Russia's relations with the United States after the signing of the American President Barack Obama of the law " On the freedom support in Ukraine " will go the way of increasing tension, the Americans have the opportunity to start to pull Kiev in some form of partnership with NATO or defiantly will supply him with weapons, says a leading scientist of the Institute of questions of international security, Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Fenenko.

The support act freedom in Ukraine, 2014 Ukraine Freedom Support Act 2014) was signed by Obama on Thursday. The document States that it aims to " punishments concerning Russia and to provide assistance to Ukraine ". The law allows Obama to take further restrictive measures against Russian oil and energy sector, as well as the organization of " Rosoboronexport ".

Increase military assistance to the government of Ukraine devoted a separate Chapter of the law. According to her, " the head of the U.S. is entitled to provide the government of Ukraine products and services in the field of defense to counter the attacks and restore the sovereignty and territorial integrity ". Speech, for Example, is About anti-tank weapons, protivoaritmicheskih radar stations, radars and tactical drones.


Fenenko does Not believe that the Law was signed by the President of the United States Barack Obama, under pressure from Congress.

" Our hopes that someone on someone presses that there Is pressure Congress, and Obama is good and fluffy, Not justified. Nothing like there is close to none. In the United States have formed a consensus view of Russia As a key opponent in the modern world. They behave with us As usual hostile state with a hostile state, " he said Last news .

the expert also believes that, although Not formally binding character of the law, he has the ability to be applied.

" It (the Law) was adopted in order Not to apply. Here are the most flexible form. Have the opportunity to emerge 3 directions. First: demonstrative arms deliveries to Ukraine in order to provoke Kiev mode on the hard steps to cause a new round of sanctions war. You can apply the Law to accommodate specifically American infrastructure in Ukraine to provoke or conclude any agreements On the deployment. There is a third option - the gradual involvement of Ukraine into some form of partnership with NATO, " he added Fenenko.


according to him, the situation will go the way of gradual increase of tension." One of the goals of the USA and great Britain in this conflict is to eliminate the partner relations that had emerged in Russia with Germany. This task brilliantly managed to achieve. Germany became hostile to the avant-garde Russian Federation countries in the European Union, " he added.

the specialist is confident that, as long as the Russian leadership will Not respond harshly to punishment, the pressure will continue.

" As soon as They see that the Russian Federation is ready for a tough response, the situation will change. For example, the Russian leadership is long overdue to stop the transit to Afghanistan for NATO air and ground. It very quickly sober American citizens, They will see that something has to pay for them. If Russia will raise the question, in response to economic punishment it would affect global stability with painful steps to the USA, then the situation will be slightly different, " he concluded.
