Clinton urges tougher response to Russia on Ukraine:

Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state who is now a leading contender to be the next president, has called for a stronger response to Russia's actions in Ukraine and Syria, saying Moscow's objectives were "to stymie, to confront, and to undermine American power whenever and wherever."

In thinly veiled criticism of President Barack Obama's administration and its current approach to Russia, Clinton said that Washington should be doing more in response to Russia's interference in Ukraine.

"I have been, I remain convinced that we need a concerted effort to really up the costs on Russia and in particular on Putin. I think we have not done enough," she said following a speech on September 9 at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.

"I am in the category of people who wanted us to do more in response to the annexation of Crimea and the continuing destabilization of Ukraine."

Russia took over Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014, after sending troops and staging a referendum denounced as illegitimate by the United States and about 100 other countries.

The United States says Russia has sent troops and weapons into eastern Ukraine to support separatists in a conflict that has killed more than 7,900 people since April 2014.

"We can't dance around it anymore. We all wish it would go away," she said. "We all wish Putin would choose to modernize his country and move toward the West instead of sinking himself into historical roots of tsar-like behavior, and intimidation along national borders and projecting Russian power in places like Syria and elsewhere."

The comments by Clinton, who served as Obama's secretary of state from 2009 until February 2013, bore similarities to sentiments being voiced with growing frequency by other candidates, particularly Republicans.

Clinton faces several other Democrats also seeking the party's nomination to be its candidate in the November 2016 election.

None of the announced candidates has had as much experience shaping Russia policy as Clinton, who helped put Obama's first term "reset" of relations with Moscow in place.

Clinton said some achievements were made while Dmitry Medvedev was in office as Russian president from 2008-2012, including the New START nuclear arms-control pact and enhanced cooperation on transit of U.S. arms and materiel to Afghanistan.

But she said Putin's return to the Kremlin changed that.

"I think Russia's objectives are to stymie and to confront and undermine American power whenever and wherever they can. I don't think there's much to be surprised about them," she said.

"We have to do more to get back talking about how to we try to confine, contain, deter Russian aggression in Europe and beyond," she said. "And try to figure out what are the best tools for doing that. And don't lose sight of the Arctic because we're going to have a lot of issues up there as well."​

Reforms in Ukraine: public opinion of citizens

       

The Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation conducted polling in conjunction with the Razumkov /Center from July 22-27, 2015. A total of 2,011 respondents aged 18 and oldere  were polled Crimea and the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. The theoretical margin of error does not exceed 2.3%. The polling was conducted within the framework of the Civil Social Consortioum with the support of the European Union.

