The United States will not lift sanctions on Russia until President Vladimir Putin hands Crimea back to Ukraine, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said late Sunday.
During a phone call with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Tillerson said the sanctions—which have crippled Russia’s economy and pushed down the value of the ruble—will “ remain in place until Russia returns control of the Crimean peninsula to Ukraine.”
He also said that Moscow must honor the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine that was outlined in the Minsk agreements, according to a State Department official.

Oh yeah, the Ukraine was a coup, the Russian Rebels did not shoot down the airliner, the attacks in Syria are false flags.
We always get the truth from a country where there is no freedom of the press.
And now, Youtube videos will tell us the truth, and those gullible are the ones who search through all the news including western news? It’s just too much.
Let’s believe Putin, KGB agent to $70 billion dollar man. Now that sounds trustworthy.
Believe what the ruling class of Russia says, heck, now they can’t even find any proof of the existence of the alleged St. Petersburg bomber.
And that is from the Russian press itself.
Next time, perhaps folks can try to insult our intelligence.
We decide for them?
He does the best he can with his limited resources is true. That said, Russia needs to leave all of Ukraine, including Crimea.
So the Mexicans in California get to secede? Nope. Russia and Ukraine signed a treaty in 1997 agreeing to borders. Now Russia breaks the treaty and invades a foreign nation. This should not be rewarded.

That was after the U.S. ilegally supported a government takeover by anti russians.
How can the U.S. demand Russia abide by the law just after triggering the conflict by breaking the law?
You don’t see the difference between Trump and Obama? If so, I assume its because you’re too fond of putin.
putin placates Islamists and supports the mad mullahs in Iran, Hezbollah, and asshat in Syria.
putin’s press started running very anti-Trump themed crap, like the one you sited. Yet his fan base who claimed to like Trump are oblivious and favoring putin over Trump. I get it that they favor and trust putin over America, but I thought these folks were for Trump.
I can tell you for a fact we’re not sending any weapons to Ukraine, but we should be.
How do you feel about putin arming the Taliban? No doubt you favor that.
and then there is that.
I’ll bet you say the Russian Rebels didn’t shoot down an airliner, I’ll bet you say there were false flags in Syria. It’s always someone else’s faults, never Russia, let’s believe them, they don’t have a free press.
Most of these putinista posters are consistent in only two areas. One, they believe whatever putin fake news propagandist tell them. Two, they don’t believe anyone else. On other obvious observations, they oppose globalism, unless it’s globalism for putin. They oppose empire, unless it’s empire under putin’s control. Ukrainians are all Nazis, and putin is a paladin of Christianity. His alliance with the mad mullahs of Iran, asshat, and Hezbollah prove he’s pro-Christian, in their minds.
If they are killing ISIS ( which is what they are doing) then I say go for it
If it leads to a regional force to stop ISIS then we can bring home our troops
If we are not going to destroy the poppy fields then let Russia work out the best deal with the best party to control the trade because we’re not
After all, whose countries border Afghanistan?
Not ours
How many tours have you served in Afghanistsn?
Some of our troops are on their 3 rd or 4th
That is a complete lie. There is no excuse for Russians to invade their neighbors as they do all too often. After the Holomodor Ukrainians don’t much care for Russians.
But it was rewarded in Serbia.
Islam in Russia is at 4-6%. We might be higher here.
Russia is also a Christian nation. Have you been there? Orthodox churches on every corner in Moscow it seems.
I know that Putin is a bully and I was furious when he bombed Georgia. My friends there still say he is evil. However your comments about Russia are incorrect and the people of Russia, of whom I know many, are generally the kindest and most gracious people I have met in the world.
