Time running out for Russia, Kerry says

In unusually blunt language, Kerry said on Thursday that unless Moscow does not fall in line with Washington over Ukraine, the US will have no choice but to impose additional sanctions.
He warned Russia that not changing course will be a “grave and expensive mistake.”
Kerry also accused Moscow of direct involvement in the recent escalation of the situation in eastern and southern Ukraine.
In addition, he claimed that Moscow has launched a “full-throated effort to actively sabotage the democratic process” in Ukraine.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the top US diplomat claimed that Ukraine’s interim authorities had from “day one” kept their word after agreeing to the deal in Geneva.
Kerry’s statement came hours after Russia began military exercises close to the border with Ukraine.
Moscow said the drills are in response to Kiev’s intensified crackdown on pro-Russia protesters.
