“I think, this entire crisis, if you look at it honestly, has been provoked from the United States and some other NATO member countries in Europe. The illegal coup d’état that took place in February was in reaction to the fact that the legally- elected Ukrainian government refused to sign a partnership deal with the European Union that would have meant economic destruction of the country,” Jeffrey Steinberg, senior editor at Executive Intelligence Review said. “And that government is violently overthrown by… the children and grand children of the wartime pro-Nazi Ukrainians, who fought with the Axis (the Axis powers) against the Soviet Union, United States, Britain and others in World War Two,” he added. “These violent people carried out the military coup, and the United States and most European countries have refused to acknowledge that, and fully support the overthrow of a legitimately-elected and certified government,” the veteran journalist noted. “Now they have turned against Russia because Russia has told the truth about the neo-Nazi networks deeply involved in the coup, about the illegality of it. So, now Russia is being punished basically for telling the truth and for defending the Russian minorities in Ukraine at a time when they are genuinely under threat,” Steinberg stated. He went on to say that the Geneva agreement was broken by these neo-Nazi networks, who carried out armed attacks against pro-Russian protesters. “What we are seeing is an attempt to provoke a confrontation with Russia,” he said, adding that people like US President Barack Obama, Susan Rice and Victoria Nuland “want a confrontation with Russia and they are using Ukraine as an excuse.”
