Ukraine, Separatists Agree On Cease-Fire; EU May Suspend Sanctions

Tyler Durden's picture




 

UPDATE: So far no good...*HEAVY ARTILLERY BLASTS HEARD IN UKRAINE'S MARIUPOL: RIA

While we had grown weary of trashed truces and snapped cease-fires in Israel, it appears, according to Interfax, that Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine (having gained notably over the army in recent days) have agreed a cease-fire:

  • *UKRAINE, SEPARATISTS AGREE ON CEASE-FIRE FROM 6PM TODAY: IFX
  • *POROSHENKO: PRELIM. PROTOCOL TO CEASE-FIRE SIGNED IN MINSK: BBC

Great news, especially for Merkel (and Hollande) who has already come out and noted that the cease-fire means EU could suspend sanctions (saving face and avoiding some further escalation). The question is - how much of Putin's 7-point-peace-plan will Ukraine acquiesce to? If any?

As WaPo notes,

Poroshenko did not specifically address the “Putin plan,” as it was dubbed by the Kremlin, but he said that the time had come to end the conflict.

 

“The first task is peace,” Poroshenko said in a statement. “Today at 5 a.m. I spoke to President Putin about how we can stop this horrible process. There is no denying that people must stop dying.”

As The BBC reports,

Ukrainian President says preliminary protocol to a ceasefire agreement has been signed in Minsk. Hope that ceasefire might start later

  • GOVERNOR OF UKRAINE'S DONETSK REGION CONFIRMS UKRAINE PEACE PLAN SIGNED, AWAITING DETAILS OF PLAN
  • *UKRAINE REBELS READY TO STOP FIGHTING: PLOTNITSKY

As DPA adds,

Ukrainian government representatives and leaders of the pro-Russian separatists in the country's east sign a bilateral ceasefire agreement that goes into force later Friday, the Interfax news agency reports exclusively.

 

The 14-point agreement also regulates the monitoring of the ceasefire and prisoner exchanges. It was signed after almost two hours of talks in the Belarusian capital Minsk.

The self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic has confirmed the ceasefire agreement on its official Twitter account.

European leaders are happy (for now)

  • *MERKEL SAYS VERIFIED CEASE-FIRE COULD SUSPEND ANY SANCTIONS
  • *MERKEL: ANY FURTHER RUSSIA SANCTIONS COULD BE SUSPENDED AGAIN
  • *MERKEL SAYS EU SANCTIONS THREAT REMAINS IN FORCE

But as Bloomberg's Leonid Bershidsky notes,

"All these sanctions were like poultices for a dead man," a distraught Yatsenyuk said today. "They did not help." He called for the West to freeze Russia's assets and financial transactions to force it to withdraw. The West, however, is unlikely to go that far. The sanctions have already contributed to economic contraction in Germany, and Europe cannot afford much more pain. Military aid is not an option: There is no country in the world where voters would back a war with Russia.

 

The Western world will probably wiggle out of its moral dilemma by blaming Poroshenko for being deaf to Russia's legitimate concerns about preserving Ukraine's status as a buffer state. No matter how unfair that sounds, Ukraine is now faced with the necessity of making concessions to Putin. It will take some time to sink in, but help of the kind Kiev really needs is probably not coming. Unless Poroshenko finds it in himself to bargain, eastern Ukraine may well end up a Russian-controlled no man's land like Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria. There is no face-saving solution for anyone anymore.

* * *

Poroshenko full statement:

My international negotiations in Brussels and Minsk demonstrated a powerful request for peaceful political-diplomatic settlement of the conflict in the Donbas. The same mood dominated during my meetings with global leaders at the NATO Summit in Wales.

 

The entire world strives for peace, the entire Ukraine strives for peace, including millions of Donbas residents.

 

The highest value is human life. We must do everything possible and impossible to terminate bloodshed and put an end to people's suffering.

