Russian Stocks Continue to Fall on Ukraine Fears | The Moscow Times:



"Russian assets fell for the second straight session on Tuesday on signs of renewed tension in eastern Ukraine.



At 10.30 a.m in Moscow, the dollar-denominated RTS index was down 0.7 percent to 1,352 points, while the ruble-traded MICEX lost 0.5 percent to 1,475 points. Both fell more than 1 percent on Monday.



Ukraine accused Russian army officers on Monday of fighting alongside separatists in the east of the country and said Moscow was once more building up its troops on the joint border. The United States accused Russia of providing armaments to rebels."
