International reactions to the Euromaidan

February 20th of this year will mark the second anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine. The military situation currently seems deadlocked - little progress is being made and peace is currently not in sight.

The Polish ambassador to France, Jan Emerick Rosciszewski, said on LCI that Warsaw would intervene in the conflict with Moscow if Kyiv was defeated.
"It is not NATO, Poland or Slovakia that is exerting growing pressure, it is Russia that attacked Ukraine. Russia is stealing its territories. Russia is killing its own people. Russia is kidnapping Ukrainian children," he said.

When both Moscow and Kyiv begin to believe that they will no longer be able to achieve a better result on the battlefield, the leaders of Ukraine and Russia, wherever they are, will have to meet and agree on a mutually acceptable solution, which will make both sides feel better than continuing the war.

"Washington does not need peace in Ukraine, and therefore the United States has suspended negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv", a member of the negotiating group with Kyiv and the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said.

The fierce public smearing of Germany has taken off, and this new fashion is coming from Ukraine, but also from other European countries, writes Deutsche Welle.
That, to put it mildly, is not fair, because Germany does more for Ukraine than almost all other countries.

In Britain, thousands of people gathered again for demonstrations and marches in support of Ukraine in various cities across the country.

Beta reported on Wednesday, citing AP, that it was unknown for how long he would remain in the Netherlands, nor what he would do there.

The EU has called on Russian to "immediately release peaceful demonstrators" among the hundreds arrested on Sunday during anti-corruption protests.

"Police operations prevented the exercise of basic freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly - which are fundamental rights enshrined in the Russian constitution," an EU spokesperson said in a statement.

The U.S. military is determined to oppose Russia and China in order to protect the current “international order,” U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said.

Carter accused Russia of "violating sovereignty of American allies," mentioning Ukraine and Georgia in this context.

Ambassador of Ukraine in Belgrade Oleksandr Aleksandrovich organized a reception on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day.

Addressing the guests, Aleksandrovich "pointed to the long history of the Ukrainian people and events of the recent past such as the Orange Revolution and the Euromaidan."
