Results of the week. "In the Greek Hall, in the Greek Hall ... the mouse is white!"
The 16-hour negotiations in Minsk to resolve the conflict in Ukraine broke all negotiation records of modern times. Evening and night away. Plus all morning. Accredited journalists, having received a card on which was written “Minsk. 11 February 2015 of the Year ”, of course, suspected that the negotiations could be delayed, but so much so! .. As a result, journalistic accreditation for 11 February after 3,5 hours after the start of the negotiations of the“ Norman Four ”turned out to be“ overdue ” . The lengthy discussions in the Minsk Palace of Independence, which by definition could not be simple, seemed to end with the appearance of “white smoke from a chimney” - recalling the tradition of electing the Pope of Rome. Some “white smoke appearances” did not wait and settled into an alarming dream right in the press center hall, someone was located on the floor in the hall of the Palace of Independence. As a result, “smoke” appeared, but its color was such that not everyone, even now, can state with a high degree of unambiguity whether it is white or black - did the “reset” take place and the choice of a peaceful solution, or did the negotiations result in nothing?
As it has become customary to say after the negotiations of the “Norman Four” in Minsk, the ball is on the Ukrainian side of the field. And not even so much on the Ukrainian, but specifically on Poroshenkovskaya. “The Dove of Peace” after the appearance of the Minsk document finds itself in, to say the least, a delicate situation. Before Poroshenko there is a stone on which the words are written out: “Go left - under Lyashko (and other radical camarilla) you go, go right - European partners can spit and organize your drain, go straight - you can see Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky in Kiev from an iron cage ... "With such a choice, Pyotr Alekseevich must have least wanted to return to Kiev, and therefore, with an expression on his face in the tram, the burglar thief headed for Brussels, where again he was babbling about Ukrainian economic reforms x "edynoy Krajina" and other heresies, to which a considerable number of Europeans are already thinking sane impose ... and not even sanctions.
Although Poroshenko has a chance. Who will be identified as the culprit if “suddenly” the Minsk agreements lead to nothing? Well, not Peter Alekseevich, at the end of the day ... Fu, how can this “holy” person be suspected of something ...

In the middle of March we had:
1. The illegitimate anarchist power in Kiev.
2. Fully inefficient army of Ukraine.
3. The Society of Ukraine, split 50 / 50 and pronounced structured pro-Russian sentiments along the line Kharkov-Dnieper-Odessa.
4. Shock and confusion of the West after the Crimea.
5. A clear ideology that strengthened our sense of rightness is anti-fascism.
6. Lots of prepositions to make peacemakers.
What results do we have in 4 for a month of brilliant non-lead and non-provocative policies?
1. In Ukraine, there is an officially recognized president. This president is an enemy and a liar.
2. The army of Ukraine gained sufficient combat capability to fight with rebels barely supported by us.
3. The centers of the pro-Russian Russian resistance in Ukraine are suppressed by force everywhere except in the zone of the uprising.
4. The West has found the strings for which you can pull Russian foreign policy, consolidated the 5 column in the Russian elites, and developed a package of anti-Russian measures.
5. Our ideology has been destroyed for months of talking about "miners do not fight," "the main thing is not to succumb to provocations," "if their problems bomb them," and so on ... The message "Russians don't throw theirs" is completely erased by what they really threw.
6. A week ago we could quite reasonably act as peacekeepers. We were “driven away” to the point that we were deprived of this position by provocation with Boeing.
So, having on hand all the trump cards, for the 4 of the month to pro..rat all - this requires an extraordinary political intelligence and talent.
After another 6 months, the result, a semi-pro-political policy in relation to the republics of New Russia.
1.Donetsk, Lugansk, Gorlovka and other cities of New Russia have been turned into ruins ...
2.The total irretrievable losses of the population of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republic are not even worth assessing.
3. The situation of the people remaining in the cities resembles the situation of besieged Leningrad.
4. The military equilibrium on the fronts does not promise in the near future any significant improvements in the situation in the Republics.
5. Western sanctions, with the support of the neoliberal government, began to bring tangible benefits in the destruction of our raw materials economy.
6. The real deliveries of NATO weapons to Ukraine, and the provision of all types of military assistance by instructors and mercenaries began. Even Lithuania is kicking us, and one of the first to join in the "help."
7. If you give control of the border to the Ukrainian fascists, then the Holocaust will seem like a child's game compared to the ethnic cleansing that Kiev will unleash in the Donbas.
Our political leadership has driven the situation into a dead end, and now the West, first of all Europe, has prepared for a military confrontation in Ukraine. If we compare the situation with March last year, this is a complete defeat.
Remember the old joke about two news - one is bad and the other is good.
The bad: The buffaloes went north.
Good: Shit at all enough.

