Amb. Haley: US wants better relations with Russia, but situation in eastern Ukraine demands clear, strong condemnation of Russian actions.

BREAKING: Amb. Haley: Crimea-related sanctions "will remain in place until Russia returns control over the peninsula to Ukraine."

The people of Crimea made their choice to return to Russia after the long separation caused by a decree in 1954.

that "referendum" was riddled with fraud. Every country in the world denounced it.

@realDonaldTrump @nikkihaley <<< Her words protect fascists, antisemitism, and ISIL!

Nikki is just repeating what she has been told to say, a ploy

Russia has been bending over backwards to create a peaceful end to this situation. The regime in Kiev however have not.

Your propaganda is showing.

The only propganda was the Cold War which ended up with communism ending and the Russian Federation began.

Exactly so WT. The Russian Federation, thanks mainly to Vladimir Putin is a compassionate capitalist grouping.

I agree, and I hope for Ukraine to be free again but under Russian rule would be the way!

This is neither the intention nor beneficial to any side WT. Russia doesn't need such a poisoned chalice.

Ukraine is the poisoned chalice! The antidote would be Russian rulership over Ukraine.

No. Russia is better off without such a malignant beast always gnawing at her belly WT.

They're on their own soil, Russia needs to GTF out.

Russia doing v. little but honest broker in Ukraine crisis, attempting diplomatic help for the victims of Kiev.

Honest broker? GTF out and there's no more problem. GET OUT!

You are not right in what you are saying Jarvina. The Kiev regime is totally criminals. many innocents killed.

Get out. The Ukrainian people don't want Russia's so-called "help". Get out.
