Churkin: Kiev authorities are preparing a military operation in the Donbass

Kiev does not seek a peaceful settlement of the situation in the east of Ukraine, and there is every reason to believe that a military operation is being prepared there, reports RIA News Statement by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vitaly Churkin.

Churkin: Kiev authorities are preparing a military operation in the Donbass


In his letter to the organization’s Security Council, Churkin noted that steps to stabilize the military situation in the east of Ukraine should go hand in hand with searching for a solution to political issues, implementing measures to de-escalate, including demilitarization of the areas along the line of contact. ”

“However, recent events show that Kiev does not seek this. The exact implementation of the “set of measures" is obviously not part of the interests of the Ukrainian leadership today, ”he stressed.

"There are all the signs that the Ukrainian military is preparing a military operation,"
sure diplomat.

Churkin called on international partners to influence the Ukrainian leadership, "in order to prevent such a disastrous development of events."

Earlier, he noted that in Kiev, perhaps, someone “is experiencing masochistic pleasure because Russia has created some difficulties,” but we need to understand that the crisis, first of all, is harmful for Ukraine itself.

    They write that in August it will burn. I am sure that the team will be given from overseas. All this time the truce was used only for the preparation and training of Bandera.

      Yes, we have cannonade from last night. The floor of Donetsk without light and water.

      Message from the militia with the call sign "Zodiac".

      “Today, in the afternoon, I was on my military affairs at our positions in the northern suburbs of Donetsk. The brothers said that a hot evening was expected from the intelligence service. It was 20, 21, 22 hours, and it was quiet in the northern section. Is the intelligence wrong? Of course, quietly ... The snipers are clapping. One, two 120-ki mines will fly in. A lone UAV is circling, it’s not clear whose. The guys are not firing at it, so it’s ours.
      At 22:30 infa went that the movement began on the Ukrainian side. Small assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in several directions began to move into the gray zone. At about 22:40 mines and shells of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fell on our positions, in several directions at once. Peski-Volvo, Opytnoe-Airport, Avdeevka Spartak and Avdeevka-YaBP. Under their cover, the assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine rose and dashed to reach our positions. Our arta opened a barrage of fire. For about twenty minutes we worked on the infantry and mortars of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After 50 minutes, the Ukrainians calmed down and went to count their losses. Was this another provocation, as politicians say or intelligence in force? I do not know. This kind of reconnaissance in force has been going on since November 2015, it's time to find out for yourself that we have a good defense. But Ukrainians over and over again throw people under deadly fire ... "

        hi, Sergei.
        Ept, it's time to accept it as an axiom that the Banderlog will not calm down, especially now, when there are big problems in "Europe" and the observation of the "Kiev hopak" (and it was purely symbolic anyway) has been completely stopped. Russia in this situation can only hammer and hammer the rest of the "teammates" in the UN, which is what Churkin does. Well, New Russia needs to respond to Bandera provocations in full, maybe even through the coffins something will reach. How many people put these Kiev bastards, stsuki. And NATO leaders are making their contribution with interest. (cry)

      Somewhat unclear. And who is more afraid of the military conflict in Donbass, Churkin or LPNR? As if politically it is understandable, but if in life, then not very much. Well, if after two "Minsk" almost daily shelling of cities with the death of the population does not stop, and no one can stop them, then what to do?

        It seems to me that they will be fucked up according to the scenario 08.08.08 for the Olympics. They will scrape off the men and the entire "progressive" world will blame Russia for the "systematic" manifestation of aggression, and even during the Olympics, when all hostilities must cease.

          So it is, but Lagarde is not the IMF, but merely its managing director. It is likely that this business did not arise in the search for truth, but precisely because Lagarde did not want to give money for the dying Ukrainian project in violation of the IMF charter.

    Here you have the Minsk Agreements. A completely bad world is better than war. But was it worth it to stop the attack on Mariupol in due time. The juntans took a break, rested. They brought the equipment in order, and climbed again. We will be optimistic, we hope for new boilers, such as Debaltsevsky.