 

Taking into account the call for ceasefire of President of Russia Vladimir Putin addressed to the heads of illegal armed groups of the Donbas and the signature of the protocol at the meeting of Trilateral contact group on the implementation of the Peace plan of the President of Ukraine, I order the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to cease fire starting from 18:00, September 5.

 

I also instruct the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to ensure jointly with the OSCE an efficient international control over the compliance with the ceasefire regime which must be exclusively bilateral.

 

I hope that these agreements, including ceasefire and liberation of hostages, will be strictly observed.

*  *  *

Extend the process with no further sanctions until the winter, then Russia is in charge and holds all the leverage... perhaps that's why the market is not exuberantly rallying on this apparent de-escalation.

Most of the Uke regular units are surrounded in cauldrons. The Right Sector "Punisher" units bravely retreated earlier, while leaving a bunch of civilian corpses behind them.

They really do need to get their army out before they lose it. Right now they are negotiating over whether or not the troops will have to strip to their underwear before they are allowed to walk out.

Or get a ceasefire to stop a conflict that Ukraine was losing badly.  Take time to re-think, re-stock and re-position before re-suming.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at that NATO meeting.  I wonder if it was like herding cats?

The Ukrainains - all of them need to go to Kiev and hunt down Yats, Porky and the other dual citizen oligarchs and traitors and put them on trial.   They need to get what Mussolini and Cheaucescu got for the genocide they did against the Ukrainian people.  Waterboard them first to find out who stole the gold and who gave the order to shoot down the airliner.

F Yats and Porky plus the rest.

These Novoroyissians know how to fight and it is no bullshit when it is game on.  If the poor Ukrainain conscripts walk then they will leave them alone.  If they try to escape fighting in a break out then the sepratists will wipe them out.  

The junta was using artillery against their own men trying to surrender. 

These dumb people need to go get Yats and Porky plus the rest of the dual citizen oligarchs and those behind the junta.

It must be a second one then. Quite a time ago there were report about one killed the same way in the Donetsk region.

Obviously they use the WWII 'Simonov' type 14.5 mm anti-tank rifle modified as a long range sniper rifle because of the better body protection the Blackwater mercenaries are wearing.

And it shows what DIY ingenuity people may demonstrate, pressed to the wall, when lacking modern weapons but have numbers of old stock left after the dissipation of the USSR.

"Everything points to the fact that maybe some underground 'unofficial' channels between NATO and Russia have been mobilized, after a long time, so that to reach a - even temporary - ceasefire agreement in Ukraine. Neocons have ridiculously failed one more time. After the mess they brought in Iraq, they had this "brilliant idea" to support these militant groups so that to bring down Assad regime, which is attached to Russia, and probably destabilize Iran too. Now they are closing fronts and call everyone to destroy ISIS."

Anyway, there are many disinfo "news" outlets other than the atrocious MSM, and yes, Rain has dubious funding, connections, and agendas. There are hundreds of similar outlets. Digging just one single inch below the surface on many these "news" outlets can yield interesting and eye opening results.

One of my personal favorites is the "Kyiv Post", which is often quoted as a source for other stories which rely on "reports from Ukraine" to deliberately reprint lies. It has a very interesting disclaimer. It reads:

"Editor’s Note: This article is produced with support from mymedia.org.ua, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and implemented by NIRAS and BBC Media Actionas well  as Ukraine Media Project, managed by Internews and funded by the U.S.Agency for International Development. Kyiv Post+ is a special project covering Russia’s war against Ukraine and the aftermath of the Euromaidan Revolution. Content is solely the responsibility of the Kyiv Post."

They may well be a US funded organisation. This is Moscow's reply

MOSCOW, September 05. /ITAR-TASS/. The Russian Defence Ministry at the request of the Union of the Committees of Soldiers’ Mothers has specified the whereabouts of the servicemen whose relatives have had no contact with them for a long time, a ministry spokesman said Friday.

