Ukraine: Russia launches 'armed invasion' as Obama warns Moscow of 'costs' of intervention

Russian troops and gunmen in unmarked uniforms fan out across Crimea, seizing two airports in an apparent bid to assert dominance over the region. President Obama warns Russia there would be “costs for any military intervention.”

President Barack Obama plunged into the crisis in Ukraine last night, warning Russia there would be “costs for any military intervention” and that “any violation of Ukrainian sovereignty would be deeply destabilising”.

Speaking in an unplanned appearance at the White House, President Obama warned Russia against threatening Ukraine’s territorial integrity via Crimea.

“Any violation of Ukrainian sovereignty would be deeply destabilising, which is not in the interests of Ukraine, Russia or Europe. It would represent profound interference in the affairs of the Ukrainian people and a violation of international law,” President Obama said last night

Not sure what consequences that Obama is warning Russia about ... the US has few direct ties to Russia and the US isn't going to intervene militarily .. but certainly the Russian action in the Ukraine will only further destabilize other former Soviet republics.

Isn't Obama threatening not to attend a meetings.

Pussy move.

Thanks to NATO, Obama or any sitting US president is pretty much contractually obligated to say something when the Russians muck about in Eastern Europe. If anything, it reassures the Germans. For some reason they still get nervous whenever the Red Army so much as farts with in a 1000km of their eastern boarder.

Barack's all piss and wind attempt to make it look like he is a somebody.

"Barack has told President Vladimir Putin that Russia has violated international law with its incursion into Ukraine, and warned of US and allied reprisals"

Obama now God and black speaking for all including Australians, his suffering delusions of grandeur on a grand scale brought on by Holden deserting him for China.
