Will Russia HALT Gas to the West? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.48pm post the following, " Germany and France have again rejected demands by Russia that European countries pay for its gas in rouble as an unacceptable breach of contracts, adding that the manoeuvre amounted to “blackmail”, Reuters report.  "

Lets Get Real:

Putin is trying to con the West the he will STOP the gas to the West, he cannot do that, the Russian economy would founder and Putin could not afford to carry on with his WAR in the Ukraine.  The above is KREMLIN move to see if it can split the West on the issue of gas and its support for the Ukraine.  One does wonder if Putin is that out of it, that he only sees what he wants to see and cannot accept that the WAR was a massive mistake.  If Russia cuts off the GAS the European economy would take a major blow, but it would show that the West could not be blackmailed by Russia.  The West should still pay for its gas through using DOLLARS or EUROS, if the Russians have a problem, then its their fault, they invaded the Ukraine and NOW they are paying the political price. 

No Ceasefire in the Ukraine - Putin - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.59am post the following, " Vladimir Putin believes conditions for ceasefire in Ukraine 'not mature' yet, Italian PM says  "

Lets Get Real:

The above shows that Putin is quite willing to kill many more of the people of the Ukraine and also face the losses of his own Soldiers, the idea that Putin and Russia area interested in talk shows that this is a lie.  The Kremlin is trying to deflect with the talks in Turkey, it wants to give the impression that it is willing to talk, the truth being that Putin is not getting full facts from his staff because they afraid of him, so he might be thinking that the WAR is going well, that would show that Putin has lost the plot, a trait he shares with Adolf Hitler.  As long as NATO and the US keep supporting the KYIV Government they cannot lose, as to can they win, that is a different matter, the Ukraine Forces are limited, while Russia has the biggest army in Europe and can draft more people.  This winner of this WAR will be the last State standing.

Putin regrouping not withdrawing - NATO - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.03pm post the following, " Russia is not withdrawing but regrouping - Nato chief....He says Russian forces are not withdrawing but "regrouping", adding that Nato expects "additional offensive actions".  "

Lets Get Real:

The NATO Secretary General added further that he expects the Russians to move their troops to the East were they have been successful so far.  The Russians cannot be trusted, the Kyiv delegation in talk with the the Russians in Turkey have stated that that they are optimistic, while the Russians in Moscow have been very negative, also the Russians are increasing the bombing of Ukraine Villages, Town and Cities.  The Russians and the Kremlin might be playing the LONG GAME, hoping that the West, well the news channels get bored with the story and it falls from the top of the news.  That might have happened if the WAR was outside Europe, but it is not, it is in the heart of Europe, and Ukraine is a democratic State facing the might of Russia.   Also the WEST is worried that Putin will use WMD, that would take the WAR to a new level and drag in the West.
