My Way News - Crimea declares independence; West hits back
My Way News reports: "Crimea's declaration of independence Monday from Ukraine triggered the
toughest Western sanctions against Russia since the Cold War - with
Washington and the European Union retaliating with asset freezes and
travel bans and U.S. President Barack Obama vowing to 'increase the
cost' if the Kremlin does not back down."
My Way News - East vs West Ukraine conflict not a new Cold War
My Way News reports: "U.S. brands including McDonald's and Pepsi have a big presence in
Russia, and the European Union does far more trade with the country than
the U.S. The Europeans are less eager than Washington to take punitive
economic measures, in part because European companies from German
engineering firm Siemens to British oil giant BP have major Russian
investments. And Russia supplies almost a third of Europe's natural gas."
