EU to Kiev: no new sanctions against Russia

The EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Hugh Mingarelli, said today that there will be no new sanctions against Russia, answering the journalist's question about the EU's need to draft a new set of sanctions against the Russian Federation.

"Today, this issue is not on the agenda. And I do not think that there will be another sanctions in the next few weeks,’’ UNIAN quotes Mingarelli as saying.

At the same time, he noted that the current sanctions have been preserved. "We hope that the EU will be able to maintain its unity in the matter of sanctions against Russia," the EU ambassador to Ukraine said.
