why sanctions ??? ukrainian government wants traditional historical ties with Russia. Without it, Ukraine will collapse. UE doesn't need Ukraine, it will be a huge burden on the failed EU system And Ukraine doesn't need EU, but Russia. These are gangs of bandits destroying the city.

Is there anyone reading this article who truly believes that Putin is afraid of the EU or Obama? He will do what he thinks is best for Russia, while the EU will impose meaningless sanctions and Obama will once again draw a meaningless line in the sand.

Uh?? I thought antisemitic Europe was interested only to give sanctions on Jews for being Jews. Is Ukraine Jewish?
