White House officials are trying to avoid the issue of a military takeover of Crimea.
This is reported by The Hill. The publication notes that the United States is interested in the Russian status of the peninsula and thus brings Ukraine to peace talks.
Despite the fact that the United States declares its readiness to support Ukraine on the Crimea issue, there is still no talk of full support. This is partly due to the reluctance to increase the supply of heavy weapons, which will likely be needed for a successful offensive on the peninsula.
