If the Kiev Maidan, Nuland publicly handed out right and left cookies, in Moscow she at first she went to eat. As reported, the official visit of assistant Secretary of state started with the fact that she went to the restaurant along with U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Tefft, where he tasted the dumplings with sour cream.
It turned out that Tefft did a big lover of dumplings. The incident was captured on photos distributed by the Embassy of the United States, where Nuland smile shows skewered on a fork dumpling, and Tefft at the same chuckles appreciatively.
However, sit long in the restaurant, us envoy did not, and immediately went to meet with the “opposition”, although, more accurately, would be to say that American agents in our country. It is known that the head of the Helsinki group in Moscow, Lyudmila Alexeyeva is a U.S. citizen. A conversation between two elderly ladies with us passports on Russia have affected, in particular, the state of political NGOs with foreign funding.
Alekseev complained Nuland on a law requiring nonprofit organizations to report on the grants and be labeled a “foreign agent”, when the money for their activities comes from abroad.
Victoria Nuland expressed her sympathy, but additional public support refused, saying: “If I will Express about this concern, called the particular organization, how would I never hurt them”.
“I agreed that it is very possible that this will be so, and you’d better not,” – said Alexeyev then.
The conversation lasted about 50 minutes, he told in an interview with radio station “Moscow speaking” the head of the Helsinki group. According to her, the American guest, “very upset anti-American propaganda that poured out of the TV. I asked how much, in my opinion, it is effective. She is very concerned about the fate of Savchenko hopes that somehow could help her out”. She added that Nuland knows the Russian language. “I began to speak English, and she says in Russian understands. They were with a translator. She said that in 1984 he worked on a Soviet ship and there learned the Russian language. I say that once you are on the ship studied, it is probably abusive and understand Russian. “Oh, yeah, and obscenely know,” said she,” – said Alekseev.
After this informative gatherings Victoria Nuland went to the foreign Ministry. State Department spokesman held a series of meetings, in particular, with the Deputy foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin and Sergei Ryabkov.
In an interview with radio station “Moscow speaking”, Karasin said that the sides discussed measures to settle the situation in Ukraine. “Dialogue on the situation in Ukraine is quite detailed, candid and at times hard. We focused on an exchange of views on the specific parameters of a settlement, OSCE activities, activities of the joint center for coordination and control, the schedule of the working groups. Went through all the most important issues,” Karasin said. According to him, to talk about the results of the meeting yet.
Met assistant Secretary of state and assistant to the President of Russia Vladislav Surkov. After negotiations, she stated that the US does not recognize elections in the Donbass in case they pass out of the Minsk agreement, and demanded their speedy implementation. Nuland noted that the United States allegedly want the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible was solved, and said that if the Minsk agreements are fulfilled, then the sanctions against Russia may be withdrawn, although, as you know, our country is not a party to the conflict, and violate the implementation of the agreements, Kiev.
She added that, unlike the meeting with Vladislav Surkov, the talks with Sergei Ryabkov they talked about bilateral issues. Earlier, Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow is disappointed with the current state of Russian-American bilateral relations. “The reshuffle. The overall situation in bilateral relations is depressing, and we believe that the responsibility for this in Washington,” Ryabkov was quoted by “Interfax”. At the same time, he said, Moscow does not rule out increasing the number of contacts with the Americans in the near future.
At the American center in Moscow, Nuland also met with the “young leaders”. Whether she had made with him, as in Kiev, they were something to eat – is unknown? The meeting was held behind closed doors.
It is unknown who exactly it was attended by the Russian side. It is clear only that there were just those whom the United States are preparing for the same role, to which they gradually, and not one year, preparing those who received from the hands of the same Nuland “cookies” on the Maidan, and then have made on the Ukraine coup.
And that Ms. Nuland such cases are abroad and engaged, and clearly demonstrates her whole biography. Her father is Professor of surgery and bioethics at Yale University, writer. As evidenced by Wikipedia, father’s father, Meyer Nudelman — Jewish origin, arrived in America 18-year-old boys in 1907, from the Bessarabian village of Novoselytsia. Victoria graduated from Brown University. Run in it to work against Russia began long ago. According to her own statements, in 1982 Nuland visited for the first time in Odessa, where he worked for the exchange as a counselor in summer camp “Young guard”. At the age of 23 during the eight months actually worked as an interpreter at a Soviet merchant ship. Where as she later admitted, learned profanity.
In 1991-1993, she was launched in Russia in the diplomatic line – she worked at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, where he was responsible for ties with the Yeltsin government. In 1997-1999 — Deputy Director on Affairs of the former Soviet Union at the State Department, he was responsible for U.S. policy towards Russia and the Caucasus countries. In this capacity, she was awarded the Secretary of defense medal for work during NATO’s war against Yugoslavia.
In 2005-2008 — the U.S. permanent representative to NATO. In summer 2011, Nuland became the press Secretary of the U.S. Department of state. In 2013 he was appointed to the position of assistant Secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia. The wide acclaim we received after 11 December 2013, visited the Maidan, where you gave the “revolutionaries” biscuits, buns and bread. 7 Feb 2014
Nuland was at the center of a diplomatic scandal in connection with published on the Internet record a telephone conversation between a woman and a man, which presumably was she and U.S. Ambassador to Ukrainethere Payette.
During the conversation with the Nuland admitted it was obscene remark about the EU, regarding its participation in resolving the political crisis in Ukraine: “it would Be great if the UN will help it all to stick together, and let the EU goes on…” As you can see, the lessons of the “specific” language of Russian merchant ship, send her for the future.
So what Nuland has made this time in Moscow, except that inspected the opposition, that is to say, the American agents in Moscow? Apparently, a little. “The visit of U.S. assistant Secretary of state Victoria Nuland in Moscow brought no breakthrough success, it aims to support communication,” said state Department spokesman Jeff Rathke.
Well, thanks for that! And the United States point to supposedly “isolate Russia,” and they continuously send to Moscow emissaries for negotiations. The us Secretary of state John Kerry meets with our Minister of foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, now Nuland. Which in the absence of a “breakthrough”, the only consolation is that at least the ravioli was succeeded in Moscow to enjoy. Although, as reported by the TV station REN TV, Moscow, Nuland at the end of the visit still “lapsed”: began to distribute bagels came to the press conference to the press.
