On the Russian media. The second oldest profession

I do not know whether it is broadcast, but then, as the statements of foreign leaders, then we can estimate:

Obama "has made it clear that we are ready to work with Russia." "We understand that Russia has interests in Crimea. Ukrainian government is ready to respect the agreement on the basis of (Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea. - Hereinafter approx. Correspondent. ITAR-TASS). And we are ready to act with the Russians against all bullies, gang tricks to create stability in Ukraine and let the Ukrainian people make their choices about the future ", - said Kerry.

In the original:

The United States condemns the Russian Federation's invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory, and its violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity in full contravention of Russia's obligations under the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, its 1997 military basing agreement with Ukraine, and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. This action is a threat to the peace and security of Ukraine, and the wider region.

As President Obama has said, we call for Russia to withdraw its forces back to bases, refrain from interference elsewhere in Ukraine, and support international mediation to address any legitimate issues regarding the protection of minority rights or security.

From day one, we've made clear that we recognize and respect Russia's ties to Ukraine and its concerns about treatment of ethnic Russians. But these concerns can and must be addressed in a way that does not violate Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, by directly engaging the Government of Ukraine.

Damn.
