Kerry, Lavrov Meet Again on Ukraine Conflict

2014-12-16

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met again Sunday to discuss Ukraine, just days after U.S. lawmakers voted in support of providing military aid for Ukrainian forces.

The two diplomats met for several hours in Rome.

No details of their talks have been released. But a State Department official says Kerry repeated the importance of the September cease-fire and de-escalating the situation on the ground.

The truce has been consistently broken almost from the moment it was signed. An unsteady new cease-fire took effect last week.

Russia has reacted angrily to U.S. congressional approval Friday of a bill to send up to $350 million in military aid, including possibly lethal aid, to Ukrainian forces fighting Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.

The legislation, known as “Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014,” also calls for expanded sanctions against Russia for its role in the conflict in Ukraine.

#1 See also GROONG > [Rusvesna] RUSSIA STATE DUMA COULD AUTHORIZE USE OF TROOPS IN UKRAINE, as Russia allegedly no longer has any real time for negotiations wid Ukraine given on-going situational changes.

* IIRC RELATED RUSSIA TODAY > "IFF US SENDS WEAPONS [ + Mil Advisors] TO UKRAINE, RUSSIA CAN SEND TROOPS": LAWMAKER.

Personally, for me the more important Artic is
the following from time back ....

* RUSSIA TODAY > [old = repost] PUTIN: RUSSIA WILL BE A SOVEREIGN [+ Secure/safe] NATION OR IT WILL CEASE TO EXIST.

On one hand, I take the above to mean that Russia = China = may suffer serious initial setbacks in any SSSSHHHH ... CCCCCCCC Pro-OWG Globalist mil conflict for [Post/Anti-US]"strategic access" agz US Allies. e.g. China-vs-Japan/Phil/ASEAN, but ultimately could poten still recover + even prevail, espec iff Globalist Amerika continues on its unilateral "minimalist" approach to World or Geopol affairs.

In another part, RUSSIA = CHINA, etc. = M-U-S-T CONTROL OR DOMINATE ITS FUTURE OWG GLOBAL FEDERAL UNION, OR THE WORLD AS EVERYONE KNOWS IT MAY CHANGE INTO SOMETHING UNRECOGNIZABLE, UNWANTED, + POTEN EVEN GEOPOL OR EXISTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

As led by the ISIS/ISIL, iff the Hard Boyz destabilize Russia, China, + India, WILL ANTI-US GLOBALIST AMERIKA SEND IN TROOPS TO PREVENT THEIR NUKES-WMDS FROM FALLING INTO MILITANT HANDS.
