ice President Joe Biden urged Russia to pull its forces back from Ukraine in a phone call on Monday with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the White House said.
"The Vice President urged Russia to pull back its forces, support the immediate deployment of international monitors to Ukraine, and begin a meaningful political dialogue with the Ukrainian government," the White House said in a statement released later on Monday.

“Stand up, Dimitri!”
Problem solved.
Moe and Curly had more meaningful dialogue.
Loose cannon Biden: A day late and a dollar short.
“It was later learned that VP Biden used exactly the same text that Prime Minister Chamberlain used in urging Adolph Hitler to pull back from the Sudetenland”
Git a shotgun!!!
I am sure comedy ensued
Obama, Biden and the West can “urge” all they want to, but Russia has the upper hand here and Obama would be a fool to drag us into a war with Russia.

Putin is using gunboat diplomacy. Obama and Biden are using telephone diplomacy. Guess who’s going to walk away with all the marbles.
Putin has nothing to gain by pulling back and nothing to lose by staying.
He’ll stay. We’ll be re-drawing our maps because he’s staying. Ukraine will have to decide if they are prepared to shed blood to reclaim it and I doubt that they will. That makes it a done deal.
Obama will vent his wrath on Netanyahu who is also making his calculations. He sees right through Obama and has from the beginning. Putin is letting the rest of the world see through him too. I’m thinking as bad as this is for Ukraine, this is good for Israel.
Biden with his intellectual equal. lol
I don’t see a satire tag. Mores the pity.
Yes, Moochelle, I too am ashamed of my country. But in my case it is because I love my country.
Wonder if he said it was a big F’n deal?
These maps have been drawn and redrawn many times throughout history with many entities holding interests. The key is allowing the natives to settle their differences without too much bloodshed. All too often, the criminals seize upon a chaotic situation and violence escalates. A true statesman would focus on that rather than a pissing contest.
It’s very hard for narcissistic amateurs to do much now, though.
Joe THE JOKE”S ON Biden phone-a-friend when he doesn’t have a clue?
Joe, no doubt, threatened the Russian with the Delaware National Guard.
