The United States of America believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan for settlement of the situation in east of Ukraine lacks the steps to stop financing separatists and pull out the Russian Federation's troops from Ukraine, the United States Department of State Spokesperson Jen Psaki said at a daily press briefing in Washington, DC on September 3, 2014.
"Our view is that if President Putin is prepared to stop financing, arming, and training separatists and remove Russian troops from Ukraine, those are objectives, of course, not only would we support but certainly the Ukrainians would support. And President Putin's plan certainly does not do that. So as of now, I think there's a great deal more work to be done. And President Putin has had a lot of words but not backed them with actions, and that's essentially what we feel needs to happen from here," she said.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Putin has proposed a plan for resolving the situation in eastern Ukraine, which provides for cessation of active offensive operations.
Prime Minister Arsenii Yatseniuk describes Putin's plan for settlement of the situation in east of Ukraine an attempt to freeze the conflict.
