The head of the French foreign Ministry said that the situation in Crimea violates the Ukrainian Constitution and international law. That is why it was decided to suspend the participation of Russia in "eight".

Fabius stressed that this is only "second level" of sanctions, but they can be translated into "third level".

Now, however, this is still not out of the question, because before to impose such sanctions, France must assess all possible implications for their economies and the employment sector.

William Hague (British Foreign Minister) said that in his opinion, Russia's decision on annexation of Crimea may lead to the isolation of the country.
