CRISIS IN UKRAINE: SPECIAL SERVICE
This information informally give representatives of the US Department of State. The situation in Ukraine spoke Tuesday in Brussels, NATO foreign ministers.
US Secretary of State John Kerry used the Brussels conference to convince Europeans to tighten restrictions against Russia, if the east of Ukraine did not cease hostilities.
The head of the Alliance Stoltenberg supported the idea of tightening restrictions. – There must be consequences if a country violates international law and does not respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine – NATO secretary general said.
However, EU diplomats dampen the enthusiasm of Americans, because they say that among the Member States of the Community there is no unanimity in this case. Ideas come back from time to time, but there is no decision. It is not excluded that the situation in Ukraine and relations with Russia will be one of the topics of the EU summit in less than three weeks. For the first time will be chaired by the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk.
