WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on current and former Ukrainian officials it accused of engaging in activities directed by Moscow to destabilize Ukraine as Washington warned it was prepared to take fresh action if Russia launches an invasion into the former Soviet country.
Russia has massed tens of thousands of troops on its borders with Ukraine, and Western states fear Moscow is planning a new assault on the country. Russia denies it is planning an attack, but says it could take unspecified military action if a list of demands is not met, including a promise from NATO never to admit Kyiv as a member.
