"IF RUSSIAN TROOPS OR PEOPLE
ATTACKED, WE'LL RETALIATE": Sergey Lavrov

It took Joe Biden just a day after
his arrival in Kiev to kill and bury the last remaining hope that last week's
latest attempt at diplomatic de-escalation in Geneva would actually be anything
more than a joke. A few hours ago, in a statement posted on the parliament
website, Ukraine acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said that pro-Russian
separatists have "crossed line" adding that East Ukraine is currently
controlled by “terrorists” supported by Russia.
In other words, the same old song
and dance.
Which is why this time Russia made
it quite clear to issue a warning that the next time there is a provocation
against its soldiers or, more importantly, against its people, those in East
Ukraine to be specific, it would retaliate. Once again, Obama's
"costs" message is lost on Putin...
RT reported moments ago that
"Russia will retaliate if it is attacked and the interests of the Russian
people are threatened" citing Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. He
alleged the US has a hand in the current stand-off in Ukraine between the
coup-appointed government and anti-Maidan activists.
In an interview with RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze,
Sergey Lavrov said that Washington “is running the show” in the Ukrainian
crisis.
“There is
no reason not to believe that the Americans are running the show,” said Lavrov,
referencing US Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Kiev and its coincidence
with the renewed counter-terror operation on activists in East Ukraine.
“It’s
quite telling they chose the moment of the Vice President of the US’ visit to
announce the resumption of this operation because the launching of this
operation happened immediately after John Brennon’s [head of the CIA] visit to
Kiev,” said Lavrov.
It remains to be seen if this latest re-escalation of the
Ukraine crisis, which also has killed any hope of a diplomatic resolution, will
be just as bullish or more bullish than last Thursday's response which send
stocks ramping higher when the Geneva "de-escalation" agreement was
announced.
