EU Puts Off More Sanctions as Russia Accepts Ukraine Vote

European Union leaders put off further sanctions on Russia after President Vladimir Putin showed a willingness to work with Ukraine’s new leader.

An EU summit in Brussels focused on aiding Ukraine’s economy and helping President-elect Petro Poroshenko stabilize the country, which has been rocked by pro-Russian insurgencies in the south and east. Russia has said it will respect the vote and has pulled some of its troops from Ukraine’s border.
