Peace? Ukraine "Preparing For Full-Scale War" With Russia, Demands The West Supply Lethal Weapons
"We don't want to scare everybody, but we are preparing for full-scale war," warns Vadym Prystaiko - Ukraine's deputy foreign minister - telling CBC during a stunning interview that "what we expect from the world is that the world will stiffen up in the spine a little." Demanding that West provide 'lethal weapons' Prystaiko rages "everybody is afraid of fighting with a nuclear state. We are not anymore." Coming just a week after the Minsk Summit 'peace' deal and with Germany having warned they are likely unable to stop arms being supplied to Ukraine, Prystaiko concludes, "we would like [The West] to send lethal weapons to Ukraine... weapons to allow us to defend ourselves."
Ukraine's deputy foreign minister says he is preparing for "full-scale war" against Russia and wants Canada to help by supplying lethal weapons and the training to use them.
Vadym Prystaiko, who until last fall was Ukraine's ambassador to Canada, says the world must not be afraid of joining Ukraine in the fight against a nuclear power.
In an interview with CBC Radio's The House airing Saturday, Prystaiko says the ceasefire brokered by Germany and France was not holding.
"The biggest hub we ever had in the railroad is completely destroyed and devastated," he told host Evan Solomon about Debaltseve, captured by Russian-backed rebels after the terms were to have taken effect earlier this week.
"We see that they are not stopping," he says, suggesting the fight was now heading south to the port of Mariupol.
"It doesn't take a genius to see what they are trying to do.… They are taking more and more strategic points."
The former ambassador was in the room during the attempts to broker a political solution with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Minsk.
"Personally I don't trust him," he says. "You look at him and you think, 'Are you serious?'"
"Nobody knows what is going on in his head. I believe he is becoming very emotional [over the two countries' historic ties]," he suggests, calling Putin's intentions "difficult to predict."
Prystaiko echoes the view German Chancellor Angela Merkel is said to have expressed to U.S. President Barack Obama privately a year ago: "He is rational in his own way. He is in some parallel universe ... and he sees differently than everyone else."
'We have to do something'
"The stakes are really high," Prystaiko says, pointing out that Ukraine has now closed its border crossing with Russia. "We don't want to scare everybody, but we are preparing for full-scale war."
What to do in the face of such a threat? For starters, get over your fears, he says.
"What we expect from the world is that the world will stiffen up in the spine a little," he says. "Everybody is afraid of fighting with a nuclear state. We are not anymore, in Ukraine — we've lost so many people of ours, we've lost so much of our territory.
"However dangerous it sounds, we have to stop [Putin] somehow. For the sake of the Russian nation as well, not just for the Ukrainians and Europe."
Prystaiko says Ukrainians are blunt when it comes to what they need.
"We would like Canada to send lethal weapons to Ukraine," he said. "Weapons to allow us to defend ourselves."
Canada has been helping to train Ukrainian soldiers for the last decade, but it isn't enough, he says.
"It wasn't on the level that would help our army [against an] invasion."
Ukraine wants weapons, and training to use them, he said.
...
But he doesn't hold back from calling on Ukraine's Western allies to step up, echoing the frustration he expressed last November over Canada's willingness to intervene in Iraq but not send troops to help Ukraine.
"I was quite blunt... and probably it was premature at that point but now I have to ask again: If we see the same sort of rebels coming towards central Ukraine, towards other cities, how much is different from what we see in Iraq and the international help which was coming?"
"Unfortunately, we will probably pose a very serious question for the rest of the world: How can we react to this new challenge? We haven't had it for 50 years in Europe. Now it's back again."

This coming just a week after the Minsk Summit deal and further to Putin's warnings that "if Kiev seeks a military solution, war will never end," it appears Ukraine has gone from bad to worse to worst possible scenario as proxy war tensions mount.

