The last days of the Yakunovych regime showing a sudden collapse from inside not a European plot- a NYT investigative report
01/03/2015
The NYT investigative report shows that the Yakunovych government collapsed in the last month from divisions inside it and not from an organized effort by Westen European powers and the U.S. to bring it down, as Russian president Putin claims for his Ukraine policies. As it lost popular support with firing on protestors, the government negotiated with the opposition and the Berkut special forces felt they would be left with the blame for the shootings by an angry public, the ministry officials simply left their offices leaving the entire government in disarray and special forces in retreat.

Germany's Social Democrat foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Germany-Russia relations
11/19/2014
Steinmeier has continued to maintain Russia relations under a policy of Ostpolitik even after strains over Ukraine. He was foreign minister in 2005-2009 and assumed the position in the new coalition government with Merkel's Christian Democrats. He has no illusions about transition to a multipolar world and believes the lessons from World War I of ignoring the impact of conflicts at the periphery should not be forgotten. At the same time he says miltary restraint should not mean "political constraints."

U.S. sanctions on Russia following the Russian occupation of the Crimea and fears of occupation of eastern Ukraine
04/02/2009
The planned sanctions at the early stages of the crisis are for Russian officials and groups taking part in the takeover of the Crimea and threat to eastern Ukraine, and not on the Russian economy. Russian intervention in the Russian speaking eastern Ukraine would lead to the U.S. pushing its case with the EU and Germany for broader sanctions. If a standoff occurs as happened by an earlier Russian intervention in Georgia to support a Russian speaking region, these limited personal sanctions would remain in place.

Russia Says It Has Weathered the Worst of the Economic Storm
Wall Street Journal 04/03/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
