West's sanctions against Russia won't help Ukraine - Medvedev

MOSCOW. July 17 (Interfax) - The sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, including the new ones, will not help Ukraine in any way, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

"What I'd like to say is: alas, all these sanctions won't help Ukraine in any way," Medvedev said at a government meeting on Thursday in commenting on the U.S. decision to impose new sanctions on a number of Russian banks and companies.
