Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with then-United States National Security Advisor John Bolton in 2018 that former United States president Barack Obama told him in 2014 that the confrontation over Ukraine could be resolved if Russia went no further than annexing the Crimea.
Bolton made this claim in his memoirs, the Ukrainian News Agency reports.
According to Bolton, the meeting took place in late June 2018 during his visit to Russia to prepare for a meeting between Trump and Putin.
“He (Putin) said that Obama had told him clearly in 2014 that if Russia went no further than annexing Crimea, the Ukraine confrontation could be settled,” Bolton writes.
According to Bolton, Putin took a very hard line on Ukraine.
“Putin took a very hard line on Ukraine, discussing in detail the conflict’s political and military aspects. Moving to a more confrontational tone, he said U.S. military sales to Ukraine were illegal, and that such sales were not the best way to resolve the issue. He refused even to discuss Crimea, dismissing it as now simply part of the historical record,” Bolton writes.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Bolton served as United States President Donald Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019.
Russia annexed the Crimea in February-March 2014 after the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv forced then-president Viktor Yanukovych to flee.
The international community did not recognize the annexation.
Fighting between the Ukrainian army and Russian-backed separatists began in Donetsk and Luhansk regions in April.

But RuSSia went further, and fucked up. 😀
Obama was as yellow as they come. This new claim backs up the previous claim that Obama told NATO to stand down. Absolutely shameful, pathetic and cowardly
Because no fucker was prepared then or now to stand up to the nazi rodent, the situation has got far worse. The EU, led by the Franco-German quisling alliance, has always been pro-RussIa. Brexit will consolidate that. All it needs is for Poland and Pribaltika to leave as well and the EU will be a fully fledged putinazi lackey.
Europe has always been crawling with fascist and communist scum who hate America and Britain and it’s getting worse.
A US president needs to come along who will fully engage in the process of liberating Russia occupied land by any means necessary. The offer on the table should be : renounce fascist imperialism, leave Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, the Kuril Islands and Konigsberg forever. Pay full reparations. After which point, you will find that unlimited investment will flow in from the west and your people will at last be happy, free and wealthy.
Ah, then they need the dominoes to start toppling at Red Square Maidan.
The big problem is, the Kremlin don’t want the sheep to be happy, free and wealthy.
Bullshit as usual when Putain talks
Obumer was a loser and one of America’s worst presidents. He did little for the country, he did virtually nothing for Ukraine. His inactions and cowardice were no secret in mafia central in Moscow and this encouraged the crime syndicate to go for more.
