Obama urges Putin to withdraw from the Ukrainian border
President of the United States believes that it is necessary for the speedy resolution of the crisis. Speaking in Rome, host of "Evening News" on CBS, Scott Pelley, said that Russia should take steps to alleviate the tension around Ukraine.
"It is well known and widely accepted that this border under the cover of military exercises shrink. However, it is unusual for the Russian behavior. Maybe it's just an attempt to intimidate Ukraine and, possibly, they also have some other plans, "- said Obama.
For immediate resolution of the crisis and defuse tensions Russia, according to Obama, "must withdraw its troops from the border and enter into direct negotiations with the Ukrainian government and the international community».
According to Obama, Russian President Putin "willingly showed deep regret over what he considers the loss of the Soviet Union».
"It would be logical to assume that after a couple of decades any Russian leader would have to understand that the way forward is not through a return to methods that are so widely used during the Cold War, and through further integration into the world economy and the manifestation of himself as a responsible member of the world community "- said Obama.
According to him, Putin said the collapse of the Soviet Union "a tragedy».
"We see from him a powerful nationalism and the belief that the West in the past in some way Russia used to their advantage, and now he wants to somehow compensate for this," - said the US president.
"I have repeatedly said that he may be absolutely wrong to perceive the West" - continued Obama. "He certainly misinterprets US foreign policy. We are not interested in, to surround Russia and Ukraine, we are interested only to the Ukrainian people make their own decisions about their own lives, "- said Obama.
"We do not accept the idea that along the Russian border there is a sphere of influence that justifies the invasion of Russia in other countries. Of course, they have such an influence in Ukraine in connection with the trade ties, traditions, language, cultural heritage. All this is recognized. But there is a difference between such influence and in order to send their troops, just because you're bigger and stronger, to capture part of another country. This is not in line with international legal norms in force in the XXI century, "- said Obama.
In response to a question about the reaction of NATO and that is not lost if the alliance its power, Obama stressed that the question of how to act as a powerful counterweight to Putin's Russia should solve all NATO members, including Germany, Britain and other countries .
Since 1989 in Europe were derived 85% of American troops. Previously, there were stationed 400,000 US troops, and now - around 50 000.
Obama avoided a direct answer to the question of what made the United States, if Russia continues to advance deep into the territory of Ukraine, but said that in this case, followed by new economic sanctions, not only from the US but also by the entire international community. < br />
