EU may impose new Ukraine sanctions, will fall short of U.S. wishes Posted: 15 Jul 2014 01:11 PM PDT By Adrian Croft and Justyna Pawlak BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union leaders, under U.S. pressure to take a tougher stance towards Russia over the Ukraine crisis, could give the go-ahead on Wednesday to new sanctions but they will fall short of the far-reaching economic measures Washington wants.

When EU leaders last met at the end of June, they threatened further sanctions unless pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine took a series of steps to promote peace. EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said on Tuesday that Russia had not stopped the flow of weapons, equipment and militants across the Ukrainian border and nor had it used its influence to persuade the separatists to lay down their arms.
