European Union governments agreed on Thursday that new sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis will take effect on Friday but held out the prospect of cancelling some, or even all of them next month if they believe a peace plan is working. Russia's foreign ministry said the approval of new penalties showed the European Union had "made its choice against" the peace roadmap, which is aimed at ending the worst confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cold War. Western powers have accused Russia of sending tanks and troops into eastern Ukraine to prop up a rebellion by pro-Moscow separatists - a charge denied by the Kremlin which has responded with its own sanctions and threats of more retaliation. http://bit.ly/1rP46pm http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
