The "stillborn" Truce hatched in Minsk and signed by all parties last week, has been violated repeatedly by the ethnic Russian rebels. They have not missed any chance to entrench their positions and gain further important footholds, thanks also to the help of more soldiers and armaments provided by Moscow !
Putin has obtained more than he could ever have hoped before negotiations began in Minsk ! In the end there was no real agreement, but everyone signed !
Why did the West not immediately increase their Sanctions against Russia ? Why did NATO not strengthen its footholds on the borders with Russia ? Putin has now again ordered Russian Combat Aircraft to survey the Mainland of Britain and France by flying down the English Channel, or "La Manche" !
Must it be continually repeated that Putin has every intention to retain Crimea and wants more than just Rebel held Eastern Ukraine ? That he will not stop even if he gets Mariopol in Southern Ukraine, because he wants a land corridor from Russia to Crimea !
If the West is just waiting for the Rouble to collapse this Spring, this gives Putin more time to get this corridor !
