Obama says Putin 'not fooling anybody' over Ukraine, more Putin WTF
US President Barack Obama on Tuesday said Russia was not "fooling anybody" over the crisis in Ukraine after Vladimir Putin denied Russian forces were operating on the flashpoint Black Sea peninsula of Crimea.
In a show of support for the new interim leaders in Kiev, visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry condemned Russia's "act of aggression" and accused Moscow of "working hard to create a pretext for being able to invade further".
"President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers, maybe a different set of interpretations. But I do not think that is fooling anybody," Obama said during a visit to a school in the US capital.

When told of Putin's remarks by a reporter in Kiev, Kerry responded: "He really denied there were Russian forces in Crimea?" and shook his head, bewildered.
