Kyiv, 25 July 2014<\/em><\/strong> \u201cPutin can stop this with one phone call,\u201d US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt told reporters at a Press Briefing in Ukraine Crisis Media Center. He expressed concern that rather than de-escalating tensions Russia was \u201cpouring gasoline on the fire,\u201d by continuing to arm and train fighters, sending them into Ukraine. He expressed alarm that Russia was attacking Ukraine with artillery fire from inside its border and at a time when Ukraine\u2019s President has confirmed his commitment to a peaceful solution.<\/p>\n

He also commented on the Malaysia crash investigation, congratulating President Poroshenko\u2019s decision to hand control over the process to the Dutch. \u201cWhat happened is not a mystery,\u201d he said, but repeated the need for a thorough, impartial investigation and noted regret at the fact that international experts were still being denied full access to the site.<\/p>\n

Answering a question about Arseniy Yatseniuk tendering his resignation, expressed, \u201cEnormous respect for what Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has accomplished since March,\u201d and that it was up to Ukraine\u2019s political leadership to work things out. But he stressed that Ukraine needs to \u201cstick to the hard and painful path of economic reforms. There are no short cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking forward he said that Ukraine had a daunting reconstruction task ahead. Noting that corporate elites understand the benefits of an institutional relationship with the EU, much effort was needed to overcome the deep problems of distrust by ordinary people \u201cwho were bombarded with Russian propaganda about the fascist putsch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pyatt also appealed to those holding kidnapped CNN stringer Anton Skiba, and all other hostages, to be released, saying he was alarmed to see how Russia has been \u2018weaponizing information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
