BRUSSELS (Sept 11): EU member states agreed Thursday to implement a new round of sanctions against Russia, diplomatic sources said, after sharp disagreements on how to factor-in a ceasefire in Ukraine.

The economic sanctions will come into effect on Friday, the sources said, with a statement by EU President Herman Van Rompuy expected later in the day to spell out how they should be introduced in light of the ceasefire which appears to be holding.
