According to Ernest, Merkel played an important leading role in the preservation of this unity." Our goal is to ensure that it (unity) is preserved on a number of issues, among them the sanctions, which impose a significant cost on the Russian economy and are the result of destabilizing actions of Russia in Ukraine, " earnest said.
