US President Barack Obama will welcome Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk of Ukraine to Washington this week to "highlight the strong support of the United States for the people of Ukraine, who have demonstrated inspiring courage and resilience through recent times of crisis," the White House announced. On Wednesday, the two leaders "will discuss how to find a peaceful resolution to Russia's ongoing military intervention in Crimea that would respect Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity," the White House said in a statement Sunday. Obama and Yatsenyuk also will "discuss support the international community can provide to help Ukraine confront its economic challenges, and the importance of uniting Ukraine and working to fulfill the aspirations of the Ukrainian people as they prepare for May presidential elections," the statement said.
