烏克蘭頓涅茨克(CNN)——親俄反對派與烏克蘭政府軍隊在國家東部對抗的冷戰回音。
本周歐盟和美國對俄羅斯新的反對制裁公布,莫斯科方面也變得愈加孤立。
“我們今天宣布主要的制裁是將繼續加大對俄羅斯的壓力,包括支持俄羅斯在烏克蘭的非法活動的親俄勢力和集團,”美國總統奧巴馬周二在白宮南草坪上說。（更多全球資訊請點擊瀏覽）
“換句話說,今天俄羅斯再次從國際社會孤立自己,了幾十年的真正進步又回到原點。”
新的嚴重制裁顯示西方對俄羅斯其有爭議的吞并克里米亞的耐心減弱,再加上俄支持親俄反對派和17日在烏克蘭東擊落的馬來西亞航空公司MH-17中298人其中許多歐洲人在機上所帶來的沖擊。
歐盟一些新的制裁目標普京的八個親信和三個“實體”，制裁限制他們進入歐盟資本市場,一位不愿透露姓名歐盟官員說。周三將公布這些被限制的人和集團,官員說。
三家國有銀行周二被華盛頓列入制裁名單，這意味著俄羅斯六大金融機構已有五個被列入制裁名單,根據奧巴馬政府的一位高級官員所透露。

Donetsk, Ukraine (CNN) - There are echoes of the Cold War as proRussian rebels battle Ukrainian government forces in the nation's east.
With the new sanctions announced by the European unio and United States against Russia this week, the stakes are getting higher and Moscow is getting more isolated.
"The major sanctions we're announcing today will continue to ratchet up the pressure on Russia, including the cronies and companies supporting Russia's illegal activities in the Ukraine," U.S. President Barack Obama said from the White House South Lawn on Tuesday.
"In other words, today Russia is once again isolating itself from the international community, setting back decades of genuine progress."
The new and harder-hitting sanctions show the West's waning patience with Russia over its disputed annexation of Crimea, its support of pro-Russian rebels and the impact of the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which had many Europeans among the 298 people on board when it went down over eastern Ukraine.
Some of the new EU sanctions target eight "cronies" of Putin and three "entities" by limiting their access to EU capital markets, an EU official said on condition of anonymity. The people and entities will be named Wednesday, the official said.
Three state-owned banks named Tuesday by Washington means five of the top six financial institutions in Russia were on the sanctions list, according to a senior Obama administration official.
