Let's be clear about this: Russia is invading Ukraine right now

2 Shares
There are two things happening between Ukraine and Russia right now. First, Russian and Ukrainian leaders are meeting in Belarus to negotiate a peace deal in the Ukrainian conflict that Russia insists it has nothing to do with. Second, Russian military forces are crossing the border into Ukraine in what is clearly a hostile invasion and act of war. That includes Russian artillery, Russian tanks, Russian-trained irregular forces, and even uniformed Russian soldiers who have admitted on camera that they are Russian military ordered to invade by their commanders.
But the first piece of that is obfuscating the second. Getting Russia to agree to a peace deal on Ukraine requires lots of careful diplomacy, and that means that no one wants to formally acknowledge Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even though Russia is definitely invading Ukraine right now. That's how you have even the more hawkish figures in the Obama administration making statements like this:
When is a Russian invasion of a neighboring country an incursion and an escalation, but not actually an invasion? When acknowledging that is in an invasion would complicate diplomacy to the point that ending the invasion could become much harder.
But there's more behind this confusion than just careful diplomacy. Russian President Vladimir Putin learned a crucial lesson from Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad last year, when the latter got away with using chemical weapons against his own people.

How to cross an American red line: slowly

That lesson is this: the Western world can set all the red lines it wants — don't use chemical weapons, don't invade sovereign countries — but if you cross that red line just a little bit at a time, inching across over weeks and months, rather than crossing it all at once, then Western publics and politicians will get red-line fatigue and lose interest by the time you're across.
Had Assad just openly dropped tons of sarin gas on his own people one day, the world probably would have responded much more forcefully than it did. Instead, cynically but smartly, Assad spent months using very small amounts of chemical weapons at a time. He created lots of uncertainty around individual incidents: had the chemical weapons killed anyone? Been used at all? Were they used accidentally, or even by rebels who'd stolen them? He kicked inspectors out, then kept them in; he cooperated, then didn't.
By the time Assad fired sarin-filled rockets at the neighborhood of Ghouta, murdering hundreds of civilians, including a number of children, the world had already acclimated to the idea that Assad was probably using chemical weapons. Western leaders could only muster so much outrage, and Western publics could only be so shocked, because everyone sorta, kinda knew that this was already happening and was going unpunished. There was no clear moment at which Assad had crossed the chemical weapons red line, so one day we woke up and realized he was miles on the wrong side of it, and it was too late to muster enough global outrage to push him back.

Putin's stealth invasion, right out in the open

That's what Putin did in eastern Ukraine this summer. First he began quietly supporting the separatist rebels there, then arming them. Then an awful lot of military-trained Russian nationals started slipping in, as Moscow had done before when invading and annexing Crimea in March.
In July, in the weeks before boneheaded rebels shot down a civilian airliner and killed 298 people, Russia began shipping them high-grade military technology, including surface-to-air missile systems. Shortly after the airliner shoot-down, Russian artillery in Russia began firing at Ukrainian military forces in Ukraine — an overt act of war. Then NATO said it caught Russia sending an "incursion" force across the border, which Ukraine claimed to destroy. Later, according to the rebel leader in Ukraine, 30 Russian tanks and up to 1,200 Russian-trained troops did manage to cross. By August 22nd, Russian artillery units were reportedly crossing the border into Ukraine, and a few days later, Ukraine captured "rebels" who admitted to being Russian soldiers sent under formal order.
Russia's meddling in eastern Ukraine became a stealth invasion, which has become an overt invasion. But it was all done just gradually enough, and with just enough uncertainty around each incremental escalation, that Russia has managed to invade a sovereign European country, in the year 2014, without sparking any larger war or the credible threat of any substantial response beyond sanctions.
That's not to argue that Western countries should have responded with more sanctions (even that took substantial cajoling from the US), but the point is that Putin shrewdly prevented it from happening by playing on the vulnerabilities of Western democracies: short attention spans, rapid war fatigue, and the often-unwise pull of popular opinion.

Новоазовск взят под полный контроль сил АТО

Город Новоазовск Донецкой области взят под полный контроль сил антитеррористической операции. Об этом на брифинге заявил спикер информационно-аналитического центра СНБО Андрей Лысенко.
«Ситуация в районе Новоазовска остается пока сложной. После того, как украинским войскам поступило подкрепление, населенный пункт взят под полный контроль объединенных войск АТО и добровольческих батальонов территориальной обороны», - заявил Лысенко.
При этом корреспондент «Коммерсанта», работающий в месте событий сообщил, что населенный пункт Новоазовск взят под контроль представителей ДНР.
«Около трех часов по местному времени без боя и без стрельбы в Новоазовск вошли танки с символикой ДНР. Примерно в это же время оттуда начали организованными колоннами выезжать украинские военные. Их позиции сдвинулись к Мариуполю. Большая их часть находится сейчас в районе села Безыменного», - пишет «Коммерсант».
Напомним, ранее в СНБО сообщали, что представители так называемой Донецкой Народной Республики взяли под контроль ряд населенных пунктов севернее Новоазовска (Донецкая область).

