German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday’s secession referendum in Crimea is unconstitutional and Russia’s presence in the Black Sea peninsula violates the Ukraine’s territorial integrity. In America, before and after Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk met U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday in a White House , the support for Kiev’s new embattled leader is clearly expressed. “We will continue to say to the Russian government that if it continues on the path that it is on, then not only us but the international community (…) will be forced to apply a cost to Russia’s violations of international law, (…) There is another path available, and we hope that President Putin is willing seize that path.”, the President Obama told to the media Wednesday.
In fact, at this moment, armed men have effectively isolated the Crimean Peninsula, which has an ethnic Russian majority, from the rest of Ukraine. Moscow continues to consider the events that led to Yanukovych’s ouster as an illegitimate coup and Putin said his government has the right to protect ethnic Russians living there.
The G7 ,the world’s leading industrial powers, called on Russia to “cease all efforts to change the status of Crimea contrary to Ukrainian law and in violation of international law.” The international community is in the attempt. Even some steps are predictable, no one can certainly describe what will be the future in the region.
