Earlier on Friday, a European diplomatic source in Brussels told TASS that the EU is not discussing in practice the possibility of introducing new economic sanctions against Russia as the Minsk agreements are being fulfilled.
"The issue of imposing new sectoral restriction measures on Russia is not being discussed in practice as the Minsk agreements are being fulfilled and there is hope for restoring peace in eastern Ukraine," the diplomat stressed.
If these terms are observed, this issue will not be considered at the EU foreign ministers’ meeting on March 16 and the EU Council meeting on March 19-20.
