Tillerson says the United States will “never accept Russia’s occupation and attempted annexation” of Crimea. He says sanctions will stay in place until Russia returns control of the peninsula to Ukraine. He says the U.S. joins Europe in maintaining other sanctions until Russia withdraws military forces from the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.
Tillerson meets later Thursday in Vienna with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“Little Tillly is such a cute bugger when he lashes out. I mean, look at him, Darlene. He’s all but begging for a time-out. Of course, Trump, that horseshit Daddy of his, will just call him out again. Did I tell you how he nearly had Tilly in tears a few weeks back? I tell ya, darling, that man’s the devil. Melania ought to pack her backs and leave his sorry ass. ‘Course, she knows which side her bread is buttered, so that ain’t gonna happen. God bless her thievin’ heart.”
