Whilst the 'fragrant' Mogherini (left) is saying that,
""A destabilized and isolated Russia is not in the interest of the European Union, is not for sure in the interest of the Russian people, and I believe it's not in the interest of the Russian leadership, but it is for them to decide" (Reuters : 6 May, 2015),

"Speaking to students during a visit to Beijing, the EU's top diplomat Federica Mogherini said that while she did not see Russia as an "actor" of instability or insecurity, violations of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty were a matter of universal concern." (ibid Reuters) (my emphases)
Yet again has the 'fragrant' Mogherini exposed herself as nothing more nor less than a 'cheerleader' for Putin in the EU as she reveals her rather warped 'diplomatic' logic about Putin's war with Ukraine.
And if this were not enough, Denis Dyomkin and John Irish inform us that,
"Russian President Vladimir Putin and [the Putinversteher] German Chancellor Angela Merkel will discuss the crisis in Ukraine at talks in Moscow on Sunday, a Kremlin aide said on Wednesday."(Reuters :
Vladimir Putin ... admitted for the first time that the plan to annex Crimea was ordered weeks before the referendum on self-determination." (BBC : 9 March 2015)
"Naturally the situation in Ukraine will be among the main topics of the talks with the German chancellor," ...... adding that both leaders wanted an end to violence [in Ukraine]. (ibid Denis Dyomkin and John Irish) (my emphasis)
And whilst the Putinversteher Angela Merkel wishes to 'end the violence' in eastern Ukraine, Agence France Press reports that,
"Pro-Russian separatists appear to be making preparations for a fresh offensive in eastern Ukraine, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter (right) told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Ukrainian government forces and analysts have warned that pro-Moscow rebels are readying for a push to extend their control to the key seaport of Mariupol, the largest remaining Ukrainian-controlled city in the conflict zone." (AFP : Yahoo News : 7 May, 2015)
As reported by Bradley Klapper and Ken Dilanian of Associated Press,
"The United States now sees the Ukrainian rebels (right) as a Russian force.
American officials briefed on intelligence from the region say Russia has significantly deepened its command and control of the militants in eastern Ukraine in recent months, leading the U.S. to quietly introduce a new term: "combined Russian separatist forces."(Business Insider UK : Apr. 30, 2015)
What this in effect means is that,
"By describing them as an integrated force in the east of the country, the U.S. is putting greater responsibility on Russia for the continued fighting. That will make it harder for Russia to persuade the U.S. and Europe to scale back sanctions that are hurting its economy..." (ibid Bradley Klapper and Ken Dilanian) (my emphasis)