MP with concepts
The excitement around the war criminal Nadezhda Savchenko does not cease. Poroshenko at the talks in Minsk demanded her release and even declared that he managed to get a decision on this issue. Later information was received that the agreement on the exchange of prisoners in the “all-to-all” format does not concern the given prisoner - it is not included in the list. The court meeting, which took place on 10 in February, decided to extend the term of detention in custody until 13 in May to Savchenko.
They say about Savchenko today: this is the only deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, who is in his place ...
And is the benefit of Ukraine itself the release of Ms. Savchenko? There is an opinion that no. Savchenko turned into an “icon” only because she was in a Russian detention facility. Judging by the statements of the Ukrainian press, Savchenko today occupies a position in popularity in the "independent" somewhere between Bandera and the "untimely left" Sashko Bilym ... It is possible that Savchenko is still alive, because he is in Russia. And, based on the current Ukrainian realities, one can expect anything from storytellers from the SBU. Here “Nadya” will return to the house, and they will take in the SBU and remember that she spent not one day in Russia, but several months, and during the meetings she switched to Russian - wasn’t it an hour? .. And you don’t check Kiev will be - a couple of notes on the "Censor" and in the "Ukrainian Truth" - and go, Savchenko, prove that it is not a "Russian spy", not recruited by the "bloody Gebney" agent of the anti-Ukrainian front ... And the extra competitors in the current political field of Ukraine those in power are not needed. So, in Ukraine, the slogan may be particularly relevant: Savchenko's Good Savchenko, sentenced in Russia ...

You brush your tear away. Restructuring
The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, according to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov of Russia, issued a request for the restructuring of the 3 billion-dollar debt. It is worth recalling that these are the very 3 billion, for which Russia bought a certain percentage of Ukraine’s debt obligations. Kiev should start repaying its debt to Russia this year.
According to Siluanov, Russia refused to restructure the Ukrainian side. The Ukrainian side announced this step of Russia another "mortal sin."
No, well, interesting people settled in the Ukrainian government. Perhaps this is generally the first time in stories mankind, when one country declares another country an aggressor and occupier, and at the same time asks to write off debts or postpone debt payments.
And so literally in everything.
We have reduced the consumption of Russian gas, ”Prime Minister Yatsenyuk announced happily,“ Now we don’t care for this cotton wool ...
Russia: and from 2019, we will supply gas to the EU bypassing Ukraine, if the EU needs gas from Russia and Ukraine does not.
Ukraine: Vata! Return the transit! ..
Peculiarities of national logic.
By the way, in Kiev they have already stated that they did not appeal to Moscow with such a request. And what else do they have to say now, in fact, God forbid, besides the garbage rating, there is also a garbage can ...

Roll up in concrete
During the week, the DPR militia managed to completely block the highway that connects Debaltseve with the city of Artyomovsk. Prior to this, the route was swept by militias, but the Ukrainian security forces said that they were able to “slip through” and also receive reinforcements. The cauldron lid shut.
Poltorak Debaltsevsky says that all statements about the existence of the boiler are nonsense, because the Ukrainian military is not one of those who, with such talented leadership, fall into the bags or into the boilers. And if Poltorak Debaltsevsky said that there is no boiler, then of course he does not ... Geletei Ilovaisky will not let him lie, for example ...
These greatest Ukrainian commanders for their services to the Ukrainian Fatherland will forever, as one well-known person says, “cast in granite”. At the same time, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine asks not to confuse the phrase “cast in granite” and “roll in concrete”.

