Merkel: Too soon for sanctions on Russia
By Justin Sink - 07/18/14 08:17 AM EDTGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday it was too soon to move on tougher sanctions against Russia after the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
"Regarding sanctions, I'd like to point out that the events with the plane, as far as I remember, were not even 24 hours ago, and at the moment we need to sort out an independent investigation,” the German leader said, according to Reuters. “So it's perhaps premature to draw conclusions before we have access to the remains of the plane.”

Angela Merkel deserves some respect.
She goes on to call for a ceasefire and investigation etc.