“The Defense Ministry has very seriously taken the appeal of the Union of the Committees of Soldiers’ Mothers of Russia regarding the whereabouts of the servicemen who have had no contact with their relatives for a long time,” the spokesman for the personnel department of the Russian Armed Forces told ITAR-TASS.

He said that the department received on September 2 an inquiry from the Union’s secretary Valentina Melnikova who requested to specify the whereabouts of nine servicemen whose relatives had no information about them for a long time. “Heeding her request, we have found this out and replied within a day,” the army spokesman said.

According to him, all the soldiers, specified in the request, are engaged at planned manoeuvres and field exercises with their units: “Eight guys have already called their relatives and friends, as we demanded that the commanders control this. We have not found the whereabouts of only one serviceman so far,” the defense official said.

 

He said the name of this soldier was being specified through Melnikova. “As soon as we get his name, we will ensure his contact with the relatives within a day,” he said. The defense official called “constructive” the dialogue with the secretary of the Union of the Committees of Soldiers’ Mothers. “Specific data and clearly put questions ease our efforts in sorting out the situation and allaying the relatives’ concerns,” he said.

He said not all representatives of human rights organisations are ready to work constructively. “Some of them prefer undisguised publicity stunts, shamelessly circulating shocking statements about hundreds of missing Russian soldiers. Not bothering to grasp the situation, they make far-reaching conclusions about alleged loss of whole units,” the spokesman said.

“They have been so far ignoring all our requests to provide the details on the guys sought by their parents,” he said.

Hilarious to see the DAX zoom skyward on this fucking nonsense - and then get a second wind after the US employment data showed that apart from Birth-Death scam-tistics, only about 5 people are getting a wage.

 

If you look at the DAX this week, it's clear that nobody believed that the US was going to do shit about Russia (and that the "Russkies on the Ukraine border - trust us, we brought you Saddams WMDs" narrative was a lie).

 

I'm no fan of Putin, but it's quite fun to watch him flip off the fucktards who were very recently jerking off to strains of "We are a hyperpower: we make our own reality".

 

If you were a DAX trader, would you make a "pointed bet" and go home with your swag full of long index futures positions? (the correct answer is "HELL NO").

Over decades Russia has not once missed to fullfill it's gas and oil treaties with European countries. Not a revolution and not state bancrupty had lead to the slightest problems! In fact Russia is EXTREMELY reliable when it comes to that.

But since USrael has implemented the first ZOG in Ukraine roughly 15 years ago, there have been always problems. The Ukrainian ZOGs even cutoff gas for transit to Europe and the Ziomedia have withheld this fact and portrayed it, as if Putin was playing with the gas card.

Reliability is in the interest of Russia, while the City of London and New York tries to create problems in Europe, to avoid the natural axis Paris-Berlin-Moscow, of a united and peaceful continent.

Both sides?

Did I miss something?

Is Russia poisioning it's people with GMO food, while Ukraine is becoming the newest colony of USrael?

Is the Russian oil industry sold out to New York or is shale oil in Ukraine being established with USrael's vice president's son Biden making some money?

Is Russia increasing it's souvereignity or is even Ukraine's pipeline system and land being sold out to the IMF and the international hyenas?!

 

And if you talk about Crimea: you should mention that Crimea is Russian and was given to Ukraine during the Soviet Union for political reasons, but not because it was Ukrainian.

Are you a fan of Soviet Russia? Why do you support unjust and artificial borders?

There was a referendum and the result is clear. Are you against the right of self determination? That would fit to the enforced concept of mass immigration into the gentile's lands, while Israel follows a policy of ethnic cleansing.

Shlomo, the world is seeing who is behind all the evil going on, be it in Europe or in the islamic world and your stupid and primitive lies are slowly losing their power over people: the information monopoly of Jewish MSM has finally been broken by the internet. Since then the world rubs it's eyes and slowly begins to recognize how the enemy of mankind operates by creating problems and if that's not enough, by producing false flags (MH17) or shooting at both sides (Maidan). STFU!

