Большие маневры Киева – военный и политический аспекты

Abstract

The Ukrainian government refuses to implement the Minsk agreements in order to resolve the conflict in Donbass. After unsuccessful attempts to change the key points of these agreements in its favor Kiev has made a bet on a military solution of the conflict. However a real threat of Russian intervention has forced Ukraine to temporary abandon its aggressive plans. Along with preparation of a military offensive in the east, Bankovaya has launched a massive attack on the “western front”, trying, on the pretext of “Russian aggression”, to make its Western partners adopt a number of decisions in its interests.
