Germany calls for second Geneva meeting on Ukraine’s crisis
Posted by seumasach on May 5, 2014
There has been a marked shift in the Western media over the last day or two beginning with Seumas Milne’s article in the Guardian and followed by an expose of CIA activity by the German paper, Bild and an article in the NYT contradicting the Russian provocateur narrative over East Ukraine. The “anti-terror” offensive from Kiev appears to be going nowhere since the Ukrainian army continues to show reluctance to confront ordinary Ukrainian citizens. Without a leg to stand Western leaders would do well to re-engage in a conflict which they themselves have provoked and are in every position to resolve.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Sunday called for a second international conference to put an end to the crisis in Ukraine. He said he made the proposal in telephone conversations on Sunday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, US Secretary of State John Kerry, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
