The
new round of talks in Minsk – just one short day around the table – ended without any
type of progress. It´s no surprise. The situation on the ground in Ukraine is
deteriorating fast. The rebels and their backers are on the offensive and fully
convinced they have the initiative. They can afford to say no to the Minsk pretence.
OSCE
and my friend Heidi Tagliavini, the peace facilitator, have shown a lot of
patience. I admire them. They should continue their efforts. Even if they are
just useful to let everyone see that the rebellion is not in a mood to talk
about peace. The rebels know they can count on the support of their powerful
godfather.
