BRUSSELS, Sha'ban 25, 1435, Jun 23, 2014, SPA -- Several European foreign ministers on Monday threatened to impose further sanctions against Russia if it fails to cooperate with Ukraine's proposed peace plan and doesn't stop the flow of arms and militants across its border into eastern Ukraine, according to AP. In a joint statement, the European Union ministers urged Russia to withdraw its troops massed near the Ukrainian border and revoke the parliamentary authorization for the use of force on its neighbor's soil. The EU also decided to ban imports of most products from the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in April. Separately, the ministers also gave the green light for an EU mission to help reform Ukraine's police and judiciary. The EU and the United States have so far mainly ordered visa bans and asset freezes for a number of officials but have refrained from imposing broader economic sanctions. --SPA 17:36 LOCAL TIME 14:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
