Il Patto d’acciaio Roma-Kiev sotto l'ombra della CIA

Manlio Dinucci

L’ “Accordo sulla cooperazione per la sicurezza” tra Italia e Ucraina, siglato a Kiev dalla premier Meloni e dal presidente Zelensky, non è una formale dichiarazione, ma un vero proprio patto militare che rende l’Italia paese belligerante nella guerra contro la Russia.

ERIC ZUESSE -- What Is Blocking a Peace-Agreement Between Putin & Zelensky

 

What Is Blocking a Peace-Agreement Between Putin & Zelensky

 

Eric Zuesse, March 22, 2022

 

On Monday, 21 March, AP reported that “Zelenskyy said that Kyiv will be ready to discuss the status of Crimea and the eastern Donbas region held by Russian-backed separatists after a cease-fire and steps toward providing security guarantees.” This milestone is the very first time that Zelensky has said that there might be circumstances under which “the status of Crimea and the eastern Donbas region held by Russian-backed separatists” could even possibly be negotiated by Ukraine’s government. All Ukrainian-government leaders, after U.S. President Barack Obama perpetrated in Ukraine a violent coup which overthrew Ukraine’s democratically elected President and installed a U.S.-controlled rabidly anti-Russian government in Ukraine in February 2014, have said that Ukraine will never consider the status of those two former regions of Ukraine to be negotiable.

 

So: Zelensky is now saying that “after a cease-fire and steps toward providing security guarantees,” Zelensky would negotiate “the status of Crimea and the eastern Donbas region held by Russian-backed separatists.” This is the first major change-in-position by EITHER side in the present conflict, and the fact that it is being made by Ukraine is indisputable proof that militarily Russia is winning the war.

I have avoided writing anything on recent events in Ukraine thus far, partly because I wanted to see how events were panning out, partly because I still don’t quite understand how this all fits in with the two year Globalist PsyOp that ended abruptly on 24^th February – the same day as the Russian military operation started, as coincidence would have it – but mainly because the experience of trying to write rational analysis in the midst of propaganda that would have made the editors of Pravda blush is no easy task.

As a brief defence against those who will inevitably smear my attempts to analyse the context behind all this as somehow pro-Russian, let me ask them not to bother. I really don’t even understand the frame of reference, since I don’t view the world in the absurd black hat/white hat terms that lead to such jibes. And in any case, I am pro-God and pro-Truth, as well as being a patriotic Englishman who writes on such topics because he believes this once green and pleasant land is now run by terminally foolish clowns and Globalist ideologues who do not govern for the people but in the interests of others. I would also point out that I was writing about atrocities committed against Ukrainians years before it became fashionable to do so. However, unfortunately it seems I was supporting the wrong Ukrainians — the ones nobody cares about — in the Donbass, who have been killed, terrorised and forced to leave the country by their own brutal Government for eight years, with some even deliberately burned alive by the neo-Nazis formations that apparently don’t exist. Those caveats aside, let’s press on.

For most Westerners, it appears that the current conflict suddenly dropped from the sky one morning in February 2022. They woke up to hear about a Russian invasion, and without any prior knowledge or context, having been denied this for years by their so-called free press, simply accepted the narrative thrown at them that this invasion was utterly unprovoked — the brainchild of a madman who wishes to recreate Hammer and Sickle Land again.

None of this is remotely true. Whatever the actual reasons for invading at this particular time — and I don’t believe for one moment that we have the full picture yet — this conflict most certainly did not drop out of the sky or from the ravings of a lunatic on 24^th February 2022. No, it is part of a sequence of events that was set off years ago, particularly in 2014, which were clearly destined to reshape the world. As I wrote back in September 2014:

“I believe this crisis to be the defining crisis of the 21st Century so far. … It is also something that may well define the shape of the planet for the rest of the century — whether we are left with a unipolar world … or whether we see a new multipolar world emerging … It is in a very real sense the key battle between globalisation and national sovereignty.”

The Paris talks on Ukraine have enabled Putin and Zelensky to meet for the first time. But they have agreed only to kick the can down the road, to agree to disagree, while seeking progress on issues other than the war in Donbass.

It would be difficult to exaggerate the weakness of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s position. He is a political novice facing perhaps the most experienced and formidable statesman in the world. Although an intelligent man, the former TV comedian says he likes to do things quickly. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin, by contrast, is known for his extreme attention to detail and for his propensity to play a very long game.

Putin is not in a rush. Zelensky is, because time is not on Ukraine’s side. The country has avoided default by a whisker only by negotiating a new IMF loan to pay off the old one taken out five years ago and due for repayment this year. 

The gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 is about to be completed, partly sidelining Ukraine as a transit country for European gas, thereby reducing both its political clout in Europe and, crucially, its revenue from transit fees. Zelensnky needs a new agreement with Gazprom by the end of this year, i.e. in the next three weeks. It is not yet in the bag.

The worst development for Ukraine, however, is in the US. Trump’s enemies, who are seeking to impeach him over Ukraine, are above all horrified at what they thought was Trump’s desire to stop arming the country.

Vladimir Zelensky declared more than once that his first priority as a President of Ukraine is a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass. However, his current actions are not at all in line with the promises he had made to the Ukrainian people.

Instead of proceeding with the consistent implementation of the Complex of Measures for the fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements Zelensky continues Poroshenko’s policy in its worst manifestations: the peaceful localities of the Donetsk People’s Republic can feel the frequent shelling by the artillery of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, he openly declares information warfare against the population of Donbass.

Zelensky does not hear the opinion of his own people: Ukrainian polls show that people are tired of the war and want to stop it; more than half of them spoke in favor of the direct negotiations with the leaders of the Republics. After this, it is not surprising at all that Zelensky does not hear the voice of the residents of Donbass who are tired of intensification of the shelling and ask him the sharp questions in a video message format.

It is easy to find hundreds of videos online which are recorded by the residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic with the only request to give Donbass the special status and the right to integrate with Russia. Each of them contains an appeal to punish those guilty of war crimes, stop shelling and lift the economic blockade and to return the civil rights violated by the previous government headed by Poroshenko.

Already more than 500,000 people have supported this initiative and every day their number is only increasing. The demands of our citizens are based on the principles of law and morality and they are nothing more than a desire for peace which of course is supported not only by me but also by my colleagues from the authorities of the Republic.

I join this campaign and urge all the residents to post their photos on the website "Choice of Donbass"!
Our goal is to make Kiev recognize the legal rights of the whole Donbass!
