Biden Warns Ukraine: EU Sanctions on Russia at rRsk

AP

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden warned Ukraine needs to live up to its promises economic and political reforms or risk seeing the European Union walk away from its sanctions on Russia, Reuters reports.

"We know that if they give an excuse to the EU, there are at least five countries right now that want to say 'We want out'" of sanctions against Moscow, Biden said, speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

Biden's comments came a day after he met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko at the United Nations.

Biden said he has spent two to three hours a week on the phone with Ukrainian leaders since the crisis began, urging them to persist with reforms, while also pressuring Germany, France and Italy to hold fast on sanctions.
