Threat of proxy war looms as US considers sending arms to Ukraine

While the US and European sanctions have taken a toll on Russia's economy they have not succeeded in convincing Vladimir Putin to end his intervention in eastern Ukraine.

Instead, Russian troops and tanks have continued to pour over the border in support of separatists fighting against the Ukrainian government and a ceasefire agreement between the two sides has collapsed into full-scale fighting.

Around 5,000 people have been killed since the armed conflict broke out in the spring of 2014, according to the UN. Around 50 people died over the weekend.

A spokeswoman for the State Department did not deny that the US was considering sending weapons but said no decision had been made.

"I don't think anybody wants to get into a proxy war with Russia and that is not our objective here. Our objective is to change the behaviour of Russia," she said.

A group of well-respected former US officials and academics released a new report on Monday arguing that the ongoing fighting in Ukraine shows the need for Washington to begin arming Kiev's forces.

"The West needs to bolster deterrence in Ukraine by raising the risks and costs to Russia of any renewed major offensive," the report says.

Its authors include James Stavridis, Gen Breedlove's predecessor as Nato's military commander, and Michele Flournoy, a former Pentagon official who would be in the running to become US defence secretary if Hillary Clinton wins the next election.

The report calls for America to give the Ukrainians anti-tank weapons for use against Russian armoured vehicles. Most of Kiev's anti-tank stockpile is left over from the Soviet era and around 70 per cent of the weapons are reportedly unusable.

If the White House followed the group's recommendations it would likely to lead to Russian troops being killed by American-supplied weapons and significantly raise the stakes of the West's standoff with Moscow.

"No one in our group made this recommendation lightly," said Steven Pifer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and one of the report's authors. "But Russia has been escalating because they see potential gains and very little cost. If you take away the so-called cheap military options there's a chance you can steer the Russians towards a real negotiation."

Mr Pifer told The Telegraph that if the US began supplying arms other Nato allies like Britain, Canada and Poland might follow suit.

Britain has so far supplied non-lethal support to the Ukrainians and a Foreign Office spokesman indicated that the UK was unlikely to begin sending arms. “We are clear that there cannot be a military solution to this crisis," he said.

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, categorically ruled out her country sending arms, saying: "It is my firm belief that this conflict cannot be solved militarily."

Qatar: Released Taliban Detainees Not Back to Militant Activities by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)

Qatar's foreign minister on Monday denied reports that one of five high-level Taliban detainees transferred from the Guantanamo Bay prison to Qatar has attempted to re-engage in militant activity. “It's totally false,” Foreign Minister Khaled al-Attiya said. “They are living according to the agreement we signed with the United States.” The five men were transferred from Guantanamo last May as part of an exchange that freed U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his military post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by militants. Under a deal struck by U.S. President Barack Obama and Qatar's emir, the five are supposed to be closely monitored to ensure they don't return to militant activities. CNN reported last week that U.S. military and intelligence officials suspect that one of the five, whom it did not identify, had “reached out” to suspected Taliban associates in Afghanistan to encourage militant activity. If confirmed, the development could present a political headache for Obama, who wants to close the Guantanamo facility and has accelerated the transfer of its remaining detainees. But al-Attiya, speaking at a forum sponsored by The Atlantic magazine, said there was no cause for concern. U.S. and Qatari security agencies “will monitor and pick up anything that will happen,” he said. “I can assure you, no one has made an attempt to go back” to Afghanistan, he added. Al-Attiya, who met earlier in the day with Secretary of State John Kerry, also pressed Qatar's position that the coalition fighting Islamic State in Syria should broaden its focus to include the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The narrow focus on Islamic State “is sad,” he said. “In fact, the regime was the magnet to attract the terrorist groups” to Syria, al-Attiya said, adding that only by replacing Assad “can we get rid of any terrorism in the region.”

Defense Swallows 15 Percent of Obama’s Budget Planby webdesk@voanews.com (Carla Babb)

Tuesday February 3rd, 2015 at 12:26 PM

Voice Of America

1 Share

President Barack Obama's $4 trillion budget includes $585 billion to sustain his national security and defense strategies. That's nearly 15 percent of the overall budget, and a request of $25 billion more than last year's enacted defense budget. Protecting the United States and its interests is an expensive undertaking, to the tune of $534 billion for a defense base budget and an additional $51 billion to cover overseas war funds. President Obama has called on Congress to approve his budget in its entirety. “This is one of our most basic and most important responsibilities as a government, so I am calling on Congress to get this done,” said Obama. The political problem is that this $585 billion request is much higher than the $499 billion spending cap Congress set in 2011. Ryan Crotty, deputy director for Defense Budget Analysis at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, thinks the 2016 defense budget proposal is meant to correct for a few years of insufficient funding. “Acting on what I think seems to be a broad consensus in both chambers and the executive that defense spending as it has been in the last couple of years is too low,” said Crotty. Too low given the current global threat environment. The funding includes more than $5 billion to counter Islamic State operations, through airstrikes and the training of Iraqi forces and moderate Syrian rebels. It also includes about $800 million for a European Reassurance Initiative, which funds training exercises with allies in Europe amid Russian aggression in Ukraine. And while the U.S. has completed its combat mission in Afghanistan, there are still billions in the budget to continue the support mission. “The drawdown, we’re talking about the boots on the ground, is not a linear drawdown for dollars. Even though our troops are inside the wire doing train, advise and assist and helping them build their force, we’re still out there trying to make sure those troops in the garrison are safe,” said Lt. Gen. Mark Ramsay, Director of Force Structure, Resources and Assesment on the Pentagon's joint staff. The Navy would receive a lot of the proposed budget increase, with billions of dollars for new ships to help bolster a shift to the Pacific region. Pentagon officials explain the majority of the budget is for investing in the future. “We have three years of built-up demand on modernization that we haven’t been able to get to,” said Undersecretary of Defense Bob Work. “If we don’t do that today, we’re not going to stay ahead of our potential adversaries,” said Ramsay. In addition to new air and sea equipment, these investments include maintenance on nuclear facilities and advancements in cyber security.

Вооруженные силы ДНР и ЛНР продолжают окружение крупной группировки ВСУ, расположенной в окрестностях и самом городе Дебальцево, на что украинская армия отвечает провокациями.

По информации штаба армии ДНР, минувшей ночью противник неоднократно пытался прорваться из Дебальцево к Попасной, но все эти попытки были пресечены. Одновременно из Артемовска по направлению к блокированной группировке начали выдвигаться новые резервы украинской армии.

На сегодняшний день вооруженные силы Донецкой Народной Республики успешно блокируют трассу Артемовск — Дебальцево, не позволяя противнику поставлять в котел вооружения, боеприпасы и живую силу. Накануне несколько боевых машин ВСУ пытались вырваться по дороге, пристроившись в хвост колонны гражданских машин, но были остановлены предупредительным огнем в воздух. В самом Дебальцево зафиксированы стычки между карателями и местными жителями, которые возмущаются обустройством боевых позиций оккупантов среди жилых кварталов.

Сегодня подразделения ДНР взяли Каменку, а также провели зачистку Углегорска и Чернухино. В районе Горловки защитникам Донбасса удалось подбить разведывательный самолет противника. По информации Казачьей национальной гвардии, аналогичный борт был сбит и в окрестностях Ирмино (ЛНР).

В Донецк карателями была заброшена диверсионная группа в составе двенадцати человек, проникшая в город под видом ополченцев. Один из боевиков был пойман, остальных пока ловят.
