In Crimea, tension is getting higher and just as Ukraine has decided to abandon the CIS, the Commonwealth of Independent States born under the aegis of Russia after the end of the USSR, US President Barack Obama reiterates his clear condemns Russian aggression on the Peninsula, but nevertheless reassures Americans on TV that the United States they will not get "involved in any military excursion into Ukraine".
"I think that confronting Russia militarily - said the president of the United States - would not be appropriate and it would not be good for Ukraine itself either". The American president declared it in an interview granted to the Knsd network, the San Diego affiliate of NBC.
Therefore, no war is upon us but Kiev, as mentioned, is increasingly distancing itself from Moscow, according to reports from the Interfax agency, quoting the Secretary of the Council for National Security and Defense, Andriy Parubiy. "It has been decided to start the procedure for leaving the CIS," said Parubiy. The Ukrainian government – he added – has also decided to introduce a visa regime with Russia.