Crimea they share ...
The Ukrainian public is zealous in reasoning about how to deal with the Crimeans, when "Crimea will again become Ukrainian." Larisa Voloshyna, a lady who works as an editor for one of the mouthpieces of clumsy Ukrainian propaganda, Espresso TV, presents her opinion. According to Ms. Voloshin, the authorities will have to make a decision to evict the Russian and Russian-speaking population of Crimea (in Voloshina’s terminology, “wool”), since it was these people who supported the entry of Crimea into Russia.
The Ukrainian journalist literally stated the following: I don’t know what to do with the Crimea ... ”The thought led Ms. Voloshin to this conclusion:
Voloshin’s statement about the “fate of the Crimeans” was picked up by other ukrozombi, suggesting that the Crimea be occupied by ATO veterans after the “return of Crimea to Ukraine”. Veterans "ATO" in the Crimea? No, no, no ... Ukrainian authorities have already reserved land plots for the Heroes in the Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa regions. The area of the plots is small - two and a half meters, but there are so many plots and the depth is suitable ... And this, after all, clearly proves that the government cares about the people. For the coffins on the text messages, money was not even collected by everyone, but they dug enough holes. Heroes "ATO" respect for one hundred percent!

The amazing courage of Petro Poroshenko
The headquarters of the so-called "anti-terrorist operation", located in Kramatorsk, was subjected to massive shelling. In addition, munitions fired from multiple rocket launchers were sent to the warehouses of the Kramatorsk airfield, where, as previously reported, weapon for the APU and the National Guard under.
And here it is necessary for this to happen - the “supreme commander-in-chief” Poroshenko arrives in Kramatorsk on the same day. Not at all afraid of "Russian aggression" and fallen ammunition. On the same day, right at the place of the shelling by “Russian-terrorist troops” ...
But the Ukrainian press reported that "everyone saw" in the sky the "Russian Su-25", which went on strikes not even singly, but in pairs, then, you know, fours. The same press reported an attack on Kramatorsk from the Tornado MLRS, which are in service with the Russian army. Poroshenko himself “confirmed” ... It only remained to write that someone “saw” a dozen other at Kramatorsk tanks Armata and T-50 fighters (PAK FA) supported by Mistrals ...
Poroshenko even squeezed a tear, arguing about what he saw in the city after the shelling. Cynicism rolls over. 5,5 of thousands of dead civilians before this “supreme commander” of the Ukrainian army did not cause tears, and then Peter Alekseevich shed a tear ...
And on the horizon, the Minsk meeting already loomed ... It coincided ...

48 hours
The former chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Harald Cuyat, said on German television that reports that regular units of the Russian armed forces were fighting in Ukraine were propaganda, noting that if this information was true, the war would have ended in 48 hours .
How so? Who is the Russian army going to end the war, if, according to Kiev, the Ukrainian military have already deployed several thousand GRU special forces soldiers in the Donbass and about a dozen Russian airborne divisions? What if the valiant representatives of the "volunteer" battalions destroyed more tanks than they participated in the Second World War. Rumor has it that only one commander Semenchenko “retreating to previously prepared positions” eliminated the order of hundreds of FSB generals and was close to taking the “language” if it were not for the old aching wound received in an even more heroic battle near Ilovaisk "Remnants" of the Russian army will be able to overcome the "Wall" of Yatsenyuk? .. This is to the fact that, as some of our readers write, the enemy cannot be underestimated ...

The planet owed two hundred trillion
Consulting company "McKinsey" (McKinsey Global Institute, MGI) has calculated the national debt of the countries of the world. Having finished the calculations, the experts were horrified. It turns out that global debt since 2007 has grown by 57 trillions of dollars and reached almost 200 trillions. The planet should not be afraid of nuclear war, but a general economic catastrophe!
In Russia, the ratio of household debt, non-financial corporations and the state to GDP increased by 19%, in the USA - by 16%, and in Germany - by 8%. Ireland set a kind of record: its corresponding figure jumped over 7 years by 172%!
What awaits debtors in the future? Looks like nothing good. Government debt is “an inordinate heavy burden” for some countries, MGI analysts say. But debt will continue to grow! The experts made such a conclusion, based on the current situation: after all, many debts were caused by the costs of subsidies and incentive programs associated with overcoming the crisis.

