PreviewLearning Target: (C.4.1) (C.4.1) IWBAT recognize the role of the United States in foreign affairs. • What topic is being discussed in this article? • How is the United States addressing the issue with Russia? • Do you think this is an issue that the United States should be getting involved in? Explain your answer The Russians have put a lot of troops right on the border with eastern Ukraine, and there's concern that they're not yet finished and might try to take over much of Ukraine proper. We saw large numbers of Russian troops massed in those same areas doing what were called prescheduled exercises before the move into Crimea. And in fact, those forces weren't used to go into Crimea. It's obviously something that we've got to keep a very close watch on, and both the Obama administration and the European Union have made clear that there's another round of economic sanctions if there's any further move by the Russian military to try to control, much less occupy, the eastern provinces of Ukraine. • http://www.cfr.org/russian-federation/west-breaking-point-russia/p32681
