As I reported on Wednesday, on Monday (22 June 2015),
"The Kremlin says leaders of Russia, France and Germany have discussed the Ukraine crisis before a new round of diplomatic efforts." (Associated Press:22/06/2015)
Conspicuously absent from this three-way conversation was, of course, the President of Ukraine itself, Petro Poroshenko.
We are now informed that, after an absence of speaking to each other,
"Russian President Vladimir Putin called his US counterpart Barack Obama
on Thursday (25 June, 2015) to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, the Islamic State
group's advances and a deal on Iran's nuclear program." (AFP : 26 June, 2015) (my emphasis)
As Jim Kuhnhenn reports,
"The call from Putin came just days after the Russian leader spoke with French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the situation in eastern Ukraine, a day before Paris talks between the foreign ministers of Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine." (US News : June 25, 2015) (my emphasis)
And while Putin and President Obama were having their private conversation about Ukraine,
"Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, has signed into law measures
which would allow foreign troops to enter the country as a peacekeeping
force in Kiev’s conflict with pro-Russia rebels [and the Russian army!].
The legislation could also, potentially, see Ukraine house weapons of mass destruction – including nuclear devices." (World Bulletin : 26 June 2015 Friday) (my emphasis) (cf. also Putin's propaganda mouthpiece, RT)
There can be no co-incidences in these sequence of events.
And underlining President Poroshenko's signing of this law into effect is the fact that,
"Inside Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists [and Russian soldiers]
are battling Ukrainian forces, [General] Breedlove (right) said "we see a force that has
been trained, that is led by Russian leadership, ... and is ready to do
whatever mission is required of it in the Donbass (region)."
"I don’t think Mr. Putin is done in eastern Ukraine," Breedlove told reporters, and Kiev, despite Moscow's hopes, was still looking to the West for support." (
Let us further remind ourselves that,
And in keeping with hiding the body-bags of Russian soldiers who have fallen in Ukraine from the Russian people and the world at large, Putin is now cracking down on US reporting of Russia's involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine.
As reported by Melinda Haring,
"Russia's Foreign Ministry has banned US investigative journalist Simon
Ostrovsky (left) from working in Russia. On June 4, it denied a press visa for
Ostrovsky, an Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist
best known for his coverage of the Ukraine crisis for VICE News.
The denial came only days after Ostrovsky contacted Russian soldier Bato Dambayev—who fought in Ukraine as part of the 37th Motorized Infantry Brigade—as part of the journalist's effort to prove that Russian soldiers have fought alongside Russian-backed separatists."

And as
The mother of a
Russian soldier captured in Ukraine says her son [Alexander Alexandrov (right)] never told her he was
quitting the army, raising doubt about Kremlin assertions that the
soldier was no longer serving when he crossed the frontier.
......
Speaking publicly about her son's case for the first time, his mother said he had never told her of any plans to quit the army.
"No, he said nothing," she said in an interview in her house in the rural village of Rozhki 350 km (215 miles) north of Togliatti, the town on the River Volga where her son served before going to Ukraine." (Reuters :

Let us further remind ourselves that,
So what 'secret' deal over the war between Putin and Ukraine is being hatched between Merkel Putin, and Hollande, and also between Putin and President Barak Obama?
Are they setting up President Poroshenko to accept, as [Austrian Putin apologist] Johannes Hahn, the commissioner for
European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, has stated that,
" .... Kyiv needs to carry out the “last” points of the Minsk agreement and not
wait for Russia and the Russian-controlled militants to carry out their
portion of the agreement."? ( EuroMaidan Press : 24/06/2015)(my emphasis)
Putin himself has,
"...emphasized the need for Ukraine to conduct political settlement and
provide social and economic assistance to the eastern region, according
to the Kremlin." (Associated Press:22/06/2015) (my emphasis)
