“I believe in the strongest possibility that the sanctions will last until the end of the year. I came to this conclusion after discussions (with EU politicians),” Mr Zaoralek told state television.
According to Mr. Zaoralek, the issue of lifting or easing sanctions is not currently on the agenda.The tense situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine continues and the EU may change its position regarding the development of cooperation with Russia depending on the settlement of the situation in Ukraine.
Mr. Zaoralek said he did not hope for “the introduction of tougher sanctions against Russia”./.
