MOSCOW (WNB) - Vladimir Putin responded on Friday to President Obama's warning to Russia not to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
"With all respect to Mr. Obama, it would be helpful for myself and my country to know the boundary the United States requires us to maintain, so we can be careful to try and not cross it," a smirking Putin said in the brief televised address.
While Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi congratulated President Obama on his "forceful control" of the dangerous situation, others on Capitol Hill are concerned that Putin was actually mocking his American counterpart, as Russian forces rapidly asserted uncontested control over Ukraine's borders and transportation hubs.
