Trump will not fight for Ukraine against Putin: the reason was voiced in the US

US President Donald Trump will not go publicly for a military conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin through Ukraine, because he does not see that Ukraine itself was in an open state of war with Russia.

Such an opinion was expressed by an ex-representative of NATO in Russia, Harry Tabach, in an interview with the "Apostrophe".

"Left media write that he shook his hand to Putin, and to him Merkel shook, McCran shrugged, Trump shook the third, but only show him. What did he have to do? Put Putin in the nose? Start war with Putin through Ukraine, regardless the fact that Ukraine itself has diplomatic relations and business relations with Russia, do you fight with Russia, do not you fight? For America this is also not clear, "he says.

"We always have to meet and talk. Russia does not show any interest or progress on this issue. In fact, they said they did not want to do anything during the presidential election," Volker said.

Speaking about the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, the special representative of the State Department said: "Minsk agreements are extremely important, and we would like them to be realized. The world, the withdrawal of heavy weapons, if we manage to create conditions for holding elections, amnesty, implementation of a special status (Donbass. - Ed.), Restoration of Ukrainian control and sovereignty over the territory. These are what the Minsk agreements say and we all support them. It is only necessary to implement them."

At the same time, he admitted that the fault of Russia, the Minsk agreements do not work properly. "They never worked well because Russia refused to implement them. There was never a ceasefire, heavy weapons or cooperation on this issue," Volker explained.

Russia - Ukraine News. Sunday 17 February. [Ukrainian sources] Empty The Kremlin's propagandist died, who wrote Putin's book on the capture of Ukraine

The Kremlin's propagandist died, who wrote Putin's book on the capture of Ukraine

In Russia, on the 60th anniversary of the Kremlin's propagandist Mikhail Yuriev died , who in recent years has been working on one of the RosTBs and has blurred various scandals, including hatred towards Ukraine.

This is reported by Komsomolskaya Pravda, where he worked in recent years.

The reason for the death of Yuriyev is not reported. It is noted that in recent months he was seriously ill.

In the past few years, Yuriyev has led the program "Glavtema" whose propagandists regularly raised the theme of "election" of Russia, told tales of its supposed majesty, fueled the fire of hatred towards Ukraine and the Western powers who "dared to get on the path" in ambitious plans Moscow

Yuriev at one time was a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the party "Yabloko", in 1996 he served as deputy chairman of the lower house of parliament. He also became the author of the Third Empire, " Russia, which should be" and "Fortress Russia. Farewell to Liberalism." He "prophesied" about the rapid collapse of the Ukrainian state, but never lived up to this, undoubtedly long-awaited event.

Yuriev repeatedly appeared in the epicenter of loud scandals. Yes, in May last year, a large group of Armenians blocked the KP office in Moscow, demanding apologies for the offensive statements of an odious politician and his colleague to the Armenian people.

The network reacted violently to the death of the Kremlin's propagandist.

As reported by the "Apostrophe", during the Munich Conference on Security, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko refused to speak with Russian propagandists , demanding apologies for Ukraine.
