The G-8(-1) is clearly concerned about the fall-out from this weekend’s referendum in Crimea and in its strngest language yet is condemning (and threatening) Russia:
*G-7 CALLS ON RUSSIA TO ‘DE-ESCALATE THE CONFLICT IN CRIMEA’
*RUSSIA ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA WOULD VIOLATE UN CHARTER: G-7
*G-7 CALLS ON RUSSIA TO HALT SUPPORT FOR CRIMEA REFERENDUM
*G-7 SAYS WILL NOT RECOGNIZE RESULT OF CRIMEA REFERENDUM
*’CEASE EFFORTS TO CHANGE’ STATUS OF CRIMEA, G-7 TELLS RUSSIA
*G-7 SAYS ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA WOULD HAVE ‘GRAVE CONSEQUENCES’
Then, after the threats, calls on Russia to let observers into the country and enter into talks with the Ukrainian government (which has already appeared to give up on Crimea). This comes as Ukraine’s PM visits Obama in D.C.
