US Congress approves $1 bn aid for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia

Obama calls for trans-Atlantic unity to isolate Russia

BRUSSELS, Belgium — US President Barack Obama made a rallying call Wednesday for countries around the world to defend the international order, which he says has been profoundly challenged by Russia’s annexation of Crimea and ongoing threat to the rest of Ukraine.

“Russia’s violation of international law, its assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, must be met with condemnation, not because we’re trying to keep Russia down, but because the principles that have meant so much to Europe and the world must be lifted up,” he said in a speech that was the main focus of his visit to Europe this week.

“So long as we remain united, the Russian people will recognize that they cannot achieve the security, prosperity and the status that they seek through brute force,” he insisted.

The address to Brussels’ diplomatic and political elite and selected European youngsters came at the end of a packed day of meetings with leading European Union and NATO officials in which the Ukraine crisis dominated.

Obama offered assurances to Poland, the Baltic states and other worried nations along NATO’s eastern frontiers that the United States and other members of the Atlantic alliance would defend them from any threat of spillover from Ukraine.

He repeatedly underscored the significance of Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty, which states that all 28 allies will come to the aid of any member under attack.

“What we will do always is uphold our solemn obligation, our Article 5 duty, to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our allies,” Obama said. “And in that promise we will never waver. NATO nations never stand alone.”

The alliance is planning to strengthen its eastern borders beyond the extra troops and warplanes already deployed in Poland and the Baltic states, Obama revealed. He did not specify how the eastern allies would be reinforced, but NATO officials said details were being worked out ahead of a meeting of alliance foreign ministers next week.

Obama also called on European allies to reverse a trend of falling defense budgets that has weakened NATO in recent years. The events in Ukraine showed that all allies must “step up” and share the burden of Europe’s collective defense, Obama said. “The situation in Ukraine reminds us our freedom isn’t free,” he told a news conference at EU headquarters ahead of his speech.

The invasion of Crimea and the massing of Russian troops on Ukraine’s eastern borders has raised tensions in Europe to levels not seen since the fall of the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, Obama insisted it is not the start of a new Cold War, not least because Russia lacks the Soviet Union’s global reach.

“After all, unlike the Soviet Union, Russia leads no bloc of nations, no global ideology,” he said.

In a speech that drew cheers and a standing ovation from a crowd that included Belgium’s King Philippe and Queen Matilda, Prime Minister Elio di Rupo and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, Obama reached deep into history to recall the ties that bind Europe to the United States.

Earlier on Wednesday, he accompanied the monarch on a visit to the graves of US soldiers who died in World War I, which broke out 100 years ago this year.

Obama said the experience of that war and other 20th-century conflicts show the United States and its allies can’t ignore the Ukraine crisis even though it may seem remote to many Americans and Western Europeans.

“Casual indifference would ignore the lessons that are written in the cemeteries of this continent,” Obama said. “It would allow the old way of doing things to regain a foothold in this young century. And that message would be heard, not just in Europe, but in Asia and the Americas, in Africa and the Middle East.”

He refuted Russian accusations of Western hypocrisy over Crimea by denying any similarity to Kosovo’s break from Serbia or the US-led war in Iraq. The United States, the president insisted, has no claims on Ukraine beyond letting its people choose their own future.

Obama’s tough words were echoed by NATO’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who issued a warning against Russia meddling with members of the alliance.

“NATO is a force for peace, but also unmatched militarily,” Fogh Rasmussen said after meeting Obama. “We do not seek confrontation but we will not waiver if challenged.”

Still, Obama ruled out a military response if Russia launches further attacks on Ukraine, which is not a NATO member. Instead he said the US and Europe would respond with stinging economic sanctions and insisted that the allies were united on that.

“If the Russian leadership stays on its current course, together, we will ensure that this isolation deepens,” a grim-faced Obama told the crowd. “Sanctions will expand and the toll on Russia’s economy, as well as [on] its standing in the world, will only increase.”

However, there are divisions among NATO allies about how far to go in punishing Russia. Some, including the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Italy, are urging caution because of fear of provoking Russia and concerns about the impact sanctions will have on their economies.

Even the EU’s big hitters — Germany, France and Britain — have major economic concerns even though their leaders have taken a more hawkish line as Russian President Vladimir Putin has cranked up military pressure on Ukraine.

Obama and EU leaders said their energy ministers would be meeting next week to discuss weakening Moscow’s economic influence over Europe. Among the topics will be relaxing restrictions on American gas exports to reduce reliance on Russian fuel sales.

Obama said that regardless of Russia’s short-term military gains, the ideas supported by Ukraine’s pro-Western demonstrators would eventually prevail.

“If we hold firm to our principles and are willing to back our beliefs with courage and resolve,” he concluded, “then hope will ultimately overcome fear and freedom will continue to triumph over tyranny.”

