Report: Russia must fulfill Minsk deal for sanctions ease - France
MOSCOW, Nov 27 (PRIME) -- The abolishment of anti-Russian sanctions still requires fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told RTL radio station Friday a day after Vladimir Putin and Francois Hollande discussed the issue, he said.
“The sanctions will be cancelled once the Minsk agreement is fulfilled,” Fabius 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.
