Says it will provide ukraine with what it calls and hans defensive capabilities in its battle against russian aligned separatists in the east of the country the decision marks a significant increase in american support for ukraine weapons are expected to include antitank missiles still need to approve the sale once President Donald Trump signs off on it well than ten thousand people have died in the three year conflict in Eastern Ukraine stephen fish is a professor of Political Science at the university of california berkeley he says americas support will have little impact. The truth this is that this is not a game changer on the ground in ukraine its not even clear yet that the mts had missiles that you referenced in the introduction of the story will be sold those javelin antitank missiles really what ukrainians which they promise now really are just sniper rifles this is not going to change things on the ground in moscow knows that this is not striking fear and the heart of anybody in the Defense Ministry in moscow this is again its a way of the trump way that the trump administrative can show first of all that its doing something that obama did not do which is to sell nonlethal telt lethal aid all defense of a to ukraine but also to show people in congress that he really cares about ukraine and to the political advantage of showing that hes not in bed with the russians entirely i really dont think this is this is all that big a deal though well have to see if this ends up ramping up and leading to larger arms sales to ukraine it could make a difference but so far we dont see of evidence of that.

Where i will make an effort to maintain a dialogue with whatever government comes out of these elections but as ive said before i will also ensure that we follow the law. On polling day voters of all sides spoke to us about wanting a return to normality with the results now in a straw poll of barcelona citizens found dissatisfaction with the outcome. Without favoring one side or another i think theyve hurt catalonia a lot with this independence issue. I think that the Citizens Party which one doesnt represent the majority of catalans i think the majority
