Ukraine leader seeks lethal aid as U S offers non lethal help
President Obama welcomed Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko to the White House while stopping short of delivering lethal military aid. Poroshenko urged U S weaponry during a joint Congress address, calling for stronger support as violence in eastern Ukraine continues. A new 46 million security package was announced including radar, vehicles, boats, armor, engineering gear, and 7 million for humanitarian groups. Poroshenko, after meeting Obama, declined to press for immediate lethal assistance, saying he is satisfied with defense cooperation. The visit signals U S support for Ukraine against Russia, whose moves include Crimea annexation and backing eastern separatists.
