Official says EU interested in abolishing anti-Russian sanctions
KALININGRAD, Jun 2 (PRIME) -- The E.U. is interested in abolishing sanctions against Russia if Minsk agreements are fulfilled, E.U. ambassador to Russia Vygaudas Usackas told reporters Thursday.
“We are interested in fully abolishing the sanctions once the Minsk agreements are fulfilled,” he said.
In 2014, relations between Russia and the West deteriorated to their worse since the Cold War due to a military conflict in Ukraine. The West introduced sanctions against some Russian individuals and firms and further against the energy and banking sectors. In response, Russia limited food imports from some countries, including the U.S., the E.U., Canada, Australia, and Norway.
