The West Won’t Help

Lesson Brief TSN Ukraine
On Friday the U.S. Congress unanimously passed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act that gives U.S. president Barack Obama the ability to impose deeper sanctions on Russia, specifically "Gazprom" and "Rusoboronexport." The act also gives $350 million in support to the Ukrainian military, including the possibility lethal aid. However, it remains to be seen if any lethal aid will be sent to Ukraine, as many think it could provoke Russian retaliation and an escalation of the crisis in the east of the country.
