UKRAINE TRUCE CHANGES NOTHING !

It is regrettable but true, the Truce hammered out and signed by Putin,  Merkel, Hollande and President Poroshenko of Ukraine, which should come into force at midnight tomorrow, February  14, 2015, lacks the intention necessary to ensure a real cease-fire !

Press reports during negotiations and after the signing of the "Agreement" reveal that countless Tanks, Armoured Vehicules and Artillery Units crossed from Russia into Eastern Ukraine to help Russian Rebels to, as Putin always says, "defend" themselves !

As with previous agreements, any lull in the fighting is used to consolidate territorial positions gained before the official start of the cease-fire and afterwards to win more land and strategic positions ! 

Putin is fully aware of what is going on !  He can no longer glibly deny that Russia does not help the Rebels.   Nor can he pretend that he is defending or protecting Russians living peacefully in Eastern Ukraine from agression by Ukrainian Nationalists ! 

Western politicians must not be naïve !  NATO Generals know what needs to be done !   Putin wants to keep Crimea and to ensure this he needs more of South and Eastern Ukraine !  He has already done all that is needed to achieve his dream !
