Kiev is very fond of sanctions against Russia. It hopes that during Germany’s presidency of the EU Council these sanctions will be strengthened.
Ukraine continues to promote the idea that Russia is not implementing the Minsk agreements. The fact that it has nothing to do with them at all does not embarrass anyone.
Director of the EU and NATO Department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Marina Mykhailenko shared her dreams.
“Our first expectation concerns further work within the “Norman format” and in case there is no progress in implementing the Minsk agreements. We expect the continuation of all sanctions regimes that have been applied to Russia if the situation worsens, and we believe it will be worsened by such destructive steps as passporting, for example, the Ukrainian population in Donbas”, – she said.
And what about measures against Kiev, which should comply with the agreements but does not do so?
