is still the case that all the maps at the united nations again shall crimea where it belongs which is part of ukraine. as you know u.n. sanctions that were put in place by virtue of crimea will not be lifted until crimea is restored to ukraine. and with regard to secretary kerry's meeting i do not that there's been misreporting, the u.s. position has been very, very clear which is minced implementation is required in order for there to be any offer on the eastern ukraine related sanctions. minsk implication as you would result in the restoration of international border to ukraine sovereign control. so that is our position that is the position also the europeans agreed at the g7 meeting. >> thank you meeting. >> thank you but i'm getting close to the end of my time. i've got to question what is going to get to one. as we all know pretty horrific things have been happening especially christians but to muslims as well under isis control. we've seen dozens of people taking out the beaches and beheaded in libbey. we've seen people kidnapped and god knows what's happened, crucifixions, a whole range of things that happen.

policy not to recognize the sovereignty of russia over crimea or its waters, airspace. what is the u.n. doing to get russia out of crimea. it is no secret that some believe this administration once russia's support in the iran deal so badly, it is willing to cut russia some slack on ukraine. especially with respect to crimea. what would you respond to that. >> thank you, sir. having just returned -- there are two issues. one is that russia has attempted to lop up part of someone else's country. the conditions in which people are now living has arisen from the abuses being carried out. at the united nations, we discussed earlier because of russian is -- because russia is a member, all of us should exercise responsibility, but russia is not. our ability to get the security council is blunted. the u.n. general assembly it is unheralded and not widely known. we were able to galvanize 100 countries to vote against what russia was attempted to do in crimea. to reject the phony referendum that gave the people of crimea a choice between independence and joining russia. the consequence which ma

crimea we've been very clear. the u.n. maps will never change. crimea is part of ukraine. it has been part of ukraine and will remain part of ukraine. >> ambassador while i have you. very tough article in the "wall street journal" about your tenure last week. the obama doctrines u.n. failure it was called. human rights interventions. your own tenure has been marked by failure in all the areas mentioned particularly the responsibility to protect civilians in places like syria and ukraine, that ultimately you haven't delivered for them. what would you say to that? >> i'm focused on the job that i have to do every day. i think if you talk to the people of south sudan or the central african republic or certainly if you come to ukraine, you would hear a very different message about the obama administration and what we've done on behalf of their rights in order to prevent atrocities. so my focus is on the next year and a half and making sure we get as much done as we can in the time we have available to us. the fact that there has been an awful lot of aggression carried out by r

policy not to recognize the sovereignty of russia over crimea offer its waters or air space. what is the u.s. and what is the u.n. doing to get russia out of crimea and it is no secret that some believe that this administration wants russia's support in the iran deal so badly that it is willing to cut russia some slack on ukraine and especially with respect to crimea, what would you respond to that, please? >> thank you, sir. well having again just returned from ukraine, these issues are particularly fresh in my mind, as is the suffering of the people of crimea. many of whom have been displaced to kiev. the tatar community there, unable to exercise its rights. independent media shut down. disappearances detentions. so there are two issues in a way. but one is the fact that russia, a permanent member of the security council has attempted to lop off part of someone else's country and the second is the conditions in which people in that territory are now living or the displacement that has arisen from the abuses being carried out. at the united nations as we discussed earlier, because russia is a permanent member a

policy not to recognize the sovereignty of russia over crimea or its waters or air space. what's the u.s. and what is the u.n. doing to get russia out of crimea and it's no secret that some believe that this administration wants russia's support in the iran deal that it's willing to cut russia some slack on ukraine with respect to crimea. how would you respond to that? >> thank you sir. having just returned from ukraine, these issues are particularly fresh in my mind as is the suffering of the people of crimea. many have been displaced. the community there unable to exercise its rights. independent media shut down. disappearances, detentions. one is the fact that russia, a permanent member of the security council has lopped off part of one person's country. the second is the conditions in which people in that territory are now living or the displacement that's arisen from the abuses being carried out. at the united nations, because russia is a permanent member and veto holder a privilege that all of us really should exercise great responsibility in having, but russia is not, our ability to get the security c

crimea has been annexed illegally. other activities that the russian military are conducting inside another country violates everything since the u.n. charter. so to help the ukranian government defend itself is elementary. but there are others who have a vision that america is in decline so approach. >> we have an location election coming up. we hear jeb bush saying the united states doesn't instill fear as we did before. is that sort of tough talk in an election year? doesn't that signal maybe very dangerous times ahead in 2016 no matter who is elected president? >> i've been in eight presidential campaigns. people say all kinds of things. back in 1968 -- there was a secret plan to end the war but we were there five years. the average american is not going to vote on foreign affairs. some would like us to go back to where we were when we called the shots in the world. we never called all the shots in the world. we may not be able to call as many as we would like to but still we are secure. we're still the number one country to which our allies turn looking for support and our enemies most fair in terms of the united states actual
