US: Former GOP Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul says US sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis are an act of war, adding that the American people are tired of US-imposed wars.

When you block the trade of goods and services with a particular country, it may not be quite as bad as dropping bombs, but it is a symbol of a war, Paul told Britains Channel 4 News on Monday.

The American people want no part of a conflict with Russia, just as they wanted no part in a war against Syria last summer, but the US administration is still playing games by threatening Russia and adding sanctions, Paul added.

Weve been involved too much and I take a non-interventionist foreign policy position. Its not our business, it doesnt serve anybodys interest, its part of the same thing that led us into the disaster in the Middle East, a lot of people die, a lot of money spent and were still suffering the consequences of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and theres the threat of war in Syria. We dont need another threat. The American tax-payers dont want it and our government thinks they can get away with it, he said. Theres are a lot American citizens whove joined with me in saying we have had enough of this, weve had enough of this intervention, weve had enough of this wars and weve had enough of this debt and the American people are getting sick and tired of it, said Paul, who sought the presidency of the US on three occasions: as the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and as a candidate in the Republican primaries of 2008 and 2012.

The US and Russia are at loggerheads over the worsening crisis in Ukraine.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea declared independence from Ukraine on March 17 and formally applied to become part of Russia following a referendum a day earlier, in which nearly 97 percent of the participants voted in favour of the move. On March 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law the documents officially making Crimea part of the Russian territory.
