On the verge of a great war

Ukrainian media quoted Poroshenko advisor Yury Biryukov said that the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and was transferred to the US list of military equipment necessary for the country. We are talking about armored vehicles, infantry and artillery weapons.

"Negotiations with the US are ongoing. Negotiations are conducted at the level of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. We recently sent to the United States an updated list of necessities. Discussed and the first tranche of $ 350 million for 3 years, and additional features billion.

The Americans did not say a definitive no, they say it is not decided in the White House, but for now it will take - let's work through. Therefore, work is being done. We are talking about the armor, and weapons "- quoted Biryukova Ukrainian UNIAN news agency.

Recall that last week, a group of Republican senators introduced a Congressional bill that gives the president the right to supply arms to the Government of Ukraine. The document is registered on Thursday in an electronic database of Congress.

Most experts have no doubt that the supply of weapons to Ukraine is very interested in the escalation of the conflict, Washington still starts. It is necessary to Barack Obama to show his "hawks" that he was ready to take decisive action in matters of Russian opposition.

And it is vital to Poroshenko, whose official deliveries of American weapons will let a small, albeit diplomatic, but a victory against the background of continuous failures and defeats.

Meanwhile, speaking at a press conference after talks with Prime Minister of Hungary in Budapest, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the weapons in Ukraine already shipped. "According to our data, the weapon is available now," - said Vladimir Putin, responding to a reporter's question about Russia's reaction to the possibility of arms supplies Ukraine.

And indeed it is. In addition to American small arms, seized on the battlefield in the Donetsk airport and probably used foreign mercenaries, Ukrainian punishers used for bombardment of the city of Donbass American ammunition (and probably American artillery systems), as evidenced by the fragments brought by representatives of the Ministry of Defence of the DNI.

In addition, it is known that the Americans supply Kiev junta automatic control fire drones, modern communication and electronic warfare, and many others. ASIC, the United States pay for the supply of arms Ukraine Eastern Europe.

Thus, in particular, on February 4 at the sea port "October" (Mykolaiv region) from the port of Burgas (Bulgaria) came to the Turkish naval ship «Yasar Abi», sailing under the flag of Panama (identification number 8922395, the owner of the Turkish company «Derin Shipping & Trading»). With his side unloaded about 550 tons of ammunition destined for the Ukrainian insurgents. In particular, 60,000 anti-aircraft cannon shots to the missile system "Tunguska", 40000 VOG-45 and 20,000 VOG-25 grenade launcher, as well as 5,000 rounds of 52-mm and 152-mm artillery guns. The recipient of this cargo does "Ukrspetsexport" and the sender company «Steaven Trading LTD».

All this disturbs not only the residents of Donbass, or Russia, but also Europe.

So, the deputy of the German Bundestag, Member of the German-Ukrainian Parliamentary Group Norbert Shpinrat (SPD) at the VIII Forum Europe-Ukraine in the Polish city of Lodz, said that attempts to solve the conflict by military means in the Donbass, Ukraine provides for the transfer of weapons Western countries, may lead to World War III.

Accuse him of Russian sympathies extremely difficult - Shpinrat reported that Germany unequivocally supports Ukraine in the conflict with Russia, however, and she is suffering from an economic point of view because of the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation.

Member of the Bundestag acknowledged that the Ukrainian government has the right and duty to defend against "Russian aggression" in Ukraine, but advises not to rush into arms of Ukraine, and "allow time for the implementation of the agreements in Minsk and hope for success."

Meanwhile, the threat of war are not only the supply of arms. In recent days, the network has information that NATO aircraft in the next two or three weeks will cause massaging air strike in the event that the fighting will continue in the Donbass.

The possibility of such an attack in Munich, said the commander of NATO forces in Europe Philip Breedlove. There is no doubt that if this information is correct, after that statement the junta will do everything that the world has not come, blaming the failure of the truce defenders Donbass. Such a scenario has already worked out in Yugoslavia, where NATO under the guise of peace enforcement bombed "truce breakers" that constantly "turned out" the Serbs.

If this happens, before Russia will have three options: to give at the mercy of NATO and punitive Donbass, give the DNI and LC effective air defense, or to officially announce Novorossia no-fly zone.

And I must say that the official US arms deliveries can seriously facilitate the implementation of one of the last two points, or both.

It may be added that the early completion Debaltsevskoy epic could seriously complicate Kiev and NATO realization of their aggressive plans. If the boiler fighting will end in the next day or two because of its liquidation, the Kiev have to invent some new provocation. However, it is likely that after the defeat at Debaltsevskogo junta have other worries.
