The European Union has agreed to extend sanctions against Russia over its actions in Ukraine, following a similar move by the US this week, APA reports quoting Daily Mail.
European Council president Donald Tusk tweeted on Thursday while hosting an EU summit in Brussels: 'Agreed. EU will extend economic sanctions against Russia.'
The move has come about in relation to Russia's failure to implement measures promised in a peace agreement.
After Thursday's political decision, the sanctions will be formally extended for another six months, through to January.
The EU initially imposed sanctions on Russia three years ago after it annexed Crimea.
