The EU imposed new sanctions against
Ukrainian rebels, rejecting Russia’s offer to waive EU’s food embargo in
exchange for the EU to lift its own sanctions against Russia. The fresh
sanctions come on the heels of rebel elections on November 2. The EU and US
believe that Russia encouraged the vote to undermine Kiev’s sovereignty.
Indeed, while the EU and US denounced the vote as illegal and illegitimate,
Russia stated that it would recognize the result.
