How Americans are using Ukraine for their own purposes

How Americans are using Ukraine for their own purposes

The recent aggravation of the situation in Ukraine cannot be regarded as an independent phenomenon., this is just part of the big US game in the global confrontation with Russia. At the same time, the demonstrative whipping up of military hysteria in the Donbass, ignoring the Minsk agreements, impudent and groundless accusations of Russia in their disruption, illegal "hit" on the Constitutional Court and an attempt to place the judicial system under the control of Western "experts", closure of television channels and an attempt to ban the parties of Medvedchuk and Shariy, the hysteria over the Kharkiv agreements and the "surrender" of Crimea give the impression, that Zelensky is playing an independent game of escalation and is ready to usurp all power in his hands. But it is not so.

Talking about Zelensky's independence in making decisions on such fundamental issues with far-reaching consequences is simply ridiculous.. To assess his independence, first of all, it is necessary to analyze the subjectivity of internal and external forces, influencing decision-making and the place of Zelensky, as well as its role in the system of government of Ukraine.

The state of Ukraine and its authorities do not have any internal, no external subjectivity, there are two controls: Americans and the local oligarchy. Ukraine under colonial rule, not implying the development of the country. And local natives have no right to decide something on their own without the approval of the metropolis, which defines the corridor, within which the oligarchy and power can operate, fulfilling their assigned tasks.

Now the US decides, what kind of power will be in Ukraine, what policy will it pursue and who will be president. At the initial stage, the oligarchy ruled the ball and formed power for itself. With the interception of control of the country by the Americans, the oligarchs were initially held back, and then pushed back from power. Because of their obstinacy and desire to gain profit, the oligarchs constantly ran for red flags, expanding the corridor of opportunities established for them. Americans do not need a competitor in this field, and now the question is already being raised of the liquidation of the oligarchs as a class. And Zelensky did not even try to show independence, he became a typical representative of the holly Ukrainian elite, looking into the mouth of her master.

statement, that “Zelensky decided” or “he wants”, - waste of words, it doesn't define anything, but meekly carries out the commands received from the Americans, and it is not for him to make decisions in such an important matter, how to deal with Donbass. How beneficial will the Americans, so be it.

maybe, Zelensky and a good person, who sincerely wished to establish peace in the Donbass when running for the presidency, improve living standards and curb corruption, but in the system of government that has developed in Ukraine, this is impossible to do. Only by following the rules set in the system, can stay in office. This was quickly and clearly explained to the young president. Zelensky did not fulfill any of his election promises and could not fulfill, it can only implement, what is beneficial to the Americans and the oligarchy.

The US and the EU have imposed a ban on the development of the Ukrainian state and are clearly planning the present and future of Ukraine in their global interests, defining the vector of its internal and external development. Naive dreams of a significant part of the Ukrainian population, that the West will make a second Poland out of Ukraine, had no basis. They do not need Ukraine as an independent and strong state, they have one goal - to use it as a springboard for putting pressure on Russia, and for this all means are good.

Confirmation of this can be found in the Atlantic Council, published in early March by the American think tank. (Atlantic Council) Biden administration strategies on Ukraine, in which it is detailed and cynically painted, why does the US need Ukraine and how should it behave.

Under the chatter about the need to establish democracy in Ukraine, fight against corruption, law enforcement, purging oligarchy dominance and implementing reforms led by Washington-appointed reformers, this voluminous memorandum clearly articulates US national interests in Ukraine, options for US participation in resolving the conflict in the Donbass are proposed and the need to strengthen Russia's opposition is substantiated.

American interests in Ukraine

What is the American strategy in Ukraine about??

Because, that Russia is at war with the West in a military, cybernetic, informational, religious and economic fronts, and Ukraine is an outpost in this fight, The US and the EU, in their national interest, should support Ukraine in its attempts to push Russia out of the Ukrainian Southeast, because the future of the international order depends on the withdrawal of Russia from Ukraine. The role of the United States as a moral leader and defender of democracy must be renewed, support Ukraine in its aspiration to become a member of the EU and NATO and to toughen policy towards Russia.

