Ukraine crisis ‘manufactured by US’: Analyst
Political commentator Allen Roland believes that the Ukrainian crisis, which the US blames on Russia, is all manufactured by Washington itself.
In an interview with Press TV on Sunday, the online columnist from California said, “Anything about Russia and Ukraine is all manufactured by the US.”
He made the remarks shortly after the US said sanctions against Russia will remain in place until Moscow fully implements the Minsk agreement.
In a statement released on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Germany on Sunday, the White House said US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel “discussed the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and agreed that the duration of sanctions should be clearly linked to Russia's full implementation of the Minsk agreements and respect for Ukraine's sovereignty.”
Finalized under pressure from Germany and France, the Minsk agreement urges Ukraine and pro-Russian forces to fulfill all of its conditions by the end of 2015.
A complete ceasefire and the pullback of heavy weaponry from the Ukrainian border are some of the conditions stated in the agreement.
The United States and Russia have been at loggerheads over the crisis in Ukraine after US-backed forces ousted the country’s elected president Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014.
Washington accuses Moscow of orchestrating an “illegitimate referendum to annex Crimea” and fuelling unrest in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow, however, has repeatedly denied the allegations and criticized the government in Kiev for the crackdown on the pro-Russia protesters in eastern Ukraine.
