On Thursday, July 7, is expected to visit to Ukraine Secretary of state Kerry don. Because on the official website of the state Department failed to find the announcement, while this is only speculation, though reasonable.
Let us state the assumption that the visit did take place, but special announcement we can not wait. This is due to the fact that this visit should take place on the eve of the NATO summit in Warsaw, where it will arrive US President Barack Obama. From this it follows that the subject of negotiations in Kiev will definitely not concern matters unrelated to the military sphere.
Observers note that the Summit is expected to formalize a common position of NATO against the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation, demonstrated in the last two years. In fact, this topic is already overdue. NATO slowly and gently respond to things that just can't pass by attention. At least two things needs to obtain adequate and very tough assessment of the Alliance.
The first is the actual refusal of Russia from the USSR, signed in 1975 the Final act of the conference on security and cooperation in Europe. This document fixed the boundaries of the States and declared them inviolable. Putin has brought Russia from the operation of this act immediately after the formal confirmation of the annexation of Crimea. It should be noted that some signers of this document led military action after the entry into force of the document, but no country who signed the act did not occupy a single inch of foreign land. After Adolf Hitler is in Europe, we decided to do only Vladimir Putin.The lack of adequate reaction of sane countries for this act of aggression creates a precedent, puts a mine not only under the security of Europe, but under the foundations of the modern world.
Maintaining normal relations must find a formal explanation of what the aggressor has forgiven his aggressive actions and why he was allowed to do. As soon as this formalization, the world we know now will cease to exist. Then any country can run hand in their own ancestral or sacred, and try to chop off from a neighbor that once belonged to him. That is, the Act of Helsinki would be completely disavowed.
If other countries understand that Helsinki should be strictly followed, then the offender should not just be punished, severely and irreversibly punished in that no one came to mind again. Spanking should be significant and bloody.
The second – Putin, out of the blue, went to the argument of the height of the Cold war and started waving the nuclear club. Moreover, it documented the real threat to Ukraine is non-nuclear countries. Moreover, his threats are addressed only in human history, the country renounced its nuclear Arsenal, at that time third in the world in the scale. And that's not all, the nuclear club, raised over the country that gave Russia its nuclear weapons and that Russia undertook to protect her in case of threats to territorial integrity.
But not one Ukraine became the object of threats. Vice-speaker of the lower house of the Russian Parliament has explicitly called for the use of nuclear weapons against Turkey, Germany and the United States. Moreover, from the parliamentary rostrum he was required to destroy all Germans. If it was the ravings of a madman, the Kremlin official was obliged to send the patient to the appropriate medical facility and instantly give a refutation and apologize to all the mentioned countries. None of this happened. This means that the Kremlin shares the point of view of the possessed parliamentarian.In short, senior officials moved to the rhetoric, which did not allow himself even the Soviet Union since Khrushchev.
Given the fact that along the borders of NATO countries flying again Russian Antiques, called strategic bombers, all this should be seen as a real challenge. The word, followed by business. If these attacks do not give an adequate response, the hysteria isn't going to calm down. These people stop only when they get a heel to the jaw. It was and will be, until the last well, then do not freeze.
Thus, at the NATO summit have something to discuss. And they are waiting for some surprises for the Russian Federation. What kind of surprises we'll see. And here the day before the meeting of the heads of state of NATO members, the foreign Minister, the U.S. plans to meet with the leadership of Ukraine, then immediately join the US President in Warsaw. Such a maneuver is really intriguing. However, we are aware of the firm position of the US President that before the end of his second term States does not intend to supply Ukraine lethal weapons, if Russia does not resume active operations.
What will happen in this case, we can only guess. For example, we all know, on several grounds, the military of the NATO countries, almost constantly conduct joint exercises with units of the APU. It is also known that for exercises, in Ukraine, transferred to regular equipment and weapons NATO sample. What and how many – nobody knows. We only know that our soldiers learn weapons and equipment. Just in case. In addition, slips and times reports that NATO has already organized base for storage of weapons on the territory of Poland, close to the border of Ukraine.Also – just in case.
But we believe that the lack of supply of lethal weapons, NATO and the United States does not mean that the APU can't have them. About a year ago NATO opened for Ukraine database components, military equipment and weapons. That is, Ukraine can choose the components and assemblies, elements and components to create your own weapons. It does not say, but Ukraine is not Zimbabwe or even Indonesia. We have our own defence industry, capable to make very good weapons. Another thing is that in 25 years the APU almost did not buy anything new and the defense industry faded, focusing on Russia.Therefore, the fact that Ukraine can produce as final products has many components manufactured in Russia and on the contrary, Ukraine produces a lot of components for a specific type of weapon, but has a complete production chain and final Assembly. Broken integration with Russia initially put our defense in a difficult position, but now the West has given us their pantry where you can choose what is left in Russia, but better quality and more advanced.
Roughly speaking, we are somewhere at the stage when you can get everything you need to collect and it becomes a lethal weapon. Perhaps these issues will be discussed during the visit. But most likely, there will be synchronized joint motion of the United States and Ukraine, in the light of the NATO summit, which will determine the future policy toward Russia. It is clear that most discussions will be tightly closed and certainly not to be announced. However, we intend to get back to this thread until Thursday, you may be able to produce something interesting.
