, they demanded that they "create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation in Ukraine."
In fact, we have long guessed that Kerry and Obama do not decide anything at all. They only do that they repeat the positions formulated by someone, and take time-outs. Who decides for them? - only McCain and Biden know. Is it really for the sake of these long-known, in principle, proposals from Moscow, Kerry deployed a plane to Paris? Perhaps not only.
In the same "Voskresnoye Vremya" Sergei Lavrov announced that the Russian leadership has information according to which the Ukrainian nationalist movement "Right Sector" could lead the shooting of snipers on the Maidan.
And his subordinate Permanent Representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin went even further: he said not so long ago, and on the sidelines of the UN, that a certain American headquarters led the extremists on the Kiev Maidan. A spokesman for the State Department called Churkin's statement a disgusting lie, but ... what if Lavrov has information about this too?
The high diplomats did not say a word about the events on the Kiev Maidan, although Lavrov's mysterious "information" about snipers could be a real reason for Kerry's plane to turn around in order to deliver her where necessary ...
Kerry's demand to withdraw Russian troops from the regions bordering Ukraine repeats, by the way, the State Department's demand for Yanukovych to withdraw police units from Kiev so that they do not intimidate "peaceful demonstrators", that is, Bandera militants.
And this at a time when the latter are already establishing their own order in the eastern Ukrainian regions bordering on Russia, when Yarosh, Korchinsky and other leaders of Ukrainian neo-Nazis openly threaten terrorist attacks on Russian territory and even a partisan war. They have the audacity to claim rights to a number of Russian regions!
In fact, Russia has every right to demand the immediate disarmament and banning of all these Bandera formations, and otherwise it has the right to deal with them itself. On the simple basis of the declared threat of a terrorist invasion.
Russia is now simply obliged to strengthen its border, otherwise how to prevent the penetration of militants? And the United States, in fact, is trying to clear the way for the Bandera militants to Russia, as they cleared it in Kiev. And they cover it up politically.
... It is interesting that the meeting of high-ranking diplomats took place at the Russian embassy, away from the all-hearing ear of the NSA-CIA? Lavrov noted that the negotiations were "constructive". By doing this, he actually gives Kerry a chance to be constructive.
Lavrov puts pressure on Kerry, but does not drive him into a corner, does not accuse, for example, the United States of participating in the coup in Kiev. Although he could repeat the words of his subordinate Churkin, say that the American instructors stood behind the militants of the "Right Sector", and now the American embassy in Kiev is behind the Yatsenyuk-Turchinov government, in response to the US accusations of the "annexation of Crimea." A sly fox, this Sergei Lavrov, who in the United States "is customary to hate."
As a result, John Kerry promised to "create an atmosphere" for the discussion of Moscow's proposals by the Kiev government, Sergei Lavrov promised no one knows what, but in such a way that Kerry had to promise to "create an atmosphere" day…
