Kiev, NATO Step Up Threats Against Russia!

• “Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not want war, nor does she fear it.”
  – Vladimir Putin to the western elites: World War 3 is inevitable!

• Kiev, NATO step up threats against Russia!

  Following the attacks on Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Brisbane, fighting has intensified in eastern Ukraine. Each side has accused the other of responsibility.

  The Kiev government feels strengthened by the international campaign against Putin. At the beginning of September, the US- and European Union-backed regime agreed to a ceasefire in the face of imminent military defeat at the hands of Russian-speaking separatists. Now it is adopting an increasingly bellicose approach, counting on the support of NATO members who are themselves stepping up their military and diplomatic pressure on Moscow.

  On Tuesday, Kiev claimed that four of its soldiers had been killed within 24 hours. The self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Donetsk (DVR) reported 17 violations of the ceasefire by the Ukrainian army over the same period, and said at least ten civilians had been killed. In Luhansk, the separatists reported five violations of the ceasefire.

  Each side accused the other of massing troops and heavy artillery. Andrei Kelin, Russia’s ambassador to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), appearing on the state television program “Russia Today,” said, “Troops are continually being deployed along the dividing line. This raises the suspicion that the Ukrainian side is preparing a large-scale lightning attack.”

  The Ukrainian Treasury confirmed that a war tax imposed over three months ago had already raised $93 million, which is to be used to equip the army.

  NATO echoed the claim of the Kiev regime that the separatists were massing troops and Russia was moving forces to its border with Ukraine. “It’s about troops, material, artillery and very modern air defense systems,” said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday. “This represents a serious military buildup and we call on Russia to withdraw its troops,” he added.

  After a meeting in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier described the situation in Ukraine as a “really serious crisis for peace in Europe.” He continued: “We are at something of a crossroads. Twenty-five years after the fall of the wall, we once again face silence instead of dialogue…confrontation rather than cooperation.”
