EU extends Russia economic sanctions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union formally rolls over damaging economic sanctions against Russia for another six months, saying Moscow had failed to live up to its Ukraine ceasefire commitments.
EU leaders endorsed the move last week, charging that Russia had not halted its support for pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine nor put pressure on them to respect a ceasefire brokered by France and Germany which was meant to help end a deadly conflict dating back to early 2014.
The European Council, which groups the EU’s 28 member states, says the decision followed a summit briefing on the situation by French and German leaders Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel.
