Ukraine seeks help from U.S

          Ukraine seeks help from U.S. with military support because beginning of this year there was a war going on between Russian and Ukraine, which kind of ended by our National Government's support. The Ukraine leader Petro O. Poroshenko came to US to ask president Obama to aid Ukrainian soldiers against the Russians. Ukraine is calling for our help because the Russians have started to attack the east side of the Ukraine, president Petro also mentioned that "....a person can't fight with just a blanket..." so not only he is asking for nonlethal weapons but also for  lethal weapons. President Obama's administration hasn't agreed to the request yet. But United States have decided to provide $72 million in nonlethal assistance. Also on Wednesday, the white house agreed on providing additional $46 million in security assistance which will help the Ukraine's military and its border guards.
         The article is worth reading because we need to know if the U.S is making a good decision by helping the Ukrainian's again, even though we had helped them once, also we need to know who  U.S. has alliances with.
