The Europeans must be living in cloud cucoo land when they beg The Russians and the East Ukranian thugs for negociations.
The Europeans must be living in cloud cucoo land when they beg The Russians and the East Ukranian thugs for negociations.
There is nothing to negociate about. And when the Russians seem to accept negociations, it is only a diversion to allow more time for warfare training and smuggle all type of guns in from the Russian Army.
Negociations won't solve the problem for now because neither the Russians nor Putin's puppets in East and South East Ukrane want anything to do with it.
Negociations will only take place in this business like in any other similar issue when there's been a genocide. It will be too late and many lives will have been lost. What a waste of time and space foxy and dogy Putin is. We think that he will be outsmarted by someone else. Time will prove us right..
The only negociation availble now is unfortunately the barrel of the gun. You in Europe are fully aware of that. However, nothing prevents you from asking for negociations.
It's wise to insist on that, but I hope you don't convince yourselves that negociations will get you somewhere. Don't lie to yourselves because it can bring serious consequences for everybody.

Ukraine crisis: Talks held in bid to curb violence

Ukraine is due to host round-table talks in Kiev as efforts continue to find a negotiated settlement to the crisis in the east of the country.
The talks will include members of the interim government and regional leaders, but pro-Russian separatists have refused to take part.
The move is part of a "roadmap" drawn up by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation and Europe (OSCE).
On Tuesday, seven Ukrainian soldiers were killed by rebels in the east.
The defence ministry said an armoured personnel carrier was ambushed near the town of Kramatorsk in Donetsk region. One rebel was also said to have died in the ensuing gunfight.
Donetsk and the neighbouring region of Luhansk have declared themselves separate from Ukraine after referendums deemed illegal by Kiev, the US and EU.
The OSCE - a security and rights monitoring group drawn from European countries - said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin supported its initiative.
The Vienna-based group named veteran German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger as a moderator for Wednesday's talks.
However, analysts say it is unclear who will speak for the pro-Russian separatists, who lack a single leader or agreed goals.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, currently visiting Ukraine, said he hoped that Wednesday's talks would lead to the separatists disarming and would also improve the atmosphere for presidential elections on 25 May.

Speaking in Odessa, he said the situation remained "very threatening" but called for "a national dialogue."
"I hope this will create the conditions to take a step to bring back occupied territory," he said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking in Berlin, said the more representative the talks were, the better.
However, she added: "Clearly, people are only welcome if they can credibly show that they are prepared to reach their goals without violence."
The talks come amid escalating violence in the east of Ukraine, where armed separatists continue to occupy key government buildings.
Russia denies fomenting the unrest.
On Monday, pro-Russian activists who declared independence in Donetsk said that all Ukrainian troops in the region would be viewed as occupying forces and should leave.
Devolving power
Their leader, Denis Pushilin, called on Russia to "absorb" the region.
In neighbouring Luhansk region, separatists said a rebel leader narrowly survived an assassination attempt.
Self-declared governor Valery Bolotov was shot and had lost a lot of blood, but his life was not in danger, the press office of the "Luhansk People's Republic" said.
In an effort to defuse tensions, the Kiev-appointed governor of Donetsk region said on Tuesday that Ukraine was planning a national referendum on devolving power to regions.
Serhiy Taruta described Sunday's separatist referendums in Donetsk and Luhansk as "an opinion poll".
Russia annexed Ukraine's southern autonomous republic of Crimea in March following a controversial referendum.
The Ukrainian government fears a similar outcome in Donetsk, Luhansk and parts of the south.
Nato believes some 40,000 Russian troops are deployed near Ukraine's border, although Moscow says they have been pulled back.
