Head of European Parliament against new sanctions on Russia

As Head of the European Parliament Martin Schultz told Austria’s APA new agency, he is against more sanctions on Russia.

“Sanctions are effective enough at the moment. There is no need for imposing new ones. I doubt it is possible to resolve the crisis by means of any additional sanctions,”- said Schultz, adding that the EU needs to patiently hold a dialogue on the subject of fulfilling the Minsk agreement.

According to him, the EU needs to make sure Russia gets the message that peace is achieved only by means of dialogue.
