“US-led NATO continues to build up military forces in the Baltic, Eastern Europe, the east Mediterranean and the Black Sea,” Cunningham believes.

“This Geneva arrangement is not a genuine address to the problem. It obfuscates the real cause of the problem and in my view will only lead to more confrontation, not less,” he added.

“On the surface, it’s a welcome development to see the US, EU, Russia, and Ukraine’s ‘governing authorities’ reach an agreement on the disarmament of armed groups, the freeing of occupied buildings all across the country, and amnesty for the non-violent protesters,”

said Andrew Korybko, a Moscow-based foreign affairs commentator.

“In reality, even though the governing entity in Kiev and Moscow have a shared interest in disarming Right Sector, how likely is it that this will succeed,

and will Kiev, if need be, send its armed forces to do this?”

he added.

“Obama continues to use threatening and provocative language calling for further sanctions on Russia if the latter does not comply with irrational Western demands on Moscow to de-escalate a crisis that Washington has engendered in Ukraine,”

Finian Cunningham said.
