Vladimir Dobrovolsky. Russia's envoy to the EU Vladimir Chizhov believes that the European Union countries are not ready either to lift the economic sanctions against the Russian Federation or to strengthen them.
" As You may know, the EU is taking such important decisions due to the consensus of the 28 member countries. As far as I am aware the current mood of member countries, today there is no consensus on the abolition of the punishment, but there is no consensus about the increased pressure, " Chizhov said in the broadcast channel.
He said that about this show, for example, public statements by leaders and Ministers of foreign Affairs of several countries about the ineffectiveness of punishment.
The US and EU imposed sanctions against Russia, accusing it of interfering in the situation in Ukraine - Moscow these accusations fundamentally denies. Punishment has touched entire sectors of the Russian economy, including the defense industry, energy and Finance. In response Russia brought his punishment, limiting the import of agricultural products and food products from the EU and the USA, and other countries that participated in the introduction of sanctions against Russia.
