The situation with the visit of American military instructors in the USA to Ukraine has the opportunity to be profitable only Petro Poroshenko, who is trying to show to the electorate that the West is ready to help, said the head of the state Duma on CIS Affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots Leonid Slutsky.
About 300 U.S. Marines on the last working day of the week arrived in Lviv, they will teach the Ukrainian military since April 20. Training three battalions of the national guard will be part of About 290 soldiers of the 173rd airborne brigade of the United States, which is based in the Italian city of Vicenza, was told before the Commissioners of the Pentagon.
"There is this concept of win-win Situation. This is when all present events occurring beneficial. Thus Here, the Situation with the us military in Ukraine, if you operate similar terms - lose-lose, " said Slutsky correspondents. In his vision, some battalions of the national guard in the end of the instruction have the opportunity to become " a little more experienced and will raise their own morale. But for the procurement of modern weapons in Kiev in the end, has no money and to apply the IMF loan is not allowed by the rules on which it has been issued, drew attention to the MP.
"Even if funds were available, not to forget the exorbitant level of bribery in the Ukrainian army. Specifically, before the soldiers came almost a tenth of the weapons, the rest would be sold, " explained Slutsky. He also clarified that arrived in Lviv paratroopers USA " irritate the Donbas, where barely established a fragile truce." It is clear that the intervention of a third force, Even in the form of instructors, can disrupt the delicate balance in the East of Ukraine. So, Kiev again fanning the flames of war, though it continues to say that all adhere to the Minsk agreements, " he added. According to Slutsky, this Situation is disadvantageous and Washington.
"European allies, such as Merkel, many times made it clear the US is not to give Kiev Even hint at the possibility of supplying weapons. In defiance of the wishes of Berlin, Obama makes a split in the already suffering from the lack of unity of the European Union. In the Old World could support the peacekeeping role of the United States, But the arrival of the American military in the area of Ukraine is far from peacefully ", - He explained. The MP believes that this visit has the ability to be favorable only to the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
"The Ukrainian head as if showing his electorate - we are not alone, the West is willing to come to our aid. Here only the help confine the instructions for which you will have to pay a further deterioration of relations with the East. Agree, This is a disproportionate cost for satisfying the power ambitions of one man, " said Slutsky.
dialogues " channel four ", held on 12 February came amid a sharp escalation of the situation in the Donbass, provoked by the Ukrainian security forces, which increased the forces began to storm the position of the militia. Following the meeting, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany adopted a set of measures involving, for example, the ceasefire in the Donbas with fifteen February, the withdrawal of heavy weapons and the development of the security zone.
