WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th February, 2019) The United States will continue to use sanctions against Russia and diplomatic efforts to support Ukraine, US Deputy Representative to the United Nations Jonathan Cohen told the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday."The United States will continue to draw on a range of measures we have at our disposal including diplomacy, sanctions and security assistance to support Ukraine and make clear to Russia that the only resolution that the international community can accept is the end of Russia's efforts to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Cohen said. "We"ll continue to coordinate our efforts with many other countries supporting Ukraine."
The United States and its EU allies imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russian officials over the Ukraine crisis and the reunification of Crimea.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied allegations of interfering in Ukraine affairs and noted that 96 percent of those participating in a regional referendum voted in favor of the Crimean reunification. The vote has not been recognized by Ukraine and the majority of Western countries.
