BRUSSELS, Dec 9 (PRIME) – No E.U. country objected to a new rollover of economic sanctions against Russia at an E.U. summit on Thursday–Friday, an E.U. source told reporters on Wednesday.
“Not a single country has stated that the sanctions should not be prolonged,” the source 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.