      You know, now no one will say what would be the loss on our part, with this assault, and most importantly, how many civilians would lose. Moreover, it was clearly stated at the expense of Mariupol that in this case the United States would begin the direct supply of weapons to Ukraine.

      Moreover, they are already preparing places for the future masses of prisoners of war and the population of the People’s Republics in general for filtering.

    Want to re-engage the Yugoslav scenario? They can’t come up with anything new. The main role is likely to be assigned to the Poles. This pseudo-state must be pretended that in the event of aggression in Ukraine, Russian killings and seizure of territory, all ties with Poland will be severed, absolutely everything. And the Poles will need to be deported from Russia as unreliable, terrorists and bandits.

      Here, in addition to the Poles, there is a whole menagerie of young democrats from the Baltic countries, Georgia and in general it is not clear where.
      And yet, yes. The Yugoslavian scenario is more than likely. Adjusted for local specifics. They will simply ignite Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan at the same time, start large-scale "exercises" in the Black and Baltic Seas, maybe they will also stir up some thread of the Maidan in Siberia, that is, force them to react to a lot of threats, and under this case they will go on the offensive against Donbass. And given the inertia of the system of political reaction, everything may end before the UN Security Council meets for this matter.

    As I previously wrote in the comments on VO that The RF surrounds in the literal and figurative sense from all sides, be it sports or something else. And when this environment is completed, then a blow from all directions will follow simultaneously.Now in my opinion there is reconnaissance in force and just banal blackmail and possibly a bluff. As for the 404 country, it’s just a dumb battering ram in the direction of Russia.
    Nobody canceled that everything will end in Ukraine with a big war. Let's see what happens on August 1, the situation resembles the pre-war one as on June 1941, 22. In my opinion, the bloody civil war did not begin with the Kiev junta so that it just ends.

    Russia will warn and ask until the last, but then it will hurt. I want to believe that the Kiev junta will not have time to dump over the ocean!

    "Western partners" sometimes urge the ersatz-Teftonians to fight again. And they can only be stopped by a specific, unmistakable warning from Russia that with the water renewal of full-scale b / d, the entire military infrastructure, all state institutions, all revealed Banber manpower will be destroyed by air strikes.
    So why these blah blah blah, in the UN Security Council? Who will stop the upcoming operation !?

    I do not understand what role Russia plays in the Minsk agreements. So far, it looks like Russia - this whipping boy - is responsible for everyone. But if, as stated, Russia is the guarantor of the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, then it is time to start guaranteeing, and not to smear the snot, once again, telling everyone, they say. how bad it is that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements. I am sure that if we now recognize the Republics and conclude mutual assistance agreements with them, then the provocations will either stop right away, if the curators are smart enough, or they will be like Georgia in 2008.

    The DPR and Ukraine did not make war; Poroshenko was simply forced to end the war, while neither one nor the other wanted it. Despite the fact that Ukraine wants to resume hostilities and achieve the result that it needs.

    Why is Russia all blah blah blah?
    I will answer this way: everything in this world is changing and the methods of warfare are changing. VVP is a rather intelligent person (imagine if there was a drunk Yeltsin in the place of GDP ???) or rather he can make rational decisions and not emotional ones.
    In the case of Donbass, why it happens this way and not otherwise, I will say this: you and I only know what we are allowed to know (mass media, talk shows, press conferences, and so on). You must admit that a lot of things that we don’t know are happening (in this case, in relation to Donbass). And in this context, how hard it is for the GDP when it makes certain decisions regarding Donbass - Ukraine.
    Regarding American politics, she went all-in and put everything on the line - that’s why there is such pressure on Russia in all directions and the resumption of b \ d in Ukraine on August 1 is quite justified.

    In fact, in confirmation:

    The warship of the 6th US fleet arrived in Odessa to participate in the Ukrainian-American Sea Breeze 2016 exercises.

    It is expected that combat training involving the US ship will take place on Monday at one of the marinas of the Odessa port.

    I remember that before the attack on South Ossetia, the Americans also arranged exercises.
