The United States spoke out boldly Wednesday on the topic of halting the escalating political violence in Ukraine, but analysts hold different opinions, warning that there was little that outside pressure could do, especially if the Ukrainian military gets involved.
President Barack Obama condemned the unrest that killed 26 on Tuesday and began to spread passed the Ukrainian Capital, Kiev, by Wednesday. Protesters were reported to even seize control of government buildings, thus sparking an almost inevitable urge for their military to want to take action.
Nevertheless, Obama has warned the government to show restraint against peaceful protesters, and stay cautious of the consequences of excessive action. By allegedly saying the Ukrainian military should stay out of it as it has done so far.
Shortly after the Ukraine's president and the opposition leaders agreed to a truce and to talk out an agreement.
nd to fresh talks.Obama stated that he hoped this development will "provide space for the sides to resolve their disagreements peacefully."
He insisted that Ukraine isn't a pawn on some "Cold War chessboard" with Russia, Obama said that he hopes a unity government will be formed to pave the way for "fair and free elections."
"The situation that happened in Ukraine has to do with whether or not the people ... can determine their own destiny," he said.
Later on the United States issued visa bans for 20 senior members of the Ukraine, responsible for the crack down in Kiev, or just affiliated with the government.
The president of the council on foreign relations, Richard Haass state his opinion by saying that the main question would come down to whether the government would support the Ukraine by assisting the military or assist the protestors by staying in the barracks (remaining uninvolved).
In the concluding perspective, the American government is stuck with the capability to help an ally to restore order to their system or help the opposing force by remaining neutral, but regardless of choice the possibility of and enemy is possible. The consequences remain complex but differ on however the debate between the sides conclude.
