The United States' Secretary of State John Kerry and Britain's foreign secretary Philip Hammond have been discussing imposing additional sanctions on Russia.  Since agreements have been made between Russia and the international community regarding Russia's treatment of the situation in the Ukraine, Russia has been violating some of those agreements.  In the past week alone, the State Department has issued concerns over Russia's support of separatists in the Ukraine.  In addition to providing weapons to the separatists, Russia has been utilizing its own militia to get involved in conflict.    While the Obama administration has been debating sending weapons to the Ukraine, Kerry and colleagues have decided additional sanctions would be best. -Kaytlin St.Clair Link