• Basically every Ukrainian felt the consequences of the current financial-economic crisis: 59%- very seriously and another 37% - to a certain degree. The main economic consequence of the crisis for the majority of the population was the rise in prices (75%) and the reduced purchase of clothing and other items (72%) associated with this, the decrease in consumption of food products (67%) and the limitation of purchase of medications and medical services (55%). Every fourth citizen felt a reduction in wages.
• The overwhelming majority of Ukrainias do not believe in the success of reforms tht the government is trying to implement: 32% have certain hopes, although they do not believe that this will happen and 30% are totally hopeless. However, only 30% on the whole believe that reforms will be successful.
• Nearly half of Ukrainians (48%) feels that the new Ukrainian leadership did not achieve any progress in implementing reforms. Every fourth citizen feels that approximately 10% of that which should have been done was achieved, every 10^th felt that no more than a third of the reforms were implemented and 3% - no more than half. Finally, 0.6% of citizens believe that the government implemented more than half of the planned reforms..
• In the opinion of citizens, the government and oligarchs are the greatest obstacles to the conducting of reforms (51%). On the other hand, in the opinion of 32% of Ukrainians, the government is not an obstacle to reforms, rather on the contrary fosters the conduct of reforms. Conversely, only 7% of Ukrainians have such an opinion a it pertains to oligarchs. Accordingly, the conditional balance of the attitudes towards the role of oligarchs in conducting reforms is the worst among agents in this process (-44%). Ukrainians give an extremely low assessment of the analogous influence of state officials (-38%) as well as political forces that are part of the composite of the coalition (-22%). The number of those who feel that the president is the driving force and the brakes on reform is approximately equal: 37% і 39% respectively. Non-government organizations and volunteers can boast the highest balance of the attitudes of citizens in the context of influence  on the conducting of reforms: 22% feel that they foster reforms,, while only 0.5% – that are obstacles to such reforms. Ukrainian citizens demonstrated a similar balance overall: 18.5% feel that the president is the driving force of reforms, while only 3% feel his is an obstacle to them.
• The main reason for the current socioeconomic crisis in Ukraine is the corruption among representatives of the ruling power (72% of Ukrainians are convinced of this). Besides that, in their opinion the oligargization of the economy was also an important (54%), incompetent administration of the social and economic spheres on the part of the political leadership of the country (47%) and the absence of a strategy of socioeconomic development (35%). 30% of the polled believe the military actions in the Donbas region are the cause of the crisis.
• The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians (54%) support the continuation of market reforms for the sake of overcoming the socioeconomic crisis in the country. 20% of the polled named the transition to a planned economy a panacea.
• The most important reform for Ukrainians is anti-corruption measures – 65% of citizens feel this. In addition to that, on the list of priority reforms respondents of the poll mention reform of law enforcement bodies (58%), pension reform and reform of the social security system (40%) and reform of the healthcare system (36%).
• Only 9% Ukrainians are fully satisfied with the state of the government informing them about its work. In the opinion of 39% of citizens, the information that the government provides often does not correspond to reality, 28% feel that such information is not sufficient and 24% complain that the information is not understood. At the same time, 12% are convinced that experts and not the average citizen should be interested in such information.
• Ukrainians are split in their attitudes towards the appointment of citizens of other countries to state positions, first and foremost Georgia. The equal number of the polled – 42% – support and do not such staffing decisions. Moreover, in the western and central oblasts of Ukraine the polled support such appointments (58% and 49% assess them as positive, respectively), while in the southern and eastern oblasts and the Donbas region  the people for the most part do not support such appointment (33%, 29% and 26%, respectively). The attitudes towards the appointment of Mikhail Saakashvili the head of the Odesa Oblast State Administration (OSA) are slightly better: 44% gave a positive assessment, while 38% gave a negative assessment. At the same time, the regional differences are equally expressive: in western and central oblasts the majority of the population supports such a decision (62% and 53%, respectively), while in the southern and eastern oblasts and the Donbas region – the minority (35%, 30% and 28%, respectively).
• Slightly more than a third of Ukrainians (36%) are ready to tolerate a further decline in their standard of living for the sake of the success of reforms (of them 8% are ready to tolerate as much as it takes, while 28% - no more than a year). At the same time, every third Ukrainian cannot tolerate it any longer as their material status today is intolerable and every fourth citizen cannot tolerate any longer as it does not believe in the success of reforms.  Only in western regions of the country the majority of residents are ready to tolerate material hardships for a certain period of time (overall, 57%). In all other regions of the country such residents were in the minority (in the central region – 37.5%, in the southern region – 25%, in the eastern region – 23%, in the Donbas – 28%). Over the past half year, the number of those who are ready to tolerate hardships for the sake of the implementation of reforms decreased by 8%, while the number of those who are not ready to tolerate such hardships increased by 11%.  
• Nearly 30% of Ukrainians are aware of the civil initiative “Reanimation Package of Reforms”: 4% a well aware of it, while 25% heard something about it.
• A relative majority of Ukrainians (51%) admitted that it is not ready to make personal efforts for the sake of the success of reforms in the country: 28% – because they feel that bodies of the state should engage in them, while 23% - because they do not believe in the success of reforms. On the other hand, 28% are ready to attentively observe information about the progress of reforms in the mass media, 13% are ready to gain knowledge necessary for orienting themselves regarding reforms and 11% are ready to participated in public debates.

effettivamente anche a me il dato sembra sottostimato

[Andreas A]

Lend-Lease (in italiano "Legge Affitti e prestiti") fu una iniziativa politica con il quale gli Stati Uniti fornirono a Regno Unito, Unione Sovietica, Francia, Cina e altri paesi alleati grandi quantità di materiale di guerra (altrimenti detto matériel) durante la seconda guerra mondiale tra il 1941 e il 1945.

