Hillary Clinton for tougher sanctions on Russia

July 22, 2014 09:28

Hillary Clinton, the former United States secretary of state and a 2016 presidential contender, has called for tougher sanctions on Russia in view of the shooting down of a Malaysian passenger plane allegedly by Russia-backed Ukrainian separatist.

"We should work to bring our European allies together with us on tougher sanctions that would make it clear to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin that there is a price to pay for this kind of behavior," Clinton said yesterday.

She said that the US should encourage Europeans to start immediately to make sure they are less dependent on Russian energy so they are not intimidated.
