Today German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that new draft sanctions against Russia will be discussed at the heart of the EU summit in Brussels on August 30, which is intended to be a reprisal for the escalation of the conflict in the east of Ukraine."We receive messages about the strengthened presence of the Russian military, about new disorders and about further advance of separatists in those regions in which there was still a quiet situation. We accurately designated in March of this year that in case of further escalation we should discuss further sanctions. Thus, it becomes a summit subject, and we should solve as we will react," Interfax cites her as saying.
