ukraine, conflict breaks out once again. very seriously and what does the u.s. do? first the state department comes out with kind of a quiet little statement about we hope it quiets down, both sides should pay attention, try to solve this. so not much of anything. the next day nikki haley the u.s. representative to the ut nationed comes out as you noted and criticized, actually condemned russia for the violence, said that they called for an end to the occupation of crimea. and she also said that sanctions won t end until russia returns crimea to ukraine. that s very strong stuff. and then tonight, we have the statement from the white house on the conversation between president trump and president boris schennco of ukraine. there again we have let s all get along, let s work together
suddenly ukraine would have welcomed those comments from nikki haley the ut nationed condemning the action. she essentially blamed russia for the escalation and violence. that s something that ukraine has been doing all this week. it s interesting to note the difference in the two statements that we got on that call last night from the u.s. side and from the ukrainian side. the u.s. side was basically let s all get along. the u.s. wants to work with all sides in the ukrainian conflict but as for the ukrainian side we got more detail. apparently the two leaders expressed deep concerns this is from the statement about the spike in tension and deterioration of the humanitarian situation especially in the area specifically to the government held side of the current conflict that we re seeing there and he did also say the statement that s from the spokesman from the president of ukraine that they expressed deep gratitude for its firm support of ukraine s sovereignty and territorial integrit
