Senator McCain on Ukraine Protests

Ahora me acompaña el senador John McCain, eh, a quien conozco,

Senador, acaba de dirigirse, eh, a la multitud de manifestantes allí mismo en,

en Kiev. ¿Qué, qué es lo que i- intenta hacer aquí?

Esperamos lograr una transición pacífica

aquí que, eh, detenga la violencia, que

les dé a los

ucranianos, eh, lo que lamentablemente no h- tenido con

las distintas re- revoluciones que han tenido lugar, una, eh, una

sociedad verdaderamente legítima. Esta es una, eh, revolución popular, eh,

eh, una revolución aquí. Ha sido pacífica salvo cuando

el gobierno

intentó reprimirlos, y el gobierno no lo ha hecho desde entonces.

Eh, pero elogio, eh, su,

su capacidad y su deseo de manifestarse pacíficamente por

un cambio que, eh, creo que merecen.

Déjeme preguntarle sobre el papel de EE. UU.

Sé que usted ha querido que, eh, la administración, eh,

quizá considere sanciones, eh, alguna medida que ayude a impulsar

a los manifestantes contra el gobierno.

Mi pregunta es, mientras intentamos trabajar en tantas

cosas con los

rusos, por ejemplo, con Irán y, eh, en Siria,

¿de verdad es un buen momento para que EE. UU. se enfrente a

Rusia?

Bueno, no creo que nos estemos enfrentando a Rusia.

Y, por cierto, eh, me complace mucho la declaración del secretario Kerry,

eh, y nuestra, eh, subsecretaria Victoria Nuland,

que estuvo aquí. Eh, miren, est- estas personas aman a Estados

Unidos. Aman la libertad.

Eh, y no creo que esto pueda, eh, considerarse como algo

más que nuestro apoyo tradicional, eh, a las personas que,

Eh, queremos una sociedad libre y democrática.

Eh, no estamos hablando de una acción militar.

No estamos hablando de bloqueos.

Estamos hablando de la posibilidad de sanciones si ellos

continúan reprimiendo brutalmente a su pueblo.

Eso, eso requeriría alguna acción de nuestra

parte, simplemente porque eso es de lo que

se tratan los Estados Unidos de América.

Original transcript (English)

Joining me now, Senator John McCain, uh, who I know, Senator, you have just addressed, uh, the crowd of protesters there yourself in, in Kiev. What, what is it y- you're trying to do here? Hopefully what we are trying to do is bring about a peaceful transition here that, uh, would stop the violence, would

give the Ukrainian people, uh, what they unfortunately have not h- with different res- revolutions that have taken place, a, uh, a real legitimate society. This is a, uh, grassroots, uh, uh, revolution here. It's been peaceful except for

when the government tried to crack down on them, and the government hasn't done that since. Uh, but I'm praising, uh, their, their ability and their desire to demonstrate peacefully for change that, uh, I think they deserve.

Let me ask you this about the US role. I know that you have wanted, uh, the administration, uh, perhaps to consider sanctions, uh, something to help boost, uh, the anti-government protesters. Question to you is, while we're trying to work on so many

things with the Russians, for instance, with Iran and, uh, in Syria, is this really a good time for the US to be taking on, uh, Russia? Well, I don't think that we would be taking on Russia.

And by the way, uh, I am very pleased with Secretary Kerry's statement, uh, our, uh, Deputy Secretary Victoria Nuland, who was here. Uh, look, th- these people love the United States of America. They love freedom. Uh, and I don't think you could, uh, view this as anything

but our traditional support, uh, for people who, uh, want a free and democratic society. Uh, we're not talking about military action. We're not talking about blockades. We are talking about the possibility of sanctions if they

continue to brutally repress their people. That, that would require some action on our part, just because that's what the United States of America is all about.
