U.S. Warns Ukraine of Sanctions After Protest Crackdown - Bloomberg:
"The U.S. said it’s considering sanctions against Ukraine after riot police attempted to clear thousands of anti-government activists off the streets of Kiev.
Ukraine’s opposition rejected President Viktor Yanukovych’s offer of a roundtable meeting, saying he must pledge not to use force, release detained protesters and punish those responsible for violence against them before negotiations can begin. The government didn’t rule out further demolition of protest camps, Deputy Interior Minister Viktor Ratushnyak said yesterday.
“All policy options, including sanctions, are on the table,” U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said yesterday in Washington. “But obviously that still is being evaluated.”"
