Spanish economic recovery in danger as Europe considers Russia action

Spain’s already fragile economy could be teetering on the brink as the EU decides whether to impose sanctions against Russia.

Britain is now pushing for EU sanctions to...

After expressing misgivings about the wording of the UN resolution, the Russian ambassador ultimately raised his hand in favour.

Raising a hand in support of a resolution at the UN is different from lifting a finger to help, and the test of this resolution will come from its implementation on the ground. Not for the first time during this crisis,...
