The White House: Readout of telephone call between President Obama and PM Cameron of the UK, " The President and Prime Minister Cameron of the United Kingdom spoke today regarding their deep concern about the situation in eastern Ukraine. The President commended the government of Ukraine’s approach to today’s discussions in Geneva, where it put forward constructive proposals to expand local governance and ensure the rights of all Ukrainians are protected. The leaders stressed that Russia needs to take immediate, concrete actions to de-escalate the situation in eastern Ukraine, including by using its influence over the irregular forces in eastern Ukraine to get them to lay down their arms and leave the buildings they have seized. As the President has said, we will look for the Russians to quickly follow through on their commitments in Geneva in this regard. The President and the Prime Minister agreed that the United States and Europe are prepared to take further measures to impose costs on Russia if this de-escalation does not occur in short order. ".
Lets Get Real:
The EU main players, Germany, France and the UK, have to take action if Russia fails to get its supporters to leave the buildings they hold in East Ukraine, the EU could forbid EU companies from doing business in Russia, also freeze the assets of rich Russians who have residence in the EU. The Putin Regime can be bought down, the EU and the US have to have the backbone to get REAL, take the economic pain and force Putin to face the results of his actions, otherwise the EU and NATO will have to safeguard its Eastern Allies with troops.
