SO HERE IT COMES...

Right after I published the previous post, the answer did come immediately on BBC! 

 So Russia has decided to play with the gas tap over Europe. Not a big surprise, huh?  Well, but it’s already known that Europe has decided to pay Ukrainian debt as a bailout. 

So why such a sudden warning? Right now Europe is not so desperate – after considerably mild winter and all the summer ahead, Europe can’t be forced into some desperate actions. 

Yahoo in turns report that Moscow has rejected warnings over oil deal with Iran. It looks like a rather fierce and rather pointless verbal escalation.  

Does Russia has a cunning plan hidden in the sleeve? Or the reason is this? I would like to put my bet on NATO deployment as the only force Russia is able to accept is its own.

CHANGE OF WIND

Last night while monitoring BBC wanting to see how they will put the story about Lugansk together,  suspicions started rolling over me.

This morning they have grown into something much stronger than just suspicions. Now I am sure, for certain, that deal over Russia is done.

  If You looked at BBC front page this morning,  there were no news about Ukraine at all. Nada. Zilch.  No reports about anything! Even I know that 60 hostages with a lot of weapons involved is a TOP story everywhere. But strange enough, not for BBC.

Then I checked Yahoo. The same. Lugansk wasn’t mentioned at all. The only story involving Russia was this:

Then a bit later on some news (still not on BBC) appeared the story from European Parliament, stating that EU will not implement new sanctions now as they have “common interests” with Russia over energy supplies.

For Shultzs it means changing official opinion by 180 degree since 20^th March. 

Would be rather interesting to know, why such an evasive media coverage out of the blue? 

Whatever the reasons are, I’m sure that Putin believes now that he has freedom to do whatever he wishes.