To President Putin

Be expecting a fresh round of new foreign recruits to regroup what is left of "Porko's" regulars...

To the ehtnic Russians in Ukraine... Ask for more of those ISIS mercenaries to keep 'em coming, especially the ones from Israel, U.S. and U.K. cause it's the kind of "cleansing" you can really take pride in!

Don't look now but I see many "Kiev regulars" trophy body part(s) in pickle jars that will never make it home to America to be passed down from generation to generation in Ukraine!

The oligarhs might get to "save face" and keep the gas and oil flowing?  Gee, imagine that.  Make peace accord, now start demanding Rubles for all natural resources.  Look at the gas and oil exports of Russia and South America.  They are just about half the total market on earth.

All the chaos in South America is making more sense now.  Just imagine if South Americans were organized enough to actually get together with Russia on a new energy backed currency.

If I were Putin, I'd count the silverware before Poroshenko leaves the table.  He's a pathological liar.  Can't be trusted.  Evil man.  He's just buying time because he was going down and about to lose it all.  But he'll be back at it, trying to destablize and undermine eastern Ukraine.  He wanted the whole pie as does the West.  They just want some time to regroup so they can come up with a new plan, which will include NATO membership.  That's when the real showdown will begin.

Putin made it very clear that any deal would be between Kiev and the Freedom fighters. Russia is not a party to the deal but has (unlike EU, NATO  etc) been trying to broker a ceasefire. The west has done nothing to try and bring a ceasefire,and have urged Kiev to keep murdering its citizens.

Ivan asked for/offered similar last year, but the ZOG in Kiev figured killing the separatists was needed for IMF bondage.

 

So here's the deal - ZATO wants more time to muster its mercs and artillery and to get a few more boats, including unterseaboots.

 

"RUSSIA" will break the peace, like we are assured from an objective, reliable media, it is always the Palis who do... but will the false flag be done by the Ukrainian puppet regime, one of the oligarchs sua sponte, the Americans, or Israel?

 

Maybe ISIS turns up having Russian gear. This isnt over. Even here, the fuckwits parroting the MSM Neocon, war horny, zioglobalist line is stunning.

 

The only thing that could stop the American Banking Empire's march to war is internal revolt and expulsion of the Nulands and Woolseys and Cheneys and Kagans - but that, apparently, ain't gonna happen.  Which means decades of the same fuckery, brought to you by the same cliques of warmongers.

Remember that the USA,UK, NATO all broke the Helsinki Agreement and International Law when they invaded Serbia and partitioned Kosovo off. Russia has not done anything as extreme as that. But if they did it would be as justifiable in International Law as what the West did with Kosovo. We broke and negated international law so we cant cite it now. The west tore it.

still:

 

I up-arrowed your comment because to me, it is a concise statement of the reason why I, and I feel many, many, others, are cheering on the Freedom Fighters in eastern Ukraine.

 

The hypocrisy of the West is beyond disgusting - it is criminal and should land people like Nuland in front of the International Court of Justice for war crimes and other crimes against humanity. (No use expecting the Black Racist US AG Eric Holder to investigate or prosecute - everyone in the Obama admin is TBTP. What a whore.).

 

For those who think those of us supporting the Freedom Fighters do so out of love for Putin or Russia, think again. While I can't speak for others, I can speak for myself and tell you what I love is the come-upance of the West. (If you are unfamiliar with American idioms, it means "the fucking in the ass with a gigantic, unlubricated, sandpaper, dildo")

 

My background includes writing for the NY Times; I have never been so disgusted by what the newspaper has become than I am now. It has turned from at least an attempt at journalism, into nothing but a cheap gang of drunken, drugged-up propaganda hacks. Nothing it prints about national, international, or economic, news is to be believed. And its continuing Death Spiral shows that I am far from alone in that feeling.

