President Obama plans to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, and White House officials say it will include a pledge that the US will not provide “lethal aid” for Ukraine in its ongoing crackdown against secessionists in the east.
The White House statement gave the impression this is a done deal, but other officials, including top State Department aide Thomas Shannon, say that the prospect of sending arms to Ukraine is “obviously” still being considered.
Protesters seeking increased autonomy, and potentially outright secession, have taken over multiple eastern provinces in the Ukraine, and as the pro-US interim government moves to send the military against those provinces, they have been courting Western nations, including the US, for increased military aid.
Not only is the region on Russia’s border, but many of the secessionists are ethnic Russians, and this has Russian officials warning they won’t accept a bloody crackdown on their frontier. US involvement would risk seeing Russia arming the protesters, and potentially intervene directly.
The EU governing body demanding for Kiev self proclaimed government to act against Ukrainian people in East, Swedish foreign minister, Carl Bildt and rest of the Swedish government is one of the supporter of Neo fascists in Ukraine, which we have said in many occasion that Swedish government and is agendas is for more of European government to support such movement all over Europe. Carl Bildt has a dark background, he is simply a corrupt personality as the Swedish prime minister is, an aristocrats, far right politician who is cooperating in direct fashion with what is known as “Neo democrats” which is a Neo fascist political party, such political movements are simply supported and encouraged all over Europe by these far right government, in Sweden however, Carl Bildt and his political party known as “moderaterna”, being a oil company executive making illegal deals in Africa and at home lying about his past, not following on their promises has become the Swedish government habit, Sweden has become one of the corrupt system in Europe which its ranking in corruption highly noted by Saudis and others as well. So it wouldn’t be surprise if the Swedish manufactured weapons from Bofors or other company starts poring into Ukraine.
The other high ranking politically corrupt European personality is Anders Fogh Rasmussen the head of NATO who wants for NATO to invade Ukraine.
I really do hope that McCain on the other of Obombah´s white masters do that. Starting from "non-leathal" to man-pads and why not nukes so Tymoshenko could wipe out all Russians as she was threatening, i mean what could possibly go wrong?
This is what you can expect from the inbreed "elite" of a mere 200 year old settler state, drenched in blood and without any memory (history) of it´s own.
pledge that the US will not provide “lethal aid”
Seem to recall that was Hillary's line on Syria. Makes me wonder if the USg is capable of non-lethal 'aid.'
Why can't America ever just mind its own business?
Bipartisan imperial hegemony. The doctrine/slogan is "full-spectrum dominance", We propose to be little short of gods, with the right to intervene in and decide all affairs of all peoples everywhere.
The Russians should retaliate by provideing "aid" to certain groups in the Middle-East.
If this were Syria, we would be happily arming these seccesionists as they are "resisting tyranny," and seeking their own self determination. But now, becuase they are pro-Russian, and are going against the Nato/EU/U.S. installed puppet government, all of a sudden, they are now – terrorists?
Hypocrisy at its finest.
