'Don’t Get Russia Wrong': NATO Intel Warns Against Misjudging Moscow On Ukraine -- RT

Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to be split up, NATO intelligence officials say, warning their colleagues against wrongly assessing Moscow’s policy on the crisis in eastern Ukraine.

That’s according to a report in German magazine Der Spiegel written by intelligence officers from several NATO countries. They argue that Moscow is not interested in escalating the situation in Ukraine, and is not going to repeat the scenario of what happened in Crimea.

The officers believe that the Kremlin is merely interested in seeing the reorganization of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics into functioning administrative units within a federalized Ukraine, if those regions can reach an agreement with Kiev.

My Comment:  As I had mentioned in a previous post .... the conditions are now right for a political solution to the Ukraine crisis .... that will in turn lessen tensions between NATO and Russia. Unfortunately .... after months of warfare and violence .... trust among all the parties in the Ukraine is non-existent .... and any hopes for a reconciliation are remote at best.
