EU Sanctions Against Russia Likely to Be Renewed

 

EU sanctions against Russia, which were due to expire in a few weeks, now look set to continue.

According to diplomatic sources who spoke to AFP, the European Union could renew sanctions for another six months as early as next week.

EU Commission head, Jean-Claude Juncker, in St Petersburg for the Economic Forum, said:

“Let me be clear. On Minsk, the European Union is united. And so is the G7. Russia is party to the Minsk agreements. Therefore, the next step is clear: full implementation of the agreements. No more, no less. This is the only way to begin our conversation, and the only way to lift the economic sanctions that have been imposed.”
