After talks with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in London, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry described Russia’s conduct in the Ukraine crisis as “simply unacceptable.”

The Guardian reports:

“Russia has engaged in an absolutely brazen and cynical process over these last days,” he said. “We know to a certainty what Russia has been providing to the separatists, how Russia is involved with the separatists.

“We are talking about additional sanctions, about additional efforts, and I’m confident over the next days people will make it clear that we are not going to play this game,” he added. 

“We’re not going to sit there and be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behaviour at the expense of the sovereignty and integrity of a nation.”
