In a state of panic USA EU threaten Moscow with sanctions

In a state of panic, U.S. and EU threaten Russia with economic sanctions, while at the same time promise "benefits" in Kiev, in order to present themselves as saviors of the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin however, in a revealing interview "bared" the Western powers, proving that they have no diplomatic plan, only voracious appetites ...

Specifically, the Russian president made clear that at this time there is no need to use the Russian army in the Crimea, but stressed that "Russia has the right to use all means at its disposal to protect the Russians in the Crimea.

Moreover, he distinctly stated that he does not concern by the possibility of a war because "we will not go to war."

"Who will the Russian soldiers shoot? The Russian people?", was his reply to a question about the possibility of military conflict in the Crimea.

Right after Putin's interview, Chinese made their first official statement on the Ukrainian crisis. The country's President Shi Tzinpingk over a phone conference with Vladimir Putin stressed that the positions of the two countries for Ukraine are "nearby."

The Kremlin 's announcement notes that both leaders hope that " the steps that will be taken by the Russian leadership will enable the reduction of ( ... ) tension and ensure the safety of Russian-speaking citizens living in the Crimea and the eastern regions of Ukraine '.

On the other side, U.S. President Barack Obama, insists on maintaining a tough stance toward Russian counterpart, sharply commenting Putin's press conference and his statements about the non-use of military force in Crimea.

He specifically argued that the statements of his Russian counterpart "do not fool anyone," and warned that Moscow, with the intervention on Ukraine, threatens to weaken its position in the region.

Obama also added that he is aware of "information" under which Putin, consider various options for dealing with the Ukrainian crisis. As the American President said, the U.S. , the European Union and their allies consider that " Russia's actions violate international law ."

"I know that President Putin apparently has a different interpretation, but in my opinion his allegations do not convince anyone," he said.

In the same attitude, the U.S. Foreign Minister John Kerry during his visit to Ukraine accused Russia of seeking a "pretext" for "to be able to invade Ukraine" and warned that risks to diplomatically isolated if it continues this policy.

An Immediate and strict response came from Russia to the ongoing threats for economic sanctions imposition, request that the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Timoshenko addressed to the Westerns.

Moscow has threatened to respond by taking action in retaliation if the U.S. impose sanctions on Russia as an excuse of the Ukraine crisis.

"We need to answer," stated the spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Loukasevits . " As always in such situations, caused by hasty and irresponsible actions of Washington , we note : it is not our choice."

"We often explain to Americans why unilateral sanctions do not fit the criteria of civilized relations between states», he noted.

Loukasevits did not specify what action could be taken by Moscow in retaliation for the sanctions, but only that the Russian response would not necessarily reflect the American sanctions.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. Senate is considering taking measures, such as freezing the assets of specific persons, the halting of the military cooperation, visa ban and general economic sanctions.
