U.S. Secretary of State Kerry, moves Russian red line again

[Reality Check]

.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry suggested on Thursday that the United States is drawing closer to imposing more sanctions on Russia by saying time was running out for Moscow to change its course in Ukraine.

In unusually blunt comments, Kerry accused Russia of using propaganda to hide what he said it was actually trying to do in eastern Ukraine: destabilize that region and undermine next month's planned Ukrainian elections.

"The window to change course is closing," he told reporters in a hastily arranged appearance in the State Department press room, repeating U.S. threats to impose fresh sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not alter his policy.

"If Russia chooses the path of de-escalation .. all of us will welcome it. But if Russia does not, the world will make sure that the costs for Russia will only grow," he said. "It will be an expensive mistake."

But Kerry really, really, really, really, really means it this time.

Theme song for Kerry's ever changing deadlines, and for his over inflation of the severity of unspecified sanctions:
