U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said that Crimea sanctions imposed by the United States will remain in place regardless of Russia's actions in eastern Ukraine.
“Crimea sanctions will remain in place regardless of Russia’s actions in eastern Ukraine/ceasefire implementation under Minsk,” the ambassador wrote on his Twitter page on May 29.
“U.S. sanctions designed to hold Russia responsible for illegal annexation of Crimea, but not disrupt free information flow to people there,” he wrote.
