Tightening the U.S. Grip on Western Europe: Washington’s Iron Curtain in Ukraine | Global Research
In September 2013, one of Ukraine’s richest oligarchs, Viktor Pinchuk,
paid for an elite strategic conference on Ukraine’s future that was held
in the same Palace in Yalta, Crimea, where Roosevelt, Stalin and
Churchill met to decide the future of Europe in 1945. The Economist,
one of the elite media reporting on what it called a “display of fierce
diplomacy”, stated that: “The future of Ukraine, a country of 48m
people, and of Europe was being decided in real time.” The participants
included Bill and Hillary Clinton, former CIA head General David
Petraeus, former U.S. Treasury secretary Lawrence Summers, former World
Bank head Robert Zoellick, Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt, Shimon
Peres, Tony Blair, Gerhard Schröder, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Mario
Monti, Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaite, and Poland’s influential
foreign minister Radek Sikorski.
