FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda US President Barack Obama has invited the head of Ukraine’s new government, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, to the White House to discuss the exacerbating crisis in the country.
Ukraine’s interim Prime Minister will be at the White House Wednesday to talk about Russia’s military build-up in Crimea as well as the prospects for Washington’s economic support for Ukraine, Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken said Sunday.
Inviting Yatsenyuk to the White House is “to further demonstrate that support and to consult with him,” Blinken said on NBC’s Meet the Press.
He went on to say that the meeting was the latest move by the White House following its attempts to cooperate with European allies and assemble a package of economic sanctions against Russia.
“All of that is exacting a real cost and a real consequence,” Blinken said.
“The visit will highlight the strong support of the United States for the people of Ukraine, who have demonstrated inspiring courage and resilience through recent times of crisis,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney
“The President and Prime Minister Yatsenyuk will discuss how to find a peaceful resolution to Russia’s ongoing military intervention in Crimea that would respect Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he added.
Tensions between the US and Russia have intensified over the unabated crisis in Ukraine.
On Thursday, Obama signed an executive order to impose sanctions against Russian individuals whom the White House said are “responsible for or complicit in threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
Washington has also sent US fighter jets to allied countries located near Ukraine. Meanwhile, a US Navy guided-missile destroyer has crossed Turkey’s Bosphorus Strait and entered the Black Sea.
On Saturday, Obama warned of possible new measures against Russia if Moscow fails to defuse the crisis.
The Pentagon has suspended military ties with Russia, including joint maneuvers and port visits over the Ukraine crisis that erupted in November 2013 after the country’s ousted president, Viktor Yanukovych, refrained from signing the Association Agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia.
On February 23, the Ukrainian parliament ousted Yanukovych and named anti-Kremlin Oleksandr Turchynov, the legislature’s newly-elected speaker, as interim president.
On Thursday, the parliament of Crimea voted to split from Ukraine and become part of Russia, calling a referendum in 10 days to validate its decision.
However, Blinken has said that the US will not recognize “the annexation of Crimea by Russia” even if residents of the autonomous region vote to separate from Ukraine in the planned referendum.
