Permanent Commissioner Russia to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov believes that the economic penalties of Brussels on the Russian capital have the opportunity to be cancelled this summer.
" I think, rely on the impending abolition of the punishment of the European Union concerning the Crimea would be reckless. From the Crimean punishment, the European Union did not particularly suffer. He suffers From a sectoral, economic sanctions against Russia. I think that is more realistic to talk about the prospect of their removal, "said Chizhov, RIA" Novosti ". Answering the question whether there is such a prospect in this year, He said: " without a doubt ". Explaining possible, the Ambassador said, it can happen " somewhere, probably closer to the fly." punishment are not the subject of our dialogue with the European Union, " said Chizhov. Remember, on Thursday, the Ministers of foreign Affairs of the member countries of the European Union decided to extend until September of individual sanctions against the country, as well as militias in the Donbass. Anyway the results of the meeting Greece has made exceptions to the communiqu? paragraph on the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, as well as statements on the occasion of the Moscow responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine. So, the story is only about the extension and expansion of the existing anti-Russian actions. In explaining the decision of the foreign Ministers of the EU countries, Russia's permanent representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov said that European Ministers again missed a chance to get out of a rut superficial perception of the situation in Ukraine. He also said, because this decision undermines the partnership with Russia.
