In a statement Thursday, Cameron said: "I'm extremely concerned by mounting evidence that Russian troops have made large-scale incursions into south-eastern Ukraine, completely disregarding the sovereignty of a neighbor."
He added: "The international community has already warned Russia that such provocative actions would be completely unacceptable and illegal."
Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko cancelled a foreign visit Thursday amid evidence that Russian troops had moved into Ukraine to help pro-Russian separatists open a second front near Novoazovsk.
"Such activity must cease immediately," Cameron demanded. "We urge Russia to pursue a different path and to find a political solution to this crisis."
The four-month conflict has seen government forces gain the upper hand in recent weeks, with the separatists increasingly hemming in around Donetsk and Luhansk. This has been accompanied by claims from Ukraine that Russia is propping up the separatists with weapons and military support.

NATO’s Allied Command Operations in Mons, Belgium on
Thursday (28 August 2014) released new satellite imagery that show
Russian combat forces engaged in military operations inside the
sovereign territory of Ukraine. "Over the past two weeks we have noted a
significant escalation in both the level and sophistication of Russia’s
military interference in Ukraine,” said Brigadier General Nico Tak,
Director of the Comprehensive Crisis and Operations Management Centre at

Mons, BELGIUM – NATO released new satellite images on Thursday, 28 August 2014, that show Russian combat forces engaged in military operations inside the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The images, captured in late August, depict Russian self-propelled artillery units moving in a convoy through the Ukrainian countryside and then preparing for action by establishing firing positions in the area of Krasnodon, Ukraine.
Dutch Brigadier General Nico Tak, director of the Comprehensive Crisis and Operations Management Centre (CCOMC), Allied Command Operations said the images confirmed what NATO and its Allies had been seeing for weeks from other sources.
"Over the past two weeks we have noted a significant escalation in both the level and sophistication of Russia's military interference in Ukraine," said Brigadier General Tak. "The satellite images released today provide additional evidence that Russian combat soldiers, equipped with sophisticated heavy weaponry, are operating inside Ukraine's sovereign territory," he said.
These latest images provide concrete examples of Russian activity inside Ukraine, but are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the overall scope of Russian troop and weapons movements.
"We have also detected large quantities of advanced weapons, including air defence systems, artillery, tanks, and armoured personnel carriers being transferred to separatist forces in Eastern Ukraine," said Brigadier General Tak. "The presence of these weapons along with substantial numbers of Russian combat troops inside Ukraine make the situation increasingly grave," he said.................................http://www.nato.int/cps/en

Le Premier ministre ukrainien, Arseni Iatseniouk, a annoncé vendredi que son gouvernement allait enclencher les démarches pour que Kiev puisse adhérer à l'Otan....
ReplyDeleteLe Premier ministre ukrainien, Arseni Iatseniouk, a annoncé vendredi 29 août que le gouvernement allait demander au Parlement de lancer les procédures d'adhésion de Kiev à l'Otan.
Cette initiative, qui devrait être très mal accueillie à Moscou, intervient au lendemain des accusations d'"invasion militaire" lancées par l’Ukraine contre la Russie.
En avril 2008, au sommet de Bucarest, les dirigeants des pays de l'Otan étaient convenus que l'Ukraine avait vocation à rejoindre l'Alliance, ce qui avait fortement irrité la Russie. Mais en 2010, le gouvernement pro-russe du président Viktor Ianoukovitch avait renoncé à cet objectif, tout en continuant à coopérer avec l'Otan...................http://www.france24.com/fr/20140829-ukraine-russie-otan-demande-adhesion-ue-europe-occident-donetsk/

Nato "respektiert" Wunsch der Ukraine nach Aufnahme...
ReplyDeletePutin vergleicht das Vorgehen der ukrainischen Armee mit dem der Nazis in Leningrad. Die bedrängte Ukraine will jetzt Nato-Land werden. Das Bündnis erklärt umgehend, es respektiere den Wunsch.
Der ukrainische Ministerpräsident Arseni Jazenjuk hat sich für eine Mitgliedschaft seines Landes in der Nato ausgesprochen. Er werde das Parlament ersuchen, die entsprechenden Voraussetzungen dafür zu schaffen, sagte Jazenjuk am Freitag bei einer Kabinettssitzung. So solle der Status der Ukraine als blockfreies Land aufgegeben werden. Grundlegendes Ziel der Außenpolitik bleibe eine Mitgliedschaft in der Europäischen Union.
Die Nato scheint die Tür gegenüber diesem Wunsch zumindest nicht zuzuschlagen: "Wir werden die Entscheidung der Ukraine über das Verlassen ihrer Neutralität voll respektieren und auch den Wunsch, Nato-Mitglied zu werden", erklärte Nato-Generalsekretär Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Für ihn ist klar, dass trotz der "leeren Beteuerungen" aus Moskau russische Truppen illegal in die östliche und südöstliche Ukraine eingedrungen sind. Die Destabilisierung der Ukraine als souveräner Staat sei zu erkennen.........................http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article131719431/Nato-respektiert-Wunsch-der-Ukraine-nach-Aufnahme.html
Ukraine seeks to join NATO; defiant Putin compares Kiev to Nazis...
ReplyDelete(Reuters) - Ukraine called on Friday for full membership in NATO, its strongest plea yet for Western military help after accusing Russia of sending in armored columns that have driven back its forces on behalf of pro-Moscow rebels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, defiant as ever, compared Kiev's drive to regain control of its rebellious eastern cities to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in World War Two. He announced that rebels had succeeded in halting it, and proposed that they now permit surrounded Ukrainian troops to retreat.
Speaking to young people at a summer camp, Putin told his countrymen they must be "ready to repel any aggression towards Russia". He described Ukrainians and Russians as "practically one people", language that Ukrainians say dismisses the very existence of their thousand-year-old nation.....................http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/29/us-ukraine-crisis-idUSKBN0GS10C20140829?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews
