The European Union has extended economic sanctions against Russia due to the occupation of Crimea and support for militants in Donbas. This was announced by the correspondent of Radio Liberty in Brussels Ricard Jozwiak on Twitter.
The sanctions restrictions have been extended for 6 months.
“Against the background of all the talk about the conclusions of the European Commission on Russia last night, EU leaders also gave the green light to a 6-month extension of economic sanctions against Russia in connection with the annexation of Crimea and support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. The sanctions have been holding for 7 years,” Yozvyak writes.
On June 23, it became known that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron propose to consider the possibility of inviting Putin to the EU summit. A number of countries of the union opposed this initiative. After the protests of the countries of the eastern flank of the European Union, the leaders of the bloc abandoned the idea of inviting Putin to Brussels.