Who was scared of the Russian military bases in Cyprus?
8 February The Russian press was flooded with reports of a powerful strategic move by the Cypriot government. With references to the Chinese agency Xinhua, which in turn referred to Cypriot newspapers, it was reported that President Nikos Anastasiadis was ready to place on the island’s territory Russian aviation and naval bases. Experts rushed to write articles about the new stage of the Cold War between the West and Russia and the fraternal friendship with Cyprus, with the help of which European friends will be defeated. On February 9, it became clear that Cyprus was going to provide Russia with only additional opportunities to use the Andreas Papandreou air base in Paphos. Experts from the network are gone.
Thus, the deployment on the island of Russian aviation, as well as naval bases (more precisely, the lease of existing Cypriot bases) is not in question. Nevertheless, the visit of the head of Cyprus to Moscow scheduled for February 25 will take place. One of its goals will be to update the agreement between Cyprus and Russia: to approve additional opportunities that the Russian Federation may receive in Cyprus when carrying out humanitarian operations or in emergency situations.

"Cuba at our door"
A sensational article appeared in the Italian newspaper Il Giornale about the plans of the new Greek Cabinet headed by Alexis Tsipras. It turns out that Greece is going to withdraw from the North Atlantic Alliance! Italian journalists refer to the program of the party "Syriza". The program mentioned states that all NATO military bases in Greece should be closed in the coming 3-4 of the year, and after this period, Greece must finally decide whether to withdraw from NATO. The Italian newspaper is nervous: "If the Greek Prime Minister Tsipras persists, then we can get Cuba at our doors."
The Greeks were smarter than others - they had long understood that Russia was not going to “occupy” the Baltic States, Poland, Finland and further on the list made up in Washington. And if it is not going to, why do we need this bloc - NATO? The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created for the sake of "taming" the USSR. In other words, in order to counterbalance the powerful Soviet Union in the Cold War, which began after the “hot” World War II. The USSR is long gone, why does NATO exist? For the bombings of Yugoslavia or Libya? And for these cruel goals, acceptable to transatlantic bosses of the military-industrial complex rich in blood, the poor Greeks have to spend money? Comrade Tsipras is right: we must give up everything connected with NATO and leave NATO. Forever and ever!

Boomed mommy
Mrs. Nuland’s statements that NATO will deploy its command centers in six “front-line states” have not pleased at all “front-line soldiers”. Obviously, the State Department spokeswoman thought that if Mommy said, then Eastern Europeans should take a visor. Some people took a visor (for example, Madame Dahl), but something went wrong with the Bulgarians. Maydanna’s baker, Victoria Nuland, and carried them to the front-line ones, but in response, the city center of Sofia was filled with angry people shouting something unpleasant for Washington: “Bulgaria for peace! Never against Russia! ”
Mrs. Nuland, who recently sent the entire European Union to several English letters, is a remarkable character of its kind. Her current position is called “Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs” and she has been taking her since giving place to the press secretary of the State Department, now famous Jen Psaki. But earlier, in 2005-2008, the tireless political lady Nuland served as the US envoy to NATO. Apparently, this position has become so fond of her that Victoria can’t part with thoughts about Russians threatening America and Europe. Therefore, the big question is who “rules” in NATO - Stoltenberg or Nuland.
Another big question is Bulgaria. Unfortunately, it’s not the people who steer the country, but the government devoted to the “defensive” ideals of NATO, the attitude of the people to the people with an American smile ...

It always has been. Bulgarians accept any help, even independence, but thanks to them momentarily. It seems that every moment they are waiting for the next gift. Such here are allies.
And if the Poles are eternal enemies, the Serbs are eternal friends, then the Bulgarians are eternal here and there.
When Russia gains another victory, and the Russian soldier, no matter in what capacity, will march through Bulgaria, the same Bulgarians will greet him enthusiastically. But we should also remember that the Bulgarians are those about whom the beginning of the fast is written.

Master of the situation
The visit of the French President and the German Chancellor to Putin was known in advance. The Russian and Western press made a lot of noise about the negotiations, but they did not bring any concrete results. However, what is interesting is that Hollande and Merkel, as the press writes, agreed on the following plan for Ukraine: a cease-fire, the release of hostages and (attention) the provision of real autonomy to the militia - such an area that will exceed the size previously agreed in Minsk (following the September 2014 meeting g.).
Upon her return, Merkel continued negotiations in Germany - with other actors - P. Poroshenko and J. Biden. Mr. Biden made it clear that the war in Europe is not the goal of the United States, but the sullen Peter Poroshenko in response to a journalist's question about whether the Moscow initiative of the “shuttle traders” Hollande and Merkel could work, grumbled “yes.”
As for Hollande, after the Moscow meeting, he stated that the plan proposed by him and Merkel envisaged the creation of a buffer zone of width 50-70 km along the line separating Ukrainian troops and “separatists”. According to Hollande, the Donetsk and Luhansk region should receive wide autonomy. Hollande's argument: “These people have gone through the war. It will now be difficult for them to lead a common life. ”
It is not surprising that Mr. Poroshenko did not like the plan of Europe! The West "surrenders" Kiev before our eyes!

