GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER
SAYS NO TO US
WARMONGERING:
German Foreign Minister, Steinmeier, speaking on a visit to the US, said to US Secretary of State, John Kerry, at a joint press conference in Washington: "It is far too early to pat our shoulders and take pride in what we've achieved."
His comments come days after an official in German Chancellor
Angela Merkel's offices had complained of US Air Force General Philip
Breedlove's "dangerous propaganda" over Ukraine, and that
Steinmeier had talked to the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
about him. "It's true that I asked in two instances, in which the
information we had from our sources was not entirely consistent
with the information that came from the United States or NATO,"
Steinmeier told a European Union foreign ministers meeting in Riga,
earlier this week. Steinmeier hinted that "false information" had been used
by the US to hype up the situation in Ukraine and that some
people within the European Union believed the crisis is being promoted
by the US, according to an article in the German magazine Der
Spiegel.
Der Spiegel reported that German government officials had been taken
by surprise when Breedlove said on February 25 that Russian President
Vladimir Putin had "upped the ante" in eastern Ukraine.
"What is clear is that right now it is not getting better. It is getting
worse every day," Breedlove said in Washington. German officials said information from their intelligence agency and
other sources had stated that a ceasefire agreed in Minsk was shaky
but holding.
Steinmeier's comments come in the week that a former NATO
intelligence analyst admitted that the crisis in Ukraine stems
from as far back as 30 years, when the United States
"deliberately sabotaged" relations between Europe and Russia. Lieutenant Commander Martin Packard said: "The current crisis
in Ukraine stems from as far back as 1986, when the United
States saw an opportunity to model itself as the new single world
superpower at the close of the Cold War and saw friendly Russian
overtures to Western Europe as a threat."
