Biden also insisted saying that “Russia should stick to its international commitments and obligations”. He announced the United States will provide an additional $50 million to help Ukraine. This includes $11 million to help conduct the May 25 presidential election including voter education, administration and oversight.
Just hours after the American official visit, Ukraine’s acting President ordered security forces to resume operations in the country’s east. He motivated the action as following after the bodies of two people allegedly abducted by pro-Russia insurgents were found with signs of torture and a military aircraft was reportedly hit by gunfire. To remember, the pro-Russia insurgents have seized police stations and other public buildings in eastern Ukraine. Ordering new military operation , the President Oleksandr Turchynov said “These crimes are being done with the full support and connivance of Russia.”
