<p>Russia’s actions in Ukraine have deliberately violated a number of international
agreements and commitments including the 1997 Russia-Ukraine Treaty of Friendship.
We continue to work with international partners to support Ukraine as it deals with
the ongoing impact of Russia’s aggression against it.</p><p>We need to be very clear
about where the fundamental problem lies. It is Russia which created this conflict,
Russia which supplies weaponry and personnel to the separatists, and Russia which
refrains from using its considerable influence on the separatists to get them to comply
with their Minsk commitments.</p><p>We fully support diplomatic efforts through the
Minsk Process. It is imperative that Russia abides by its commitments under the Minsk
Agreement and withdraws its forces from all of Ukraine, including Crimea.</p><p></p>
