Russia has warned the United States against “hasty and reckless steps” over the crisis in Ukraine that could harm Moscow-Washington relations. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov gave the warning in a telephone conversation with his US counterpart John Kerry on Friday. Lavrov warned against hasty and reckless steps capable of causing harm to Russian-American relations, particularly... sanctions, which would inevitably hit the United States like a boomerang, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued after the phone conversation. On the sidelines of a Rome conference on Libya, the two foreign ministers met on Thursday to discuss the situation in Ukraine. After the meeting, Lavrov said there was no agreement between the two sides on the issue. In fulfillment of instructions from Presidents Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, who discussed the situation in Ukraine over the phone the day before, [Lavrov and Kerry] agreed to continue the consideration of the issue of the acute political crisis that has engulfed that country, the statement noted.
