Ukraine: Russia launches 'armed invasion' as Obama warns Moscow of 'costs' of intervention
Russian troops and gunmen in unmarked uniforms fan out across Crimea, seizing two airports in an apparent bid to assert dominance over the region. President Obama warns Russia there would be “costs for any military intervention.”
President Barack Obama plunged into the crisis in Ukraine last night, warning Russia there would be “costs for any military intervention” and that “any violation of Ukrainian sovereignty would be deeply destabilising”.
Speaking in an unplanned appearance at the White House, President Obama warned Russia against threatening Ukraine’s territorial integrity via Crimea.
“Any violation of Ukrainian sovereignty would be deeply destabilising, which is not in the interests of Ukraine, Russia or Europe. It would represent profound interference in the affairs of the Ukrainian people and a violation of international law,” President Obama said last night.
he forgotten treaty which could drag the US and UK into WAR with Russia if Putin's troops intervene in Ukraine
A treaty signed in 1994 by the US and Britain could pull both countries into a war to protect Ukraine if President Putin’s troops cross into the country.
Bill Clinton, John Major, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kuchma – the then-rulers of the USA, UK, Russia and Ukraine – agreed to the The Budapest Memorandum as part of the denuclearization of former Soviet republics after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Technically it means that if Russia has invaded Ukraine then it would be difficult for the US and Britain to avoid going to war.
The revelation comes as reports suggest the Kremlin was moving up to 2,000 troops across the Black Sea from Novorossiysk to their fleet base at Sevastopol.’
