Baku-APA. The European Union is ready to revise sanctions imposed on Russia in connection with events in Ukraine when specific results are seen in the course of implementation of the Minsk agreements, Ambassador Vygaudas Usackas, the head of the EU Delegation to Russia, said Friday, APA reports quoting Itar-Tass.
Usackas told journalists that the EU is interested in calling off sanctions, but a very positive reason - stabilization and de-escalation of the situation in eastern Ukraine - is required for that.
The sanctions are not an end in itself and are not aimed against ordinary Russian citizens, he said, adding that Russia-EU relations were seeing progress at the level of cultural ties, business and border cooperation