On The Edge Of War: The Latest Russian And Ukraine Troop Movements

1 Share
If Putin needed a pretext to finally drive across the Ukraine border, he got it today following first the death of nearly 40 pro-Russian protesters in Odessa during a confrontation between pro-Russia and pro-Kiev forces, and then, what appears to be a storming in progress right now by the Ukraine national guard of yet another separatist-controlled city in east Ukraine: Kramatorsk.
According to RT, Ukraine’s National Guard is storming the eastern town of Kramatorsk even as it has also resumed its special operation in Slavyansk, where two soldiers have been killed.
“The assault is starting now,” a Kramatorsk self-defense activist has told RIA Novosti by phone. Another activist told the news agency that the National Guard opened fire on self-defense forces.
Dozens have been killed or injured in Kramatorsk, a doctor told RIA Novosti. The medic added that the fighting has now stopped and all of those injured have been taken to hospitals in Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. At least two died on the way to the hospital, she said.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military’s special operation has resumed in the nearby town of Slavyansk. The headquarters of the people’s self-defense is under snipers’ fire, according to Itar-Tass. There are reports of injuries among protesters.
Recall that Putin has made it very clear that all the Kremlin needs to green light an operation in Ukraine is a pretext of "self-defense" for the pro-Russian citizens currently there being attacked by the local military, something which if the tables were turned, would have been classified as a civil war by the impartial western media.
So what does the theater of operations look like should Russia finally get involved?
The Washington Post is publishing a new map that shows, using information from the Royal United Services Institute, recent troop movements in the region. The graphic illustrates how military exercises conducted by Russia have left a big build-up of troops on Ukraine's border. It also shows Ukraine's own military moves to its borders with Russia and Moldova's Russian-dominated enclave, Transnistria.
It may be a long weekend.

Window on Eurasia: Putin May Not Get His Single History Textbook 

1 Share

Paul Goble


            Staunton, August 27 – Vladimir Putin’s April 2013 call for the creation of a single school history textbook lest variations lead to “the violation of the humanitarian space of ‘our multi-national nation” has sparked objections from Russian nationalists and the Russian Orthodox Church who say it downplays the Russianness of the state and from non-Russians who say such a text would downplay their uniqueness.


            Just how sensitive and even explosive this issue is was highlighted today by a statement of Russian education minister Dmitry Livanov that there won’t be a single textbook but rather a single standard for the development of textbooks and the ministry’s almost immediate disowning of that statement.


            At a press conference earlier today, Livanov declared that “most likely we will not have a single history textbook” as Putin apparently had called for. Instead, Russia “will have a single historical-cultural standard on the basis of which will be developed history textbooks. That does not mean there will be one single textbook.


            Because of what appeared to be a rare defeat for a Putin proposal and a victory for his opponents both among Russians and non-Russians, the minister’s words attracted the attention of Russian media from the official to the opposition (ria.ru/society/20140827/1021587921.html,kasparov.ru/material.php?id=53FD9C8A0C025 and nazaccent.ru/content/12934-ministerstvo-obrazovaniya-otkazalos-ot-vvedeniya-edinogo.html).


            But almost immediately they also triggered a clarification by Anna Usacheva, Livanov’s press secretary, who said that some in the media had proven incapable of seeing “the differences between the terms ‘a single book’ and ‘a single conception’ of history.” No one has given up on the latter, she suggested (interfax.ru/russia/393568 and nazaccent.ru/content/12939-ministerstvo-obrazovaniya-ne-sobiraetsya-otkazyvatsya-ot.html).


            However that may be, the opponents of a single textbook are certainly going to view this as a victory because it suggests that the education ministry itself is anything but committed to what Putin said he wanted and that they will press their case in the coming months as such textbooks are being prepared for the 2015-2016 school year.


            Moreover, many who may not be concerned with this specific issue are likely to view it as evidence that the Putin regime is not quite as monolithic as some think and lead some to try to reopen issues that the Kremlin leader’s declarations had suggested were already closed.

Между генштабами Украины и России состоялся первый контакт - Новости Политики

Массовые акции протеста, проходившие с февраля в восточном и южном регионах Украины под лозунгами федерализации страны привели к провозглашению независимости ряда областей. Ответом официальных властей стало проведение «контртеррористической операции», которая привела к многочисленным жертвам с обеих сторон.
Первый контакт между генеральными штабами Украины и России уже состоялся. Об этом 26 августа на брифинге заявил спикер МИД Украины Евгений Перебийнис, передает РБК-Украина.
При этом он выразил надежду, что в ближайшее время удастся наладить контакты в рамках трехсторонней контактной группы (Украина-РФ-ОБСЕ), а также между руководством пограничных ведомств Украины и России.
«Мы надеемся, что уже на протяжении ближайших часов и дней активизируется трехсторонняя контактная группа, которая по договоренности имеет полномочия на обсуждения всего комплекса вопросов. Мы также надеемся, что в ближайшие часы будут установлены контакты между руководством пограничных служб Украины и России для того, чтобы выработать четкий алгоритм закрытия границы», — заявил Перебийнис.
Напомним, ранее российский генштаб отказался от переговоров между руководством генеральных штабов Украины и России по пересечению границы грузовиками с «гуманитарным грузом».

