U.S. to continue to impose Russia sanctions until Crimea, Donbas returned to Ukraine - Pompeo


The United States will continue to impose sanctions against Russia that waging aggression against Ukraine until Crimea is returned to Ukraine and until Moscow implements Minsk Agreements on Donbas settlement, according to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. 
"During the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, the Ukrainian people sacrificed their lives to protect their independence and self-determination. They demanded that their government maintain Ukraine’s European orientation and end pervasive corruption. Ukrainians continue to fight this battle as they work to build a modern, democratic, Western state," Pompeo said during a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin in Washington Friday. 
A free and well-governed nation is a "hard-won victory, but it’s worth it," according to the top U.S. diplomat.
