The
strategists behind the rebellion in Ukraine know that the EU States are now
pretty busy with very demanding issues – internal security, Quantitative Easing
and the possible consequences of the elections in Greece. Therefore, they considered
this was a good time to reinforce the rebels and go for an offensive beyond the
territories already held by the insurgency.
That´s
what is taking place today. There is a dramatic increase on the rebel activity.
And we have all the indications that show the combatants have been strengthened
by their supporters and are now ready for additional gains.
The
attack against the port city of Mariupol is the latest development in this strategy.
If the city falls into rebel hands that will be a major blow for the Kiev
authorities. In view of this, the allies of Ukraine have to go the extra mile
to help the government to retain control of Mariupol. They have also to be very
clear at the OSCE. The organisation has several teams on the ground, including
in Mariupol. They should be in a position to say, in very clear terms, who is
the aggressor. And they have to be brave and say it without any further delay.
Unfortunately,
OSCE has shown to live in an impasse. And they will keep showing it, demonstrating
their irrelevance.
