U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker has said the new financial sanctions against Russia announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control on November 8 for the first time officially recognize that Russia has full control over the situation in the occupied part of eastern Ukraine. Also, these are first sanctions that are imposed on individuals who, with their investment, "contribute to the integration of Crimea" and concern those involved in human rights violations in Crimea, RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service reported. Speaking of the new sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Russia, Volker said they concerned both Crimea and Donbas.
