It looks as though the planned summit between President Trump and President Putin may be
cancelled.
Helga, this was obviously the intention of this Ukrainian provocation in the Sea of Azov.
What do you know?
How has this thing unfolded?
And it's clear that the target was to prevent this summit from taking place.
Well, I think it has all kinds of features, but we always knew that one of the danger
points of a possible war was on the one side, Syria, and
on the other side, the situation between Ukraine and Russia.
And while I tend to agree with Gen. Harald Kujat, who in a Phoenix interview basically
said there needs to be a full investigation of what actually happened before one takes
sides.
Nevertheless, the whole {cui bono} and the whole situation is that Poroshenko has been
trying to provoke things already for almost the whole year.
There was an incident, where in March, the Ukrainians basically captured a Russian fishing
boat, and now the coup: And people know what happened, that Ukrainian warships approached
the Strait of Kerch from the side of the Black Sea in
the direction of the Sea of Azov, but without announcing themselves, which is the rules.
And now, the sailors, they actually captured and interrogated; written instructions were
found on them, saying they should absolutely proceed in secrecy and not make their approach
known.
So it really looks like an absolute staged provocation, and that is exactly what Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, what Foreign Minister Lavrov said.
Actually, I think the Lavrov statement was the most interesting, because he said that
this is planned provocation conducted by the same forces who want to destroy the Trump
Presidency altogether.
And I think that that is absolutely on the mark.
If you look at such outfits like the Atlantic Council and the entire neo-con, trans-Atlantic
network.
Now, this is obviously not the end of the story.
And how insane this whole thing is, you can see by the fact that the General Secretary
of NATO, Stoltenberg, basically immediately said that NATO is without any question fully
on the side of Ukraine.
And with a delay of two or three days, Putin actually made a statement yesterday, where
he said that the biggest problem in this crisis is that the other nations all the time take
the side of Ukraine, and that that encourages the Ukrainian government actually to go further
and further in their provocation.
And then Putin, in a sort of ironic fashion, said, if they would propose to eat babies
for breakfast, the West would absolutely go along with it.
And this is indeed the danger, that you have such war-mongers, like the Atlantic Council,
but also the British new General Chief of Staff, Carleton-Smith, who basically said
that Russia is a bigger problem than ISIS or al-Qaeda, not in the context of the Ukraine
crisis, he said that, but in general; and naturally, such outfits as the "Integrity
Initiative" which we should talk about in a second.
Fortunately, it is obviously clear to many governments in Europe otherwise, that this
has the potential of going completely out of control, so most of them said there should
be a de-escalation, appealing to both Russia and Ukraine.
And one can be sure that this will be a hot issue at the G20 meeting in Buenos Aires.
But this is an extremely, extremely dangerous situation.
Poroshenko, as most people by now know, declared martial law.
He wanted it for 60 days, but because of the opposition, including from Mrs. Timoshenko,
he could only get 30 days.
But our friend, Natalia Vitrenko, made a webcast where she said that the danger is that Poroshenko
plans to have a dictatorship, and if you have 30 days, after 30 days you can announce another
30 days, because that has been the previous pattern in Ukraine.
So I think we are really at an extremely dangerous point, because if NATO would indeed sent flotillas
into the Black Sea, or even the Sea of Azov, as it has been demanded by one of the leading
representatives of this Integrity Initiative, Edward Lucas, who said that NATO should send
entire flotillas into the Sea of Azov, and others demanding heavy, lethal weapons to
be supplied to Ukraine -- I mean, this is the stuff out of which World War III could
easily be triggered.
I can only say, if the summit between Putin and Trump does not take place -- the latest
was that Peskov at some point today said they would briefly greet each other and then maybe
meet for one hour on Saturday; now, one hour, given that it was mentioned all the subjects
which were supposed to be discussed, the INF Treaty, Ukraine, Syria, terrorism, and many
other issues -- obviously one hour is absolutely not enough.
But Trump said he hopes to have a meaningful summit in Washington, soon.
I think that is good, but I can only say, be on absolutely super-high alert, because
this is a very, very dangerous escalation.
