BERLIN, May 13 (Reuters) - The West must increase its sanctions on Russia as well as its military support to Ukraine after Russia did not agree to an immediate ceasefire on Monday, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Tuesday.
"There needs to be further steps as regards sanctions as well as additional support for Ukraine since (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, as was to be expected, is behaving as usual in such a situation," Pistorius told reporters in Berlin.
