Angelina Timofeeva. Punishment against Russia must be withdrawn in the case of a full recovery surveillance authorities in Kiev over the Ukrainian border, said Tuesday in Berlin the head of the division for international Affairs of the Bundestag Norbert Rottgen (Roettgen).

He took part in the discussion during the conference of Berlin Foreign Policy Forum.

"If there will be a progress in the restoration observations on the border from the Ukrainian country, although it is a very fundamental result, and He's not able to be achieved simultaneously, punishment must be withdrawn," said Rotten.

at the end of July 2014, the EU and the US imposed punishment on a number of sectors of the Russian economy due to the deterioration of relations between Russia and the West on the background of the conflict in Ukraine. In response, Russia in the last month of summer 2014 has limited the import of food items from countries that have imposed against her punishment, and declared the policy of import substitution. In the summer of 2015 penalties and retaliatory Russian measures were extended for another year.

at the same time Russia has always stated that is not part of Ukrainian domestic conflict and opts for a speedy resolution of the situation.
