Adrian Karatnycky: Obama’s strong signal to Putin
US President Barack Obama speaks to the press upon his arrival from New York at the White House in Washington, DC, on Sept. 29.
A day after US President Barack Obama met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the United States announced that it will ship long-range counter-battery radars to Ukraine. Obama authorized $20 million to provide the country with radars, bringing US security assistance to Ukraine up to $265 million. Obama's message is clear: the United States will not sacrifice Ukraine in exchange for Russian cooperation against Islamic State in Syria.
