BERLIN (Reuters) - Diplomatic progress was made during four-way talks on the Ukraine crisis and an agreement was reached on establishing security zones between pro-Russian fighters and Kiev's forces, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

"Finally there was an agreement reached today that the demarcation line, mentioned in the Minsk protocol, will be the line from which the withdrawal of heavy weaponry should start now," Steinmeier said late on Wednesday after talks with his counterparts from France, Russia and Ukraine.

Notice the announcement and story are out of Berlin. Yes, THAT Berlin. The interesting question is how does Germany get a say about eastern Ukraine.
I would call it Chutzpah, but the Germans nearly killed everyone in Ukraine who uses that term.

And now, for some reason,, THEY are on a moral high horse there and asserting a right to be the arbiter of government in Ukraine. Astonishing.

You didn’t even call me a Putinista. I remember last year this thread would have had about 200 posts. And you would have been really scornful.

Now just 2 posts, and it’s like your heart really isn’t in it. Don’t you even -care- anymore?

Pay close attention to Kaliningrad and Klaipeda in the next 12 months.

I still care, just not about you. You are so unremarkable that your name doesn’t even ring a bell.

It is not Germans killing Ukrainians, it is Russians.

Russians cannot be trusted on any thing they would agree to anyways, nobody trusts them and that is their destruction.

Putin won’t be observing any demarcation line. It is not going to stop at Donetsk and Russia will continue to move into Ukraine.
