US finally gets involved in the crisis

Finally, today (Friday 1.31.14) U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that overtures by Ukraine's embattled president to the country's political opposition have not been enough to resolve the crisis there.

"The offers of President Yanukovych have not yet reached an adequate level of reform and an adequate level of sharing of the future so that the opposition can, in fact, feel that it can legitimately come to the table," Kerry said.

There is also talk of planned Kerry's meeting with opposition leaders. Something that already angered Russians.

Kerry also asked other countries to stay out of the crisis — a warning to Russia.