Ukraine has accused Russia of new military incursions into its territory, a day after hours of talks between the two countries' presidents appeared to yield little in the way of concrete results.
Vladimir Putin and Petro Poroshenko had met in Minsk on Tuesday, speaking privately for two hours after several hours of broader round-table talks including EU representatives and the presidents of Belarus and Kazakhstan. But the two leaders had very different readings of what was agreed.
Ukrainian president Poroshenko claimed that all the heads of state present at the talks, including Putin, had signed up to supporting his "peace plan", and also said that there was agreement that Ukrainian and Russian border guard services would meet soon to discuss the situation on the border.
Putin, however, said the discussions were "first and foremost [about] economic cooperation" and claimed that all talks about resolving the conflict should be between Kiev and representatives of the eastern regions.
"We did not discuss this matter substantively," said Putin. "Frankly speaking, we cannot discuss any conditions for a ceasefire or possible agreements between Kiev, Donetsk and Luhansk. This is not our business; it is a domestic matter of Ukraine itself."
Putin's words ignore the fact that the Ukraine has lost control of a section of the border and believes Russian arms and fighters are crossing freely to aid the rebels. There are also increasing fears that regular Russian army units are active in the east.
These have been bolstered with claims of secret funerals for Russian servicemen apparently killed in action in Ukraine, as well as the most concrete evidence yet: the capture of nine serving Russian soldiers on Ukrainian soil. For the first time, sources in Russia's defence ministry admitted that there were soldiers in Ukraine, but said they had been part of a border patrol that had crossed into Ukrainian territory "by accident".
Putin admitted that Russian soldiers had been caught in Ukraine, but insisted they had crossed the border accidentally, and compared the incident to Ukrainian soldiers who have crossed the border to escape encirclement by rebel forces.
"After all, Ukrainian service members entered our territory with armoured equipment, and we didn't have any problems. I hope that in this case, there also will not be any problems with the Ukrainian side," said Putin.
Ukraine paraded some of the soldiers at a press conference in Kiev on WednesdayThe soldiers, dressed in military fatigues, said they had realised since their capture that Russian media was lying about the situation in Ukraine. However, given the circumstances, it was not possible to tell whether the men were speaking freely or under duress.
Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko claimed on Wednesday that more Russian soldiers had crossed into Ukraine in five armoured personnel carriers.
"Five armoured infantry carriers and one Kamaz truck entered Amvrosiyivka with men in them," Lysenko told journalists in Kiev.
"If this tactical group got lost and accidentally came into Ukraine like the paratroops of the 98th paratroop division then it remains for us to remind them that they can return to Russia, taking an easterly direction," said Lysenko.
Disquiet in Russia over the country's ambiguous role is beginning to grow, as more circumstantial evidence of military activity emerges. An editorial in the respected Russian daily Vedomosti on Wednesday said Russian officials had a responsibility to explain whether or not the country was at war.
"Is Russia fighting in Ukraine, and if it is, on what basis? If it's not, then who has been buried in these fresh graves, and who is being questioned by Ukrainian security services?"

Window on Eurasia: Moscow ‘Evacuates’ Factory from Ukraine to Chuvashia

            Staunton, August 27 – The Russian Spring portal has proudly declared that “the Luhansk machine-building factory is being evacuated to Russian Chuvashia,” an operation it said was taking place “as a result of extreme circumstances:” the factory supposedly was under fire from Ukrainian forces and much of it had been “destroyed” (rusvesna.su/news/1409122644).


            It is likely that at least part of the factory’s equipment was removed by the trucks that Moscow had said were an aid convoy, and it is entirely possible that what Russian forces have done in this case is the first round of a broader program of destroying infrastructure in southeastern Ukraine so that Kyiv will face larger problems even if Russia withdraws.      


            According to the Russian Spring site, the decision to “evacuate” the factory – the term is the same one Soviet officials used during World War II when they pulled back industrial plants in the face of the Nazi invasion – was taken after the factory itself was damaged by Ukrainian artillery fire.


            The factory is being restored in an industrial park five kilometers outside of Cheboksary, the capital of Chuvashia, the Christian Turkic republic in the Middle Volga. Workers from the Ukrainian plant are already there preparing to restart operations, something that is easier, the site says, because for 12 years, Lugansk Mash has been working exclusively for the Russian market.


            Russian Spring says that the factory, which is to resume production on Friday, will provide work for “no fewer than 50” local people, even though most of those who had been its employees in Luhansk are on their way there. These “’former Ukrainians,’” the site says, intend to put down roots in Russia.” All of them will be given Russian citizenship and passports.


            According to the independent Chuvash news service, Irekle.org, Russian officials initially planned to relocate the Luhansk plant in Rostov but then decided to reopen it near Cheboksary.  All of its employees are being transferred there, with some 23 families already having made the move (irekle.org/news/i1920.html).


            In reporting this development, Irekle.org said that “a war has been going on for several months” in Luhanska and Donetsk, a conflict in which the Ukrainian site reports “Russian soldiers are taking part” – despite denials by Moscow officials that its military personnel are involved in the conflict.
