If Moscow continues to ignore Minsk commitments, costs will rise – U.S. Department of State

The U.S. Department of State has urged Russia to stop fueling the fire and support separatists in the eastern part of Ukraine if it is truly committed to Minsk.

"The White House made clear on the third of November, should Moscow continue to ignore the commitments that it made in Minsk and continue its destabilizing and dangerous actions, the costs to Russia will rise," U.S. Department of State Spokesperson Jen Psaki said at a press conference on Monday.

Today Russia faces the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union.
