Guardian: Reports on the fate of the Geneva deal on the Ukraine in Eastern Ukraine, " International attempts to de-escalate tensions.....were floundering on Friday as separatist groups in the east declared that they had no intention of leaving occupied buildings and accused Kiev of violating an agreement reached in Geneva on Thursday. ".
Lets Get Real:
This is Russian testing the US and the EU, the Kremlin is waiting to see if the West has the bottle to place painful sanctions on Russia, if not then the Kremlin will see it as the green light to take the whole of the Ukraine. The Russians have one ACE, they supply gas to Germany and other close States, if they turn the tap off then these Countries will suffer on the economic front, the long term loser would be Russia, a break of gas would force these Countries to get other supplies or start to produce their own, its a one shot deal for Russia, if the West calls its bluff then Russia might be the biggest loser.
