March 04, 2014
Russia showed no signs of backing down even as world leaders threatened sanctions and sternly rebuked the country for sending troops into Ukraine, reports CNN.
At an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss the unfolding
crisis, Ukraine's envoy asked for help, saying that Russia had used
planes, boats and helicopters to flood the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea
with 16,000 troops in the past week.
The United States has suspended upcoming bilateral trade and investment engagement with Russia, a trade official said.
