US, allies considering extra sanctions on Russia over Ukraine crisis

Secretary of State John Kerry said today the United States and its allies were not prepared to play games with Russia and are discussing additional sanctions against Moscow over its role in eastern Ukraine, undermining a European-brokered truce.

"Russia has engaged in an absolutely brazen and cynical process over these last days," Kerry said as he began a meeting with British counterpart Philip Hammond.

"We are talking about additional sanctions, about additional efforts, and I'm confident over the next days people will make it clear that we are not going to play this game ... and be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behavior."

    139 Ukrainian troops and 52 rebels were exchanged, according to a separatist official overseeing the prisoner swap at a no man's land location near the village of Zholobok, some 20 kilometres west of the rebel-held city Luhansk.

  4. A introdução de novas sanções contra a Rússia e a questão do fornecimento de armas a Kiev vão depender do cumprimento do regime de cessar-fogo na Ucrânia. A declaração é do secretário de Estado norte-americano, John Kerry...

    Kerry afirmou neste sábado, 21, que os Estados Unidos e seus aliados estão considerando impor novas sanções contra a Rússia e consideram o comportamento da Federação Russa inaceitável para a comunidade internacional.

    Sem fornecer provas, autoridades ucranianas, juntamente com as dos Estados Unidos, têm insistentemente acusado a Rússia de enviar soldados e equipamentos ao leste da Ucrânia. A Rússia vem seguidamente negando essas acusações, enfatizando que não faz parte do conflito interno no país vizinho.

    "As discussões continuam sérias entre os Estados Unidos e seus aliados europeus sobre exatamente o que e quando as sanções podem ser impostas. Medidas adicionais serão tomadas em resposta à violação do cessar-fogo. Estou confiante de que medidas sérias serão tomadas em resposta à violação do cessar-fogo", disse Kerry após uma reunião com o chefe do ministro das relações exteriores britânico, Philip Hammond, em Londres.................http://br.sputniknews.com//mundo/20150221/234112.html#ixzz3SSnc0kOQ

  5. Russia says Kerry's accusation Moscow is lying 'beyond diplomatic ethics'...

    Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that accusations from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that Russia was lying over its involvement in eastern Ukraine went "beyond diplomatic ethics", Interfax reported.

    Kerry said earlier this week that Russia was lying when it said there were no Russian troops or equipment in Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists are fighting government troops.
