Сегодня администрация Трампа сняла часть санкций с ФСБ: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cyber_gl1.pdf
Это происходит на фоне ареста сотрудников ФСБ, обвиненных в измене и передачи сведений США, и на фоне эскалации конфликта в Украине. Эскалация началась непосредственно после телефонного разговора между Трампом и Путиным.
Детальный анализ Bellingcat показывает, что при запуске снарядов из Донецка в Авдеевку была использована путинская тактика "стоять позади людей, не спереди, а сзади".
The available evidence clearly documents that on 31 January 2017, multiple attacks with MLR systems were launched in proximity of the hypermarket Auchan in Donetsk. The location deep inside the so-called “DNR” and the firing directing pointing toward Avdiivka clearly document the responsible side for these particular attacks. One launch site is around 200 meters east of the hypermarket, and in fewer than 500 meters from a school and residential area. The second launch site is in proximity of the bypass and around 600 meters from an industrial area and 1000 meters from a residential area. Some of the attacks occured during the day while the nearby bypass was also used by civilians. Given the proximity of both launch sites to civilian infrastructure in the area, a potential Ukrainian counter attack to surpress and respond to the rocket fire would have automatically risked civilian lives in the area. The cross-country mobility of the likely used MLR system, BM-21 Grad, would have allowed alternative launch sites. However, the repeated usage of the launch site 200 meters east of the hypermarket Auchan strongly suggest that the selection of this area happened on purpose, deliberately risking the lives of the civilians in the area.

Статья в консервативном National Review предполагает, что цель Путина - пробить сухопутный коридор через Мариуполь в Крым, и наивно призывает Трампа окликнуться на нынешние события хотя бы одним твитом.
Since June 2015, I’ve believed that Putin intends to carve out an area of southeastern Ukraine to include the city of Mariupol. Taking Mariupol would give Putin control of contiguous territory right down to the Sea of Azov. But Mariupol is also the endpoint of Ukraine’s North-South H-20 highway and a junction of southern Ukraine’s East-West E-58 highway. Here’s where Avdiivka comes into play, because Avdiivka is a crossroads for the H-20 highway and central Ukraine’s East-West E-50 highway. These are the keys to Putin’s Ukrainian castle. Control the highways and you control the lines of communication. Control the lines of communication, and you control the battlespace. Control the battlespace and you have . . . control.

Трамп между тем воюет в Твиттере с Австралией и Беркли, а его администрация скромно отмалчивается.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer had little to say on Wednesday when asked for the administration's position on the renewed fighting that began over the weekend and persisted into early Wednesday. At least 10 people have been killed and dozens wounded. President Donald Trump has been "kept aware of developments" in Ukraine, Spicer said, and the White House will "have further updates as we go on." It was not immediately clear when those updates would come.