US Lawmakers Fight Russia on Twitter: "I Guess This Means My Spring Break in Siberia Is Off"

US Lawmakers Fight Russia on Twitter: "I Guess This Means My Spring Break in Siberia Is Off"
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Motherjones/mojoblog/~4/4ixxP0kTLhk

On Thursday, shortly after President Obama expanded sanctions against Russia for its role in the Ukraine crisis, the Russian Foreign Ministry released its own list of nine US officials and lawmakers who will be targeted by sanctions. The list includes three White House aides—deputy national security advisors Ben Rhodes and Caroline Atkinson, and senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer—as well as six US lawmakers: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)​, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)​, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio)​, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)​, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.)​, and Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.)​.

Many of the Sanctioned 9, none of whom will be allowed to visit the Russian Federation or attend Valdimir Putin’s birthday party (assuming it is held in the Russian Federation), took to Twitter to win the morning show their strength and solidarity.

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.)​

Louie Gohmert adds Palin ‘can see Russia from my house’ to the Congressional Record

Crimea Votes Overwhelmingly to Rejoin Russia; Truce Until March 21; Goodbye Hryvnia, Hello Ruble; McCain Wants Military Aid for Ukraine

Crimea returns to Russia It’s a done deal. Nothing can be done about it. An Exit poll shows Crimeans Choose to Join Russia in Vote

A majority of Crimeans chose to join Russia in a disputed referendum, exit polls showed, deepening the worst crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.

A total of 93 percent voted today in favor of leaving Ukraine to become part of Russia, the Republican Institute of Social and Political Studies said, citing exit polls from the vote in the Black Sea peninsula. The Ukrainian government, the European Union and the U.S. all consider the referendum illegal. About 1.5 million Crimean voters were eligible to take part, according to the region’s prime minister.

Goodbye Hryvnia, Hello Ruble

Crimea will switch to the Russian ruble and abandon Ukraine’s hryvnia on April 1, RIA Novosti cited Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliev as saying today.

McCain Wants Military Aid for Ukraine

The US senate’s head-warmonger, John McCain said Obama is giving “serious consideration” to sending military aid to Ukraine. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, in an ABC interview, said the U.S. should pass “crippling sanctions” on Russia and help Ukraine rebuild its armed forces.

Biden Promote US as World’s Policeman

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will travel to NATO members Poland and Lithuania tomorrow for talks on Ukraine, according to a White House statement. The Pentagon said last week it would send 12 F-16 aircraft to Poland as a sign of U.S. commitment to defend allies in the region; the U.S. previously sent six fighter jets to Lithuania.

Do US citizens support wasting tax dollars sending Aircraft to Poland? Of course not. Does McCain or the Republicans care about balancing the budget? Of course not?

Did Obama take down Guantanamo Bay, get all US troops out of Afghanistan or Iraq? Of course not.

In case you missed it, please see President Obama is the Biggest Fraud Ever Perpetrated on US Citizens (Fantastic Carey Wedler Video)

Support for war, spying, and for the US to waste money being the world’s policeman is rampant in Congress, deficits be damned. But hey, don’t worry Ukraine and Russia Agree to a 5-Day Truce.

SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Dozens of military trucks transporting heavily armed soldiers rumbled over Crimea’s rutted roads Saturday as Russia reinforced its armed presence on the disputed peninsula in the Black Sea. Moscow’s foreign minister ruled out any dialogue with Ukraine’s new authorities, whom he dismissed as the puppets of extremists.

The Russians have denied their armed forces are active in Crimea, but an Associated Press reporter trailed one military convoy Saturday afternoon from 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of Feodosia to a military airfield at Gvardeiskoe north of Simferopol, over which a Russian flag flew.

Some of the army green vehicles had Russian license plates and numbers indicating that they were from the Moscow region. Some towed mobile kitchens and what appeared to be mobile medical equipment.

Vladislav Seleznyov, a Crimean-based spokesman for the Ukrainian armed forces, told AP that witnesses had reported seeing amphibious military ships unloading around 200 military vehicles in eastern Crimea on Friday night after apparently having crossed the Straits of Kerch, which separates Crimea from Russian territory.

“Neither the equipment, nor the paratroopers have insignia that identify them as Russian, but we have no doubt as to their allegiance,” Seleznyov said.

The amphibious operation appeared to be one of the largest movements of Russian military forces since they appeared in Crimea a week ago.

Seleznyov also said a convoy of more than 60 military trucks was spotted Saturday heading from Feodosia toward Simferopol, the regional capital. An AP reporter caught up with the convoy and trailed it to Russian-controlled airfield. In the rear of the vehicles, heavily armed soldiers could be seen, though none appeared to have identifying badges or insignia. Soldiers spat at the reporters following them.

