Скачать или смотреть Barack Obama: US and EU will coordinate deeper sanctions against Russia

EU and US leaders met at a summit to coordinate their steps on imposing harsher sanctions on Russia.

"What we're now doing is coordinating around the potential for additional, deeper sanctions, should Russia move forward and engage in further incursions into Ukraine," said Barack Obama, US President.

The President also stressed the importance of "collective defence" during a meeting with NATO's Secretary-General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

"We've already made a series of decisions to help underscore the importance of NATO and collective defence in the wake of what has happened in Ukraine.

"There will be a ministerial summit coming up in which I have asked the United States delegation to work cooperatively with the Secretary-General's office and evaluate all the additional steps that we might take in order to bolster that confidence among all NATO members."
