US preparing provocations in Ukraine

07.07.2016

United States President Barack Obama arrives on a visit to Warsaw today. US Secretary of State John Kerry, meanwhile, is already in Ukraine. The visits of dignitaries come on the eve of the Warsaw Summit of the North Atlantic Alliance, which must approve a tougher strategy towards Russia. Kerry and Obama's visit coincided with the next aggravation of the situation in Donbass.

The aggravation game

The US uses Poland and Ukraine to form a cordon sanitaire along the border with Russia. Poland is a priority country for the placement of additional US troops in Europe, which must be approved by the Warsaw Summit. The worsening of the situation in Donbass is also included in the plans of US strategists. Another aggravation during the NATO summit is necessary for the United States in order to be able to accuse Russia of violating the Minsk agreements and make it easier to hold an anti-Russian initiative at the summit.

Concerns of Russia

Russia understands the strategy of the US. On the eve of the visit of Kerry to Ukraine, a conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry took place, during which Lavrov drew attention to the emerging information about the intentions of Kiev, which may trigger the resumption of full-scale hostilities in Donbass, and urged Washington to make an effort to prevent such a development. Thus, in the language of diplomacy, Russia warned the United States that it knew about their plans to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
