Obama, Europe Leaders Intend to Impose More Russia Sanctions -- Wall Street Journal
Leaders Cite Lack of Moscow Cooperation Following Geneva Agreement on Ukraine
President Barack Obama spoke with four other world leaders about clamping a new round of sanctions on Russia, but senior U.S. officials said action is unlikely on Friday as the U.S. continues to negotiate with allies.

Interesting. You think these countries would realize that sanctions won't stop Russia but only worsen relations. They do not fear these threats and if Ukraine attempts to get rid of these separatists then Russia will move in to protect them. They see these pro-russians(or Russian) protesters as their own and will aid them if necessary.