The memorandum sets out instructions for reforming the judicial system of Ukraine under the guidance of international experts. In particular, it provides for the “cleansing” of the Constitutional Court from objectionable judges and the activation of anti-corruption bodies (subordinate to the USA). highlights, what about the dismissal of a promising attorney general and his team in March 2020 (proteges of the USA) prosecutors ignore high-level criminals (apparently, Kolomoisky) and persecutes the reformers. Regret is expressed, that in March 2020 the president dismissed the government of reformers led by Goncharuk (litters).

Specified, that the US should seek the extradition of the oligarch Firtash and the Ukrainian authorities should end the introduced price controls and release them to natural gas (this is a disaster for utilities). If these requirements are met, the States will push international financial organizations to cooperate with Ukraine.

Ways to resolve the conflict in the Donbass

Despite all the shortcomings of the Minsk agreements, Ukraine should not even give a reason to think, that she refuses to agree, because they confirm, that Donbass is Ukraine, and create conditions for the imposition of sanctions against Russia. The agreement should be supplemented by the mechanisms proposed by the United States (emasculating their essence). Kyiv should refuse elections in Donbass, until "Russian troops are withdrawn". A compromise could be the introduction of international peacekeeping troops.

The memorandum emphasizes, that diplomatic efforts to end the conflict ended in failure. «Donbass risks becoming that dead end, who will work against Ukrainian efforts… to become an integral part of the Euro-Atlantic community. A fair decision on Donbas should be the litmus test of any effort to improve relations with Moscow». «Putin aims to undermine Ukraine's democratic experiment and block Kyiv's path to Euro-Atlantic integration. Strong and sustained U.S. leadership is essential to, to break the deadlock and bring the conflict to an end through negotiations».

Negotiations within the Normandy format turned out to be ineffective. «The problem is the absence of the United States in the negotiations, which allows Russia to turn different participants against each other and present itself as a neutral mediator, not a direct participant in the conflict. While the US is not actively involved in the negotiations, It is easier for Putin to drag out the process. He will continue to insist, that there are no Russian troops in the Donbas and that this is a civil war between ethnic Russians and Ukrainian nationalists».

In this regard, the following options for US participation in the settlement process are proposed.:

— join the Normandy format, which will provide an opportunity to directly participate in its summits and demonstrate the US determination to achieve results;

― restore the Budapest format on the basis of the December memorandum 1994 of the year, in which the US, Russia, and the UK assured Ukraine of its security in exchange for the renunciation of nuclear weapons;

― enter into bilateral negotiations with Russia and assume the role of diplomatic leader in resolving the conflict;

― appoint a special representative for negotiations with the authority to speak on behalf of the President of the United States.

According to the authors, these options will push Putin to sign a treaty that suits the US, as this process will highlight Russia's status as a superpower on a par with the United States.

To protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine and protect the national security of the United States, it is necessary to provide Kyiv with lethal weapons systems, increase military aid to 500 million dollars a year, ensure a wider presence of NATO ships in the Black Sea and deepen Ukraine's integration into alliance structures.

All these options for resolving the conflict have already been proposed by Zelensky on behalf of Ukraine, and the USA is here, as it were, nothing to do with it.

The need to put pressure on Russia

The memorandum states that, that in connection with, that Putin has not abandoned the imperial past and is seeking the complete subordination of Ukraine to Moscow, Russia must be fought with all available means: «The logic of imperialism and the logic of Putinism leave Ukraine as enemies. It should not be. If Russia overthrew the Putin system and embarked on the path of reform, “Europeanized” Ukraine would not be a threat to it, but a role model. Of course, it's not that, what does the Kremlin want, but, judging by the constant resistance to Putin's rule, It `s that, What do Russians want?».

This stupid and unequivocal call for the overthrow of the Russian president speaks of a lack of understanding by Americans of the mentality of the Russian people.: the more they put pressure on Putin, the stronger Russian society will unite.

The memorandum provides for putting pressure on Moscow, including with the use of a stick and a carrot. US must convince European allies to join more painful sanctions on Russia, selecting for this such vulnerable objects, as VEB and the Russian Direct Investment Fund, block the issue of Russian securities, and, when Moscow violates gas transit through Ukraine, apply sanctions against Gazprom. In addition, the United States and its allies need to identify Russia’s costs “for aggression against Crimea and Donbass” and make it known to the world community..

