View as one page
In the last decade US has grown its network of military bases close to Russia and expanded NATO
Even when Russia had grounded its bomber aircraft, the US continued to fly nuclear-capable bombers in the vicinity of Russian borders
Due to existing deals, the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement would have enabled EU goods to enter Russia tariff-free
Germany, France and Poland did not stick by the February 21st Agreement they had imposed on Yanukovich
Crimea follows the precedent of Kosovo
Ukraine has a future as a large, European country, but for that all its inhabitants must feel at home within its borders
Russia does not want special responsibility for Ukraine. Ukraine is independent, free and sovereign
Concern that Ukraine tolerates people fighting under SS emblems, fear of possible ethnic cleansing
The fundamental cause of conflict in Ukraine is that in the wake of the coup the new central authorities in Kiev sent the army against people who did not recognize them instead of attempting dialog
A negotiated way out of the deadlock in East Ukraine is still possible
Sanctions have been harmful for Russia and everyone else, but there were some positives as well and the Russian economy has grown regardless
"Today there is fighting in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian central authorities have sent the armed forces there and they even use ballistic missiles. Does anybody speak about it? Not a single word. ... This points to the fact, that you want the Ukrainian central authorities to annihilate everyone there... we won't let it happen.
"Russian banks have currently extended a $25 billion loan to the Ukrainian economy. If our European and American partners want to help Ukraine, how can they undermine the financial base limiting our financial institutions’ access to world capital markets? Do they want to bankrupt our banks? In that case they will bankrupt Ukraine."
Russia will not call in loans, wants Ukraine to get on its feet
Germany ostensibly wants the conflict in Ukraine to be solved, but has been reluctant to influence its clients in Kiev to this end
"We are told again and again: pro-Russian separatists must do this and this, you must influence them in this way, you must act in that way. I have always asked them: "What have you done to influence your clients in Kiev?"
Russia and Germany have established a great friendship in the last 10-15 years that it would be a shame to lose
