Questions about Ukraine start at 18:50
Jen Psaki, the Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State said in the Daily Press Briefing on March 19, 2015 that pro-Russian terrorists violate the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine:
“One thing is that it’s actually the separatists who have continued to be aggressive in parts of Luhansk and Donetsk and haven’t abided by the ceasefire.”
Jen Psaki underlined that the US government sees Ukraine as a sovereign country with a sovereign government and respects the right to defend its territory:
“We continue to believe that the Ukrainians, as a sovereign country and a sovereign government, have the ability to defend their own country, of which those parts of the country remain a part of Ukraine.”
