US little boy president of corporation speaks: US President Barack Obama says Washington and its European allies will impose a cost on Russia if it does not reverse course over the situation in Ukraine. “Europe and America are united in our support of the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian people,” Obama said in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, after talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Monday. “We are united in imposing a cost on Russia for its actions so far.” Obama, who has kicked off a week of talks with leaders from Washington’s European allies, also said that he and other representatives from the Group of Eight (G8) developed nations, except representatives from the Kremlin, will discuss a permanent removal of Moscow from the economic group and tougher economic sanctions against Russia. US National Security Adviser Susan Rice has already said that Obama will look to isolate Russia during his visit to the Netherlands to meet with other leaders of major world economic powers. Obama has already announced two stages of sanctions that target Russian political and business leaders as well as a major Russian bank, Rossiya Bank. He has also issued an executive order to authorize penalties against key sectors of the Russian economy if necessary. Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked the US sanctions, saying he planned to open an account at Rossiya Bank. “I’ve already said that I was going to open an account in this bank, more than that I asked for my salary to be transferred to this account,” Putin said. Meanwhile, US intelligence services and the military are scrambling to expand spy satellite coverage and communications-interception efforts across Russia. The White House has also said that it is “very concerned” about Russian forces near Ukraine’s eastern and southern borders, saying they might engage in military incursions into Ukraine. This comes as the US has stepped up the deployment of its military forces to eastern Europe, including the dispatch of fighter jets and surveillance equipment to Poland and the Baltic states. A March 16 referendum in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in which people overwhelmingly voted to break away from Ukraine and rejoin Russia further escalated the already simmering tensions between the US and Russia. On Friday, Putin signed into law legislation passed by the upper house of the Federal Assembly of Russia earlier in the day that officially makes Crimea part of the Russian Federation.