Ukraine's deputy foreign minister says he is preparing for "full-scale war" against Russia and wants Canada to help by supplying lethal weapons and the training to use them.
Wow, these propaganda masters think people are so clueless, they can't recognize the absolute absurdity of what they say:
#1: We who fail at everything we try...
#2: And whose military abandons their posts at the first chance...
#3: And who have to beg for better weapons...
... are preparing for full-scale war?
Seriously?
Hahaha.
Sounds more like something an insane asylum patient might say. Which has to make one wonder. Does this guy have a way out of Ukraine? Or is he being set up to be sacrificed by the predators-that-be?
If this moron does get lots of weapons, 50:50 chance his soldiers will turn them on this guy and his fiat, fake, fraud, fiction, fantasy pawn "government". That outcome would be very funny and rather wonderful.
Spot on. The East are affirming their border with the rest of Ukraine and tightening up potential weak spots. My guess is Putin will let this border settle peacefully for a while, and will turn to destablising Porky, who from the state of those soldiers returning from Debaltseve, leaving hundreds of their friends dead in the street will have some questions for him to answwer... The Novo-guys asked the UKA to leave, made theem a corridor, said anyone who surrendered would be returned home, but Porky and co just had to order them to keep firing til the last of someone elses blood. Its 6th Army all over again.
I also gather that from April UKR gas prices will quadruple as the discounts end. That'll cheer up the "folks" no end. I give Porky 6 months.
Did I hear a big slurping sound as the $40billion promised just went into someone's pocket ??
Being a client state of the U.S. only ends one way and it is not a good way. I would say 100% probability that the Minister of defense is gone one way or another within six months.
Wants lethal weapons , will so what have the people in ukraine been killed with .
Nail gun accidents...
So where are all these European leaders now, one year on? Von Rompuy, Barosso, Von Hofstadt, Von Balen and Timmermans? Oh wait, some of them went into retirement, one went to the EC and others are keeping a low profile.
"We won, we won, we won", shouted one seeing a good opportunity to throw himself in the spotlight in order to advance his career.
So, who exactly won? It doesn't seem to me it is the people of Ukraine that won.
Twicw the Ukranian Government have screamed hysterically to the world press that Russia has attacked them with nukes, you would be a fool to believe anything the neo Nazi's in the Ukraine say.
That'll be self-induced, using the same 'Pitts' they used for 9/11!
Nothing better than attacking yourself and blaming the enemy?

This will come down to a battle between the warmongers ie the US/Anglo axis, and those countries in Europe that realise that blindly submitting to the US/NATO expansionismn agenda, will spell disaster for Europe.
The West is declining fast, and no amount of war will stop this transition to the multi polar world. The Hawks in Washington are on borrowed time, and will not remain in control for much longer. A new governance awaits in the US, together with a new financial system. Once this is in place, there will be a domino effect, which will spell the end of NATO, and the beginnings of world peace and prosperity.
The successor to the Mulatto Monkey will be 100 times worse. Do you see anyone with half a fucking brain in the future of the USA?? I don't .
This can't come soon enough! UN and NATO need wars to justify their existence! Who was Putin threatening back in January 2013? No-one, US cocked up, they thought they'd done enough with their Regime Change in Georgia and Kosova to collect all Russian commodities after Gorbachov left, but they under-estimated Putin.
He's totally turned Russias economy around and also blocked any attempt by US to 'default' on Ukraine debts! So now US must either walk away from a 'worthless' country or push even harder, because she's all out of excuses now, everyone knows it was US who started the shit!
Putin want's to end Russia's involvement with the 'petrodollar', which is the main reason for the 'troubles' in Middle East and Ukraine, as he backs Syria and Iran, who also don't sell their oil in petrodollars? This is, of course, what happened to Saddam, who was selling oil for Euros and Gaddafi, who advertised his oil for Gold-Dinar....the gold for these coins, still not surfaced?
I do not watch much mainstream (propaganda) TV news here in the USA...my wife turns on the ABC nightly news. Last night, it was Kerry making a fuss about Russia...that guy is so freaking lame.

"..'We have to do something'.."
Emmigrate in USA and continue barking. Nobody will pay attention.
The leader of the Radical Party of Ukraine Oleg Lyashko suggested US President Barack Obama to allocate irrevocably $ 100 billion to reform and to write off debts.

