Russia Receives New Threats From US over Ukraine

A cease fire consensus was reached between Russia and Ukraine but Russia ignored it. The US Secretary, John Kerry yesterday Saturday said the EU allies are considering serious sanctions against Russia. He said Obama is considering to arm the Ukraine forces and sanction Russia for breaching February 12 European-brokered truce. In his words, he said...

"In the next few days I anticipate that President Obama will evaluate the choices that are in front of him and will make his decision as to what the next step will be," Kerry said.
"There are serious discussions taking place between us and our European allies as to what those next sanctions steps ought to be and when they ought to be implemented."

Ukraine's military accused Russia on Friday of sending more tanks and troops towards the rebel-held.

The Russian government did not immediately respond to the allegation from Kiev, but has always denied accusations that its forces are fighting in Ukraine.

Kerry said the most "egregious violation" of the ceasefire was the assault on the city of Debaltseve and military supplies allegedly sent by Russia to separatists.
"We know to a certainty what Russia has been providing and no amount of propaganda is capable of hiding these actions," Kerry said.
"For anyone wanting to make grey areas out of black, let's get very real, the Minsk agreement is not open to interpretation, it is not vague, it is not optional."
'Economic consequences'

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Russian government, told Echo Moskvy radio station that Russia was focused on supporting the ceasefire deal, according to TASS news agency.

"An obsessive idea to force someone to pay the cost ... is not conducive to the resolution of the situation in southeast Ukraine," Peskov was quoted as saying, in response to Kerry's remarks on the possibility of further sanctions against Russia.

Kerry said Russia and the rebels were only complying with the ceasefire accords in a few areas.

"If this failure continues, make no mistake, there will be further consequences, including consequences that will put added strains on Russia's already troubled economy," Kerry said.
