Paris and Berlin can Not doubt the Treaty, which are able to be achieved in Minsk, the EU is unlikely to accept a new package of sanctions against Russia, said the head of the Duma of the Department on international Affairs Alexei Pushkov.
"I don't see any reason to move the EU towards a new package of sanctions, after the EU leaders in the face (West German Chancellor Angel Merkel and President of France Francois) Hollande arrived in the capital of Russia, spoke with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, found a common language, on the other we had a meeting yesterday. If present, the European Union will go the way of punishment, it would be completely illogical and totally destructive "- quoted Puchkova RIA "Novosti" referring to " Kommersant FM ". Pushkov said that once were achieved Minsk agreement on 5 September, " the European Union has adopted a package of sanctions, including economic, then most of the European Union has said about it, because this is a mistake - it was necessary to give to the Minsk agreement to work "." Taking punishment, the EU will disavow these consensus on the fact about what will or will Not become arrangements - we will continue to put pressure on the Russian Federation, to try to weaken and suppress it. If present, the EU will go on this way, this means that all efforts have the opportunity to go awry.
