According to Psaki, there are active discussions on this subject within the administration and with international partners.

"However, there is nothing to be announced," she said.

Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States Oleksandr Motsyk has said that the United States and the EU should impose additional sanctions against Russia for the events in the town of Debaltseve, when Russian-backed militants, in violation of the ceasefire, attacked the Ukrainian-held town, forcing Ukrainian troops to retreat.
