Confrontation between the US and Germany over \u201cUkrainian crisis\u201d has been widely discussed in Americans columns.
\nThe Wall Street Journal:
\nThe Ukrainians must also contend with a barrage of bad advice from the West. \u201cAfter the fall of Slovyansk, the Germans called on Mr. Poroshenko to stop the assault and sue for peace. But Mr. Poroshenko seems to understand he needs to gain the upper hand on the ground before contemplating a settlement. Public opinion in Ukraine won’t stand for anything less,\u201d the article states. \u201cYet the Kremlin chief still has options. Russia would love to impose a loyal governor in Donetsk, an idea endorsed by Germany. Russia can also ramp up the economic pressure via trade sanctions and cutting gas supplies to destabilize Ukraine. The best news is that Mr. Poroshenko, who came into office in late May, seems to understand that Mr. Putin will grab what he can until Ukraine pushes back,\u201d the authors sum up.

Italians have found the main reason why Ukrainian crisis is still in the process \u2013 unwillingness of Ukrainian authorities to recognize insurgents as their interlocutors and start the dialogue without preliminary agreement to turn in weapons.
\nCorriere della Sera:
\nFabrizio Dragosei: \u201cEveryone tries to solve Ukrainian\u2019s problem and makes everything to start a negotiation process, but the main obstacle is still the same: Kyiv\u2019s authorities do not want to recognize insurgents from eastern Ukraine and do not want to start the dialogue while rebels still have weapons,\u201d the article writes. \u201cYesterday Italy\u2019s Minister of foreign affairs Federica Mogherini at the meeting with her counterpart Sergey Lavrov and Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin discussed this problem in Moscow. Yesterday evening German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Ukraine\u2019s President once more underlines separatists should surrender. \u201dKyiv announces its plan to seize occupies cities of Luhansk and Donetsk. This plan does not suppose air bombing, but it also does not propose to hold a dialogue with armed rebels either,\u201d Dragosei says. \u201cIn Moscow Putin supports the idea of a bilateral ceasefire. Russia\u2019s President once more announces his readiness to work for meeting this goal,\u201d the author writes.

Foreign minister of Czech Republic in his interview DW says Russians activity in Ukraine is actually a war.
\nDeutsche Welle:
\nKarel Schwarzenberg thinks sanctions on Moscow should have been imposed earlier. The situation with Russia is different. The Crimea has already been occupied. An armed groups have been sent to Ukraine. Thought I have conservative views, but what is going on in Ukraine is a war, there is no other way of putting it. When one country occupies or annexes the part of the other country with using armed forces, it is always called a war. Those actions are partly continued in eastern Ukraine.

Obama sanction vows against Russia scoffed at in Congress.
\nBloomberg:
\nWarnings from U.S. officials that Russia faces the risk of additional sanctions if it doesn\u2019t stop interfering in eastern Ukraine were mocked by lawmakers who said President Barack Obama\u2019s administration has failed to deliver. \u201cSometimes I\u2019m embarrassed for you, as you constantly talk about sanctions and yet, candidly, we never see them put in place,\u201d Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told administration officials.\u201d \u201cI really feel like the sanctions threats have been very hollow,\u201d he adds.

Kremlin\u2019s tactics work \u2013 the West begins to analyze the topic about Putin\u2019s dissociation of rebels.
\nThe New York Times.
\nThe West has accused Russia of arming the rebels. \u201cBut in recent weeks, fighters have complained that Moscow abandoned them, a sentiment that burst into public view this week when a political strategist closely allied with the Kremlin was shouted at by fighters at a news conference here,\u201d the article states.

By sending mixed signals, Russian leader seeks to blunt push for tougher sanctions.
\nThe Wall Street Journal:
\nThomas Graham, a Russia expert and former senior White House official under President George W. Bush, said, however, that the Kremlin’s goal remains the same: “a government in Kiev that at a minimum is not hostile to Moscow and a Ukraine that is not moving with abandon toward Europe.” “What Putin wants is to preserve some kind of appearance of a negotiated process,” says Dimitri Simes, president of the Center for the National Interest think tank in Washington and a Russia specialist. But the Kremlin’s efforts in late June to push the separatists to join Kiev’s unilateral cease-fire failed, as the fractious fighters didn’t follow through on their pledges. Moscow’s efforts to turn the separatist leaders into a credible political force in Ukraine are also handicapped by the fact that many of them are Russian citizens with few ties to the region. Even separatist leaders admit there are few locals with broad appeal.

Ukraine needs 500 million Euro to rebuild the infrastructure in eastern Ukraine. Germany will give 3.5 million Euro humanitarian aid.
\nDie Zeit:
\nGermany\u2019s foreign minister has decided to increase humanitarian aid for Ukraine up to 3.5 million Euro, German agency Die Zeit informs. Money will be aimed at helping citizens of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. Meanwhile, confrontations in the east create big financial problems for Ukraine\u2019s authorities, Ukraine\u2019s Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk states. According to his words, approximately 500 million euros will be needed for first infrastructural projects in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. \u201cWe do not know where to get such sums of money,\u201d Yatsenyuk adds.

In the wake of its military intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, Russia is widely disliked in Europe, the Middle East and the United States, according to a Pew Global Attitudes poll released on 9 July, The New York Times reports.
\nThe New York Times:
\n \u201cRussia is increasingly disliked in Latin America, although the increase is not as striking as in the United States or Europe,\u201d the edition underlines. \u201cIn Asia, most of those surveyed in Bangladesh, China, and Vietnam had a positive opinion of Russia, while most Japanese respondents had a negative view. As with opinions about Russia overall, attitudes toward Mr. Putin\u2019s handling of international affairs were consistently negative in the United States and across Europe. Eighty percent of Americans said they had little or no confidence that Mr. Putin would do the right thing with his foreign policy, as did a majority of adults in every European country surveyed. In Russia, though, 83 percent said they trusted their leader\u2019s handling of world affairs, up from 69 percent two years ago,\u201d the article writes.
