What is incomprehensible is that the EU, and Merkel in the first place, supports on a large scale the Ukraine government. It is known that some oligarchs who are financiers of neo-Nazigroups, hold a public position. Example: Igor Kolomoisky was appointed governor of the Dnipropetrovsk District. He is also the lender of some volunteer battalions (private militias), including the Azov battalion, the Dnepr battalion and the Donbass battalion.

The whole expansionist policy of the EU, performed at all price, even of human lifes, has to end immediately. Negatiotions have to take place, not war. No longer huge funding should be allocated to the government of Ukraine which does not recognize the human rights of minorities. Russia should be admitted again to the G8.

I agree that the media are very reluctant to write the truth. You mentioned a lot of examples. I add these thoughts:
– It is very surprising how quick the US were recognizing the street movement in Kiev in the name of democracy. There were demonstrations, organized by the social media. Immediately, the opposition is recognized and the government has to resign! But the regime change has failed: a war is going on.
– The other drama, which we think is even worse, is that since years, a kind of blame game is going on. Everyone points the finger at Putin. First there was a boycott of the winter games, then Syria, now this. In fact, there are more responsible parties concerning Ukraine, not only the current regime, but also the EU and the US. We must act professionally, use ‘the art of diplomacy’ to mediate, e.g. between Russia and Ukraine. In diplomacy one should negotiate with the enemy.
– It is very astonishing how the real but unchosen head of the European Union, Angela Merkel, is serving the plans of the US. A policy of sanctions and a trade war with Russia is performed. Even after the most humiliating practices by NSA – tapping her mobile phone – she goes on to execute all orders of Obama.

Time will tell what is happening now in Europe. It seems to me that what was not possible during WW2 – the submission of the whole Europe and the Soviet Union, is now aimed for by economic means. The US and EU have the same tactics: allocate huge funds to the former republics of the Soviet Union and tackle Russia in order to attach the whole region to the EU. The current TTIP talks between US and EU must hasten this process.
If this will happen, we are at the beginning of a long new war in Europe. The alternative is: regular negotiations between EU, Russia and the US. But as long as Putin is considered as the great ennemy and excluded from the G8, dangerous times will come, with the complicity of Europe!
Meanwhile in Lugansk innocent civilians die under the bombardment of the Ukrainian army. To this, the European Union is guilty because the Kiev government is supported on a large scale as a result of the expansionist motives of EU leaders. We are hardly informed about this by the media.
After the first world war, we learned that minorities should be recognized and that their needs should be negotiated with the enemy in order to prevent war. Apparently the EU forgot the lessons of World War I.
