The EU's announced it's expanding sanctions against Russia over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

It comes after rebels loyal to Moscow rejected truce talks with Kiev last week.

The unrest's continued for nearly a year - killing thousands and forcing some families to move into underground shelters.

Speaking through an interpreter, Luba explains how she came to be in one:

Some of the families in Donetsk have been living in underground shelters since July, too frightened to let their children play outside or go to school.

According to Sky News, another summit will be held on the 12th of February to discuss whether to impose further sanctions on Russia.

"We have shown that the EU is ready to take further measures and to prepare further measures in the weeks to come if the situation doesn't improve," EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said.
