Kerry denounces Russia’s “aggression” in Crimea

Accusing Vladimir Putin of “possibly trying to annex Crimea” Secretary of State John Kerry warned that he would “lose all the glow that came out of the Olympics, his $60bn extravaganza.” Russia’s “major investment and trade needs” are bound to suffer if Russian troops don’t leave Ukraine, Kerry said, hinting at sanctions. All the G-8 and more “are simply gong to isolate Russia, no more normal business as usual.”
