Biden to Russia: ‘Stop Supporting Men Hiding Behind Masks’

Vice President Biden To Russia: ‘Stop Supporting Men Hiding Behind Masks’ (IJReview)

Stating that the U.S. will never recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Vice President Joe Biden delivered a clear message tor Russian President Vladimir Putin during his Monday visit to Ukraine:

“Stop supporting men hiding behind masks.”

While Biden’s comments may have little impact on Putin and the Russians in the short run, it’s exactly the kind of message the Obama administration – including Barack Obama – should continue to send. Russia must be called out, as Biden said, for continuing to paying sympathizers to do its bidding in Ukraine.
