In the United States Congress adopted a resolution urging Obama to send weapons to Ukraine. In addition, this document is Advisory in nature and are not binding.
The house of representatives of the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution 162 "Appeal to the President to ensure Ukraine's military support to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity". The resolution is not mandatory, but Advisory in nature.
This document, the members of the lower house of the legislative Assembly of complete majority (348 congressmen in favor, 48 against) urged President Barack Obama to send to Kiev lethal weapons of a defensive nature, informs . "A sovereign, democratic and prosperous Ukraine is responsible to the state interests of America", - quotes the text of the document Associated Press.
Of course justifying the adoption of a similar document, congressmen once again Express completely unproven conjectures about what is happening in the East of Ukraine. The authors of the resolution the blame for the current crisis in the Donbas is not the first time laid exclusively on the Russian Federation, but they did not mention the fact that the majority of refugees are in the area of Russia.
Together with this 1 of the authors of the text of the resolution, the adherent of the Republican party ed Royce stressed that if America would ignore the opportunity to give a chance to the Ukrainians to defend themselves, then the whole world will get the signal that the United States is not ready to support a world order that emerged after the Second world war. And that politician, co-author of the document from the Democratic party, Eliot Engel focused attention on the fact that Kiev is not counting on the American troops, but wants to find a weapon to personally protect their own territory and autonomy.
Note that American policy is not the first time close my own nechesnoe "game" deafening words about protecting the sovereignty and democracy. Going with the United States, many European countries for military incident in the Donbas has provided military aid to Ukrain. The case, for example, about the Czech Republic and Lithuania.
In conjunction with this Washington previously stressed 320 million dollars in military support of Ukraine. To this day the delivery was limited to non-lethal weapons, however, these measures proved futile in resolving the situation.
In addition, many European powers oppose the export of weapons of Kiev. Among them Germany, France, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Hungary and Poland. And the White house are sitting on the fence on this issue. The administration of the President believes that, at first, must see, will lead to the desired results of the agreement concluded in Minsk.
