Victoria Nuland: Flying over Ukraine’s Mess

Victoria Nuland: Flying over Ukraine’s Mess
Subscribe
Assistant US Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, known as one of the chief architects of US policy in Ukraine, paid her wrap-up visit to Moscow to discuss the Minsk Accords, which had failed to bring true peace to the restless Donbass region and will thus be Obama’s troubled parting gift to the next US President.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said before the meeting that there were no expectations of a breakthrough, which was entirely predictable given the deadlock that the situation has entered in for over a year already. The fact that nothing of importance emerged from the meeting is significant in and of itself, since it testifies to the stalemated Russian-American relationship and how the US – and Nuland personally – succeed in engineering a problem that they seem to have never wanted to solve in the first place.

Hosts Sergey Strokan and Andrew Korybko are joined by Fedor Voitolovsky, Deputy Director of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Science(studio guest); Alex Bratersky, senior political writer with Gazeta.RU, media outlet who covered Euromaidan protests and events in Crimea; and
Alexander Teddy, Head of London office, Consulting Bureau Urus Advisory.
