"We cannot stand by when sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly violated," the president said referring to the Ukraine crisis.

With regards to the terrorism of the ISIS, Obama said, "When a terrorist group beheads captives, slaughters the innocent and enslaves women,that is an assault on all humanity."
