As a European diplomatic source close to the EU Council told TASS earlier, foreign ministers of the 28 member states of the community will not adopt any decisions on sanctions against Russia at their first meeting of the year on January 19 in Brussels.
“Russia will, of course, be on the agenda of the Council (on EU foreign affairs) but the specific issues of sanctions – their cancellation, easing, extension or non-extension – will not be raised. The decision on sanctions will be taken in March,” the source said./.
