RUSSIA-UKRAINE-POLITICS-CRISIS-MALAYSIA-PUTIN-FBL-WC-2014
Russia's President Vladimir Putin (L) visits the construction site of a new football stadium, one of the future venues of the 2018 World Cup, in the Volga River city of Samara 868 km (539 miles) southeast of Moscow, on July 21, 2014, with the 2018 World Cup Russia Local Organising Committee chairman, Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko (R), attending the ceremony. Last week US Republican lawmakers urged tougher sanctions on Moscow after a Malaysian jet crash in Ukraine was blamed on Russian-backed separatists, with one congressman even bringing the World Cup into play. Russia is due to host the 2018 rendition of the massive soccer tournament -- seen as the country's most ambitious project since the fall of the Soviet Union -- with Putin recently vowing it would be "an unforgettable football feast."
