William Hague warns Russia not to intervene in Ukraine

Foreign secretary says he hopes for a quick resolution to the crisis but that the situation is still fraught with many dangers

William Hague, the foreign secretary, has issued a warning to Russia not to try to undermine Ukraine's economic relations with the rest of the world after the ousting of the country's president, Viktor Yanukovych.
Hague said he hoped there would be a very quick resolution after the "horrific bloodshed" seen during the week, but that it remained an unpredictable situation fraught with many dangers.
Asked on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show whether Russia could send in tanks in an effort to maintain its influence in Ukraine, Hague said it would not be in the country's interest. "We don't know, of course, what Russia's next reaction will be," he added.
"We do know that Russia, as well as the United States, has said a few days ago that they would get behind a deal that had been made, that deal has now been overtaken by events and this is the importance of us continuing a dialogue with Russia."
He said the British government had been in regular contact with the Moscow to try to resolve the crisis since David Cameron spoke to Vladimir Putin a few days ago. Now that Yanukovych has lost control of the parliament and the capital, there are fears that Russia may attempt to promote separatist movements in Crimea, which is largely ethnically Russian.

Wise advice. You should take it. Maybe after a few years of doing it, normal people here, and around you in the real world would stop laughing at you, and not treat you as that "special" guy that they have to hide the truth from.

You have become the second biggest idiot on the forum, and that is a very difficult accomplishment.

Congrats.

Russian police officers arrest Nadezhda Tolokonnikova (right) and Maria Alekhina (left), from the punk band Pussy Riot, during an anti-Putin demonstration in central Moscow. It is the first sign of how the hardline Russian president will respond to demonstrations against him since his Ukranian ally Viktor Yanukovych was toppled last week by protesters in Kiev

Police detained dozens of people protesting against the trial of anti- Vladimir Putin campaigners today. Many, including this woman, wore badges marked 6 May in the Russian alphabet, a reference to previous protests calling for Putin to be denied office over allegations he rigged his last presidential election. Some of the people found guilty of being ringleaders of the protests on 6 May 2012 were being sentenced at the court where today's demonstrations took place

Maybe Obumbles should threaten them with a Red Line not to cross. That'll show em'.

Russia would have warned the US not to elect Obama 6 years ago but Putin was too busy laughing.


Putin will do whatever he wants and no one will do shit. His objective is a wide-ranging sphere of Soviet influence and that doesn't bode well for Ukrainians who lean Westward and desire a free society.

Don't even try to take #1 from me! It's a badge of honor! These guys are wrong about everything so it pretty much guarantees you are intelligent and successful in life! I will have to step up my game to keep it, I can feel you catching up!

In Sevastopol, home of Russia's Black Sea fleet, thousands of people turned out to oppose the new government. Protesters were seen holding up signs reading "Russia, we are your abandoned children, we ask you to help in our fight against fascism".

Some of these 'revolutionaries' have dubious resumes'. How about the leader of the Right Sector who is going around Kiev with an AK-47 promising to fight jews, communists and Russians until the day he dies. Or the leader of Svoboda who spends his time
giving Nazi salutes, marching to remember Nazi war criminals and hanging around with John McCain.

Since the more industrial east of the country is majority Russian by ethnicity
and language, I suspect in the long term the country will fracture.

I hear ya NB. My grandfather fled Kiev when he was 14. Never saw his mother again. I posted more of the story in another thread on Saturday.

yep, Putin is obviously scared shitless, look how he changed his behavior

time to put him on "double secret probation", that oughta work

or maybe we can have Congress pass a resolution that be saying "if youse don't be behaving, we going to be telling people youse be bad people". That way, he'll know we're serious and he'll know we're united






how hard do you think Putin laughs at us today? He and the Iranian and Syrian leaders must have some great stories to tell when spending the money we give to them on some extravagant party

I'd say Putin laughs at us today, just like he and Russia did in 2008, when W warned him to stay out of Georgia. Just Wrong Way being Wrong again. And throwing in his stupid ebonics again, to demonstrate his racism, in addition to stupidity.

Don't really think the Ruskies would allow that since the majority of the producing oil fields are located in the Carpathien Foldbelt which is in Western Ukraine.

Note:
You simply can not, are totally unable, to respond of any criticism of Obama without injecting Bush.

You are pathetic.
