All started with the visit of by Kiev Boris Gryzlov on 11th January, then Nuland and Surkov met on 15th January the same year, the article about which was released earlier. On 19th January envoys of Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel arrived. Kerri and Lavrov met in Zurich on 20th January. The press-service of the president Poroshenko has reported today about passed of 4 hours meeting with Je Biden behind closed door.
The amount of official visits is simply unprecedented for this week. It is absolutely obvious that statements written as a blueprint lies something more than an attempt by the United States and Europe to force Ukraine to carry out the Minsk agreements.
Apparently, Biden’s speeches in the Verkhovna Rada was not enough to convey to the senior management of the country’s his idea, so he had to spend 4 hours of his time to make it clear “make it hot for” President Poroshenko.
I think that Ukraine was not the only topic that was discussed by high-level representatives of the USA, Russia and Europe. I did not mention Ukraine deliberately in this context, because it is in the discussion could not take part priori. Poroshenko receives only instructions (probably, he tries to get something for him, however, it seems that he won’t manage to do this), “who pays the piper calls the tune”.
Events developed in the Middle East, and very close to us, in Moldavia, confirm once again that the serious fight turned.
At first the US needs until 25 January (meeting between the opposition and the Syrian government) to settle all disputes with Russia, because now it is not possible to take any decision in one’s reasonable direction, disregarding the opinions and desires of the Russian Federation.
The White House is well aware of that and all they try to make the proposal acceptable to Russia with minimal losses for themselves both economically and in the diplomatic aspect. Of course at this club conflicts that the United States deliberately confused, and tried to make the intractable role of Ukraine. Rather, Ukraine is one of the smallest coins, which are traded at the conclusion of any agreements. For instance, news that Iran has intention to get about 400 aircrafts of the company Airbus (http://telegraf.com.ua/mir/aziya/2262497-iran-posle-otmenyi-sanktsiy-nameren-kupit-do-400-samoletov.html). This news look like agreement and you are to remove from us sanctions, and we in our turn invest part of the blocked money in your economy, ordering your aircraft on the bank.
Secondly, I am more than confident that the United States has already felt the full failure of the Government of Ukraine to do at least what they are told, but not what they want. The money coming from the IMF and other organizations is consistently stolen. In political terms, disagreements and infighting are getting stronger day by day. I think that in time of the reading of another statement Poroshenko, Yatseniuk, Klitschko Yaresko, and other members of the government, the US State Department as well as in high offices in Europe, many people take the head and drink antidepressants. What is a number of recent statements and Poroshenko Yaresko for the release of “annexed” Crimea (http://www.unian.net/politics/1242115-yaresko-ukraina-aktiviziruet-protsess-vozvrata-anneksirovannogo-kryima.html). Or rushing of Energy and Mines Minister, who invent new pretexts to appeal to the Court of Arbitration in Stockholm, and make the kind of invincible knight who fights for a cause (http://www.unian.net/1241788-x.html).
Taking to attention all the facts, I´d like to disappoint “patriots of Ukraine” who think that Biden, Nuland and Kerri firmly defend interests of Ukraine, and make to crawl “foul Russians” on their knees at the meetings behind closed doors. They are simply trying to sell you the most expensive. However, there is almost nothing to sell.
P.S. I’ve come across a message that “Public officials of Coca-Cola and Pepsi can be sent to prison. Prosecutor’s office of Crimes started criminal proceeding according to the part 1 art. 364-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. I received official response of the Autonomous Republic Crimea that the criminal proceeding due to the on the grounds of crime under Part 1 of the Criminal Code art.364-1 (abuse of authority) was opened on 11th January.
The crimes stipulated in Articles 110 and 229 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – are being checked,“- the deputy from the party” People’s Front “George Logvinsky wrote on his page on Facebook. (http://www.segodnya.ua/ukraine/skandal-s-coca-cola-i-pepsi-nabiraet-oboroty-prokuratura-vozbudila-delo-684806.html)
For reference: The revenue part of the budget of Ukraine for 2016 – 595.1 billion UAH.
PepsiCo’s net profit for 2010 amounted to 6.3 billion dollars …
Net profit of The Coca-Cola Company for 2013 amounted to 8.5 billion.
Something tells me that, in this case, the pug barking at an elephant. Can the people who make such stupid things to deal with? I think the answer is obvious.
