The key graphs from a pretty lame article from Russian Insider on the appointment of Boris Gryzlov to head up the Minsk II contact group:
What the article talks around is the most probable role for Gryzlov: to end the political existence of Novorussiya as part of a (probable) deal between Russia and the US involving concessions in Syria for the sacrifice of the Donbass.
Quote:As for the reasons for Gryzlov's appointment, it is surely connected to Russian frustration with the deadlock in the Minsk process.
Not only has the Ukrainian government entirely failed to carry out the political commitments it made in February in Minsk, but the military situation in the Donbass is deteriorating once more.
Gryzlov's appointment puts a strong man - and one Putin trusts - in place to deal with the situation as it deteriorates.
With Putin feeling increasingly confident that Western interest in Ukraine in slackening, he has now brought a tough and reliable man onto the scene who can be relied upon to shape the situation in Russia's interests.
