​From Minsk to Wales, Germany is the key on Ukraine Conflict - Pepe Escobar

``Ukraine's economy -- now under disaster capitalism intervention -- is... well, a disaster. It's way beyond recession, now in deep depression. Any forthcoming IMF funds serve to pay outstanding bills and feed the (losing) creaking military machine... The notion that the EU will pay Ukraine's humongous bills is a myth. Germany (which runs the EU) wants a deal. Fast. The reason is very simple. Germany is growing only 1.5 percent in 2014. Why? Because the Washington-propelled sanction hysteria is hurting German business. Merkel finally got the message. Or at least seems to have.''
