Peacekeepers in the Donbas and Crimea: the end of one of the OSCE or the beginning of a major war?

Миротворцы на Донбассе и в Крыму: конец одной ОБСЕ или начало большой войны?

The Committee of the OSCE parliamentary Assembly adopted a resolution on peacekeeping operations in Ukraine and strengthening control over the borders, the access of international missions to all objects in the DNR and LNR, Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as on the call for participating countries to continue economic and political sanctions against Russia to fulfill international requirements and to the end of the illegal occupation of the Crimea.”

For those who discuss peace initiatives, as well as options of the lifting of sanctions, the Russian deputies a blow was clearly below the belt, and they refused to participate in the discussion and left the meeting room.

The Russian delegation will not take part in the meetings of the OSCE PA, and it does it has no impact, said first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on international Affairs Leonid Kalashnikov.

We will remind, on Sunday, July 3, the delegation from Russia refused to participate in the discussion of Ukraine prepared the draft resolution of the parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE in the Crimea.

The Russian side found the document “absolutely biased, with pronounced anti-Russian character” and not subject to edit.

“Russia will not support him, this is unacceptable. The document must be rejected by the parliamentary Assembly,” − said the lava of the Russian delegation in the parliamentary Assembly and state Duma Deputy Nikolai Kovalev. As a result, in protest, the Russian delegation left the meeting room.

Kovalev said that the document refers to “torture”, but there is no evidence. “That is all some propaganda slogans: “systematically violated human rights, “the situation worsens”, “we must immediately take measures to punish Russia”, — said the head of the Russian delegation. Kovalev said that Moscow does not agree with such statement of a question.

He also said that Russia supported by the French delegation, which noted that not long ago arrived in the Crimea representatives of the Council of Europe. “By the way, in the resolution it was mentioned that no observers are allowed… or Anything like that, we said, please come,” added Kovalev.

“Someone had doubts, the hopes of some friendliness of the OSCE. I think in this situation it is an attempt to breach the defense, which is built around Russia”, − he concluded.

It is noteworthy that Russian media write only about the Crimea, but no word on the transfer of the border and the entry of NATO troops under the aegis of a peacekeeping mission and there is the assumption that linking Crimea with the Donbas was a major mistake “observers”.

Russian media have missed such a tiny detail that the resolution was drafted not in Ukraine, according to Laskowski MP and especially not Europeans: the French were on the side of Russia, and the German MP was trying to argue. The document was prepared by the Americans, and what is written on the OSCE website: “Under the chairmanship of us Senator Roger Wicker, the Commission discussed a number of issues related to the situation in the field of security in the region, with special emphasis on the problems of terrorism and settlement of the conflict in Ukraine on the basis of full implementation of the Minsk agreements”.

Now drop the emotion and considered, which would entail the resolution.

A little bit of facts. The first and most else — it is not mandatory, but it can’t be ignored by the mission and the implementation of the OSCE leaders will be held accountable.

Second, the resolution was adopted a few days before the start of the NATO summit, which without a doubt will be sent a petition for the introduction of a “peacekeeping mission”. “Accidentally” had and 300 tanks in Romania.

Third, Russia can not wipe and pretend that nothing happened. If it won’t turn back and join the Donbass and the Crimea, and this will not be, recognizing the surrender of Ukraine’s Donbas, a gun run and the return of the Crimea, which is not acceptable at all in any way.

Fourth, having taken anti-Russian resolution and standing on the side of Kiev, the OSCE can no longer be a mediator. Now that organization is a supporter of our American and Kiev “partners” and the person concerned. Thus, Russia may declare refusal from “Minsk” on the basis of the interest of the OSCE, but to do it before and during the NATO summit will not.

Now about where this will lead.

The West openly and rapidly started to implement the Yugoslav scenario where Donbas is Krajina, and the Crimea — Kosovo. In this case no exchange of Donbass Crimea or sanctions will not, they want everything it is advisable Putin on top. It is in consequence of the excess insolence, Russia will not allow this scenario: all bargaining attempts have been zeroed and the emergence of NATO troops in Donbass even in blue, even in bright helmets will be forced to act similarly: in the breath of the Northern wind ” to open the invasion to Donbass.

Even the most ardent supporters of the “Donbass is Ukraine” in the Kremlin will not surrender Crimea, and it is the next item in the resolution. “Terrible crimes” against the Crimean Tatar people come up there in a jiffy, forcing him to make excuses and deny until until make sure that in Kerch Tatars in cauldrons. Remember how under the supervision of the OSCE in Kosovo made a fake concentration camps for Kosovars, which gave reason to invade NATO.

With good alignment, all of the old agreement with Ukraine to fly to so-and-so’s grandmother and “vile separatists” can take Mariupol, Kharkiv though.

The second option, requesting the maximum, the United States begin the bargaining over specific things and then, due to the threat of increased sanctions and pressure on the Crimea, it is possible to reach an agreement on NATO in the Donbas — no OSCE with guns was not discussed, the resolution clearly appears the phrase “peacekeeping mission”.

All pretend that nothing is happening, the mainstream media talk about the goat Timur, and APU and NATO smashing the Donbass.

The trouble is that the result will be the struggle for the Crimea and forth over the head of Putin — no one has repealed.

Option three: pure politics. On the eve of the NATO summit, the OSCE along with U.S. and angered the Russians, in order for a reaction to achieve the unity of anti-Russian coalition. But most of all, as mentioned before, this reaction, although it is possible and even a couple of statements to make in Crimea and Donbass.

However, probably the creation of such a coalition is included in the additional bonuses from the effect of the resolution.

Total: tomorrow will be announced all the woodpeckers of the world agencies that Russia has refused to consider a peaceful settlement in Ukraine and the “international community” will go on open confrontation with far-reaching consequences, or will have to come up with a new OSCE. Before them, and to consider how disinterested you have to be really naive the state Duma of the Russian Federation, and now is not will they.
