Something that happened in Ukraine can happen in any country of the world, U.S. President Barack Obama said.

“We cannot stand by when the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly violated,” Obama said during his speech at UN General Assembly.

The U.S. does not want to see Russia isolated, but to see its strong, he assured.
