Ukraine’s Prime Minister calls the US to invest in Ukraine to defeat Putin (Video)

In the framework of his visit to the United States, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk gave interview to the CNN, making clear statement that Putin have to be stopped by the free world, until he gets the whole Ukraine, and there are other mechanisms to achieve this apart from military support.

“Putin is fighting not just with Ukraine, he’s fighting with the entire free world, he’s fighting with the United States and the European Union, and I truly commend the efforts that have been taken by the G7 states and this very strong and bold statement”, Mr. Yatsenyuk said. “But the thing is that Putin never plays by the rules, he plays with the rules. And we did a lot in order to deescalate the situation. Ukraine is like a bullet-proof weapon for the European Union, we ask for the defensive weapon, in order to deter Russian army.”

“More than 10,000 Russian military boots are on the Ukrainian soil and in addition about 30,000 Russian-led terrorists trained by Russian FSB [the Russian Federal Security Service] and Russian army.”

“Putin wants the entire Ukraine, and this is up to the free world to deter Russia, to stop this Russian-led aggression and to make Russia to pay the price and to obey the international law and order. Putin expected to split the EU. He hasn’t succeeded yet. This could happen, but I strongly believe that that the EU sticks to the value, but not to value.”

“We don’t expect to have [US] military boots on [Ukrainian] ground, we expect to have your business shoes on Ukrainian ground. American business is to invest into Ukraine to show Ukraine is successful and flourishing European state, supported by the United States.”
