Biden threatens Russia with greater international isolation

KYIV. April 22 (Interfax) - The United States Vice President Joseph Biden has threatened Russia with an even greater international isolation if Russia, he said, continues to support the people who have occupied administrative buildings in eastern Ukraine.

No nation must threaten another by deploying its troops on the border and thus destabilizing its neighbor. We want Russia to stop supporting the people hiding behind masks and wearing military uniforms, who are occupying buildings in the east of the country, and we would like to say that Russia's more provocative behavior will lead to a greater isolation, Biden said in a press statement after talks with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk in Kyiv on Tuesday.
