Senate committee takes up Ukrainian aid; McCain to travel there

The man likes his trips.

A few details of the Senate’s Ukrainian aid bill are coming to light, via Foreign Relations chairman Bob Menendez.

The bill mirrors one passed in the House last week by providing $ 1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to Ukraine but goes further by containing language allowing a 2010 restructuring of the IMF to go forward.

It also directs the administration to help Ukraine in recovering assets linked to corrupt activities by former President Viktor Yanukovych, provides $ 50 million in direct aid for “democracy, governance and civil society assistance” and $ 100 million for military aide.

The committee will do a mark-up of the bill this afternoon; IMF reforms may be the main sticking point for conservatives, since those reforms may weaken United States’ influence over the organization.

Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain is helping the way he generally helps out during a crisis: by arranging photo-ops.

Seven senators plan to visit Ukraine this weekend to meet with the country’s political leaders and show support for the country’s ongoing standoff with Russia. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is leading the delegation, confirmed to reporters that he and “a large number” of senators of both parties would be making the trip.

Never really been a fan of senators of either party drifting off to make foreign policy statements in crisis zones, that generally being not their job, but I realize I’m probably in a tiny minority on that one. And McCain, who have we mentioned lately really wanted to be president so he could be in charge of these things, probably gets a warmer reception in Ukraine than he does in his home state.

US deploys fighter jets in Poland and Lithuania amid Ukrainian turmoil

F-16 Fighting Falcon (AFP Photo)

The US is sending a dozen F-16 fighter jets and nearly 300 service personnel to Poland by Thursday as part of a training exercise in response to the crisis in neighboring Ukraine, the Polish defense ministry confirmed.

The agreement to deploy US military forces in Poland was made between US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and Poland’s Minister of National Defense Tomasz Siemoniak during a telephone conversation on Sunday, March 9, 2014, according to a statement on the official website of the Polish Ministry of National Defense.

“The squadron will number twelve F-16 planes and will transport 300 soldiers,” Polish Defense Ministry spokesman, Jacek Sonta, confirmed to AFP.

Initially, the training exercise was planned to be smaller but was increased and pushed forward because of the “tense political situation” in neighboring Ukraine, added Sonta.

The ministry also said that the aim of sending the units is to “strengthen Polish – American cooperation.” Part of the preparation team of US Air Force has already arrived on Polish territory.

The fighters were sent on the initiative of the Polish government, an initiative immediately accepted by Washington.

Poland is a western neighbor of crisis-torn Ukraine – between the countries’ capitals, Warsaw and Kiev, there is less than 700 km.

Earlier, the Polish media reported that US fighter jets would be stationed at the Lask air force base in central Poland.

Washington is also sending four F-15 planes to Lithuania in response to “Russian aggression in Ukraine and increased military activity in Kaliningrad,” according to the Lithuanian Defense Ministry.

On Saturday, US Navy destroyer, the USS Truxtun, crossed Turkey’s Bosphorus and entered the Black Sea. The ship, with around 300 crew, was heading to “previously planned” training exercises with the Bulgarian and Romanian navies. When the vessel appeared in the Black Sea, Fox News declared that NATO’s bolstering presence in the Black Sea is a “defensive” measure to counter “Russian military aggression” in Ukraine.

USS Truxton, one of the largest destroyers ever built for the US navy, will reportedly stay in the Black Sea till mid-March as the Montreux Convention allows a warship of any non-Black Sea country to stay in the region for 21 day only.

The situation in Ukraine is close to financial and humanitarian catastrophe after the armed coup which took place in February. There are mass protests in eastern and southern parts of the country against the self-proclaimed authorities in Kiev.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea has scheduled a referendum for March 16 on whether it wants to remain part of Ukraine, or join Russia.

Disturbing Video From Ukraine – Communist “Red Ribbon/Armband” Crowd vs. Ukrainian Nationalists

Obama says Russia on wrong side of history, urges Congress to pass Ukrainian aid package

Screenshot of President Obama’s White House comments

In comments delivered at the White House early Monday afternoon, President Obama reiterated his view that Russia’s actions in Ukraine represent a violation of law and said that his “interest is seeing the Ukrainian people determine their own destiny.”

President Obama recognized the fact that there are many Russians in Ukraine, but pointed out that there also many Ukrainians in Russia. Those interests could be reconciled, he said, “but what cannot be done is for Russia, with impunity, to put its soldiers on the ground and violate basic principles are recognized around the world.” Obama said “the strong condemnation” of Russia by the international community “indicates the degree to which Russia is on the wrong side of history on this.”

Obama said that if Russia continues, the U.S. would lead a global push to “isolate” Russia and weaken its economy beyond steps already taken with respect to suspending plans for the G-8 summit planned for Sochi this summer. Obama tried to give Putin a way out by offering to support a mechanism to guarantee the safety of Russians in Ukraine, but said that if Russia presses forward with military action it would, over time, be “a costly proposition.”

Obama, who reiterated America’s support for the new Ukrainian government, also sent a message to Congress, calling on them to pass an aid package for Ukraine when they return from vacation. “I’ve heard a lot of talk from Congress about what should be done, what they want to do,” he said.