The regional parliament in Crimea has set a March 16 referendum on leaving Ukraine to join Russia, and senior lawmakers in Moscow said they would support the move, ignoring sanctions threats and warnings from President Barack Obama that the vote would violate international law.

The strategic peninsula in southern Ukraine has become the flashpoint in the battle for Ukraine, where three months of protests sent President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing to Russia. A majority of people in Crimea identify with Russia, and Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet is based in Sevastopol, as is Ukraine’s.

While the U.S. and the EU urged Russia to engage in dialogue with new Ukrainian authorities, the Kremlin has refused to do so, denouncing the change of power in Ukraine as an “unconstitutional coup.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow sees no sense in having a dialogue with Ukraine’s new authorities because, in his view, they kowtow to radical nationalists.

“The so-called interim government isn’t independent, it depends, to our great regret, on radical nationalists who have seized power with arms,” he said at a news conference. He said that nationalist groups use “intimidation and terror” to control Ukraine.

Despite that tough talk, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Grigory Karasin met Saturday with Ukrainian Ambassador Volodymyr Yelchenko, the first such diplomatic contact since the crisis began. In a terse statement, the ministry said only that they discussed issues related to Russian-Ukrainian ties in a “sincere atmosphere.”

At a news conference in Kiev, Ukraine’s new foreign minister, Andrii Deshchytsi spoke hopefully about creation of a contact group made up of foreign ministers of various countries to mediate the crisis. Forming the group was an idea discussed during meetings between Ukraine’s prime minister and European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday.

Deshchytsi said that he learned from mediators that Russia hasn’t “categorically’ refused the idea of permitting a contact group to help broker an end to the dispute.

“The Russians are thinking,” Deshchytsi said, so there is “reason to hope.” He reiterated that the new Ukrainian government understands it is vital to need to establish good relations with all neighbors, including Russia.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has said that Moscow has no intention of annexing Crimea, but that its people have the right to determine the region’s status in a referendum.

The Crimean referendum has been denounced by Ukraine’s new government, and Obama has said it would violate international law. The U.S. moved Thursday to impose its first sanctions on Russians involved in the military occupation of Crimea.

Speaking on BBC on Saturday, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that while there is no military response to the recent events of Crimea, the crisis was a reminder of threats to European security and stability.

“I do believe that politicians all over NATO will now rethink the whole thing about investment in security and defense,” he told the BBC. “Obviously, defense comes at a cost but insecurity is much more expensive.”

An international military mission composed of officers from the U.S. and 28 other nations tried again Saturday to enter Crimea, but it was turned back around the town of Armiansk by armed men.

An AP reporter traveling with the 54 observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said that after the group had stopped, the armed men fired bursts of automatic weapons fire to halt other unidentified vehicles. No injuries were reported.

In Simferopol, meanwhile, a public ceremony was held for the swearing-in of the first unit in the pro-Russia “Military Forces of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.” About 30 men armed with AK-47s, and another 20 or so unarmed, turned out. They ranged in age from teenagers to a man who looked to be about 60. They were sworn in at a park in front of an eternal flame to those killed in World War II.

Sergei Aksyonov, the Crimean prime minister, came to the ceremony and was greeted by the soldiers with shouts of “Commander!”

He said their main role, at least until the referendum, would be to “keep the peace.” He said he didn’t foresee any fighting with the Ukrainian soldiers still at bases in Crimea.

“We are not enemies with those soldiers who pledged loyalty to the Ukrainian state. They are not our enemies,” Aksyonov said. He said they would be given the chance to go safely back to Ukraine if they want.

In the week since Russia seized control of Crimea, Russian troops have been neutralizing and disarming Ukrainian military bases here. Some Ukrainian units, however, have refused to give up. Aksyonov has said pro-Russian forces numbering more than 11,000 now control all access to the region and have blockaded all military bases that haven’t yet surrendered.

On Friday evening, pro-Russia soldiers tried to take over another Ukrainian base in Sevastopol, resulting in a tense standoff ensued that lasted for several hours.

Lt. Col. Vitaly Onishchenko, deputy commander of the base, said three dozen men wearing unmarked camouflage uniforms arrived late Friday. While one group climbed over a wall on one side of the base, another crashed a heavy military truck through the gates, Onishchenko said.

He said Saturday that they turned off power, cut telephone lines and demanded that about 100 Ukrainian troops, who barricaded themselves into one of the base buildings, surrender their weapons and swear allegiance to Russia. The invaders left around midnight.

No shots were fired in and no injuries were reported.

Russia has described the troops who wear green uniforms without insignia as local “self-defense forces.” But Onishchenko said the troops who tried to overrun his base were clearly Russian.

“These were Russian servicemen specially ordered,” he said. “Their watches were set to Moscow time. They spoke with Russian accents and they didn’t hide their allegiance to the Russian Federation.”
