Nobel Prize laureate in literature (2009) Gerda Muller supports Ukraine.
\nLa Repubblica:
\n\u201cWhat is going on in Ukraine is terrific. The first step \u2013 Crimea\u2019s annexation was unprecedented, but the destabilization of one of the most wealthy Ukraine\u2019s region continues,\u201d the writer says. \u201cPutin is waging an anti-fascists\u2019 propaganda, but his values are close to the ultra-right movements. He sees enemies everywhere, because every dictator needs foes to justify human rights violations. Putin is a master of destabilization: he has prepared employees, he nurtures separatists.
\n In fact, he doesn\u2019t want to annex Ukraine, he simply wants to destabilize it in such a way, it can\u2019t join the European Union. It is disgusting,\u201d
\nGerda Muller is sure. If public discussion that Stalin was a mass murderer and what Stalinism was in fact was held, Putin could not have a possibility to act as he acts now,\u201d Muller points out. \u201cThere was a moment when we thought Russians had beaten ideology with perestroika and glasnost. The big country was divided into myriads of pieces, and it seemed it would be better. Today the idea of the Big Country is more actual than ever. The thing is that Putin has a disease called \u201cthe past\u201d. All what happens in Ukraine is Putin\u2019s soviet phantoms.\u201d \u201cPutin is highly appreciated, isn\u2019t it sad?\u201d the writer goes on. \u201cI\u2019m so surprised with people from Eastern Germany, who supports him. It is shameful. \u201cThe Wall\u201d has fallen, they have all rights now. Those who came from the East, should be on Ukraine\u2019s side. I got so furious, when people from former German Democratic Republic forget how it was to leave under dictatorship. All want to run away from dictatorship. Nobody wants to be in this Eurasian imperia, where Putin rules,\u201d Muller says.

Western political trends. Putin tries to escalate the relationship between the U.S. and Germany. He becomes more active in the U.S. sphere of influence – Latin America.<\/p>\n

The latest U.S. spying scandal could lead to severance of diplomatic relations.
\nTime:
\n Putin\u2019s more likely goal was to make the members of the NATO alliance suspect each other of spying and, ultimately, to erode the trust on which that alliance is based. \u201cAlready the fallout from Germany\u2019s latest spy scandal with the U.S. seems to have achieved something close to that very outcome, and if it leads to a rupture in their relationship, Putin will surely be able to allow himself a mischievous smile,\u201d Shuster concludes. \u201cThe information reaped by this suspected espionage is laughable,\u201d Thomas de Maiziere, the German Minister of Interior, said in a statement. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said that Chancellor Angela Merkel is \u201cnot amused\u201d by the latest scandal. \u201cNeither is the diplomatic corps in Washington.\u201d Shuster states. \u201cWith the West locked in its worst dispute with Russia since the Cold War, the U.S. and Europe need to form a united front against the Kremlin more now than at any point in a generation.\u201d

\nThe real U.S. offense isn’t the spying so much as doing it so poorly.
\nThe Wall Street Journal:
\nJournalists demand Congress intelligence committee to do a deeper dive into the German cases and post a question, \u201cwhy our friends not think they can expel a U.S. official and pay no price for it.\u201d

\nAngela Merkel should change her attitude toward Edward Snowden and grant him a political asylum.
\n S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung
\n www.sueddeutsche.de <\/a>The former German minister of defense Karl-Theodore zu Guttenberg wrote in the article for Bild newspaper that Obama risks to evoke anti-American attitudes in Germany. According to his words, if American president does not change \u201chis political habits\u201d and continues staying aside with a smile on his face, he will risk to go down in history as a person who put a transatlantic friendship at an end.

\nMarcel Dickow, from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) in an interview for The Local says ordering America\u2019s top spy to leave Berlin was \u201cunprecedented\u201d in the German-US relationship. He underlines that it won\u2019t have a negative long-term effect on German-US relations.

During six-day tour through Latin America Russian leader \u201cwill attempt to strengthen support for his new readiness to confront the West on the global stage.\u201d
\nThe Times:
\nPutin\u2019s meeting with Fidel, \u201ca revolutionary who has been condemning American influence on the world for more than half a century\u201d will be resonant.
\n www.thetimes.co.uk <\/a>
\nPutin\u2019s visit to Cuba is coincident with the battle about gaining control over Ukraine, the article continues. \u201cIt seems the intervention of North American diplomacy at the backyard of Russia combines with the gradual penetration of Moscow in the back office of the U.S. \u2013 Latin America, governed by the left, especially in Cuba, 145 kilometers off the coast of Florida. \u201d
\nEl Pais:
\nPutin will meet Raul Castro and his brother Fidel, the main protagonists of the Cold War period when the communist island was a key strategic figure in a \u201cchess play\u201d between the United States and the Soviet Union, the edition underlines. Putin arrives in Havana with another nod, having forgiven 90% of the debt owed by Cuba during his nearly three decades of dependence on Moscow, around 26,000 million euros.