“One thing they can do right away is to work with the administration to help provide a package of assistance the Ukranian people in that country. When they get back in, assuming the weather clears, I would hope that would be the first order of business, because at this stage there should be unanimity among Democrats and Republicans that when it comes to preserving the principle that no country has a right to send in troops to another country unprovoked, we should be able to come up with a unified position.”

Krauthammer: Ukrainian Defense Minister Ignoring Hagel"s Calls Shows How Weak, Irrelevant US Has Become

When it comes to working with the United States, Russia is “playing a zero sum game,” Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News Thursday.

“The premise of the whole reset policy was that we are not in competition and Putin could not believe his luck, to come across a naif from the White House who believed that,” he said. “The Russians did not cooperate on Iran. They’re running Syria. They’re arming Syria. Thumbing their nose at us with Snowden and now Ukraine. And they are playing a zero sum game.”

“The fact that no one answers our call in the Defense Ministry in Kiev is a sign of how weak and irrelevant the U.S. has become,” he continued. “I can assure you that if Putin’s on the line, the phone is answered.”

Opposition supporters left City Hall in Kiev on Sunday. Efrem Lukatsky/Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Ending their occupation of City Hall in Kiev, Ukrainian protesters withdrew from the large granite building on Sunday — but then quickly threatened to take it back if the authorities did not immediately fulfill a pledge to drop all criminal charges against political activists.

The departure from the building in the capital after more than two months eased tensions — temporarily, at least — in the standoff between protesters and President Viktor F. Yanukovych, who set off the country’s tumultuous political crisis in November by spurning a trade deal with the European Union and tilting Ukraine, a former Soviet republic of 46 million people, toward Russia instead.

  Video: Violent Protests in UkraineJAN. 22, 2014

  
  

In a statement from Brussels, Catherine Ashton, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, welcomed the evacuation of City Hall as evidence that, after weeks of demands and counterdemands by each side, “several important steps have been undertaken during the last few days to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine, thus contributing to a Ukrainian way from the current political crisis.”

At the same time, however, tens of thousands of people poured into Independence Square in Kiev on Sunday to join a boisterous but peaceful antigovernment rally that featured speeches denouncing Mr. Yanukovych’s “bandit regime” and calling for his swift resignation.

How far both sides were willing to go toward a more enduring truce or even a settlement might become clearer on Tuesday, when Parliament reconvenes and Mr. Yanukovych might present a new candidate for prime minister to fill a post vacant since the last prime minister resigned, in January.

Arseniy P. Yatsenyuk, an opposition leader who last month rejected an offer from Mr. Yanukovych to take the post, said at the rally on Sunday that the roughly 2,000 criminal cases against protesters must be closed.

In an interview posted on the website of the Ukrainian weekly Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, Yulia V. Tymoshenko, a former prime minister and opposition leader jailed after Mr. Yanukovych defeated her in the 2010 election, said that she was willing to take part in negotiations to end the crisis but added that “the only topic” up for discussion was the manner of the president’s resignation, including “guarantees for the protection of his family.”

Barricades erected around Independence Square to fend off a possible attack by the riot police remained in place on Sunday, guarded by masked young men carrying homemade shields and wooden clubs. Located inside an area of central Kiev blocked off by barriers, City Hall, although no longer crammed with protesters, remained beyond the reach of the authorities.

But in a sign that neither side wants to return to the violent clashes that killed at least three protesters last month, the police pulled back from barricades on Hrushevsky Street, the soot-smeared scene of the worst violence, and protesters cleared a narrow passageway for vehicles to pass through tangled mounds of garbage, rubber tires, sandbags and ice. A line of masked men in helmets, however, blocked all traffic and pedestrians.

Many of the protesters who left City Hall on Sunday said they disagreed with the decision to vacate the building. The decision had been made by opposition leaders as part of an amnesty deal with the authorities aimed at defusing a crisis that a former Ukrainian president, Leonid M. Kravchuk, said last month had pushed the country to “the brink of civil war.” The government has agreed to drop all criminal charges against protesters, more than 200 of whom were freed from detention on Friday, although they remain under investigation.

Bogdan Burtnuk, an activist from western Ukraine who joined the occupation of City Hall in December, said he thought it was a mistake to leave before “they release and clear all our hostages,” meaning that the freed detainees possibly still faced criminal charges. The agreement to vacate the building was strongly supported by Svoboda, a nationalist political party that is at odds with more hard-line forces like Right Sector, a coalition of militant groups that has said that Mr. Yanukovych’s resignation is a condition for any political settlement.

The evacuation of the building was monitored by the Swiss ambassador in Kiev; Switzerland holds the rotating presidency of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a Vienna-based organization that is working to defuse tensions in Ukraine.

Switzerland’s foreign minister, Didier Burkhalter, said in a statement from Bern that the decision to vacate the building — which was covered in graffiti declaring it the “headquarters of the revolution” — was a “positive development,” and he urged “all sides to remain fully engaged in efforts to reach necessary compromises in a broad and inclusive political dialogue.”

But deep suspicion remained on both sides. Scores of young men in camouflage fatigues who pulled out of City Hall early Sunday later returned to the building, gathering in a militarylike formation outside and vowing to retake it if Ukraine’s prosecutor general did not sign a formal order lifting all charges.

“We do not trust them,” said the group’s commander, who identified himself only as Andriy.
