The new Military Doctrine of Ukraine officially states that the Russian Federation is a military adversary of Ukraine and sets a task to redeploy military units and formations and establish proper military infrastructure in eastern and southern regions,” Petro Poroshenko said opening the discussion of the new edition of the Military Doctrine of Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, all military threats and challenges are related to Russia. And all of them are of lasting nature. Conscious or subconscious rejection of Ukraine’s independence is so deeply rooted in the mentality of Russian political elite that it will not disappear in historical perspective,” the Head of State emphasized.
“False post-Soviet military doctrine based on the anticipation of an attack from the West hasn’t been reformatted in 24 years,” the President said adding that in times of Yanukovych the liquidation commission of Russian agents was working in the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian special forces to eliminate the last cells of combat capability.
The Head of State emphasized that the army has been recreated in a year: “We’ve created a new and modern army”.
The novelty of the Military Doctrine, according to the President, is to abandon the policy of non-alignment and restore strategic course towards the Euro-Atlantic integration, shift the emphasis in the conduct of military operations on the complex use of military and non-military instruments: economic, political, information-psychological etc. “This fundamentally changes the nature of armed struggle. This is actually what we call a hybrid war,” Petro Poroshenko said.
The program recognizes that “in the medium term, Ukraine will primarily use its own capacity”.
However, the common thread of the entire strategic document is the Euro-Atlantic integration, the necessity of bringing the entire military-defensive system in conformity with the NATO standards, achievement of membership criteria. It also sets a task to ensure full compatibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with respective NATO forces by 2020.
According to the President, both Ukraine and NATO are not ready to discuss membership yet. Still, there is a decision of the Bucharest Summit of 2008, which clearly states that “the doors are open”.
“I insist that the final version must provide for the achievement of not only criteria, but also full NATO membership,” Petro Poroshenko said.
We have always been at war with Eurasia

and cartoonists should draw him in it.
Minsk 2 has a bear jaw grip on Kiev.
http://tass.ru/en/world/818320
UNSC resolution (unanimous) is the teeth behind the Minsk 2 protocols.
“So when the Kiev authorities are ignoring the political elements of the Minsk agreements, it means they are violating the UN Security Council resolution. Please, keep that in mind,” Churkin told a news conference devoted to the start of Russia’s presidency of the UN Security Council.
First order of business as Russia takes over the chairmanship of the SC this month, you might see, is the Minsk 2 accords and Kiev’s violation of the SC resolution. This opens the door for Russia to take some action with UN blessing.
If you might notice, most of the guns of Kiev have gone silent.
I suspect Putin told Merkel to tell Porky the SU 25’s were on the runway and the guns would go silent one way or the other.
Progress is being made. It’s been painful, horrific and frustrating. But this is a long game to break NATO and EU grip on Ukraine, de-nazify Kiev and bring the Novorossiya parts of Ukraine to the EAEU and Eurasian development.
Depending on UNSC is futile. Any of the FUKUS can veto any action.
Alan,
The resolution already passed unanimously. No veto is possible. It is official and Russia, if it so chooses, can act using the resolution in the SC as force of law.
Precedents exist.
Not complicated to understand.
I think Porky and the junta’s intent is to have Kiev destroyed in a huge false flag event.
There can be no hope otherwise for such delirium as this document. Russia and Belarus will never tolerate NATO in Ukraine or Ukraine as part of NATO.
This is opiate for the warmongers but will be trash when the junta falls.
We have a man who should by all rights be swinging from his neck attached to a lamppost producing worthless military and political decrees while killing his people. I realize this qualifies him for Nobel Prizes and Congressional honorariums, even bronzed plaques engraved with lofty praise from other psychopaths of history. However, Porky, I suspect, will not die in his bed. In fact, the KGB shooting team that took out S.Bandera in Germany in ’59 might have one more good one in them for old time sake.
I wish.
Red Ryder, I doubt the FSB thinks he’s worth that last bullet. No one is taking the alien porkface seriously anymore. After death I think will be his problem. He seems like a clone…no soul in there.
If one could imagine him a few centuries ago…he’s just a madman…
That the Ukies haven’t recognized it…well..hmmm.
But thank God I was not born in Urkaine to a poor family. I wonder if everyone who wanted to get out, managed to get out. Think if you had animals..and didn’t want to abandon them.
Although perhaps there are not many animals left in Ukraine ? Do you think they’ve even eaten all the horses ? And the pure bred dogs ?
Actually most people are trying their best to live as normal as you can under a dictatorship.I have a friend in one of the other Novorossian Oblasts.His son has just enrolled in a technical school in Kharkov.He is very pro-Russian (its hard to actually say it like that.Because to him he is “Russian”).He’s afraid of the nazi-nationalist thugs,and is hoping for liberation.But with a family he’s afraid to come out “very anti-junta” in public.He said his son is scared and nervous at the school.I cautioned him to tell his son to watch what he says there.He said his son knows not to talk about politics.But as that shows,even in a dictatorship life must continue as best it can.Even during WWII in occupied Europe most of one’s life was taken up with day to day living.
Porky just wants to make war with Russia
legal and historically inevitable and thus
correct by decision. Later he probaly declares some amendment to doctrine where an preemptive nuclear strike against Russia is excusable (of course in Ukrainian national interests and only as a last resort)… I am sure he will be supplied with some nuke – even of Soviet origin. That is his role and that is what he is paid for.
Some idealists active here on the blog probably hope that Kremlin first goes to UN SC hoping nobody vetoes Russian appeal for common sence and world peace…
I can be wrong,
in a way even the Saker had to admit he was with Russian intervention, now stressing his last resort meaning of it.
I think even Putin will give up his effort to play according to international law. Because the law is interpreted and even raped by the hegemon and this only watched by the impotent UN authorities.
Well, probably Russia was not ready to fight yet, neither in Ukraine nor in Syria. But will it ever be?
Ukraine is getting stronger being armed by the West, IS is gaining territory…soon there will be danger to Russia on three fronts.
I consider Russia to have been fit enough to intervene in whole Ukraine over a year ago in a way similar to “green men” in Crimea. NATO would just not be able to react.
If Russia was/is not so strong, than it was just lucky to manage the Crimea matter in the last minute. I wish them further luck. They will need it for sure and probably quite soon.
Dear The Saker,
I can’t even be bothered to read this pidgin non sensical english tosh by Chocie boy. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie and ridiculous. As Churkin said today, Ukraine has violated the UNSC resolution – so good luck to him! He/they are so stupid he/they don’t even comprehend how serious this is. The more he/they lie, the more people are waking up to just how crazy he is/they are.
Rgds,
Veritas
Poor Ukraine, there is a not a particles chance of them becoming a NATO member, NATO would never accept them, accepting Ukraine would mean a fullscale war between Russia and NATO, according to Ukraine, Ukraine is already at war with NATO.
I have to wonder how eager Europe is at this point to include Ukraine in Nato. Is Poroshenko’s plan realistic?
European politicians are stupid enough,
they even do not need the order from White House,
they just will act and draw European nations into a stupid war because some “danger” to Ukraine. Ehm, does not matter they will have to pay for it, probably by islamisation of Europe, as the immigrants are most possibly accepted in order to enroll them in German/French/etc. armies against Russia.
But this one was good by Poroshenko: “Russian agents was working in the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian special forces to eliminate the last cells of combat capability.” Hey, and they did succeed, good job Mr. Putin to arrange for it 20 years ago. Ufff, Porky is just a (tragic) clown.
Given the handing over of vast equipment to the NRA, maybe if Ukraine wants to start adopting NATO protocols they can start practicing military exercises with broom handles like the Germans do.

