The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved a document which strongly condemns Moscows actions against its neighbors, calling them a policy of aggression. Passed with 411-10 votes, the resolution slams Russia’s “continuing political, economic, and military aggression” against Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova and the “continuing violation of their sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.” The US, Europe and our allies must aggressively keep the pressure on Mr. Putin to encourage him to change his behavior, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, the resolutions sponsor, said. The resolution calls for Russia to stop supporting local militias in eastern Ukraine and for the cancellation of Crimea’s decision to join Russia. In addition, it calls on Moscow to withdraw its troops which the US claims are in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. The House calls on President Barack Obama to provide Ukraine with defense equipment and training.
