U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, blamed Russia on Thursday for the recent surge of violence in eastern Ukraine and warned Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia will not be lifted until Moscow returns Crimea to Kiev.
I consider it unfortunate on the occasion of my first appearance here I must condemn the aggressive actions of Russia, Haley said, making her first public remarks inside the Security Council since being sworn in as the United States representative to the United Nations last month.
It shouldnt happen, or be that way. We do want to better our relations with Russia. However, the dire situation in eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of Russian actions.
Her remarks came amid speculation over new U.S. President Donald Trumps intentions towards Moscow. Trump has praised Russias President Vladimir Putin and expressed a wish for improved relations between the two countries.

(4,428 posts)How many times have the Russians made disapproving noises about something they were in reality completely responsible for? Many.
Haley's role is to give cover to the White House. Nothing else.
