Desire some forces in the West to deliver lethal weapons Kiev shows a complete misunderstanding of the situation in the East of Ukraine and increases the probability of the cast to war, which cover the whole of Europe, Professor at the faculty of political science and international relations, University of Kent (UK) Richard Sakwa.

Western proposals for military support of Ukraine are based only on the assumption about from the Russian militia in the Donbass. However, the United States should pay attention to the fact that the militias are an independent force, which promotes their desires. It is Moscow in September last year stopped the attack militias in Mariupol, which at that point they could quite easily take, and insisted on holding peace talks in Minsk, emphasizes a British scientist.

Western leaders are too simple explanation Ukrainian conflict, blaming all of the President of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, and at the same time, even the chief of the General staff of the Ukrainian army Victor Murzenko acknowledged that there is no Russian invasion of Ukraine, reminiscent of Richard Sakwa.

currently what is happening in Ukraine could be called a " civil war ", and the great powers took different sides of the conflict. However, ill-conceived and dangerous proposals arms of Kiev throw more wood in the fire of conflict. The West should seek to stop the suffering in Ukraine, and not to Stoke the flames that engulf the whole of Europe, says British scientist.
