Couple of interesting "takes"
Here is a read of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's response to the communication sent to him by the US. Some juicy tidbits, there is also a full link to FM Lavrov's website with his full discussion, interview style. The US communication was provided to the rest of NATO and Ukraine and probably Mr. Ed & Wilbur so he has no illusions it will remain "confidential" - but this is a sharp guy & worth listening to given that he's seen & survived a lot. He also (inconveniently for the west) brings up that old outdated notion that if you break a part of an international treaty or agreement, then the whole thing is rendered moot. Which, if I recall, as been international protocol since... ever. (Barristers please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Second up is a short missive by a regular blogger making the case to give "time" some time (to work).