Cost effective and they can also minimise accidents that live fire training and Vodka is sure to entail. Another cost cutting exercise could be using cardboard cutout vehicles instead of real ones, save on fuel and also prevent their sober military from running over grannies and children. Must think safety, oh, talking of safety and NATO/EU, do they use those fn Fluro Safety Vests in the Military for Pindos yet? Just about everything else in the EU uses those ghastly things. Makes me wonder how humanity survived so long without such great safety viability vests.
My eyes hurt!
Pretty audacious for a guy who’s on his way out the door. If you want to play the NATO game the first thing you need is money. Ukraine is up to its eyebrows in debt, which presents a problem w/r to this new military doctrine. If I was asking Poroshenko, I’d say, “If Russia is your biggest scare, then when did that come to pass? It wasn’t the case when Janukovitch was president, so why should it be now that you’re president- because Nuland or Biden told you so?”
By the way, Mr. President, today is Sept. 2. Winter is on the way, and it will turn cold soon. How does this grandstanding secure the gas supply that the people are going to need to stay warm?
Even though the U.S. military has fewer bases that it did at the end of the Cold War, it has increasingly inserted itself into new corners of the globe with the help of small, often secretive “lily pad” bases; today, there are bases in around 80 countries and U.S. territories — roughly twice as many as in 1989.

The real truth about the conflict with Russia >> https://goo.gl/nKJndT
I don’t agree at all with much of that study.There are major errors even near the start “The Ashkenazim – descendants of the gentile Ashkenaz the Japhetite – are a resilient roaming Turkic people. They have a knack for reinventing themselves. They first surfaced in world annals as the notoriously barbaric Scythians or Sakadeans depending on regional phonetic.” There was a racial as well as ethnic difference between Scythians and Turkic peoples in ancient days.And here “Then, Sviatoslav I of Kiev destroyed Khazaria around 1048 and absorbed it into Kievan Rus’, a territory that would later become part of the Russian Empire.” Sviatoslav died almost a hundred years before that date.So if in one small part of the study there are 2 major easily proved errors what can we make of the whole study.I did see some correct historical points.But in general the study is just an exercise in racism,pretty sad really.
Saker,
as much as I despise this fascist pig, I try not to underestimate my enemies, and I do not consider him so stupid that he does not understand the implication of going against the UNSC. He is being instructed to play this charade, he will order the attack after a false flag, just to give NAF all the fault, and whatever decision the UNSC will take regarding Ukraine, Us-Uk as permanent members, may veto it.
“The new Military Doctrine of Ukraine officially states that the Russian Federation is a military adversary of Ukraine and sets a task to redeploy military units and formations and establish proper military infrastructure in eastern and southern regions,”
This part is probably a way for him to explain why they will try to garrison Novorossian Oblasts to enforce terror there.
The Ukraine is but one theater of what Dick Cheney, back in the day called “the long war.” The objective is to neutralize Russia using the same tactics as with ISIS in Syria.
i am afraid that situation can develop own dynamic of events which would be uncontrollable by west, US or Russia. and which could bring to serious armed conflict between NATO and Russia and US of course. that would easy bring world to another world war which none want, but it may happen as karma, punishment or irony…
The news about Russians in Syria comes mostly from Jewish Mafia and I wish it’d be true. They should be there helping President Assad to defend freedom in that corner of the planet earth and fight all the criminal bastards who love to murder millions of innocent people all over the world: Iraq, Afganistan , Syria, etc. John Perkins says in his Secret History of the American Empire, page 266 that U.S. murdered more people than … just read. Only couragious stand against them can secure peace and living with dignity.
