WASHINGTON, October 7 - US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland's visit to the Ukrainian capital Kiev
indicates that Washington is worried that the Ukrainian government is
hesitating to gain control over the country's East militarily, Professor
Emeritus of Sociology at Binghamton University in New York James Petras
has told RIA Novosti.
"Nuland, who is considered by most experts in the United States a neo-conservative extremist, was the architect of the coup [in Ukraine].
Since the stalemate has taken place, Washington has increased its flow of advisors to western Ukraine and I think that Nuland is particularly anxious to shift Kiev from diplomacy to warfare", Petras said Monday.
He also noted that Nuland's main goal in Kiev is "to take [Ukrainian President] Mr. [Petro] Poroshenko to task for spending so much time talking and not as much time planning and strategizing for a new phase in the military dimensions of the conflict."
The expert went further by arguing that the militarization of foreign policy has become the principle strategy of Washington.
The September 5 meeting of the Contact Group of Ukraine resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the Ukrainian government and pro-independence forces, which came into force that same day. The sides agreed on a nine-point memorandum, specifying the implementation of the ceasefire during another meeting of the group.
