Biden promises Russia harsher sanctions and isolation

Instead of complying with its commitments, Russia resort to provocations. The answer will be sanctions of the West.

The US is ready for stepping up sanctions against Russia in case it continues to ignore its commitments on settlement of the conflict in Donbas, zn.ua writes.

“And as long as that continues, Russia will face rising cost and greater isolation," Vice President of the US Joseph Biden said during the -conference in Kyiv held together with Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko.

He added that instead of honoring its obligations Russia has resorted to more provocative actions, to an ever greater disrespect for the agreement that was signed by Russia.

"If Russia were to fulfill these commitments and respect Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, we could begin a rational discussion about sanctions," Biden said. "But that's not what has happened,” Vice President of the US emphasized.

The new Foreign Minister of Poland Grzegorz Schetyna has called upon the European Union to prepare new sanctions against Russia in advance in case of a new Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. As said by him, in case of Russia’s offensive against the towns in eastern Ukraine, such as Mariupol, the European Union should slap sanctions against Russia immediately, and not just start to develop them. Sanctions and a low oil price remain “the most powerful weapon against Moscow.”
