American senators demand from Obama to arm Ukraine
9/1/2014 11:19:26 AM
US senators urge Obama to deliver arms to Ukraine to enable them to fight against the Russian invasion.
Robert Menendez, the head of the senate committee on foreign relations, said Putin should pay for the aggression. Senator John McCain pointed out that it is not a Russian intervention but a military invasion.
Menendez said: "We should be providing the Ukrainians with the type of defensive weapons that will impose a cost upon Putin for further aggression".
"This is no longer the question of some rebel separatists, this is a direct invasion by Russia. And we must recognize it as that", said the senator.
According to him, the issue of supplying weapons to Ukraine "may well be on the table" of Obama. McCain said in an interview Putin was a KGB colonel who wants to restore the Russian empire.
McCain demanded to impose strict sanctions on Russia, and added that it is necessary to deliver arms to Ukraine: "Give them the weapons they need. Give them the wherewithal they need. Give them the ability to fight".
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, there are reports of a first military confrontation at sea. Ukraine said its naval boat had been shelled from the shore in the Azov Sea .
According to witnesses, they saw smoke on horizon, and another Ukrainian ship was shot at, as well.
On the road between Dnepropetrovsk and Mariupol, journalists saw Ukrainian army units, clearly increasing their presence in the region to protect the city from attack by pro-Russian separatists.
Approximately 20 Grad rocket launchers, armoured vehicles, weapons and soldiers have also been sent to Mariupol for defence of the city.
Troops and local residents have been digging trenches, and on the roads, huge barriers to prevent the passage of Russian tanks have been installed.
