WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–March 6, 2014. U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) yesterday joined Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and a bipartisan group of Senators to introduce a resolution condemning the Russian military siege of Crimea, calling for a withdrawal of those troops, and a negotiated settlement to any concerns regarding the Crimea. The resolution also urges the administration and European Union to use a range of economic and diplomatic leverage against Russia should it fail to abide by these basic economic norms.
