Die Anerkennung von Donezk und Luhansk als unabhängige Staaten durch Russland und die Entsendung von Militär ist ein Bruch des Minsk-II-Abkommens, das durch UN-Sicherheitsratsbeschluss Völkerrechtstatus hat. Dies dreht die Eskalationsschraube weiter nach oben, erhöht die Spannungen und verschärft das Kriegsrisiko. Diese Entscheidungen sind die Reaktion Russlands darauf, dass die Ukraine die Umsetzung von Minsk II mit Duldung des Westens seit acht Jahren blockiert und eine Veränderung dieser Situation und der damit verbundenen unerträglichen Lage der Menschen in der Ostukraine nicht … Continue reading →

War Resisters’ International condemns the preparations for war by NATO and Russia, who are currently considering military responses to the current political crisis in Ukraine. If war does start it will bring death, destruction, suffering, mass displacement, economic crisis, and many other consequences. We also want to express our solidarity and support to peace movements in Ukraine and Russia as they resist the move to war. We call upon the people of Ukraine and Russia in the first place, but … Continue reading →

Tensions between NATO and Russia – two nuclear-armed powers – are reaching alarming proportions. We call for an end to this confrontation: if it doesn’t end, everyone will lose. Ukraine is already paying a heavy economic and human price as a result of these hostilities, unnecessarily stirred up internationally and nationally. Following this politics of confrontation to its logical conclusion means that many people will die. Continue reading →

(Video from the webinar: webinar-discussion-about-the-dangerous-us-nato-russia-ukraine-maneuvers-2021-05-05-video/) My main point is to urge you against seeing whole problem only in the Ukraine crisis. Let’s see the big picture. War in Ukraine started in the interests of superpowers. It is a war for status quo, for a cold-war-like world. United States and Russia treat Ukraine and European Union like a chessboard … Continue reading →

NATO Expansion: An Idea Whose Time Has Gone?
The Ukrainian government has issued a new request for an Action Plan leading to NATO membership, even as the situation on the ground between Ukrainian and Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine has deteriorated badly, as have U.S.-Russian relations.
What is going on?? And how dangerous is the situation?
Speakers are Bruce Gagnon, Elizabeth Murray, Yuri Sheliazhenkol, Reiner Braun
by Ray McGovern Posted on April 15, 2021 President Joe Biden has now taken a waiver on the “unwavering”, full-throated support that he, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had been giving to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The recurring “unwavering” meme was played right up until late Tuesday after Biden’s telephone talk with Putin Tuesday. https://original.antiwar.com/mcgovern/2021/04/14/biden-and-blinken-blink-on-ukraine/

Speakers are Bruce Gagnon, Elizabeth Murray, Yuri Sheliazhenkol, Reiner Braun Events in the U.S./NATO/Ukraine challenge to Russia have been moving at a frenetic pace. Ukraine increased deployment of military troops to the eastern provinces on the border of Donbass. Russia predictably responded by mobilizing a large part of its military to meet the Ukraine threat. In another incident, the US publicized two U.S. warships heading into the Black Sea; Russia … Continue reading →

With the recent construction of US Aegis-Ashore ‘missile defense’ (MD) bases in Romania and Poland (that could also fire nuclear-capable Tomahawk cruise missiles that could reach Moscow in 10 minutes) as well as current deployment in the Black Sea of Navy Aegis destroyers with MD systems on board, it seems crucial that world citizens should have a greater understanding of … Continue reading →
Pentagon establishes air bridge to Ukraine
More deadly equipment may be on its way to Donbass [likely drones, communications devices, ammunition]
Another U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster military transport aircraft has recently arrived in Kiev from the Ramstein airbase in Germany.
The nature of the cargo on board the American transporter is unknown. But there is no need to guess since the U.S. military authorities have more than once stated and proved support of the Ukrainian [Nazi] forces.

I certainly realize that there are more than a few neo-Nazis and fascists in the powerful and influential right-wing of Ukraine. As Faulkner wrote, the past isn’t dead, it isn’t even past. That said, as we prepare a webinar about Ukraine, we do need to take accounts like the one that follows here into consideration. Reality is rarely either/or or black and white.

Die USA liefern Militärausrüstung und Waffen für 60 Mio. US-Dollar an die Ukraine.

U.S. Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti’s comments are US-Russia game changer By L. Todd Wood – – Wednesday, May 4, 2016 In a little covered news story that could have major ramifications for the geopolitical landscape, the new Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, U.S. Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, says the alliance should possibly arm Ukraine in its struggle against pro-Russian separatists in East Ukraine. This is a game changer for the Kremlin and for U.S.-Russian relations. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/4/l-todd-wood-new-nato-supreme-allied-commander-alli/

So gibt der Bericht beispielsweise keinerlei Hinweis darauf, welche Art Geschosse die Maschine getroffen haben; das wäre von Bedeutung, um zu rekonstruieren, ob die MH17 tatsächlich vom Boden aus abgeschossen worden ist.
