See today some friction in the Ukrainian-American relations are not a coincidence and explains a number of factors.

“He denied quietly, quietly, without public statements, the analyst said. The given Tunisia, and Ukraine. Why? Specialist in international relations is understandable. Tunisia is not a party to the conflict to any great nuclear power, there is power enough loyal group, Tunisia as an important Maritime state in the Mediterranean. In addition, it is useful to demonstrate at least an indirect and fragmentary success of American policy in the middle East, because in addition to Tunisia and Morocco all other countries total failure”.
“As for Obama, he is in several interviews and statements have said many times that Ukraine is not included in the scope of fundamental interests of the United States is not a member of NATO, is in conflict with Russia, but because any military security guarantees will not be given, – the expert added. – Obligations of the United States and NATO to defend Ukraine militarily no. And such obligations are not visible”.
