Ukraine conflict: US and EU expand sanctions on Russia
US President Barack Obama has announced new economic sanctions against Russia, saying they will make Russia's "weak economy even weaker".
He said the co-ordinated actions of the US and European Union would "have an even bigger bite" on Russia's economy.
Pro-Russian rebels have been blamed for shooting down the Malaysia Airlines plane in eastern Ukraine on 17 July.
