US/EU To Russia: Accept 30-Day Ceasefire by Monday or New Sanctions. Medvedev: "Shove your Plan up your arse"

The European Union/United States/NATO has told Russia they must begin a 30--day, unconditional, ceasefire with Ukraine this coming Monday, or face the severe new economic sanctions on their Banking and Oil sectors.

Dmitry Medvedev spoke about this publicly today on social media, telling the EU/US/NATO what they can do with their plan:

I think Medvedev's remark was a bit less cordial than most in the West expected. 

Why would Russia agree to this when it is Russia who is winning?

Moreover, Russia talked to them about a 30-day ceasefire and demanded methods to make certain Ukraine was NOT being re-armed during that period.  The West completely discarded that condition.

As such, it seems to most THINKING people that the sole reason the EU/US/NATO want this ceasefire is to re-arm Ukraine so as to start the conflict again, only with Ukraine re-armed.  It seems to most people that Russia knows it cannot trust the West, after it came out that the Minsk Agreement was a deliberate deception that Ukraine "had no intention of honoring."

Without methods to assure Ukraine is not being re-armed, Russia would not agree to a ceasefire.  So now the West is trying to force the issue under threat of additional economic sanctions.

Russia does not respond well to threats.

Russia is presently the most-heavily sanctioned country on earth, and they're doing just fine!

Most people are expecting Monday to come and go without Russia agreeing to a ceasefire.  We'll all see soon enough.

In the meantime, Russia is warming up their new ORESHNIK hypersonic, medium-range, Ballistic Missiles at their Kapustin Yar facility.  They have issued a NOTAM, restricting air space, presumably for launches early next week.  (Story Here)
