G7 says ready to beef up Crimea sanctions against Russia - Risingsuntv

G 7 nations including the United States said
Saturday that they stood ready to strengthen
sanctions imposed against Russia after its
annexation of Crimea if Moscow’ s actions
warranted it .


“ We recall that the duration of sanctions is
clearly linked to Russia’ s complete
implementation of its commitments in the
Minsk Agreements and respect for Ukraine’ s
sovereignty . Sanctions can be rolled back
when Russia meets its commitments , ” a G 7
statement read.

“ However, we also stand ready to take further
restrictive measures in order to increase costs
on Russia should its actions so require , ” it
said .
