Lavrov claiming the U.S. and EU no longer opposes Russia's proposal to "federalize" Ukraine. Would like to hear some Western officials weigh in on this.
Via Interfax:
MOSCOW. March 29 (Interfax) - The West is no longer dismissing Russia's arguments that Ukraine should become a federation through a constitutional reform, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"I can say that 'federation' is no longer a taboo word in our negotiations. I am sure we should insist on this not just because we want this but because this is a demand by the southern and eastern regions [of Ukraine]," Lavrov said in an interview shown in an analytical program hosted by Sergei Brilyov on Rossiya-1 TV channel on Saturday

Majority of Americans support sanctions against Russia, but oppose military aid to Ukraine. Via Reuters:
A CBS News poll taken in recent days said 56 percent of Americans approve of sanctions enacted thus far by the United States and European nations, but 65 percent do not think the U.S. should provide military aid and weapons to Ukraine.
In addition, 57 percent said the United States does not have a responsibility to do something about Ukraine.
Obama himself said he could understand why people "might decide to look the other way," but that the "international order" must be protected.
