The Finnish foreign ministry announced on Tuesday that back in June the United States and Russia held secret talks over Ukraine on Boisto Island in Finland. This startling announcement and synchronised information about the result a 24-Step Plan to Resolve the Ukraine Crisis - were clearly timed to coincide with the meeting in Minsk between, among others Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russias President Vladimir Putin. There were a number of crucial differences between the peace initiatives and one key similarity.
Despite the Finnish report, the Boisto meeting, albeit sponsored by Finlands foreign ministry, was between Russian and US experts from various organizations. There is no evidence that they were representing their governments unlike the meeting between state leaders in Minsk. The most crucial difference, of course, is that Ukraine took part in the Minsk discussion on how to resolve problems on its territory.
The one similarity: the pushing for a solution which will inevitably result in a frozen conflict in eastern Ukraine. It is still unclear what, if anything, was actually agreed at the Minsk talks but the Vice-President of the European Commission Catherine Ashton later announced that they would now be seeking a truce. With supreme cynicism Putin told journalists that Russia had no role to play in ceasefire negotiations between Kyiv and the militants Moscow has been backing and heavily arming. This is despite the fact that over recent weeks a large number of experienced Russian officials, including the notorious ex-Transnistria security chief Vladimir Antufeyev have been brought in and given leading positions in the so-called Donetsk Peoples Republic.

Are you confusing Whisky with one of the Putinists? Most of them believe the NWO bilderburger with cheese or whatever stuff. I agree with Whisky’s assessment. The likely goal for Russia is likely modeled on Moldova and Georgia. Basically a forever conflict with Russian eternal interference.
Try being more specific instead of blanket accusations.
