President Obama and European leaders have threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, saying it has failed to implement an agreement to defuse the crisis there. Here's our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.

奥巴马总统和欧洲领导人威胁就乌克兰问题对俄罗斯实施新的制裁措施，称俄罗斯未履行缓解危机的协议。下面是我们的外交事务通讯员James Robbins报道。

The temperature of the Ukraine crisis keeps on rising. A week ago, Ukraine, the United States, the European Union and Russia reached an agreement in Geneva to call on activists to disperse and give up their arms. Western leaders now say Moscow has done nothing to honor that deal, but Moscow rejects all that, portraying Russia as the victim of a western plot since the end of the Soviet Union to strip away the Kremlin'a sphere of influence. Western leaders are hoping the prospect of profound and long-term damage to Russia's economy may persuade President Putin, he cannot afford to go any further in Ukraine and must avoid any sort of invasion.

乌克兰危机持续升温。一周前，乌克兰，美国，欧盟和俄罗斯在日内瓦达成协议，呼吁积极分子撤离，放下武器。现在，西方领导人表示，莫斯科未采取任何行动来履行该协议。莫斯科对此全盘否认，认为俄罗斯是西方阴谋的受害者，他们自苏联解体以来试图削弱克里姆林宫的影响力。西方领导人希望俄罗斯经济可能遭受的长期深远影响能够说服普京总统，在乌克兰的问题上不能继续一意孤行，必须避免任何形式的入侵。

Three years ago in an effort to stem the decline, it teamed with Microsoft producing phones using the software giant's Windows platform, but sales remain sluggish and Nokia's board decided to cut its losses. The firm will now focus on its telecoms infrastructure business and on research while Microsoft attempts to build up its position in the handsets market using the Lumia range developed by Nokia.