USA, EU and G7 partners need to start developing global sanctions against Russia, determine the format of international peacekeeping forces to enter the Donbass, take joint action to close the Nord Stream 2 project and support Ukraine's efforts to organize the Crimean Platform, uniting a united front of the fight against the "aggression" of Russia.

The memorandum explicitly states that, what Zelensky is already “as if on his own” implementing in Ukraine: anti-Russian hysteria, discrediting "Minsk", shelling and provocations in Donbass, "Crimean Platform", the desire to involve the United States in the negotiations on Donbass, pressure on the CCU and the prosecutor's office, as well as the cleansing of the oligarchy. The Ukrainian president meekly follows instructions, without thinking much about the consequences of their actions. Behind him are the Americans, and he tries not to deceive their expectations.

It is not excluded, what Zelensky might not have known about the memorandum before it was published, he just faithfully followed the incoming instructions, passing them off as your decisions. Unconditionally taking a pro-American position and betraying his "Papa Carlo", he took away his choice, becoming a small cog in the big American game.

In its actions, the United States considers Ukraine as an expendable material in the implementation of geopolitical goals, as a tool for the destruction and disposal of Russia, because in the American doctrine it is the main threat to the national security of the country. To this end, the States are purposefully turning a fragment of the Russian world into its opposite.. First, they tamed the elite and turned them into lackeys ready for anything, waiting for commands from the owner, then they tamed the oligarchy with threats and blackmail and now they are successfully changing the consciousness of the population, turning it into an uncomplaining herd, waiting for handouts from the generous overlord. Upstairs they needed an obedient puppet, and the weak-willed and cowardly Zelensky, like no one else, is suitable for this role, so no one touches him, Americans will quickly find a whip for Kolomoisky and Avakov, if they suddenly have such thoughts.

Zelensky, at the command and under the leadership of the Americans, clears the political field from "free-thinking" pseudo-oppositionists, deprives them of the opportunity to bring "seditious" thoughts to the population by banning "enemy" TV channels, social media restrictions, initiation of criminal cases against not only obvious opponents, but also pro-American "elites", previously issued.

He is now entrusted with the important task of provoking Russia and dragging her into the war., thereby putting an end to the Minsk agreements and, untying the hands of the West to impose tough sanctions, and possibly, and blockade of Russia, turn her into a fiend and a world outcast. So Ukraine has one of the key roles in the anti-Russian plans of the West. It didn't work out with Belarus and Navalny, now all hope is on Ukrainian lackeys.

In these plans, great importance is attached to the “Crimean Platform” promoted by Ukraine., according to which Russia should be deprived of the neutral status of the guarantor of the Minsk agreements and become the accused party in aggression against Crimea and Donbass. Ukraine is presented as a victim of Russian aggression, which allegedly did everything possible to establish peace and implement agreements, but aggressive Russia provokes a war.

military experts clearly, that in any case, Russia will not allow the fall of the Republics, and Ukraine will suffer a crushing defeat when attacking the Donbass. Americans don't care, they are not going to fight on her side. Having provoked Russia to the inevitable response, she can be accused of aggression, start a campaign in the UN to discredit it and bring in peacekeeping forces, deliver a decisive blow in the form of a Nord Stream 2 ban, throw a lot of modern weapons on Ukraine and unleash a serious war with the participation of the Russian Federation on its territory with the hands of Ukrainians.

There is a lot of talk in the expert community now, that there are enough sober heads in Ukraine not to get involved in a war, but we must not forget, what, if the Americans need a war, it will start. And this does not depend on the Ukrainian authorities., the consumable will be used up to the limits defined by the behind-the-scenes player.

At the same time, the United States will also derive military benefits from this adventure.: they will once again check Russia's capabilities for the methods and timing of the transfer of forces, the use of electronic warfare and intelligence, effectiveness of air defense systems and tactics of the Black Sea Fleet.

Ukraine will pay for all this with the lives of its citizens and will come even closer to the destruction of its statehood.. The United States is still too early to finally dispose of its colony, there will be work for her even within significantly reduced boundaries. And when the remnants of the angry population will sweep away the Zelensky regime, a new puppet in a beautiful wrapper will be imposed on the fooled population, and the wheel of ruin will spin with renewed vigor.
