Ukraine: after the Geneva Conference, the issue of sanctions remains

The situation in Ukraine is still unstable and could - in the event of a clear non-respect of the commitments made in Geneva by those involved - lead to further sanctions. Although the USA have been on the offensive since the beginning on this issue, the European countries will in all likelihood adopt a more cautious approach due to their many and varying economic interests. In the meantime, European aid to Ukraine in the financial and gas sectors remains significant however.
