Hours after the Ukrainian government and pro-Russia rebels agreed to a ceasefire after five months of fighting, President Obama told reporters at the NATO Summit in Newport, Wales, today that, “Our alliance is fully united in support of Ukraine's sovereignty."
“The U.S. and Europe are finalizing measures to deepen and broaden our sanctions across Russia’s banking, energy, and defense sectors," he said.
Obama announced that all NATO allies will provide security assistance to Ukraine, including support and care for Ukrainian troops. Obama reiterated that pro-Russian separatists must keep their commitments, even as European leaders plan to intensify sanctions against the Russian government and its economy.
To apply pressure, Obama said the discussion at NATO and the international community's support of Ukraine has been "a testimony to how seriously people take the basic principle that big countries can't just stomp on little countries."

Since he usually lies...
So..... the sanctions are going to be dropped?
By looking like a retarded Neanderthal and waving at the camera.
“Duh, okay, Hi mom!”
Will? When? When the present invasion and occupation are set in place? What a joke
Are you sure he said “Deepen” not “De-pen”. He might just not write down the sanctions. As for “Broaden”, he can simply add another overpaid female spokesperson at the Department of State to make a troika with Psaki and Harf.
This must be the ‘flexibility’ Obama promised the Russians he’d have after his re-election.
Oh boy, zero will issue another strongly worded letter. If that does no good, the next one will be ALL CAPS!!
Kerry’s going to Russia to turn his back on Putin and storm out of the room... that snub should do the trick.../s
OK. No more foolin’ around. Now Putin’s buddies are not only banned from Disneyland, but Disney World too.
“... the basic principle that big countries can’t just stomp on little countries”
While Russia continues to stomp all it wants and laughs at the a$$hole Obama.
The only thing that’s “deeper and broader” is the BS this turkey is piling up.
Is that before or after pigs fly????
zero plus zero equals..
Hey, no more exports of French burgundy or brie cheese, no more Italian sausage - that’ll stop the Russian juggernaut in its tracks!
this coming from prezzie soon:
“I’m so mad I’ll throw my hankie in the air and not care where it lands!”
that’ll throw fear into ‘um.
Obama will Boycott shirtless pictures of Putin ?
I know, I know, He’s Russian so you can’t believe him, right?
Our government and our media would never lie to us, nope.
Haha, you just made me remember something about the Roosians. Back in the 80’s when we had a Soviet technical team here for certain reasons, they were asked what they would like to see while here. DISNEY LAND! So over a 3-day “vacation”, they were bused to Disney Land, and had one helluva a good time experiencing Disney Land. They were all smiles when they got back.
