WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 – The United States and Germany have warned Russia of additional costs if Moscow disregards it obligations under the Minsk agreements, calling into question its commitment to supporting a peaceful resolution to the conflict in parts of eastern Ukraine.

"Should Moscow continue to ignore the commitments that it made in Minsk and continue its destabilizing and dangerous actions, the costs to Russia will rise," a spokeswoman for the US National Security Council Bernadette Meehan said.
