Joe Biden is meeting with the illegal Junta in Kiev today. A confab of Nazis plotting how to bring down Russia. KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. Vice President Joe Biden criticized Russia on Friday for its role in eastern Ukraine, urging Moscow to uphold a cease-fire in the war-torn region as he visited Kiev on the anniversary of the countrys anti-government protests. Ukraine is not a part of Russia. Touring the Ukrainian capital, Biden said Western sanctions against Russia would not be lifted until Moscow does more to enforce the cease-fire. Over 900 people have been killed and fighting has continued in eastern Ukraine since a truce began in September, and the conflict has claimed at least 4,300 lives since April, according to the U.N. Moscow cannot control Kiev, who violated the Sept. 5 Minsk ceasefire agreement. If Russia were to fulfill these commitments and respect Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, we could begin a rational discussion about sanctions, Biden said. But thats not what has happened. Instead weve seen more provocative actions, more blatant disregard for the agreement ... And as long as that continues, Russia will face rising cost and greater isolation. What provocative actions? Those 32 Russian tanks and columns of troops were just another fantasy by Kiev. Biden stopped short of announcing that the United States would provide lethal military aid to Ukraine, an idea floated by an adviser to President Barack Obama. The United States has given Ukraine $53 million in non-lethal aid. Lethal aid will come soon because the West wants war with Russia, pure and simple. And Putin wont be a poodle. hosted2.ap.org/OHCOL/8ef5320729ce4298abefc1903704c7d5/Article_2014-11-21-EU--Ukraine-Biden/id-186e6ea8c4724c89a4deef93346519e7
