Statements that Russia seeks to "freeze" the situation in the Donbas has nothing to do with reality. The desire of US officials to demonize our country turns against them, because nobody wants to quarrel with Russia. This was stated by a member of the Federation Council Andrei Klimov.

The senator commented on the statement of US special representative for Ukraine Kurt Volcker, who said that the Russian authorities intend to "freeze" the situation in eastern Ukraine, which will lead to complete isolation of Moscow. "He was very late with this statement. Because before him, Mr. Obama and other people talked about this. If they do it sincerely, I sincerely feel sorry for them, "the politician said..

Such "scarecrows" are far from objective reality, he noted, because no one in the world wants to go on a break in relations with our country. "At least three-quarters of the world's states try to move away from the policy of confrontation with Russia as far as possible. And those who are on the first whistle of the United States is ready to execute their orders, not so much - 10-15 states. And their peoples are far from being like their governments, "Klimov said..

Senator Alexei Pushkov also doubted in his Twitter that the Western camp could make Russia an outcast country. "Volker frightens us in vain. The Obama experience showed that the US is not capable of this, "he wrote.

Kurt Volker shared his vision of the situation in the Donbass in an interview with the Financial Times. He said that Moscow's lack of decisive steps to settle the Donbas conflict could lead to political and economic isolation of the Russian Federation.

"Russia wants to freeze the conflict in the Donbass and pays for it with sanctions. The country may be thrown out of the system of diplomatic and economic relations - this is clearly not what we would like in Russia, "the diplomat said..

According to the special representative, the situation with the Ukrainian conflict will continue to hamper the dialogue between Washington and Moscow. "Relations between Russia and the US are important, but the Ukrainian problem will continue to harm them.". They will not settle until the problem is resolved, "he said, adding that Russia needs to make its own choice and calculate its consequences.

Volcker's words lack elementary logic, since in the same interview he confirmed that the United States leadership continues to discuss with the Ukrainian government the topic of deliveries of lethal weapons to Kiev. How the delivery of weapons of this class will help settle the Donbas conflict, the diplomat did not explain.

Part of the equipment could already reach Ukraine, the special representative confirmed.. He could be brought to Kiev by the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, who participated in the parade on the Independence Day of Ukraine. "I agree that the defense ministers do not come empty handed. The Minister of Defense brought certain defense equipment for the Ukrainian army, "the official said..

However, Washington is clearly playing a double game. Supporting the Kiev regime, in order to create a hotbed of tension at its borders with Russia, the US authorities are clearly afraid that Ukraine in the future will be able to become an independent player in the international arena. In a recent interview with the Ukrainian television channel, Kurt Volker recommended that Kiev refrain from attempts to restore its nuclear potential.

"If Ukraine did not join the countries that abandoned nuclear weapons, this would not be a good solution. I do not think that nuclear weapons would be anything positive for Ukraine. I would not like Ukraine to revive this process again, "said the American..
