Sanctions against Russia will remain in force until the conflict in Ukraine ends, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during a session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, APA reports.
"We will not lift any sanctions until Russia stops the war," the European Commission President emphasized.
She also stated that the European Commission rules out resuming purchases of Russian gas. The reason for this is the belief that Russia "could use gas as a weapon at any moment."
