Whilst threatening Russia with more sanctions, US Secretary of State John Kerry has condemned the country’s behavior toward the Ukraine ceasefire. Separatist rebels, however, have reported a planned prisoner exchange.
During his meeting with his British counterpart Philip Hammond in London on Saturday, Kerry said Russia’s conduct was “completely counter to what the international community” worked for in the Ukraine ceasefire.
Over a week since the repeatedly violated ceasefire was agreed in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, Kerry said the US and its allies were “not going to play this game” with Russia and “be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behavior.”

If Kerry gets upset with the Russians who don’t respect “negotiated” truces, imagine how upset he will be with Netanyahu and the Israelis when they ignore his precious “historic agreement” with the mad mullahs and deal with Iran’s nuclear facilities in a definitive manner.

Did he call it “gunboat diplomacy?”

The US is engaged in a conspiracy to bottle up Russia to prevent their petrol-products from competing with the Arabs...
...under BO we’ve become thug nation.
Or else the oil cartel drops the petrol $’s as currency of the realm.
Didn’t Kerry serve in Vietnam?

Or “always have (your) back”.
The US & GB were not parties to the negotiations which led to the Minsk2 ceasefire, so what they have to say about it implementation doesn’t really matter to Russia.
Furthermore, their proxy Poroshenko has proven to be an inept and unpopular leader which is likely what is really grinding them.
“Putin must tremble at the might voice of lurch.”
Putin better watch it or he might receive a sternly worded letter from Lurch...
