My fellow citizens.
Dear friends, The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. I have personally heard the message from people of Crimea . 96% of these people are demanding: Only way for them to go forward is together with Russia. Only Russia can save them. The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps.
As a general rule, I abstain from reading the reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I can not properly offer an answer. In spite of this precaution, however, it comes to my knowledge that I am much censured for some supposed agency in setting up, and seeking to sustain, the new government of Crimea. In this I have done just so much as, and no more than, the public knows. Now is not the time to ask how it all happened. That can wait until later, when the Russian people and the whole world will learn the full truth about the misfortune of the past weeks, and its deep and fateful significance. We are gravely concerned over the developments in Crimea. But I believe that Crimea will overcome all the hardships. We are not just neighbors, we are family and our future success depends on both of us, Russia and Crimea. To meet and overthrow the power of that dynasty, is the work now before all those who would prevent that consummation.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. Historians will note that in many nations, the advance of markets and free enterprise helped to create a middle class that was confident enough to demand their own rights. They will point to the role of technology in frustrating censorship and central control -- and marvel at the power of instant communications to spread the truth, the news, and courage across borders. Now that conflict has come, the only way to limit its duration is to apply decisive force. And I assure you, this will not be a campaign of half measures and we will accept no outcome but victory.
It is the President's job -- it is the President's job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations. I will finish that job.