 

Il programma ebbe inizio nel marzo 1941, ossia nove mesi prima dell'attacco a Pearl Harbor, e terminò poco dopo il D-Day, il 2 settembre 1944.L'atto di nascita del Lend-Lease fu il Lend-Lease Act del 11 marzo 1941, che permise al Presidente degli Stati Uniti di «...vendere, trasferire titoli a, scambiare, dare in affitto, prestare, o disporre in altra maniera, a ognuno dei governi [la cui difesa è ritenuta vitale per la difesa degli Stati Uniti stessi dal Presidente] qualsiasi articolo da difesa.» L'atto fu firmato da Franklin D. Roosevelt che approvò 1 miliardo di dollari US in aiuti Lend-Lease per la Gran Bretagna a fine ottobre 1941.

 

Il Lend-Lease fu importante per la vittoria finale alleata nella Seconda guerra mondiale e particolarmente negli anni in cui gli Stati Uniti non erano direttamente coinvolti nel conflitto. Infatti, fino all'attacco a Pearl Harbor, l'intero peso del conflitto gravava sulle spalle del Commonwealth e, dal giugno 1941, dell'Unione Sovietica. Dopo l'ingresso degli Stati Uniti in guerra nel dicembre 1941, la preparazione dell'esercito (arruolamento, riarmo, addestramento e trasporto delle truppe in zona di guerra) richiese del tempo. Durante tutto il 1942 e il 1943 - anche se in misura minore - lo sforzo bellico degli alleati continuò ad essere essenziale ed il rifornimento di equipaggiamento militare mediante il Lend-Lease era parte importante del loro successo.

 

Anche quando gli statunitensi raggiunsero la piena forza militare in Europa e nel Pacifico, Lend-Lease continuò. Molte nazioni belligeranti erano autosufficienti, a questo stadio, dal punto di vista di materiali da prima linea (come carri armati o aerei da caccia), ma il Lend-Lease forniva un supplemento molto prezioso per quanto riguarda tutte le categorie di armamento e la logistica (inclusi camion, jeep, navi da sbarco e soprattutto l'aereo da trasporto Douglas C-47).

 

Se si considerano le distorsioni provocate dall'economia di guerra, questi aiuti possono essere compresi appieno. Lo sforzo produttivo dei paesi belligeranti tagliò fuori gran parte di prodotti considerati non essenziali visto l'impegno nel realizzare armamenti.

 

Per fare un esempio, l'URSS era fortemente dipendente dal trasporto ferroviario. La crescita della produzione di armamenti comportò la riduzione a 20 nuove unità dell'intera produzione di locomotive nel periodo della guerra. In questo contesto, la fornitura da parte degli Stati Uniti di 1981 locomotive americane acquisisce un significato notevole. Analogamente, l'aeronautica militare sovietica beneficiava del rifornimento di benzina ad alto numero di ottano statunitense. Fino al 1943, erano scarse le obiezioni negli Stati Uniti agli aiuti forniti all'URSS.

 

Un totale di 50,1 miliardi di dollari in matériel fu fornito agli Alleati.

11,3 miliardi all'Unione Sovietica;

3,2 miliardi alla Francia;

1,6 miliardi alla Cina.

Da notare che non ci fu un programma per il Canada, il quale aveva un programma simile che fornì 4,7 miliardi di dollari in beni al Regno Unito e all'Unione Sovietica.

 

Una quantità molto grande di matériel era situato o in transito in Gran Bretagna quando Washington pose termine repentinamente e inaspettatamente al Lend-Lease il 2 settembre 1945. Questo equipaggiamento fu venduto per un valore pari a circa il 10% del prezzo originario, pagabile in 50 anni al 2% di interesse. Il debito era inizialmente di 1.075 milioni di sterline. La somma fu finalmente fissata a 42,5 milioni di sterline da restituire entro il 31 dicembre 2006 (la data fu spostata in varie occasioni) e terminata di pagare il 29 dicembre 2006.

 

Secondo gli accordi con l'URSS per il Lend-Lease, tutti i sistemi di armamento dovevano essere restituiti agli USA alla fine delle ostilità, oppure distrutti sotto supervisione statunitense. Un gran numero di aeromobili fu così distrutto. Numerosi mezzi navali furono invece restituiti agli Stati Uniti negli ultimi anni quaranta. I rimanenti materiali bellici e i debiti residui del Lend-Lease pesano tuttora sulle relazioni Russo-Americane.
