The possibility of introducing additional sanctions against Russia due to actions against Ukraine was discussed in the framework of the EU summit, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.
“If you translate… this concerns namely the possible introduction of
sanctions,” Poroshenko said at a news conference in Brussels on Friday.
“But I would like to emphasize three times that we do not need
sanctions for the sake of sanctions, we do not need some damage
inflicted to Russia. We need peace and we need open dialogue and
implementation of obligations taken,” the Ukrainian president said.
It is hoped that the fire will be ceased, the dialogue will occur and
the president’s peaceful plan will be implemented, Poroshenko said.
