Comment: "Unanimous support" is just political speak for "US puppet states are doing what their American masters tell them to do." The reality is that the surge in violence is coming from the Ukraine government, backed by CIA mercenaries, against the separatists in Donbass. This is most likely part of a grander strategy by factions of the West to destabilize the region and create tensions between the American and Russian governments which makes improved relations between them much more difficult.

The United States and its European allies have blamed Russia for stoking violence in Ukraine for years after Viktor Yanukovych, the Russian-backed former president of Ukraine, was removed from power in 2014. Russia has officially denied any hand in encouraging violence by Russian separatists, but was party to a cease-fire deal and pledged to stop the violence instigated by pro-Russian forces.
Comment: Russian president Vladimir Putin was reportedly "furious" in a telephone conversation with Angela Merkel, accusing Ukraine of using the Normandy format sponsored by Merkel to conceal its military aggression in eastern Ukraine. A transcript of the conversation released by the Kremlin stated: The situation in Eastern Ukraine, as bleak as it is, is only deteriorating. With Trump cutting Kiev off from future funding Poroshenko has declared that there will be no end to the escalation of hostilities. But, with the publication of this message, Putin has once again made it clear that it is not up to Russia to end hostilities. It has been and always will be a problem created by and for the West, whose leaders show absolutely no compunction for the destruction they've wrought.
