EU halts sanctions ahead of Ukraine summit
The European Union puts fresh sanctions against Moscow on hold ahead of a summit to thrash out a Ukraine peace plan aimed at ending 10 months of bloodshed.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says the EU would hold off implementing new individual sanctions to improve the chances of success at the four-way summit planned for Wednesday in Minsk.
“The latest peace initiative shows that things have begun to move,” Fabius says in Brussels.
“The principle of the sanctions will be kept but their implementation will depend on the situation.”