\nPutin will try to make a nuclear agreement during his visit to Argentina.
\nLa Nacion:
\nPutin\u2019s trump card is to sign an ambitious nuclear agreement and to expand a bilateral commercial relationship with Argentina, the newspaper writes. Moreover, Putin\u2019s visit is the result of the vast agreement between Putin and his counterpart Christina Kirchner,\u201d the newspaper writes. During the voting at the UNO Assembly, where the majority stand against Moscow\u2019s plan toward Ukraine, Argentina abstained. \u201cKremlin, in its turn, supported the sovereignty claim of Argentina in the Falkland Islands.\u201d
\n www.lanacion.com.ar <\/a>
\nAnalysts say the gigantic Vaca Muerta shale formation in remote Patagonia is the motive behind both Chinese and Russian interest in Argentina, while Buenos Aires desperately needs foreign investment to develop what are the world\u2019s second biggest shale gas reserves and fourth largest shale oil reserves.

The Situation over signing the Association agreement between Ukraine and EU is escalation: Russia is seeking for the reasons to block the agreement, Brussels proposes (unofficially) Ukraine to sign the Agreement in the first turn.
\nAmericans think the EU is begging Russia not to be afraid of the Agreement between Ukraine and EU.
\nThe Wall Street Journal:
\nUnder Friday’s agreement, Russia will present a list of concerns and “potential risks” about the deal by July 20. Technical experts are expected to meet to provide a “preliminary report” by Sept. 1. Ministers from the EU, Russia and Ukraine will meet again on Sept. 12 in Brussels to iron out any remaining differences. Russian Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulukayev said after Friday’s talks that he hoped the agreement wouldn’t enter into force before the negotiations are completed.

\nRussia at the talks in Brussels over trade aspects of the Agreement between Kyiv and EU seeks for putting \u201cnew veto on the agreement.\u201d
\nEUObserver is warning that on Friday a Ukrainian diplomatic source told EUobserver \u201cthis is once again vivid proof about the real intentions of the Russian Federation\u201d. An EU diplomat noted that nothing could change Brussels\u2019s opinion and the EU is still against Russia\u2019s veto. \u201cIt’s not certain we will issue any kind of joint statement after tomorrow\u2019s meeting,\u201d the official added. The edition reminds Poroshenko promised Ukraine’s parliament would vote on ratification before it breaks for summer.

Ukraine\u2019s new leader is making progress in regaining control over eastern areas of the country that were seized by Russian-backed insurgents, but he\u2019s getting no help from the United States or the European Union.
\nThe Washington Post:
\n\u201cIf he has been surprised by Mr. Poroshenko\u2019s grit, then Mr. Putin can only be encouraged by the fecklessness of the European Union and the United States,\u201d the edition states. \u201cAt the end of June, the allies promised tough sanctions against Russia if Moscow did not immediately stop its support of the rebels. Two weeks later, the promised \u201csectoral\u201d sanctions on Russian industries have not been adopted, even though Western governments agree that Mr. Putin has not met any of their conditions. The United States has the power to impose crippling unilateral sanctions on Russia, especially through the banking system. If the Ukrainian government can act without the permission of France and Germany, so can the United States.\u201d

Putin still sticks to his guns. As London\u2019s edition informs, he wants by \u201chavoc, destructions, uproars and casualties\u2026makes Donbas reunion with Ukraine impossible.\u201d
\nEconomist:
\nBritish edition calls for the West to support Petro Poroshenko\u2019s promise to prolong a truce by \u201credoubling their pressure on the Kremlin\u201d. The newspaper is sure the sanctions\u2019 aim is to force Putin to step back from the eastern Ukraine, where he continues support and fortify separatists.
\nThe West\u2019s reticence has contributed to Ukraine\u2019s tragedy, which could expand, London\u2019s Economist states.

Minister Klimkin tries to explain to Germans why it is hard to hold talks with separatists.
\nFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung proposes to read an interview with Ukraine\u2019s foreign minister Pavel Klimkin. Klimkin commented on his German counterpart\u2019s initiative to prolong talks with separatists. He said Ukraine tries to make arrangements with separatists, but even the video conference is impossibly due to their fault. Minister underlines Ukrainian authorities do not have the direct contact with DPR\u2019s minister of defense Igor Strelkov, but they do have contacts with self-proclaimed Prime Minister Oleksandr Borodai. Klimkin praises Ukraine army\u2019s success in recapturing Slovyansk and Kramatorsk by saying that \u201cwith army\u2019s arrival, cities receive water and electricity supply.\u201d Ukrainian authority does not pose a threat to the Russian speaking Ukrainians \u201cWe are ready to pay for our European future, and we pay to be free,\u201d minister underlines.