 

And the same is true of the US government; they are psycho liars vying for power disregarding all consequences for their actions. They have droned so many brown people that they think they can drone anyone and get away with it.

 

I'm very happy to see the Russians communicate the idea that they can't. Somebody has to bring this insane group of people back down to Earth. If history lets it fall to Putin, so be it.

 

As for Obama, I predict that after he gets out of office, he will tread very carefully outside the US. Somewhere, some group is looking to pull a "rendition" on him, and get him before the International Court of Justice for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. Common, basic, decency, demands this psycho serial mass murderer pay for his crimes.

 

So for you trolls on the West's list - take a hike with your propaganda.

 

I write that not because I am sold out to the Russians as you are to the West, but because I am sold out to the truth, to human decency, and to the end of this system of oligarchs and surfs.

 

I'd respectfully suggest there are many, many, here who feel the same.

I'll miss seeing your neo swastika avitar when this is all said and done...and there's no sense in keeping you on the Kiev fascist payroll. I suggest you start sucking up to whoever might be in charge there in the future...starting about now.

The western corporatists are hoping this whole affair is quicky forgotten. Kiev is in a box...this drags out much longer and they won't have an army left at all...and the chances their western masters will save this Kiev "government" from an actual popular uprising later gets slimmer and slimmer by the day. If the Russians actually want to stop now...it will be done. And Ukraine will be relegated to "non story" status quickly by your "frinds" in the western MSM. They never cared about you...and everyone needs to make a living right? This is the company you keep and it tells a lot about a person.

As we explained over and over...Putin held the best cards here by far. You don't have to like the guy to know that. He didn't even have to play them very well to win the hand. If you are "for real" than at least a lesson was learned here hopefully...we all keep learning those. Don't trust politicians no matter where they happen to live. Your hopes and dreams...and literally your life...means nothing to them. It's not even an afterthought to a sociopath or a psychopath. Power is the name of the game and we are widgets used to quantify who has more at any given time...how many of us does "leader X" control? That's how score is being kept...money and resource allocation (the things of geopolitics) are just a means to that end...power and control.

The communication between ATC and airpolane can be listened to by everyone, who invests $300 and buys the equipment. It means also by rtussian sigint (their equipment will be other grade and litte bit more expensive, I would say).

Besides the black boxes, the russians have sure the recordings of this communication.

If they spot a fighter, they listen automatically to the communication. Because fighter was in the proximity of MH17, I am confident, that RUssians DO HAVE THE COMMUNICATION. They just wait, what bullshit will UK/NATO try to put on the table and disclose the communication then.

So far, for whatever it is worth,we have
a fair amount of information
on the positions of Putin and Porko.

I would like to hear more directly from
Zakharchenko, and to get more information
on  Kolomoyski's intentions.

It would be a good move for the
separatists if they could take over
and retain Mariupol, as well as the
territory they presently hold as an
independent autonomous region.
This could establish a land corridor
along the sea of Azov running
between mainland Russia and
Crimea... If Russia were given
shared use of this corridor, I am sure
Putin would be willing to foot the
bulk of the cost of reconstructing
Eastern Ukraine that has been
destroyed by Kiev.

Ceasefires allow forces to regroup and are followed by another assault. Global news reports examples of Libya and former Yugoslavia. There were ceasefires there too followed by another assault. The Ukraine ceasefire occurred when western Kiev forces were losing ground and men; so they agree to a ceasefire. What is Ukraine doing with the ceasefire? They are not working with Ukraine citizens to forge a peace but instead are lobbying NATO, IMF, and the United States for more munitions and money in order to initiate more combat. Just like Libya and Yugoslavia, the losing force agrees to a ceasefire, regroups, and goes back to battle. Ceasefires work when you stop feeding into it. The world should brace itself for some real Ukranian death and destruction in the coming 3 months
