If glowed the hope that it will survive in the Ukrainian Debaltseve hands, then blew them Vladimir Putin, speaking during a visit to Budapest. Russian President appealed to Ukrainians to surrender. He talked about their imminent defeat in an ironic tone, even offensive. This does not bode well.
The pro-Russian separatists and Russians from the beginning did not intend to respect the agreements with Minsk. Today, you can see it in its entirety. Dispute continued to whom the Debaltseve. In Debalcewie not stopped the fire, withdrawal of heavy weapons. Symbolic for this war and reproach GRAD rocket fired on the town, where there were several thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and thousands of civilians. Minsk plan at this point is not called.
With Putin had every detail confirm a written commitment. As someone who does not honor the word and liabilities. Is Merkel, Hollande and Poroshenko policies proved to be naive? It was foreseeable that the Russians do not forgive, that they want to get Debaltseve. Show who wins in this war. The expectation that Russia wants to peace, that it intends to abide by the arrangements, it was naive. Russia not only did not withdraw its troops from Debaltseve, did not withdraw or heavy equipment. On the contrary, provided a new weapon.
For several days it was clear that the separatists are trying to shut down the boiler at Debaltseve. Take over the city, an important road and rail junction, allowing them to combine the two self-proclaimed republics folk, Donetsk and Lugansk. And in the future to get ready to conquer the land of the road to the Crimea. But this is not a place that could decide the fate of the war. It has become rather a symbol, the airport in Donetsk. That’s why Ukrainian soldiers defended themselves fiercely, wanted to keep the city.
The forces proved to be uneven. Separatists managed to cut off the road connecting the Artiomowskiem Debaltseve. So deprive the government’s army supplies of weapons, ammunition, food, water. This maneuver was to be expected, not unexpected. Why is the commander of the government troops did not take into account such development action? There are many indications that the Ukrainian leader once again proved to be incompetent, unable to construct a strategic plan. This is the third boiler, after Iłowajsku and Donetsk airport, where he admitted defeat, bloodbath, the death of dozens of soldiers. Others were taken prisoners. Apparently there are also those who have given up in order to save lives.
Is a sense fiercely defend the town, which was not to defend? Have not had to prepare a counter-stroke, do not allow to close the boiler? Ukrainian military certainly will have to explain the reasons for failure, but it will not return life to those who died. There will also improve the morale of the army. Because it is a failure – no doubt. Despite the fact that the Ukrainian authorities are trying to minimize its importance, but about withdrawing from Debaltseve say that it planned action. Directed campaign chief of the General Staff of Ukraine – the same man who led the fight for the airport in Donetsk – has a bad reputation. By subordinates is called the catafalque.
To the east went Poroshenko president wants to personally thank the soldiers for their bravery. But it’s just a gesture. Debaltseve ceased to exist. Even the snow was gone from this place as a result of artillery fire.
As the Russian TV reports, the separatists Debaltseve troops commanded by General Lieutenant Aleksandr Lencow, deputy commander of the land forces of the Russian Federation. This is further evidence of the participation of the Russians in the war. If anyone in Europe had doubts in this respect, it can get rid of them? Russian media showed a conversation with a general, not presenting it with your name or degree, but netizens immediately recognized the face.
As today behave Minsk warranty agreement, Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande? It is known that “Norman format” is to communicate by telephone. In Riga, the defense ministers met the Union, they also want to talk about the situation in Ukraine. That’s what happened, is a breach of agreement. If the underwriters do not react sharply and clearly, the fate of the whole contract signed in Minsk just a week ago and the whole – undeniable – the diplomatic effort is in question.
Ukrainian army retreat from the boiler. Is this the end of agreements with Minsk? – Politics
