Actually "Russia hit with second round of U.S. sanctions" is currently incorrect.
The Daily Mail upholds the Brits' sensationalism of everything not in British favor--
Daily Mail:
The criminal "Ukraine's ambassador to the U.N." has expressed fears Russia may be planning a further military incursion into Ukraine's territory
'Russia is on its way to unleash a full blown military intervention' -- becomes Putin's plan to 'unleash full blown military intervention' sends shockwaves around the world"
and down further we read in The Daily Mail--
Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Yurii Klymenko, has also expressed concerns that Russia may be intending a further military incursion into Ukraine territory.
He said: 'There are indications that Russia is on its way to unleash a full blown military intervention in Ukraine's east and south'.
His statement was widely supported by other ambassadors, but challenged by a Russian diplomat, who read a prepared statement justifying Russia's actions so far.