1. Perhaps, the GDP pulls in with the signing, so that the BCH has managed to "transclaim" the Debalcevsk boiler.
2. If we talk about a cease-fire, then Kiev should give broad autonomy throughout the territory of the LC and the DNI.
3. Dismiss heavy weapons already from the borders of the LC and the DPR (and not from the current line of demarcation) to 50-70 km.
I know that everyone wants more Novorossia = land route to Transnistria + the Dnieper border + return to the bosom of Russian civilization the city of Kiev, the mother of Russian cities, but everything has its time. Do not prevent the enemy from making mistakes - it is impolite. If the above points gain life, then the junta will devour itself, and Valtsman and Co. will suffer the fate of Gaddafi (pushing all the problems into war with all-powerful Russia will not work).
If only the USA would not interfere in this process! And something tells me that they will definitely intervene ... So Europe will have to make a decision: either to disobey its pimp, or to get a real war in its cozy European apartment.
Automatic as a gift
Vladimir Putin paid a two-day visit to Egypt. It was planned to discuss the prospects for the development of Russian-Egyptian relations in the political, trade-economic, humanitarian and other fields. All this has been done. Analysts say that the Moscow and Cairo agreements open up new prospects for Russia in the region and at the same time reduce the geopolitical capabilities of the United States. The president of Egypt received a gift from the president of Russia - a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
A whole delegation arrived in Cairo with Putin: Sergey Lavrov, Alexey Ulyukayev, Nikolai Fedorov (Minister of Agriculture), Alexey Novak (Minister of Energy), Denis Manturov (Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade), finally, Director of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev and Head of Rosatom Sergey Kiriyenko.
Putin’s visit and the impressive delegation of Russian representatives to Cairo indicate that the statements of Mr. Obama and his allies about the “isolation” of Russia are, to put it mildly, an optical illusion. The American president is wishful thinking. And, while it is in the “exceptional” illusions, the Kremlin signs one international agreement after another. The Western world is being ousted from the sphere of Russia's commercial interests.

"Day of the Northern Territories"
Speaking at the annual National Congress for the return of the northern territories (talking about the South Kuriles), Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he intends to seek an early solution to a territorial dispute with Russia. The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation said this: “They are forced to remind once again that the membership of the South Kuril Islands of the Russian Federation is based on the generally accepted results of the Second World War and the inviolable post-war international legal basis, including the UN Charter.”
It is pleasant to note the resolute mood of the staff of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Under the strict guidance of Sergei Lavrov, the department has repeatedly proved its commitment to the interests of Russia. The more relevant (“reminding”) answers to Abe’s “hawk”, the more difficult it will be to play on “territorial” issues in Tokyo.

A hundred cowboys will save Ukraine
Recently, the network has information that since October last year, a hundred Texan cowboys who speak Ukrainian have been employed by the US Army. The source is the most serious: TASS was told about it at the Pentagon. The Pentagon confirmed that the recruitment of specialists under the program “Admission to military service, vital for national interests” is carried out under exceptional conditions: applicants are not even required to have permanent residence in the United States, not to mention American citizenship. Sex also does not matter. These "requirements" for applicants are given in reference to potential recruits sent by the army recruiting center in the state of Texas to the local association of Americans of Ukrainian origin.
A set of Texas fighters in full accordance with the name of the program gives the "national interests" of the United States, which it would be correct to call the interests of the territorial. For the American nation of Ukraine does not belong to any side.
However, perhaps the essence of the program is different. It is possible that B.H. Obama finally launched his “immigration reform”. And now all illegal immigrants with Ukrainian roots, pretending to be cowboys, will be thrown abroad, to the east of Ukraine, where they will find their death.