Full scale war Ua against Russia? . This would be an event for one weekend. Ua having US and NATO lethal support has been beaten badly every 2 months by Novorossian army, which is 4x smaller. How do they want to fight russian army, which is 5x bigger, then Ua army??????
Memo to this Nazi asswipe. Eastern Ukraine is not attacking Kiev or Western Ukraine. its vice versa.
Main industry in Kiev, illegal sex worker trade HQ PLUS the illegal organ harvesting business in conjunction with Tel Aviv. Those Zionist cocksuckers like Pornoshenko and Yats the Rat are there for a reason.
We are talking about Russia here, the nation with 2nd largest nuclear arsenal on the planet.
The cold war remained cold because the other option was MAD (mutually assured destruction).
1st question is where are your fucking guns. where did you put them, who got them?
This guy sounds like a terrorist. Your either with us or your with the warrorists.
Hey, didn't the US kidnap a Russian guy in Thailand a few years ago and throw his ass in jail in New York for selling the abundant Ukrainian arms to the rest of the world? And isn't Ukraine one of the largest producers of weaponry in the world? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Defense_Industry_%28company%29
So why the fuck do they need the Canadian and US taxpayer to send them more weapons? isn't that like sending more cars to Detroit to help the automakers do better in the war against Toyota and BMW or am I missing something?
Honestly, these Ukrainian jerk off politicians are really starting to piss me off at a personal level. Who in their right fucking mind doesn't think twice about starting WWIII?!
dog, please do not print facts they are upsetting to the children who read but understand nothing.
Right on! We do not need mind-numbing realistic questions nagging the party lines.
Love how Jeff Monson summarized it all, in simplest possible terms and crystal clear logic. He is a great fighter and an incredible human being. He is also a huge supporter of the Donbas resistance, Novorussian people and their fight against western banksters and plutocrats.

Russia will invade Europe and attack us here in the U.S. This will happen in or before 2017, which is the 100th year anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima. Better repent of your sins and pray the Rosary. Time is running out. Russia in Catholic prophecy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az4dzdS79jU
Fucking Buybull thumpers..........idiots.
Fucking Buybull thumpers..........idiots.
Ah.. Typical response from a sin loving degenerate. Poor blinded soul.
You sound like typical buybull thumping retard. Sin loving? I don't like sin, I also am smart enough not to believe in some invisible guy in the sky, GROW up and start using your ONE brain cell. Atheists are full more moral people than you Christer idiots who think waging war is what your ''invisible'' guy/gal in the sky wants.
BTW, my children and grandchildren are all happy, educated and successful.
When are you going to buy your imaginary buddy a GPS? He seems to always be lost because nutters keep saying ''Have you found Jesus''?
Russia/China will buy GREECE and build bases there. Meanwhile the Baltic jackoffs will have their gas shut off. Those Baltic wankers keep screaming ''Russia will invade''. LOL
"Bases" are so last century but that because Generals are still fighting the last war.
The U.S. needs to get out and get our money out of the situation. Ukraine got money from the US, IMF.... if they had weapons, it didn't fix their corruption. Their Nazi affiliation didn't fix their corruption. The Urkainians don't have any money? After stealing nat gas from Russia and stiffing China on wheat? Hmmmm.... I wonder if Jaresko knows where that money went. I'm sure Bursima Holdings do. Arseniy Yatseniuk does.
The Ukraine is worse about money and entitlements than Greece ever could be. At least Greece had the common decency to keep the Nazi Golden Dawn party out of power.
The U.S. and the Ukraine would be too easy to beat. All you have to do is hide their cleaning supplies. The tweaker shits would have their weapons stolen them while they perform a psychotic rage when the ammonia disappears.
US is broke, the soldiers who "want" to fight this battle are often fat and stupid, thank God for weapons or they wouldn't stand a chance. I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine either embezzled those weapons for sale or stiffed their own troops on it, the Ukraine government has proven to be so reliable in crisis like these.
The only good anyone could make of Ukraine is to hold their debt in your portfolio to decline the value of your currency.
I wouldn't trust their leaders with a lemonade stand, let alone the billions they got. Waste of time and energy from US taxpayers.
I assure you there are precisely zero "soldiers" who want this fight; only chickenhawks like Lindsey and the Admiral's idiot boy.
"Preparing for full scale war."
You going to invade Russia Big Guy?
For starters, how are you going to get there?
I vote for jet-ski amphibious landings.
Might as well make it dramatic for TV viewing.
Get real, Ukraine has lost. They're not preparing for anything except capitulation.
Begging for arms simply confirms it.
A Greek and Ukrainian walk into a bar and the barman says, " Is this a joke?"
"Ukraine exported major conventional arms worth $1.344 billion in 2012 becoming the fourth largest arms exporter in the world, according to the data published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)."
And they need more weapons from us??? ...WTF!!!
Again citizens of Ukraine I implore you to listen to reason. Wake up to the factthatyour country is being looted by western whores, and your fellow citizens and you are being led to the slaughter.
Stop fighting your fellow countrymen and depose the foreign profiteers and their puppet government that are robbing and murdering you.
