The ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is broken. The West is Russia’s president to blame – surprisingly NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg is now Putin personally. At the G20 summit, Chancellor Merkel will probably play a key role again.

Actually, it should go at the G20 summit in Australia to economic issues, but now the crisis in Ukraine is negotiable. The pitch before the start of the meeting is sharp – the West accuses Russian President Putin personally to escalate the situation in eastern Ukraine again.

Because of the breakdown of the ceasefire there NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has attacked Russian president personally. In the “Bild” newspaper Stoltenberg Putin accused of having promoted the flare up of conflict in the Ukraine. “We have seen in recent days, Russia has again brought weapons, equipment, artillery, tanks and rockets across the border in

Ukraine,” he said. “President Putin has clearly broken the ceasefire agreements and again violated the integrity of the Ukraine.” Putin endangers the flights of Russian fighter jets and civilian air traffic at the external borders of NATO. Finally machines would fly without a transponder code and not communicate with air traffic control.

Before the G20 Summit:British threaten Russia with tougher sanctions

German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to bring Ukraine crisis at the G20 summit in Australia to language. During her visit to New Zealand Merkel said she was alarmed by the recent development in eastern Ukraine. “This will be the topic in the margins of the G20 summit,” the Chancellor said in Auckland. A conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the summit this Saturday and Sunday in Brisbane they did not rule: “There is a good chance that there will be a meeting,” Merkel said.

In a joint statement with the New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said Merkel, Putin must comply with the agreed peace plans “in full”. Both expected from Russia and the separatists, “to respect the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine full”.

British Prime Minister David Cameron threatened Russia because of the ongoing tensions in the Ukraine with a tightening of sanctions. Russia’s behavior in the embattled eastern Ukraine was unacceptable, Cameron said on Friday in Canberra, Australia. “I still hope that the Russians are coming to their senses and realize that they should allow Ukraine to develop as an independent and free country,” said Cameron. “If Russia adopts a positive attitude towards the freedom and responsibility of the Ukraine, the sanctions could be lifted. If Russia continues to worsen the situation, the sanctions could be strengthened. It’s that simple.”

Before the G20 Summit:”Every other day a new military exercise in NATO”

Immediately before the summit began in Brisbane, Australia, Putin had made several warships near Australia cross, a legal muscle play in international waters. The NATO react to the Russian provocations with more patrolling, said NATO chief Stoltenberg of “image”. In addition, the defense alliance more troops rotate through Eastern Europe. To enhance the usability, also more maneuvers were held. “Every second day begins a new military exercise in NATO.”

On Wednesday, the UN had warned the agreed ceasefire was in danger. “We are deeply concerned that the severe struggles of the past could erupt again at any time. That would be a disaster for Ukraine,” said Deputy Under-Secretary General Jens Anders Toyberg-Frandzen before the UN Security Council in New York. Neither side was in the process without guilt.
