Washington will leave sanctions against Russia-occupied Crimea as long as he will not be returned to Ukraine.

According to the Цензор.НЕТ with reference to "Укринформ",, this was stated by U.S. assistant Secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia Victoria Nuland.

"Crimean sanctions will remain as long as there is occupation," said Nuland, speaking at the Washington-based Fund of the Marshal.

However, according to her, the U.S. is confident that the report on the causes of the crash Boeing in the East of Ukraine will confirm their position on the perpetrators of this tragedy.

"We expect that the Netherlands will publish the results of the investigation in a week or ten days. We are sure that what you told Secretary Kerry three days after the attacks is confirmed in terms of who is responsible for this (attack - ed.) and weapons that were involved," said Nuland.

She stressed that the guilty will be referred to the court, which is extremely important not only for Ukraine but also for the international system.
