USA try to put the blame for situation in East-Europe on everything except themselves, if they hadn't forced Ukraine, Belarus< Kazachstan to give their nukes to Russia, Europe could have stayed peacefull for centuries and now USA complain Russia is a nuclear treat??? Grow UP, GI Joe, you did it yourself, just like the MESH in Middle East and MASH in Vietnam..
From 20 years ago, and its prediction is coming true...if russians behave as russians, like we now say if americans behalve like americans...??

On Wednesday, a group of pro-Putin French parliamentarians will travel to Russia and Russia-occupied Crimea. Thierry Mariani, a parliamentarian from Nicolas Sarkozy's "Republicans" party, stated this on air during I-Tele TV channel broadcast. "There will be ten MPs from both chambers, both right and left. The program of travel – Moscow, Yalta, Simferopol. A day in Moscow, two – in Crimea," – Mariani was quoted by AFP.

Leonid Bershidsky: Putin never gives away anything for free. Was Ukraine the cost of cooperation in Iran? - Bloomberg News
It's rare that official representatives of the U.S. visit foreign parliaments to persuade lawmakers to vote a certain way on some piece of legislation. Yet last week, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland travelled to Kiev and did just that, as the Ukrainian parliament prepared to vote on amendments to the country's constitution.
Washington wants Ukraine to be stable. The Kremlin, for its part, is losing interest in the armed conflict it helped create: It wants to move on from military interference in Ukraine to quieter political destabilization. When the big players' interests largely coincide, it doesn't take a conspiracy to get them to co-operate.

At the meeting on 21 July the working group on security of the trilateral contact group on Ukraine finalized the text of the agreement on the withdrawal of weapons with a calibre below 100mm from the contact line, agreed on withdrawal of tanks.
Ivica Dacic, OSCE Chairman-in-Office, told reporters in Minsk that this agreement will read exactly how the process of withdrawal will be verified. "There will be no more problems as to who conducts it, from which side and who confirms it. The agreement will specify the whole procedure," he noted.
In addition, there is a need to address economic issues. According to the diplomat, there are a variety of ideas, including mobile banks. Important are also humanitarian issues, the problem of refugees and displaced persons. "There is progress on all these matters," he said.

According to Sajdik, the participation of OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ivica Dacic in the talks added a powerful impetus to the work of the group.

Estonian President Toomas Ilves paused when I asked him if the annual Estonia's Friends meeting he hosts is a copy of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Valdai Club, which gathers Russia experts from around the world every year. "Uhhhhh ... no," Ilves finally said, peering at me through his frameless eyeglasses.
Of course my question was meant to be provocative because Estonia and Russia have taken radically different paths since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Estonia, with a population of 1.3 million, is the smallest of the former Soviet republics; Russia is 100 times more populous. Estonia implemented bold reforms to achieve membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Estonia's Friends who showed up at this year's meeting in the quaint capital Tallinn were mostly Scandinavian and American entrepreneurs interested in doing business in the country. The Russia hands that typically attend the Valdai Club go for the question-and-answer session with Putin that they can later repackage in books and talk shows as Kremlin access.
