Kiev loses control of Donbas – What next in Ukraine crisis? By Alan Woods and Francesco Merli
In a rare moment of candour, yesterday, Ukraine’s acting President Turchynov admitted that his forces were “helpless” to quell the unrest in Eastern Ukraine, as the pro-Russian insurgency is on the rise.

It’s not Russia that’s pushed Ukraine to the brink of war By Seumas Milne

Obama’s ‘Strategy’ Against ‘Pariah’ Russia By Pepe Escobar
Yet the sanctions game will persist (like it did with Cuba, Iraq, Iran). The White House is already concocting more of the same. No adults in Europe will follow. Even poodles are able to sniff that the Obama administration does not even qualify to play Game of Thrones on PlayStation 3. Continue reading

Ukraine Crisis Accelerating the Restructuring of the World By Pierre Charasse
The Ukrainian crisis has not radically changed the international situation but it has precipitated ongoing developments. Western propaganda, which has never been stronger, especially hides the reality of Western decline to the populations of NATO, but has no further effect on political reality. Inexorably, Russia and China, assisted by the other BRICS, occupy their rightful… Continue reading

The Time for Negotiations between Russia and the West on Ukraine Has Not Come By Nikolai Bobkin
The White House’s immediate plans include somehow forcing Moscow, first of all, to recognize the legitimacy of the new government in Kiev, and second, to agree to Ukraine’s turning once and for all toward the Euro-Atlantic. The fate of Ukraine itself is of little interest to the Americans, just as they are ignoring the radical… Continue reading

The Anti-Empire Report #127 By William Blum: Indoctrinating a new generation
Is there anyone out there who still believes that Barack Obama, when he’s speaking about American foreign policy, is capable of being anything like an honest man? In a March 26 talk in Belgium to “European youth”, the president fed his audience one falsehood, half-truth, blatant omission, or hypocrisy after another. If George W. Bush… Continue reading

Fraternal Genocide in Ukraine: U.S. Instigating Yugoslav Scenario
The US effort to turn Ukraine into a forward area for positioning NATO bases is paving the way for fraternal genocide and ethnic cleansing in the former Soviet state, repeating the Yugoslav scenario, Aijaz Ahmad, a famous Indian philosopher and political expert said in an article in a leading Indian newsmagazine, Frontline.

Why America Needs a Face-Saving Retreat Plan for Ukraine By Andrew KORYBKO (USA)
The American foreign policy blunders in Ukraine have been colossal, and as it currently stands, it looks as like they have completely backfired. Ukraine rejected the EU Association Agreement in November, only to have a covert Western-led coup usurp power. At that time, American policy seemed to have prevailed, but the flimsy foundation it was… Continue reading

Dear Shaun, I wanted to bring my readers’ attention to your response to my critique of your recent article in the Guardian headlined “Ukraine and Crimea: what is Putin thinking?”.

The Ukraine Crisis and Vladimir Putin: A New Financial System Free from Wall Street and the City of London? By Umberto Pascali
It is Putin, the first leader who resisted and defeated the strategy of world domination, who is enjoying the enthusiastic support of his people and the growing admiration of the world.

Crimea: Putin’s Triumph. Now the Confrontation Moves East to “New Russia” By Israel Shamir
Nobody expected events to move on with such a breath-taking speed. The Russians took their time; they sat on the fence and watched while the Brown storm-troopers conquered Kiev, and they watched while Mrs Victoria Nuland of the State Department and her pal Yatsenyuk (“Yats”) slapped each other’s backs and congratulated themselves on their quick… Continue reading
