The US President vowed to ratchet up pressure on Russia amid fears the fighting in eastern Europe is worsening by the day.
Barack Obama today threatened to use all measures - short of military action - to force Vladimir Putin to back down over the Ukraine crisis.
He vowed to ratchet up pressure on Russia amid fears the fighting in eastern Europe is worsening by the day.
He also warned Putin was hell-bent on engaging in military conflicts regardless of the damage it caused to Russians with its sanctions-hit economy nosediving into recession.
The US leader spoke out in India after the West blamed pro-Moscow rebels for the deaths of 30 civilians and injuries to 95 in weekend bloodshed in strategic port city Mariupol.
Russia and separatist forces claim that the Ukrainian army was responsible for the attack on civilians.
Kiev strongly denied this and alleged intercepted communications proved the weekend bloodshed was the work of terrorists who receive support in Russia.
Both the US and EU issued strong warnings to Putin, calling on him to curb the rebels.
I will look at all additional options that are available to us, short of military confrontation, and try to address this issue, said Obama.
We are deeply concerned about the latest break in the ceasefire and the aggression that these separatists - with Russian backing, Russian equipment, Russian financing, Russian training and Russian troops - are conducting.

Thanks!
Even though I made them and know that they loop...
I could still get a bowl of popcorn and watch the first one for hours.

Very, very close.
We’re now tracking along quite closely with Ezekiel.
Watch it. A couple US soldiers will he killed in Ukriane and Obama will pack up and ask for negociation and give it all like with Iran.
Putin is soooooo scared. LOL!
He is all of those things, and more, and less.
What is Reagan saluting there, America, or the KGB Colonel that is invading Ukraine?
All Obama has to do is draw a red line....we all know what happens when someone viotates THAT deadly challenge.....
Looks like the Jihadist in chief wants a war with Russia, a war that the traitor Jihadist will help the US to lose. Remember, Jihad Barry works for allah, the Saudis, and the globalist occultists.
Jihad Barry will play the role of Marshal Petain/ Pierre Laval and Putin will play Hitler.
Obama isn’t going to lift a finger to help Ukraine. He and Putin have the same goals, discrediting and weakening the US.
Could be a moot point, very soon. If reports are to be believed, DNR and LPR units have joined up north of Debltsevo, creating a surrounded pocket with 7-12,000 troops in it, that are being shelled mercilessly.
That represents around 10%+ of the Army Kiev has available to them.
They can’t take another loss like Illiovsk, and this could be x10.
So, what is he going to do?
Scratch Putin’s eyes out?
One is reminded of Sir Winston Churchill's quote on appeasers.

I am sure that VLAD THE IMPALER is just so scared
