LVIV, Ukraine: Germany said on Sunday (Apr 3) that the West would agree to impose more sanctions on Russia in the coming days after Ukraine accused Russian forces of war crimes near Kyiv

, ratcheting up the already vast economic pressure on Russia over its invasion.

German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said the European Union should talk about ending Russian gas imports. The United States said that those responsible for any war crimes must be held responsible, Britain said it was stepping up its sanctions and France condemned"massive abuses" by Russian forces in Ukraine.The Kremlin says the West's sanctions - the most burdensome in modern history - amount to a declaration of economic war and that Moscow will now look eastwards to partners such as China and India.

Russia, which has supplied gas to Europe since the 1970s, would be deprived of hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign currency earnings. It would likely toughen its response to the"economic war" of the West.
