Biden’s message to Kyiv
The Obama administration sent Vice-President Joe Biden on yet another trip to Ukraine (his fifth as vice-president and his fourth since the Euro-Maidan) to reassure Kyiv that the U.S. stands with the people of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. The trip was meant “to provide a strong signal of our support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s continued military intervention and support for separatism in the Donbas,” a senior U.S. administration official told the press on December 2. Furthermore, that official, speaking in a background briefing, sought to make it clear that events in the Mideast have not changed the U.S. commitment to Ukraine. “Nothing in our conversations with Syria impact our assessment that Russia continues to be the aggressor in Ukraine; that they continue to violate their obligations under the Minsk Agreement; that they continue to encourage the separatists, or at least not prevent the separatists from also violating their obligations under the Minsk Agreement.” It was also reiterated that sanctions will not be relaxed until Russia implements the provisions of the Minsk agreements.
