Ukraine crisis talks


Diplomats issued a statement on Thursday to reduce the tensions in the Ukrainian crisis. The statement called for illegal activities such as armed groups and seized buildings to be disarmed and returned to their rightful owners. The statement also urges for the violence in Ukraine to stop. The statement was issued in hopes that the violence will stop and that all Russian troops on the border of Ukraine will be removed. President Obama has also issued many statements indicating that he has told Putin to back down. The president has also signed off on allowing nonlethal aid to be delivered to the Ukraine military. The U.S. has not agreed to sending lethal aid to Ukraine because it could only worsen the crisis. The statement developed from the crisis talk will hopefully diffuse the escalating situation between Ukraine and Russia.
