United States Not Ruling Out Additional Sanctions Against Russia Over Situation In Syria

The United States is not ruling out additional financial sanctions against Russia over the situation in Syria.

Josh Earnest, White House Press Secretary, gave the position at a news briefing, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

He said the United States was not eyeing unilateral sanctions, as the strategy of sanctions of the United States is more effective when in close coordination with partners.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine condemns air strikes against civilians in Syria and called on the sides of the conflict to observe the ceasefire.

Turkey said the behavior of Russia during the conflict in Syria accounted for absence of proper reaction from the world community to Russia's participation in the conflict in Ukraine.
